And are sensible to things, be it sound, smell, they can sense things, be alert, like cat whiskers, or rabbit ears, etc. they are haunted by other animals, or are in trouble due to humans, maybe humans hunt them or use them for experiments, maybe now there's few in wild or most have been domesticated, anything like that.

Dirt hawking is a form of falconry that involves hunting rabbits and other small game with Harris Hawks (other hawk species also qualify). One of the primary reasons that these hawks make such excellent falconry birds is because they are one of only two raptor species (the other is the Galapagos Hawk ) that hunt cooperatively.

Young Scott put in yeoman’s work first identifying, then attempting to photograph the birds he stumbled across while hunting rabbits with a friend, and apparently his drive has stayed with him from that day to this. He now runs the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute out of Estes Park.

Whilst catfish have around 100,000 taste buds, rabbits around 17,000 and humans approximately 9,000, birds rarely exceed 100 of these receptors. Honeyguides, for example, are strongly attracted to the smell of wax. This is particularly useful for a bird with small eyes that hunts under the soil surface at night.

For example, since eagles and hawks tend to rip their prey apart and have stronger digestive acids, their pellets look like wads of fur. I took home a few of the pellets and found that the owls were feasting on grey squirrels and cottontail rabbits. Some pellets are more interesting than others.

It is a book with a careful infrastructure, however (even though it doesn’t have an index), with references to one section from another, enabling the curious reader to go down structured rabbit holes, pursuing information on nesting or skeletal systems or feather structure throughout the book. copyright @2020 by David A llen Sibley.

By way of an example take the Western Gulls that I studied on the Farallon Islands in California. One of the first examples I ever encountered was in the books of Gerald Durrell, the famous conservationist who was an early pioneer of the roles of zoos in conservation. This is a very serious business here in New Zealand.
