A survey of serum and dietary carotenoids in captive wild animals. (1/4610)

Accumulation of carotenoids varies greatly among animal species and is not fully characterized. Circulating carotenoid concentration data in captive wild animals are limited and may be useful for their management. Serum carotenoid concentrations and dietary intakes were surveyed and the extent of accumulation categorized for 76 species of captive wild animals at Brookfield Zoo. Blood samples were obtained opportunistically from 275 individual animals immobilized for a variety of reasons; serum was analyzed for alpha- and beta-carotene, lutein + zeaxanthin, lycopene, beta-cryptoxanthin and canthaxanthin. Total carotenoid content of diets was calculated from tables and chemical analyses of commonly consumed dietary components. Diets were categorized as low, moderate or high in carotenoid content as were total serum carotenoid concentrations. Animals were classified as unknown, high, moderate or low (non-) accumulators of dietary cartenoids. Nonaccumulators had total serum carotenoid concentrations of 0-101 nmol/L, whereas accumulators had concentrations that ranged widely, from 225 to 35,351 nmol/L. Primates were uniquely distinguished by the widest range of type and concentration of carotenoids in their sera. Most were classified as high to moderate accumulators. Felids had high accumulation of beta-carotene regardless of dietary intake, whereas a wide range of exotic birds accumulated only the xanthophylls, lutein + zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin or cryptoxanthin. The exotic ungulates, with the exception of the bovids, had negligible or nondetectable carotenoid serum concentrations despite moderate intakes. Bovids accumulated only beta-carotene despite moderately high lutein + zeaxanthin intakes. Wild captive species demonstrated a wide variety of carotenoid accumulation patterns, which could be exploited to answer remaining questions concerning carotenoid metabolism and function.  (+info)

Casts of hepatic blood vessels: a comparison of the microcirculation of the penguin, Pygoscelis adeliae, with some common laboratory animals. (2/4610)

Latex casts of the hepatic blood vessels of the penguin, Pygoscelis adeliae, and of some common laboratory animals were compared. There was general similarity between the different species, but the portal venous and hepatic arterial systems of the penguin were simpler than those of other species. Measurements were made of the volume and length of portal veins and it appears that the portal venous system is capable of being a more efficient blood reservoir in the penguin than in other species studied. The peribiliary plexus was especially well formed in the penguin and was drained by long veins which usually joined portal venous branches. Some of the long veins drained directly into the hepatic venous tree: these translobular veins were more prominent than in mammals. Anastomoses between hepatic artery and portal vein were not present in penguins, and the supply to the sinusoids appeared to be separate. The morphology of small hepatic veins of all the species appeared to be similar.  (+info)

First report of Thelazia sp. from a captive Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana) in Japan. (3/4610)

Nematodes of the genus Thelazia were recovered from the cornea and inferior conjunctival sac of an immature Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana). The bird hatched and reared at the Toyooka Oriental White Stork Breeding Center, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, but died of chlamydiosis. There were neither gross nor histopathologic ophthalmic lesions. The eye worm from a bird is believed to be first reported in Japan. As regarding reintroduction plan for the Oriental white stork, control measures for prevent further infection with the eye worm will be needed.  (+info)

Evidence for a correlation between the number of marginal band microtubules and the size of vertebrate erthrocytes. (4/4610)

In 23 species of vertebrates the dimensions of erythrocytes and the number of their marginal band microtubules were examined. A positive correlation was found between the size of erythrocytes and the number of microtubules. The absence of microtubules in diskoid erythrocytes of mammals-Camelidae-is discussed.  (+info)

Temperature regulation and heat dissipation during flight in birds. (5/4610)

Core and skin temperature were measured by radiotelemetry in starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) during 30 min flights in a wind tunnel. Core temperature was independent of ambient temperature from 0 to 28 degrees C. The temporal mean of the monitored core temperature during flight was 42-7 degrees C in one bird and 44-0 degrees C in another. These temperatures are 2-4 degrees C higher than the resting temperature in starlings, and are among the highest steady-state temperatures observed in any animal. Skin temperature on the breast was within a few degrees of core temperature. In some locations skin temperature was higher at low ambient temperatures than at intermediate ambient temperatures. An analysis of the data shows that a high core temperature does not function as an aid to head dissipation. On the contrary, insulation is adjusted to maintain a high temperature, presumably because it is necessary for flight. The increase in skin temperature at low ambient temperatures is believed to be a result of a decrease in heat flow through the breast feathers brought about by feather adjustments, to compensate for an unavoidable increase in heat flow in unfeathered or poorly feathered parts of the body.  (+info)

Activities of citrate synthase, NAD+-linked and NADP+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases, glutamate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in nervous tissues from vertebrates and invertebrates. (6/4610)

1. The activities of citrate synthase and NAD+-linked and NADP+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenases were measured in nervous tissue from different animals in an attempt to provide more information about the citric acid cycle in this tissue. In higher animals the activities of citrate synthase are greater than the sum of activities of the isocitrate dehydrogenases, whereas they are similar in nervous tissues from the lower animals. This suggests that in higher animals the isocitrate dehydrogenase reaction is far-removed from equilibrium. If it is assumed that isocitrate dehydrogenase activities provide an indication of the maximum flux through the citric acid cycle, the maximum glycolytic capacity in nervous tissue is considerably greater than that of the cycle. This suggest that glycolysis can provide energy in excess of the aerobic capacity of the tissue. 2. The activities of glutamate dehydrogenase are high in most nervous tissues and the activities of aspartate aminotransferase are high in all nervous tissue investigated. However, the activities of alanine aminotransferase are low in all tissues except the ganglia of the waterbug and cockroach. In these insect tissues, anaerobic glycolysis may result in the formation of alanine rather than lactate.  (+info)

