10,000 Birds

The post Sampling Manakins appeared first on 10,000 Birds. Birding in Trinidad and Tobago has been likened to an introductory chapter in the book of birding in the Neotropics. And for good reason.

Where Does Vegan Baby Sky Get Her Protein?

OCTOBER 14, 2011
No matter what your beliefs are, when you're a parent you educate yourself about parenting style, nutrition (and Ginny Messina 's fabulous Vegan for Life recently arrived and includes nutrition information as well as sample menus for kids!) I'm constantly asked about the details of Baby Sky's life. Where does she get her protein? How are her bones going to grow without cow's milk? You mean she's never eaten bacon? Are you a communist?

Meditation on the Cheap

There are countless CDs and downloads and books, but MyYogaOnline is not only convenient (as in, you don't have to leave the house), but it is also very inexpensive to join (and you can view sample videos free of charge), and the videos are beautifully produced. As I've written many times, one of the ways I stay centered and grounded is through meditation.
UK Records Increase in Animal Testing
Critter News
JULY 26, 2009
The experiments range from small procedures such as taking blood and tissue samples to invasive brain surgery and inducing incurable diseases such as Parkinson's and cancer. Bad news from the Guardian. Nearly 3.7m experiments were performed on animals last year, a rise of 454,000 or 14% on the previous year, the Home Office said. The increase marks the greatest leap in animal use in medical research since 1986, when the government introduced new auditing procedures.

Long before CAT scans, X-rays, blood samples and colonoscopies, physicians used the good sense they were born with: their sense of smell. That’s because bacterias, cancers and infections create unique smells. Sweet, fruity breath could mean diabetes. A foul-smelling wound might spell an infection. Liver disease? Fishy-smelling breath. Kidney disease makes a mouth smell like urine. Tuberculosis smells like tar. (In

Where Are You Birding This First Weekend of April 2019?

APRIL 5, 2019
Sample some this weekend. April showers are said to bring May flowers, but this time of year offers far more than fancy flora. The avifauna, for example, can be exquisite. I’ll be hitting the hawk watch this weekend, hoping for something more interesting than the armadas of Turkey Vultures currently tipping through. Corey will be making the most of early spring birding in Queens. How about you? Where will you be this weekend and will you be birding?
Lessons Learned From 4 Years of Animal Person, Part 2

MAY 24, 2010
I'd do my "Let's deconstruct" shtick ( here 's a sample about Oprah) and I probably should have stuck to it. Yesterday's lessons learned were primarily about blogging. Today they're about language. Lesson #7 Obsessing over language can become counterproductive. And this, coming from a person with a doctorate in Applied Linguistics. I can talk about language all day, every day. How it shapes our lives and our culture. How it changes because it's not static--it's alive.

Publish Your Own AR Book or Magazine

MARCH 30, 2009
Many vegans and animal rights activists "have a book in them" but soon discover, despite their well-crafted book proposal and sample chapters, that most mainstream publishers aren't interested. The big secret of self-publishing is that you can figure out what you need, sample different paper and fonts, find an artist for your cover, and do all of the work yourself, or you can write your book and have someone else do all the rest very inexpensively.

Afterwards, perhaps trying some samples of the channel will confirm whether or not your dog has any interest in the dog-friendly programs DogTV is offering. For many of us, our dog is one of the most important friends in our life. Of course, when we aren’t with our human friends, they can generally entertain themselves pretty well and know that they will eventually see us again.

Our home is not immune to this, so I was really excited when I got to try out an awesome product from Greenleaf. The aroma diffuser is a unique and effective way to fill your house with fragrance, or in the case of pets, remove smells with their purifying option.

I recently got a chance to try some of their items, including the new scent, Good Karma, that supports animal rescue. I just love using everything I got to try because not only does it all smell great, but I love knowing that everything is animal friendly too. So of course we wanted to spread the word about Good Karma.

You'll need to know all of the information in your book proposal anyway in order to sell it, so forget carping about having to go through the exercise of a 50-odd page proposal (the bulk of which is your writing sample anyway).

While nothing extraordinary appeared, we eked out an excellent sampling of local winter avifauna. This past year may have felt like it lasted a grueling decade or more, but 2018 only spanned 52 weeks. As usual, we each had the same 52 weekends to make birding magic happen. Now that the last of our allotted weekends has passed, take stock of your birding year. Did you strive, learn, and enjoy in 2018? How will next year’s birding compare to this one?

Thanks to Doctors Foster and Smith, who provided the sample for this review. Baby the Maltese recently got a chance to try out some sweet potato fries from Doctors Foster and Smith. She was pretty excited to try them out, and got so happy about them that each time she gets one, she runs and plays with it before finally settling in to eat it. We captured one such event on video (you can watch if you like). The treats are all natural, made of only sweet potatoes.

Not only are they made from quality ingredients, they seem to taste really, really, good.
