Among birds the Egyptian Vulture uses rocks to crack Ostrich eggs, the New Caledonian Crow and Woodpecker Finch (one of several Darwin Finches of the Galapagos Islands), uses sticks to extract grubs from inside a branch.

Before we got to our destination, I pulled the car over to investigate an almost deafening twittering. These irruptive visitors to T&T always are a pleasure to experience.

Fighting, bickering, and more fighting – I think it’s safe to say that most of us experience enough of arguing, fighting, and other awful toxic behaviors to not need any more of it in our lives. We here at 10,000 Birds have no shame and it was either this or lots of posts about woodcocks, boobies, and woodpeckers.

The confluence of these two elements gives rise to a unique experience with a distinctive aesthetic.