Molecular studies suggest that cartilaginous fishes have a terminal position in the piscine tree. (7/4610)

The Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) are commonly accepted as being sister group to the other extant Gnathostomata (jawed vertebrates). To clarify gnathostome relationships and to aid in resolving and dating the major piscine divergences, we have sequenced the complete mtDNA of the starry skate and have included it in phylogenetic analysis along with three squalomorph chondrichthyans-the common dogfish, the spiny dogfish, and the star spotted dogfish-and a number of bony fishes and amniotes. The direction of evolution within the gnathostome tree was established by rooting it with the most closely related non-gnathostome outgroup, the sea lamprey, as well as with some more distantly related taxa. The analyses placed the chondrichthyans in a terminal position in the piscine tree. These findings, which also suggest that the origin of the amniote lineage is older than the age of the oldest extant bony fishes (the lungfishes), challenge the evolutionary direction of several morphological characters that have been used in reconstructing gnathostome relationships. Applying as a calibration point the age of the oldest lungfish fossils, 400 million years, the molecular estimate placed the squalomorph/batomorph divergence at approximately 190 million years before present. This dating is consistent with the occurrence of the earliest batomorph (skates and rays) fossils in the paleontological record. The split between gnathostome fishes and the amniote lineage was dated at approximately 420 million years before present.  (+info)

Prehistoric birds from New Ireland, Papua New Guinea: extinctions on a large Melanesian island. (8/4610)

At least 50 species of birds are represented in 241 bird bones from five late Pleistocene and Holocene archaeological sites on New Ireland (Bismarck Archipelago, Papua New Guinea). The bones include only two of seabirds and none of migrant shorebirds or introduced species. Of the 50 species, at least 12 (petrel, hawk, megapode, quail, four rails, cockatoo, two owls, and crow) are not part of the current avifauna and have not been recorded previously from New Ireland. Larger samples of bones undoubtedly would indicate more extirpated species and refine the chronology of extinction. Humans have lived on New Ireland for ca. 35,000 years, whereas most of the identified bones are 15,000 to 6,000 years old. It is suspected that most or all of New Ireland's avian extinction was anthropogenic, but this suspicion remains undetermined. Our data show that significant prehistoric losses of birds, which are well documented on Pacific islands more remote than New Ireland, occurred also on large, high, mostly forested islands close to New Guinea.  (+info)

Double-crested Cormorant - Phalacrocorax auritus - Overview - Encyclopedia of LifeDouble-crested Cormorant - Phalacrocorax auritus - Overview - Encyclopedia of Life
A large (33 inches) waterbird, the Double-crested Cormorant is most easily identified by its black body and wings, long hooked bill, and orange chin patch. This species may be separated from the related Great Cormorant ( Phalacrocorax carbo) by that species larger size and large white chin patch, from the related Neotropic Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) by that species smaller size and small white chin patch, and from the similar-looking Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga) by that species longer neck and tail. Male and female Double-crested Cormorants are similar to one another in all seasons. The Double-crested Cormorant breeds in scattered locations along the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to Baja California, along the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to Florida, in the northern Great Plains, and in the West Indies. Southern breeding populations tend to be non-migratory, while northern breeding populations migrate south to the coasts, the interior southeastern U.S., and Mexico. ...

Great Cormorant - Phalacrocorax carbo - Overview - Encyclopedia of LifeGreat Cormorant - Phalacrocorax carbo - Overview - Encyclopedia of Life
Great cormorants eat fish and are known for their excellent diving skills. They forage in fresh as well as saline or brackish water. They can rotate their eyes, something most other birds are unable to do. Unlike other water fowl, their plumage is not oily. They absorb lots of water, so they need to spread their wings to dry after a swim. This bird has not had an easy life in the Netherlands. Because it was considered a rival for fishermen, they were shot, poisoned, chased away and even hung in huge numbers ...
Phalacrocorax aristotelisPhalacrocorax aristotelis
Description. This is a medium-large black bird, 68-78 cm long and with a 95-110 cm wingspan. It has a longish tail and yellow throat-patch. Adults have a small crest in the breeding season. It is distinguished from the Great Cormorant by its smaller size, lighter build, thinner bill, and, in breeding adults, by the crest and metallic green-tinged sheen on the feathers. Among those differences are that a shag has a lighter, narrower beak; and the juvenile shag has darker underparts. The European Shags tail has 12 feathers; the Great Cormorant, 14 feathers. The green sheen on the feathers results in the alternative name Green Cormorant sometimes being given to the European Shag.. Habitat. It feeds in the sea, and, unlike the Great Cormorant, is rare inland. It will winter along any coast that is well-supplied with fish.. The European Shag is one of the deepest divers among the cormorant family. Using depth gauges, European Shags have been shown to dive to at least 45 metres. European Shags are ...

Keep Bird Seed Fresh for Birds - HorticultureHorticultureKeep Bird Seed Fresh for Birds - HorticultureHorticulture
Do you like to feed wild birds in winter? Follow these tips to keep your bird seed fresh.. Putting out bird feeders is a great way to attract more birds to your yard and garden in winter. There are some steps you need to take to ensure that the bird seed you are storing stays fresh and safe for the birds to eat, and to make sure your bird seed supply area stay neat and well stocked.. First, when purchasing seed for birds, avoid bird seed in burlap bags. Insects can easily get through the burlap and infest the bird seed. Mice and chipmunks and other rodents like to eat bird seed. Avoid buying bags that have obvious holes or have been patched. This means that somewhere along the supply chain, rodents have gotten into the bird seed.. At home, keep in mind that open bags of bird seed will attract rodents. When you open a bag of bird seed, transfer its contents into a heavy-duty plastic bin with a locking lid. A metal can with a tight lid will also work to store your bird seed. To store smaller ...

