10,000 Birds

JUNE 7, 2012

Once a body of research was established and the bird was declared endangered, it took many more years of experimentation, political maneuvering, conflicts with the National Guard, and some tragic fires to establish what is now acclaimed as a model conservation project. Now there are volunteer guides, tours and a local festival.

Also, check labels and do your research before you use any fertilizers, pesticides, or mulch. If that sounds like a lot of work, designate a grass-free area of the yard (preferably one that’s somewhat out of the way from your outdoor living space) and train your dog to relieve himself only in that spot. Confinement.

Marc Hauser, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard University, recently opened his own such research lab and has 1,000 dogs lined up as subjects. In some cases, their research suggests that our pets are manipulating us rather than welling up with human-like feeling. Other facilities are operating in the U.S. and Europe.

Ackerman’s new book is about owls and owl research–the knowledge recently and currently being discovered through DNA analysis, new-tech tracking and monitoring, and old-fashioned fieldwork under the auspices of organizations like the Global Owl Project and the Owl Research Institute. I want to read about owls, not people.”

4 The Love Of Animals

MAY 8, 2011

Gazing at Cathy Conheim, a psychotherapist raised to hate cats because they ate birds, and Donna Brooks, a retired physician and sculptor who had never had a cat, but always reached out to heal anyone who was hurting, the kitten eyed them hopefully. Animals are our safe havens, an unending source of unconditional love and acceptance.

Scientific research shows that many animals are very intelligent and have sensory and motor abilities that dwarf ours. More research is needed, but initial studies by the Pine Street Foundation and others on using dogs for diagnosis are promising. Grief, friendship, gratitude, wonder, and other things we animals experience.

I never researched the resort, imagining that it lacked the amenities my family wanted, but visiting for dinner allowed us to rent its grandeur without forking over the considerable room rates. Seriously, Panama raises the art of under-communication to new, deplorable heights. One along the train tracks near Summit Ponds.

Animal Ethics

FEBRUARY 15, 2009

Scientific research and expertise are needed here. The question can be raised: Why should these organisms be killed and others not be killed? But recent experiments with chimpanzees suggest that the day may be near when we can ask trained chimpanzees if they want to be eaten for food.

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. Most scientific research really just proves the obvious. So, the birds start collecting mud and small sticks. Nest building: a good activity for a rainy day. You should try it too. Back to real birds.
