Reddit Animals

for example - I laid an old blanket infront of her cage but she started to tear it apart and pee and poo on it. My problem is that she doesn’t want to go out of her cage, i always keep the top off or the hatch open, i only close it when i go to sleep. I’ve tried everything i could find on the internet.

Frustratingly Common

10,000 Birds

The irony is most apparent when a bird so named is a legitimate rarity – I get excited whenever I see a Common Ground Dove , for example.

Unintentional fishing litter can also hurt the birds. To give you one example, they have been documented following anglers.

So, I’m Writing a Field Guide

10,000 Birds

For example, American Robins don’r really need location information because they are all over the state. My desk is littered with general field guides, guides to specific families, books about bird behavior, and books about status and distribution of birds in New York while my browser is always opened to eBird and xeno-canto.

Resolutions for Birding in Costa Rica, 2019

10,000 Birds

For example, around here, we have to watch our step for vipers wonderfully camouflaged in the leaf litter. Living in warm Costa Rica, I no longer need to worry about venturing into the “frio extremo” to see a Pine Grosbeak or some errant gull.