Bird trapping - WikipediaBird trapping - Wikipedia
Bird trapping techniques to capture wild birds include a wide range of techniques that have their origins in the hunting of birds for food. While hunting for food does not require birds to be caught alive, some trapping techniques capture birds without harming them and are of use in ornithology research. Wild birds may also be trapped for their display in captivity in zoological gardens or for keeping as a pet. Bird trapping was formerly unregulated, but to protect bird populations most countries have specific laws and regulations. Almost all traps involve the use of food, water or decoys to attract birds within range and a mechanism for restricting the movement, injuring or killing birds that come into range. Food, water, decoy birds and call playback may be used to bring birds to the trap. The use of chemical sprays on crops or food can have more widespread effects and are not usually included in trapping techniques although there are some capture techniques that make use of bait with ...
Western cattle egret - WikipediaWestern cattle egret - Wikipedia
The western cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. Most taxonomic authorites lump this species and the eastern cattle egret together (called the cattle egret), but some (including the International Ornithologists Union separate them. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonised much of the rest of the world in the last century. It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Western cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, ...

USDA APHIS | Biosecurity for Pet BirdsUSDA APHIS | Biosecurity for Pet Birds
Birds are very popular pets. Many sought-after exotic birds come from other parts of the world. Because of the high prices associated with some of these breeds, the smuggling of exotic birds into the United States has become profitable and dangerous in terms of the chances of introducing diseases such as AI and END into the country.. The USDA quarantines and tests live birds imported into the United States to ensure that they do not have any foreign animal diseases such as the HPAI H5N1 virus. All imported live birds (except from Canada) must spend 30 days at a USDA quarantine facility where they are tested for the AI virus before entering the country. Returning U.S.-origin pet birds (except from Canada) also are tested and are home-quarantined. You must make a reservation at the chosen quarantine facility in advance by contacting the USDA port veterinarian.. To find out more about importing a pet bird, please see the APHIS Web site on animal imports. You may also find the publication "Importing ...

Two street dogs died after eating dead chicken from a poultry farm in India… Azeri dog died from bird flu virus… Suspected bird flu outbreak leaves 4 dogs and about 100 chickens dead in Ivory Coast… Significant numbers of dogs in Thailand carry the H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus. These headlines have caused a lot of dog owners to be apprehensive. Given the fact that dogs are highly valued pets, any dog owner would fear for the health of the pet. What is bird flu? Are dogs really susceptible to this disease?. Avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu is an illness that is caused by any strain of the influenza virus that has adapted to a specific host. As the name suggests, the virus has adapted to birds. Bird flu is a highly transmissible disease of birds. This virus has a wide range of symptoms. While some species of wild birds can carry the virus without getting sick, other birds and poultry would get ill when infected. Infected poultry would show either of the two forms of the ...

Lets face it, most of us like to have birds around, but we have a problem with their droppings. The major complaint about bird droppings involve unsightly or smelly messes, concerns about property damage, as well as potential health risks.. Unsightly or Smelly Messes. Most of the time this is the real problem with bird droppings-we just dont want to see them. While that is certainly understandable, birds are part of our natural environment so we shouldnt be too upset about the occasional bird dropping on our car, house, or patio furniture. Bird droppings become more of a problem when we create structures like window sills, decks, or utility lines where birds come to sit frequently and do their duty. If bird droppings are accumulating the first thing to look at is how to alter the landscape so that the birds cant physically come and sit where they are making the mess. This may be done with architectural or structural modifications to a building or other structure, or by installing bird spikes ...

Urban fauna communities may be strongly influenced by environmental and socio-economic factors, but the relative importance of these factors is poorly known. Most research on urban fauna has been conducted in large cities and it is unclear if the patterns found in these locations coincide with those from smaller human settlements. We examined the relative importance of environmental and socio-economic factors in explaining variation in urban bird communities across 72 neighbourhoods in 18 regional towns in south-eastern Australia. Native bird species richness varied from 6 to 32 across neighbourhoods and was higher in neighbourhoods with more nectar-rich plants. Variation in bird species diversity across neighbourhoods was also strongly positively related to the density of nectar-rich plants, but was higher also in neighbourhoods with higher socio-economic status (reflecting higher levels of disposal income, education and home ownership). The density of native birds across neighbourhoods per ...
Woodpecker | Animal WildlifeWoodpecker | Animal Wildlife
The woodpecker has a distinctive long beak, which the woodpecker uses to make holes in trees. The woodpecker does this in order to dig out the grubs living under the bark. The average woodpecker is able to peck up to 20 pecks per second! The woodpecker is only able to peck so much and move its head so quickly without getting a headache due to the air pockets that help to cushion the woodpeckers brain. Woodpeckers are omnivorous birds and feed on a mixture of plants and animals (mainly insects). The woodpecker eats seeds, berries, fruits, nuts and bugs but the exact species of the woodpeckers food depends upon the area which the woodpecker inhabits. Due to their generally small size, woodpeckers have numerous predators in their natural environment that not only prey upon the woodpecker itself but also the woodpeckers eggs. The main predators of the woodpecker include wild cats, foxes, rats. snakes and large birds although many other species of animal will prey on the woodpecker too ...
The state of Australias birdsThe state of Australia's birds
Many native Australian bird species are declining. Birds of garden, water, scrub and woodland are showing marked falls in their populations says a new report by Birds Australia (BirdLife in Australia). The encouraging news is that the status of some species is improving as a result of conservation action.. This is the sixth the state of Australias birds report, and presents an up-to-date overview of the health of bird populations in Australia and the main challenges to their sustainability. This 2008 report focuses on trends in bird populations revealed by around 50 long-term monitoring programs that have been running for up to 40 years.. Trends in bird populations are mixed, but more species are in decline than were reported in 2003. Common birds are far less common than they once were, for example populations of the familiar Australian Magpie Gymnorhina tibicen have slumped.. Many, and perhaps most, of our native birds are in decline for a range of reasons including habitat loss and ...

