Parrots captivate me more than any other bird family. However, they do not occur evenly across their familial distribution. In my experience, parrots form a visibly and numerically important component of the Brazilian bird fauna. Both of these endemic parrots suffer from habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade.

But, pets also become bona fide family members with which we establish genuine relationships—incomparable emotional bonds that can have extraordinarily positive physical and psychological impacts on humans. Studies have also found that: Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets. Staying connected.

After all, birding under a highway is not exactly my idea of a pleasant experience. After all, I had to suffer through it, why shouldn’t you? It was another nice look but I didn’t linger as I wanted to get home and enjoy the rest of the day with the family. Greater White-fronted Goose ! This is an ugly location.

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? What about being torn from your family? What about all of the elements of being confined and enslaved and killed and watching others meet their untimely demises?

Besides, suffering brings birds, right? Well, I did see a bunch of year birds but they were almost all shorebirds.

Within families, the species are arranged less taxonomically and more in line with “design and space considerations,” (Introduction), and on the plates themselves, species are arranged to facilitate comparison. Text is on the left, plates are on the right. In this specific case, I have to go with the latter.

There’s an imperative to get this message across to cat people who, like me, can be educated to value wild lives as much as we value the lives of our four-legged family members. It’s tribal and familial. Caring for our own is an element of survival.

Pardalotes are actually their own family, and a family entirely endemic to Australia. Insofar as they relate to other bird families, they are perhaps closest to the thornbills, another family that is mostly Australian but reaches as far as Thailand and Fiji. A Spotted Pardalote ! What a treat!

More importantly, I know which groups/families occur in these regions, which ones resemble each other, and where to find them in my books even in cases where similar groups are found in different segments of my field guide because they are not closely related to each other. This means I know my birds quite well.

He is against it for himself and his family. This says it all: "[T]he vision of sustainable farms that give animals a good life (a life as good as we give our dogs or cats) and an easy death (as easy as a death we give our suffering and terminally ill companion animals) has moved me" (242). This is very silly. Not a single one.

It’s actually a member of the family Artamidae, which includes the woodswallows (not actually swallows), the butcherbirds (not actually shrikes) and the peltops (which actually are peltops, since there are no others). The Australian Magpie is not actually a magpie, a fairly common state of affairs for birds from the colonies.

Also, the have families (as if other animals don't). Meanwhile, gorillas don't live in a traditional human family structure of mom, dad and kids, but somehow their family structure is an important reason for us to save them. All animals except the dog are called "it" (I did a little experiment to see what would happen).

The members of his family have no objections; on the contrary, they rather relish the idea. Such animals would be incapable of feeling pain or having experiences of any kind. KBJ: Ditto.

CBCs are different than your run of the mill winter birding experience, because you’re generally going to be spending much more time out in the field that you usually do, and in weather that you might not usually choose to bird in. There was a variety of food and usually great deserts. And then we all sat in a circle and did the lists.

Pros – it’s big, doesn’t look too much like a chicken, tastes good, is found in most of Oz and has some experience of the job. Also, is only found in Queensland, which makes one think it’s probably already suffered enough. They once were involved in a war with the Australian military and held them to a draw.
