Zero Gravity Brewing Company: Bob White

10,000 Birds

But come spring, an even luckier few may even find a fellow survivor of their own kind with whom to start a family, unwittingly causing contentious debates among birders about the countability of established feral populations in the process.

Draai Laag Brewing Company: Haviken

10,000 Birds

This week’s beer – and its improbable avian mascot – is Haviken, a Belgian-inspired dark ale from Draai Laag Brewing Company of Pittsburgh. More feral flavors – produced by Haviken’s wild yeast and sur lie aging – skulk around the edges, evoking leather and even the iron-like tinge of blood.

Birding Tanjung Aru Beach, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia

10,000 Birds

The HBW describes the population of the Blue-naped Parrot at Kota Kinabalu as feral – sounds a bit harsh to me given the proximity of Kota Kinabalu to those areas where the species is deemed a proper resident.

February Birding in Tybee Island, Georgia

10,000 Birds

One massively negative aspect of birding Tybee Island is the sheer volume of feral cats and outdoor cats. The food was good, the company excellent, and the birding pretty good. Will I ever grow tired of confiding Tricolored Herons in the south? I hope not! They are everywhere! All-in-all, we had a good time at Tybee.

4 Lions are dead: Sad and all, but does it actually matter?

10,000 Birds

The elimination of vultures had its own knock on effects, such as the increase in feral dogs (now that there was more meat available for them) and corresponding increase in rabies. This story didn’t break today, by the way. The story I linked to is dated to three weeks ago. (It’s