Interpretive Summary: Parasites are powerful indicators of ecological structure and interactions, particularly those involving foraging behavior and food habits. Identification of such linkages is dependant on the development of baseline data for distribution and host associations by various parasites on local to regional scales. As a cumulative process, such survey and inventory for faunal structure provides the foundations to explore ecological change and perturbations associated with climate and other forces. We provide the first data for parasite diversity in adult double-crested cormorants from breeding colonies on four very different lakes spanning a major ecotone (borderland between ecological zones) from prairie to boreal ...

Ciconia ciconiaCiconia ciconia
A flock in migration over Israel. Migrating White Storks use the uplift of air thermals to reduce the effort of long-distance flying.. Systematic research into migration began with German ornithologist Johannes Thienemann who commenced ringing studies in 1906 at the Rossitten Bird Observatory, on the Curonian Spit in what was then East Prussia. Although not many storks passed through Rossitten itself, the observatory coordinated the large-scale ringing of the species throughout Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Between 1906 and the Second World War about 100,000, mainly juvenile, White Storks were ringed, with over 2,000 long-distance recoveries of birds wearing Rossitten rings reported between 1908 and 1954.[48]. Routes. White Storks fly south from their summer breeding grounds in Europe in August and September, heading for Africa.[40] There, they spend the winter in savanna from Kenya and Uganda south to the Cape Province of South Africa.[49] In these areas they congregate in large flocks which ...

Turkey VultureTurkey Vulture
Two illnesses that these birds have been unable to avoid are DDT and Lead Poisoning. Prior to the 1980s the population was declining due to the amount of DDT found in their food. Since the DDT ban the population has been on the rise, though Lead Poisoning continues to be an issue. The Turkey Vultures will feed on carcasses that were killed by lead shot, ingesting the lead themselves. Hunting has also hurt their population in the past, as people erroneously believed that they spread diseases. Of course, the exact opposite is true- the Vultures help to stop the spread of disease by consuming the dead and rotting meat. Turkey Vultures are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and it is now illegal to kill, take, or own one ...

Each spring, Hubbard Brook comes alive with the arrival of migratory birds. Many migrate from wintering areas in the tropics to take advantage of the abundant insects and the long summer days of northern areas, which are beneficial when raising young. Avian ecologists, scientists who study the ecology of birds, have been keeping records on the birds that live in the experimental forest for over 40 years. These data are important because they represent one of the longest bird studies ever conducted!. Richard is an avian ecologist who began this study. He was interested in how bird populations were responding to long-term environmental changes in Hubbard Brook. Every summer since 1969, Richard takes his team of scientists, students, and technicians into the field to count the number of birds that are in the forest and identify which species are present. Richards team monitors populations of over 30 different bird species. They wake up every morning before the sun rises and travel to the far ...

USDA APHIS | USDA Publishes Updated Interagency Strategic and Surveillance Plans for Avian Influenza Migratory BirdsUSDA APHIS | USDA Publishes Updated Interagency Strategic and Surveillance Plans for Avian Influenza Migratory Birds
July 2, 2015 - Today, the U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) released two updated interagency plans related to the surveillance of avian influenza in wild birds. As part of USDAs on-going preparation efforts for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), these updated plans will help USDA with further monitoring of wild birds for the HPAI virus during the fall migration. Between now and March 2016, HPAI surveillance in wild birds will increase as APHIS Wildlife Services biologists and their State partners collect approximately 41,000 samples from apparently healthy wild birds from targeted areas throughout the United States.. The first updated plan- U.S. Interagency Strategic Plan for Early Detection and Monitoring for Avian Influenzas of Significance in Wild Birds-describes a unified national system for migratory wild bird sampling involving Federal, State, university and non-governmental organizations. The second updated plan- 2015 ...

Cats Continue Their Ongoing War Against Birds - Mother JonesCats Continue Their Ongoing War Against Birds - Mother Jones
Yes indeed, the slaughter of wildlife. But theres not much new here. The investigators attached cameras to a bunch of cats and then counted how many critters they killed. The lead author calls the results "surprising," and the press release from the American Bird Conservancy says the study shows that house cats kill "far more than the previous estimate of a billion birds and other animals each year.". That might be true on the "other animals" front, but not on the bird front. A year ago the American Bird Conservancy estimated that cats killed 500 million birds per year. The new study says that cats kill….500 million birds per year. Last year I looked into this and concluded that this probably represents about 3% of all birds in the United States. Theres more to it than just that (cats might have a bigger impact on specific species in specific places, for example), and you can decide for yourself whether 3% is a lot or a little. Either way, though, this study doesnt seem to change things ...
Flight: How Birds Mastered the SkiesFlight: How Birds Mastered the Skies
For my last blog during my tenure at the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center, I decided to focus on adaptations birds evolved for flight. Even though birds arent the only animals that can fly (bats and many insects can fly), part of the reason we are fascinated by them is because of this ability to take to the air. Using their own faculties and without technology, birds can fly almost anywhere in the world. Most of us have imagined what it would be like to be a bird, soaring through the sky, free to go anywhere at any time. But how are birds able to fly and we humans cannot? Over the past 150 million years, birds have evolved many adaptations to not only make flight possible, but to optimize their aerial abilities. Some of these adaptations, like wings, are more obvious, while others are hidden beneath their bodys surface.. Gravity pulls all matter, including animals, towards the earth. Birds overcome this force through unique adaptations. These adaptations are focused on mechanisms ...

