This is common with life-threatening situations and expected; any ancient ancestors who would have not paid heed to close calls would have likely been quickly and savagely selected from the gene pool (just trying to pet the Short-faced Bear again…). These smart looking birds are tropical sparrows.

In 1898, Hermon Bumpus published a paper about change in the morphology in a population of House Sparrows that he proposed was an example of Darwinian Natural Selection in action.

I’m now petting my rabbit Dougal, 6 more birds dead. So, should we tell people not to plant anything like snowy mountain ash that the above White-throated Sparrow is eating on its migration south? I just looked over at my husband–bam 5 birds dead. Never put up a bird house?

It’s easy to observe this attachment behavior in parrots, especially pets. While we’re used to declarations that our pet parrots “love” us just as we love them, and they can be quite demonstrative in showing their affection, the evidence is thinner for wild birds. Love includes elements of need, but primarily those of affection.

” I argued that the kittens were young enough to be socialized and pointed out that she had pictures of them letting her hold them and pet them. We do what we can by giving them food, shelter, and getting them their shots and fixed to prevent more feral litters.” Cats are a breathing warm blooded creature like so many others.

On the other hand, in the West, mice, and rats are also kept as pets, maybe with the same logic. a journal with the somewhat improbable-sounding name of “Journal of Thermal Biology” I am not sure what exactly thermal biology is, but the journal published a paper on the thermal properties of nests of the Eurasian Tree Sparrow.

The Eurasian Tree Sparrow is another bird that is very common in our compound. It is a wild bird, so it is different from the pigeons which are kept by people as pets (which sometimes also come to our compound). Fortunately, it is still quite common in Shanghai, particularly in some areas near the coast.

I can tell what bird territory boundaries are in my neighborhood or when an American Robin has spotted a bird eating hawk and when House Sparrows are agitated by Blue Jays are raiding their nests. I hid behind my futon while my pet rabbit Dougal peered up at my from beneath it. I am fluent in bird. This one didn’t stop.

What seeds does a Baird’s Sparrow eat? But many people who live closely with animals, whether as some of the more open-minded researchers or your average pet owners, have always been well aware that this simply isn’t true. What does a Flammulated Owl do all night? Where do Cook’s Petrels go to forage in the summer?

The primary reasons for the decline of macaws and parrots are many but habitat loss due to logging; clear cutting for crops and cattle ranching; and capture for the pet trade rank among the most threatening.
