Pets come to depend on their owners, trusting them to do what’s best for them, and every owner should make the effort to treat their pet right. Just like people, pets that are not treated right can suffer from stress and other health problems, and an inadequate diet, for example, will make cats more prone to infections and illnesses.

As the rice paddies near Kota Kinabalu described in an earlier post , Tanjung Aru beach is not really a major birding spot in its own right. The Long-tailed Parakeet can sometimes be seen here feeding right next to the Blue-naped Parrot. Unfortunately, this may not impress the villager who can earn US$ 4 for a trapped bird.

Purely physical details, such as those found in a trayful of Oriole skins in a museum or a university ornithology department are important, but much of the orioleness is missing from them, says Kricher – their propensity, for example, to pound on windows in mating season.

This gorgeous grouping of emus in the middle of an Australian salt lake, for example (below), was the product of his eye and his genius — but also of luck, in a couple of regards.

For example, my classic trash bird in open habitats here is the Vermilion Flycatcher. All right, I’ll admit that we also have some more drab trash birds as well. But, as most of our readers know, the phrase “trash birds” usually refers to those species that one sees so often that they become tiresome.

If you’re a homebody who cherishes your quiet time, you most likely don’t want a talkative breed that requires constant exercise, for example. Although every dog is a unique individual, there are characteristics that are inherent in certain breeds which could help you find the right dog for your personality type.

Maybe Moss is right, and birds have changed history. A prime example is the 1958 Chinese campaign to eliminate sparrows, considered pests because they fed on grain. The book is a grab-bag of facts about the ten birds, mostly culled from other works. Various experts are enlisted in support of this idea.

If Adam Smith had known this, he would have pointed out that his pin factory example more or less has the same rationale behind it.

Right, unless you are a stranger attacked by a male conspecific. For example, eBird says that “adults [are] overall pale grayish with black cap and back” Then again, it is called Black-crowned, so the color must be black, right? The scientific species name venustulus means lovely, charming.

How is a bird blogger to figure out how much social media is just right? Too little material appearing on Facebook, Twitter, and Google + and your blog is likely to not get the attention it rightfully deserves. Before I continue I should point out that I am not an expert at anything, least of all social media.

For example, the standard QWERTY keyboard is arguably inefficient and there are likely better alternatives. In law, there is often a similar approach, memorably articulated by Justice Louis Brandeis , who said “in most matters it is more important that the applicable rule of law be settled than that it be settled right.”.

Whether individuals have legal rights depends on the laws and other legal background (e.g., the United States) citizens meeting certain requirements have the legal right to vote or run for elected office; in other countries (e.g., Libya) citizens do not have these rights. First, moral rights, if there are any, are universal.

The Ashy Tailorbird is a good example of the different perspectives of describing a bird – while the English name focuses on the body of the bird, the Latin species name ruficeps refers to the rufous head. The paper cites the example of the Blue-footed Booby: Its foot color becomes duller when the birds are malnourished.

An important read for pet owners about their legal rights. For example, if the landlord realizes neighborhood rental prices have gone up, he can’t force you out by pointing to the no-pets policy if he’s known all along you had a dog or cat.

Here's a hint from the authors: In the end, it's not the grammarians and usage experts who decide what's right. In the eighteenth century, for example, grammarians tried to stamp out the use of "wrote" as the past tense of "write." The animal rights movement, such as it is, is experiencing somewhat of a crisis of usage.

The scolding alarm call of the Spectacled Thrush for example is something that I grew extremely tired of – the birds would sit on our window and glare at our indoor cat and yell (what I presume to be some form of obscene insult) at him. Clearly a maddening situation for any right-thinking thrush.