Georgia birds tested for avian fluGeorgia birds tested for avian flu
Its that summer trip, and the company the gray and white bird keeps in Canada, that make it a prime candidate for a new study in which researchers from the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division are testing migratory shorebirds for bird flu.. "There is a potential that they could cross paths with migrant species from Alaska or Iceland, so it is important that we monitor for the presence of highly pathogenic avian flu," said Brad Winn, program manager for the WRD Coastal Nongame Program.. In the first round of sampling on the Altamaha delta between Sapelo and Sea islands late last month, Winn and colleagues launched netting over roosting flocks and caught 14 birds, including seven red knots. The other birds were black-bellied plovers, ruddy turnstones and sanderlings.. Researchers test for avian flu by taking a fecal sample from each bird. The birds are released unharmed.. Federal and state biologists will be capturing and sampling birds in every state as part of the interagency strategic plan ...
Beautiful: Most Beautiful BirdsBeautiful: Most Beautiful Birds
Modern birds are characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. All living species of birds have wings; the most recent species without wings was the moa, which is generally considered to have become extinct in the 16th century. Wings are evolved forelimbs, and most bird species can fly. Flightless birds include ratites, penguins, and a number of diverse endemic island species. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are highly adapted for flight. Some birds, especially corvids and parrots, are among the most intelligent animal species; a number of bird species have been observed manufacturing and using tools, and many social species exhibit cultural transmission of knowledge across generations ...

Find Out How Photonic Therapy Can Help Your Pet Bird - Photonic TherapyFind Out How Photonic Therapy Can Help Your Pet Bird - Photonic Therapy
Reduced Appetite: It is very important that pet birds receive adequate nutrition every day as they have an extremely high metabolism. When a bird loses interest in food and starts to lose weight, it may be due to illness or distress. It may also be a sign of intestinal blockage or impaction. Rapid weight loss can very quickly be life threatening for birds. If your bird is displaying these symptoms you should also monitor the condition of droppings which can indicate ill health.. Unusual Droppings: If you keep the cage regularly cleaned, you will know what your birds normal droppings look like and this will make it easier to detect early any changes. Look for signs of unusual colour or consistency. A change in the colour of the birds droppings could be due to dietary changes or ill-health. Generally, droppings that are yellow, rusty brown, or tarry black are warning signs of serious problems, such as internal bleeding.. Ruffled Feathers: Your birds physical appearance can also give you a sign ...
CURE CANCER 80- Don: Scotts Miracle-Gro sold bird seed contaminated with toxic poisons, class-action lawsuit seeks damagesCURE CANCER 80- Don: Scotts Miracle-Gro sold bird seed contaminated with toxic poisons, class-action lawsuit seeks damages
Scotts failed to disclose that its bird seed contained pesticides that were known to be highly toxic to birds," says the complaint. "Instead, [Scotts Miracle-Gro] knowingly sold millions of units of its defective and toxic bird seed products, knowing the products would be widely used to feed birds at purchasers homes, in back yards and in wild and natural environments across the United States." Scotts Miracle-Gro apparently started using the two chemicals as bird seed coating to prevent insects from ravaging the product in storehouses prior to shipment and use. But neither Storcide II nor Actellic 5E are approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in bird feed, and the EPA specifically recognizes Storcide II as being extremely toxic to birds, fish, and other wildlife, which means it clearly has no place being used in food given to birds. "Both chemical toxins act as cholinesterase inhibitors that result in overstimulation of the nervous system," says a piece published by ...

