Plasticity in humans is probably modulated primarily through experience and enculturation. Plastic behaviors are not automatically unrelated to natural selection, but the way those behaviors vary across individuals or across groups may not be best explained by underlying genetic differences. The bottom line is this.

Here are some myths: Falconry birds are essentially pets. When you see a falconer transporting their bird or walking with a group, the bird might be in a dark crate or hooded. It’s incredible to watch a Norther Goshawk or a group of Harris’s Hawks in action and up close. Go home now!” Not all the time.

With their strong flight and capability to disperse, parrots have managed to colonize almost every major island group from Tahiti to Mauritius to Dominica. In my experience, parrots form a visibly and numerically important component of the Brazilian bird fauna. There seems to be a parrot for almost any ecological situation.

Beloved family pet Dalmatian, Pepper, is stolen, and after several weeks of searching is discovered to have been experimented on at a hospital and died on the table when researchers tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

As the founder of Dogtopia, a national chain of upscale dog daycare and spas, I see dogs interacting with each other quite regularly during our daily play groups and at the “indoor” dog park days we host at our facilities during the winter. Following these tips will help make everyone’s experience at the dog park an enjoyable one.

birders have been able to visit Cuba as part of survey groups and cultural exchanges for years, but those trips have been few in number and not always easy to find. In addition to habitat loss, extreme weather, invasive species, hunting, and the illegal capture of birds for pet markets are major contributing factors.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We sing about them, we paint them, we use them as mythic and poetic symbols for our spiritual and emotional feelings, we wear them in myriad and often colorful ways, we adopt them as household pets.

Horowitz and other scientists are now running experiments to determine what a behavior, like a kiss, really means. In some cases, their research suggests that our pets are manipulating us rather than welling up with human-like feeling. Topál and his colleagues ran the same experiment on dogs–and the results were the same.

I happen to be particularly fond of turtles because my family has taken care of a small box turtle for 30 years (beware–turtles are extremely low-maintenance pets but will outlast your child’s youth and probably your life). Lovich and Whit Gibbons bring decades of research and experience to this book.

Animals in the tri-state area are euthanized daily, rescue groups are unable to save as many lives as they wish, and animals spend years in boarding kennels while awaiting adopters to fall in love with them. There is an estimated 3-4million pets euthanized each year in US animal shelters. Fostering is a wonderful experience.

Dogs, like most other intelligent animals, are designed to adapt to a variety of circumstances; they can happily live near busy streets, quiet country towns, in large groups or with a single human companion. If a dog has not had a lot of experience with strangers, new animals or loud noises, he can quickly become fearful.
