For example, and I expect a few of you know what I am referring to… if you photograph a “goshawk” in the middle of Tucson, and the area’s leading birders and everyone else tells you it’s a Cooper’s Hawk …you should listen to them. Listen to the people. No need to get defensive.

The survival of songbirds depends in part upon eliminating illegal hunting. Take Hawaii, for example. Confiscated from a poacher in Brescia, Italy, this robin will be released to fly away into an uncertain world, where habitat is threatened and predators and poachers await.

For example, the Brown Honeyeater visits more than 300 different flowers. It is almost certainly a rumor that writing a post about Australia and not mentioning dingos is illegal, but why take the risk? One distinction is that birds in Australia are much more important as pollinators of flowers than elsewhere.

And that flight is illegal because EU legislation does not allow export of game meat from Serbia to EU. Serbian government is selling out a threatened species to poachers to acquire funds that would allow it to, for example, buy one new car for the Ministry of Agriculture. The Turtle Dove is not a trophy animal.

In addition, many of the numbers and examples given for NYC areas beyond the Bronx represent species observed in Central Park in Manhattan and Prospect Park in Brooklyn. It’s a very mixed chapter.

The former is worse than the latter, though in some jurisdictions both would actually be considered illegal. For example, there is a woman that drives into my neighborhood and leaves a heap of rice, bread, and other assorted food on a street corner regularly.

Understanding that threats to animals can range from illegal trafficking to utter exploitation, these leaders strive to promote the safety and protection sanctuaries offer our fury, feathered, four-legged friends.

Compare, for example, the species account illustration of the Cuban Trogon with the photo that opens up the introductory chapter. In addition to habitat loss, extreme weather, invasive species, hunting, and the illegal capture of birds for pet markets are major contributing factors. That’s almost 20 percent!

For example , fallen figs do not seem to mind catching a ride with Oriental Pied Hornbills. There are some reports of the species having bred in captivity, for example, in a British Wild Life Park.

For example , in one study, it was found that more than 80 percent of the fledgling Australian Magpies born in a territory one year were sired by males from outside its borders. When these birds breed, this can lead to highly cringeworthy announcements, for example from Adelaide Zoo : “We have egg-citing news!”

If you aim to achieve some kind of immortality, you might do worse than follow the example of Oana Mirela Chachula, a biologist at the National Museum of Romanian History, Romania.

Now, there are still 10 million of them there but, due in part to a population dip after 1970, it is, in the reign of the second Elizabeth, illegal to kill them intentionally. What’s magic about 1970? What, for that matter, is normal?

For example, a wind turbine is intended to generate power, but in doing so it will likely harm birds, albeit unintentionally. Although there has been a split in the courts , “incidental take” has generally been considered within the scope of the MBTA, so harming or killing migratory birds has been illegal regardless of intent.