Energetics and nutritional ecology of small herbivorous birdsEnergetics and nutritional ecology of small herbivorous birds
e-mail1: [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT. Herbivory is a rare strategy in birds. Only 3% of extant birds exploit plant material as an energy source. Both plant chemical composition and bird constraints associated to flight and digestion may explain why herbivory is so scarce in small endotherms such as birds. Here we tackle the question of how herbivorous birds meet energy/nutrient requirements when feeding on extremely poor diets. We focus on Phytotoma rara (Phytotomidae), possibly the smallest herbivorous bird. From our mini-review we conclude that several features such as the fast passage rates, an effective physical breakdown of cell walls, and constant and high activities of digestive enzymes make available the highly nutritious cell contents to the small herbivore, without the energy costs of anatomical structures for bacterial fermentation or slow passage rates. These are possible crucial adaptations in the evolution of herbivory in small birds.. Key words: ...
How Birds Migrate - Greg Ladens BlogHow Birds Migrate - Greg Laden's Blog
by Paul Kerlinger (with Illustrations by Pat Archer), Second Edition, is an affordable, up to date (2009 publication) comprehensive and intelligently written book. It is written for the general public but is not dumbed down. The thing about bird migration is that there are many facets to the behavior. There are different kinds of birds, with respect to the nature of their flight, body size, etc (think albatross vs. hummingbird). There are many kinds of landscapes across which birds migrate (terrestrial regions of varying degrees of habitability vs. open ocean). Migrations may vary in length or even fidelity to the process, with some birds in a given population doing it, others not. And, of course, there are numerous mechanisms involved in the process, with some subset of those mechanisms being used by any given bird species. The best way to think about migration is probably as a collection of strategies using a collection of tools by a diversity of bird species. This book does a good job at ...
Birds - EnvironmentBirds - Environment
Birds are an integral part of any habitat, whether natural or unnatural and are often the most visible wildlife wherever we go. This is probably why birds and birdwatching are so popular with a great many people. Not only do they add aesthetic value and interest to our gardens and towns, they also play an important role in ecosystems.. Birds are very varied and they can eat anything from fruit to other birds and live anywhere from hedges to church steeples. Species we see around our gardens and in the local area change with the seasons as birds come and go. Spring migration brings in species such as swallows, martins, cuckoos and nightjars that we only see in the summer whilst our estuaries attract internationally important numbers of waders, ducks and geese in the winter. In order to attract birds to our gardens and protect them in the wider countryside we must make sure we cater for different species the whole year round.. Devon is particularly important for birds with species like the cirl ...
Nature Nuggets: Visiting Western Chatham-KentNature Nuggets: Visiting Western Chatham-Kent
Although birders are welcome, the water levels are such that there isnt a great diversity of birds at the moment. On some occasions it has been very good for shorebirds as well as waterfowl and wading birds. Today the shorebirds were completely absent, except for a single Spotted Sandpiper and a couple of Killdeer. Waterfowl were limited to Canada Geese, Mallards and Wood Ducks. As common as Double-crested Cormorants are becoming, there were even 3-4 of them in the area. A few wading birds were around, including several Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets and Black-crowned Night-Herons. I also saw an adult Common Moorhen, but as is their usual behaviour, it was quite shy and would not let me get its photo ...
Recreation alters bird community | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological SciencesRecreation alters bird community | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological Sciences
Our findings confirm our hypothesis that even low levels of disturbance during territory establishment, with no concomitant habitat alteration, can have a negative effect on both density of breeding birds and species richness. Such an effect was not apparent in long-distance migrants, as they arrived after the end of the experimental disturbance, and thus were not exposed to it. These findings are in agreement with Steven et al. [15] and Monz et al. [14], which state that even low levels of disturbance (such as ours) can have significant importance. Contrary to other experimental studies, which also show a negative link between human disturbance and bird density and/or diversity [46-49], we restricted disturbance to the territory establishment period. Thus, our results suggest that territory establishment may be a sensitive period, in which human disturbances could greatly affect the density and diversity of breeding birds.. During the territory establishment period birds select breeding sites, ...

Due to the potential risk that bird feeders and bird baths pose as transmission sites for Trichomonas it is recommended that these are emptied and taken down during outbreaks. Remove feeders and baths for at least two weeks to encourage birds to disperse from the area, reducing the potential for disease transmission. There is often plenty of other sources of food and water for birds during the summer months.. Clean and disinfect bird feeders and bird baths thoroughly and regularly. It is recommended that you use a weak solution of household bleach to disinfect feeders and baths.

Species testing positive for exposure to the bacteria include feeder favorites such as Black-capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and American Goldfinches. But exposure was also detected in forest species, such as the Wood Thrush.. "That was another surprise," says Dhondt. "How on earth do Wood Thrushes get infected with mycoplasma? Theyre not a feeder bird at all. Everyone has always assumed that feeders play a major role in the transmission of the disease and this study shows thats not necessarily so.". Dhondts team caught and tested nearly 2,000 individual birds from 53 species, looking for evidence of current infections (bacterial DNA) or past infections (antibodies) by Mycoplasma gallisepticum. The birds were studied in and around Ithaca, New York, between January 2007 and June 2010. The diagnostic tests revealed that 27 species of birds were infected by this bacterium. The actual number of species exposed to the bacteria could be even higher than suggested by this study because the test ...

ANALYSIS UNDER 5 U.S.C. Sec. 801(a)(1)(B)(i)-(iv) OF TWO MAJOR RULES ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE ENTITLED "MIGRATORY BIRD HUNTING; FINAL FRAMEWORKS FOR LATE-SEASON MIGRATORY BIRD HUNTING REGULATIONS"; AND "LATE SEASONS AND BAG AND POSSESSION LIMITS FOR CERTAIN MIGRATORY GAME BIRDS" (RIN: 1018-AE93) (i) Cost-benefit analysis According to the cost-benefit analysis contained in the filing, the migratory bird hunting regulations (of which these regulations are a part) collectively have an economic impact in excess of an estimated $600 million in direct expenditures. For example, the analysis indicates that $293.3 million will be spent by duck hunters on equipment, $144.3 million on food, $147.1 million on transportation and lodging, plus $73.8 million "other" direct expenditures. Without these regulations, the Service opines that the resources spent in game bird hunting would, to some degree, be spent on other recreational activities. The analysis notes that ...

A new 30-minute film, narrated by actor Richard Chamberlain, explores the on-going bird extinction crisis in Hawaiʻi that has led to about 70 percent of all native bird species in the state becoming extinct.. The film, Endangered Hawaiʻi, was produced by American Bird Conservancy (ABC), the nations leading bird conservation organization, with funding by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. It is being premiered at the Environmental Film Festival in the Nations Capital, March 24 (at 12:30 and 2:00 p.m.) at the National Wildlife Visitor Center in Laurel, Maryland.. With beautiful footage of some of Hawaiʻis stunning birds and their habitats, the film showcases the unique biodiversity of our 50th state and explains the environmental crisis that has caused Hawaiʻi to become known as the "Bird Extinction Capital of the World." It describes the nature of the crisis, its causes, and current efforts to implement solutions for species remaining on the brink.. "It is shocking to many people ...
Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy of birds - WikipediaSibley-Ahlquist taxonomy of birds - Wikipedia
Some of these changes are minor adjustments. For instance, instead of putting the swifts, treeswifts, and hummingbirds in the same order that includes nothing else, Sibley and Ahlquist put them in the same superorder that includes nothing else, consisting of one order for the hummingbirds and another for the swifts and treeswifts. In other words, they still regard the swifts as the hummingbirds closest relatives. Other changes are much more drastic. The penguins were traditionally regarded as distant from all other living birds. For instance, Wetmore put them in a superorder by themselves, with all other non-ratite birds in a different superorder. Sibley and Ahlquist, though, put penguins in the same superfamily as divers (loons), tubenoses, and frigatebirds. According to their view, penguins are closer to those birds than herons are to storks.[verification needed]. The new research[citation needed] suggested that the ducks and gallinaceous birds are each others closest relatives and together ...

Bird Brained | The BehemothBird Brained | The Behemoth
When it comes to comparing the abilities of birds and people, its easy to accept there are some ways in which our fellow creatures outperform us. We cannot fly, for one thing, and we are not as good as birds are at travelling accurately for a long time in a particular direction, while birds routinely migrate vast distances without any kind of help. We find it easy enough to appreciate that birds are superior in the sensory department: they see more crisply, have more of an ultraviolet component to their vision, and some, such as owls, also have extraordinary powers of hearing. As it happens, they also have a magnetic sensitivity that we probably lack. Birds are endowed with many physical gifts..

Europes aquatic birds will seek new nesting sites in the face of global warmingEurope's aquatic birds will seek new nesting sites in the face of global warming
Reproductive populations of species with nesting areas close to the Arctic "could even disappear from the continent", adds Real.. By monitoring aquatic birds that inhabit marshes, wetlands, fresh water or salt water, coastal waters and 55 river basins, it has also been possible to show that water availability, climatic seasonality, availability of resources and the size of the area inhabited are all secondary factors when it comes to explaining the distribution of these species in Europe. A historical explanation for the dispersion of aquatic birds. The group also suggests that the recent effect of glaciations in the Quaternary Period (from more than 2.5 million years ago up until the present) and the high mobility of aquatic birds could provide a historical explanation for the wide distribution of these species. The fact that some birds from the more geographically restricted groups in Europe are highly dispersed and can be found beyond the continent indicates that only those animals that are ...
Woodpecker - WikipediaWoodpecker - Wikipedia
Woodpeckers range from tiny piculets measuring no more than 7 cm (2.8 in) in length and weighing 7 g (0.25 oz) to large woodpeckers which can be more than 50 cm (20 in) in length. The largest surviving species is the great slaty woodpecker, which weighs 360-563 g (12.7-19.9 oz), but probably the extinct imperial woodpecker and ivory-billed woodpecker were both larger.[1]. The plumage of woodpeckers varies from drab to conspicuous. The colours of many species are based on olive and brown and some are pied, suggesting a need for camouflage; others are boldly patterned in black, white and red, and many have a crest or tufted feathers on the crown. Woodpeckers tend to be sexually dimorphic, but differences between the sexes are generally small; exceptions to this are Williamsons sapsucker and the orange-backed woodpecker, which differ markedly. The plumage is moulted fully once a year apart from the wrynecks, which have an additional partial moult before breeding.[2]. Woodpeckers, piculets and ...
Pheromones in birds: myth or reality? - Caro Samuel PPheromones in birds: myth or reality? - Caro Samuel P
en] Birds are anosmic or at best microsmatic... This misbelief persisted until very recently and has strongly influenced the outcome of communication studies in birds, with olfaction remaining neglected as compared to acoustic and visual channels. However, there is now clear empirical evidence showing that olfaction is perfectly functional in birds and birds use olfactory information in a variety of ethological contexts. Although the existence of pheromones has never been formally demonstrated in this vertebrate class, different groups of birds, such as petrels, auklets and ducks have been shown to produce specific scents that could play a significant role in within-species social interactions. Behavioral experiments have indeed demonstrated that these odors influence the behavior of conspecifics. Additionally, in quail, deprivation of olfactory inputs decreases neuronal activation induced by sexual interactions with a female. It seems therefore well established that birds enjoy a functional ...
Angry Birds review - GameZoneAngry Birds review - GameZone
With a $0.99 game, players shouldnt expect much. Perhaps something interesting, or an addicting formula that has you coming back for more, but always something simple. I mean, who can afford to make a complex game for just a buck?. Angry Birds does all three, and marvelously. From developer ClickGamer, Angry Birds tells the simple story of a rivalry between birds and pigs, where the pigs are tired of boring grass and want eggs, either scrambled or sunny-side up. Thankfully, their neighbors, the birds, have a built-in egg production factory ripe for the taking. (Thus the angry.) The birds will do whatever it takes to get those eggs back, and besides a 90-second Looney Toons style video, thats all there is to the story.. Gameplay is simple enough: shoot birds with a slingshot at a selection of pigs, defended only by their glass, wooden or concrete surroundings. The angle you shoot them at makes all the difference, and once the bird is fired, physics takes over and drives the propelled ...
Bleeding - New York Birds SocietyBleeding - New York Birds Society
Whenever one finds blood in the cage, or blood on a bird, the first thing to be done is to locate the source of the blood flow. While a bird can certainly bleed to death from an injury, they rarely do because avian blood clots quickly and effectively. Still, one must take immediate steps to staunch blood flow from a bird, as they have very little blood volume in their body. Losing more than 10% of this blood volume is considered unsafe.. Blood Volume in Birds. So, how much blood in inside of your bird? Birds normally have 6-11 mls of blood per 100 grams of body weight. So a cockatiel weighing 100 grams would have about 8-10 mls of blood in its body, and could therefore only afford to safely lose .8 to 1ml of its blood. This equates to about 8-10 drops of blood before the safety line has been crossed.. Each ml/cc equates to approximately 10 drops of fluid.. Keep in mind that the amount of blood in the cage may look to be a much larger quantity than it actually is, because it spreads. Take an eye ...

International Bird Rescue celebrates 40th years - SFGateInternational Bird Rescue celebrates 40th years - SFGate
In January 1971, a pair of Standard Oil tankers collided under the Golden Gate Bridge and gushed nearly 1 million gallons of crude into the bay. A steadfast group of volunteers, armed with a donation from Chevron, set about the Herculean task of organizing and training volunteers, dealing with government agencies and the media, and learning the delicate art of scrubbing petroleum off pelicans, ducks and other water birds. The result was International Bird Rescue, which has since led bird-rescue efforts for more than 200 oil spills worldwide, including the Exxon Valdez, Deepwater Horizon and Cosco Busan spills, and saved thousands of birds, from penguins to albatross. About 30 to 80 percent of birds taken in by International Bird Rescue are later released, depending on the type of oil, the severity of the spill and the species of bird. Coordinating rescue efforts and training hordes of volunteers, with almost no advance warning, is endlessly challenging.

A slow pace of life in Australian old-endemic passerine birds is not accompanied by low basal metabolic rates.A 'slow pace of life' in Australian old-endemic passerine birds is not accompanied by low basal metabolic rates.
Author(s): Bech, Claus; Chappell, Mark A; Astheimer, Lee B; Londoño, Gustavo A; Buttemer, William A | Abstract: Life history theory suggests that species experiencing high extrinsic mortality rates allocate more resources toward reproduction relative to self-maintenance and reach maturity earlier (fast pace of life) than those having greater life expectancy and reproducing at a lower rate (slow pace of life). Among birds, many studies have shown that tropical species have a slower pace of life than temperate-breeding species. The pace of life has been hypothesized to affect metabolism and, as predicted, tropical birds have lower basal metabolic rates (BMR) than temperate-breeding birds. However, many temperate-breeding Australian passerines belong to lineages that evolved in Australia and share slow life-history traits that are typical of tropical birds. We obtained BMR from 30 of these old-endemics and ten sympatric species of more recently arrived passerine lineages (derived from Afro-Asian

Master Naturalists: Fewer Inca doves this year | Advosports | Victoria Advocate - Victoria, TXMaster Naturalists: Fewer Inca doves this year | Advosports | Victoria Advocate - Victoria, TX
Drinking water Doves and pigeons are the only North American birds that can suction water into their esophagus. That means they can drink without having to raise their head. Other birds must dip their bill into water, then let the water drain into their throat by raising their head. Thats a very useful ability for doves. Lab studies have shown that some dove species drink as much as 15-25 percent of their body weight in water daily. Some may also depend on cactus fruits water. Some that regularly eat fleshy fruit and berries may get much of their water from the food. In dry areas, doves water needs can require long flights to reach it, maybe even 25 miles. People seeking water have followed doves to a source because doves can remember where theres water and return to it. Early settlers in arid areas learned what a help the birds could be.

Attracting birds with a birdbathAttracting birds with a birdbath
Although birds receive much of their necessary fluids from their food, most species require at least some water for drinking. Most birds drink by dipping their bills into water and tipping back their heads. Other birds, such as doves and pigeons, immerse their bills and suck up the water. Their heads pop up every few seconds to check for predators. For the birds, its all about feeling safe. Place your birdbath near scrubs or trees to allow for a quick escape. A shady spot also helps the water stay cooler in summer and keeps algae under control. A pedestal or raised birdbath will help protect birds from cats and other predators. Slope and water depth are important factors when selecting a birdbath. Choose a style with a gentle slope and depth of no more than 2-3 inches. If birds sip from your birdbath but never seem to bathe, consider placing a large flat rock or a collection of small rocks in the bowl.. Add fresh water to your birdbath daily, especially in hot weather. The California Department ...

Many of the skins represent the first documentation of the species in the state; a few remain the only documentation of the species for the state.. Also included is a large teaching collection consisting of about 100 bird skins, 50 bird nests, and about 30 full taxidermic mounts of birds.. "The current centerpiece of the bird collection are the thousands of skins of birds that preserve the sample and color of each species," said curator Geoff Hill. "These study skins represent an invaluable tool in teaching Auburn students how to identify birds.". Hill has also built a loose-feather collection, setting ...

Obesity in BirdsObesity in Birds

Unlike their wild counterparts, pet birds are not given as much opportunity for daily exercise, which includes flying to escape predators, playing and looking for food. Pet birds burn off very few calories in their daily lives. Additionally, many owners incorrectly feed their pet birds, by offering a diet consisting mostly or totally of seeds. Seeds are deficient in many vitamins and minerals and they are high in fat (the birds like seeds because the fat makes them taste good). A high-fat diet and no exercise predispose birds to obesity.. ...
