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 ...

Argus Ecology » Breeding bird surveysArgus Ecology » Breeding bird surveys
January 18, 2019. Time to start planning for spring. At the moment were well on the way through our programme of wintering bird surveys - vantage point surveys for wind energy developments, transect surveys on extensive sites and coastal surveys. There is still a little time to go before wintering birds will start to head north again. However, the breeding season is just around the corner, and this is a good time to plan for surveys.. Breeding bird surveys are increasingly recognised as an essential part of most environmental impact assessments. Many birds are recognised as priority species for the maintenance of biological diversity through the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in England and Wales, and Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act. As such, they are a key consideration in planning decisions. Bird surveys are of particular importance where a development may affect Special Protection Areas designated under the European Birds Directive, or Important Bird Areas recognised by ...

Why Are Urban Birds Smarter Than Rural Birds? - NewsBlaze NewsWhy Are Urban Birds Smarter Than Rural Birds? - NewsBlaze News
A new study revealed that urban birds dwelling amongst people are smarter than birds living in rural environments.. In a breakthrough study conducted by a team of McGill University researchers, it was found that city birds are good in innovative problem solving tasks and bolder compared to rural birds.. In addition, city birds have an edge over the rural birds because they adapted favorably to urban environments by exploiting new resources.. The study showed cognitive differences in problem-solving abilities for city birds versus the country. The study concluded that city birds are indeed smarter than rural birds.. This was affirmed by Jean-Nicolas Audet, a Ph.D student in the Department of Biology and first author of the study published in the journal Behavioral Ecology.. According to Mr. Audet, the study showed birds from urbanized areas are better at innovative problem-solving tasks than country bullfinches and have better immunity than rural birds.. The team expected that urban birds may ...

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 ...

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 ...

Environmental and socio-economic factors related to urban bird communities - LUCK - 2012 - Austral Ecology - Wiley Online...Environmental and socio-economic factors related to urban bird communities - LUCK - 2012 - Austral Ecology - Wiley Online...
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 ...

Bird Banding LaboratoryBird Banding Laboratory
The Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL) is an integrated scientific program established in 1920 supporting the collection, archiving, management and dissemination of information from banded and marked birds in North America. This information is used to monitor the status and trends of resident and migratory bird populations. Because birds are good indicators of the health of the environment, the status and trends of bird populations are critical for identifying and understanding many ecological issues and for developing effective science, management and conservation practices.. The BBL, since 1923 and in collaboration with the Bird Banding Office (BBO) of the Canadian Wildlife Service, administer the North American Bird Banding Program (NABBP), which manages more than 77 million archived banding records and more than 5 million records of encounters. In addition, each year approximately 1 million bands are shipped from the BBL to banders in the United States and Canada, and nearly 100,000 band ...

The state of Australias birdsThe state of Australias 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 ...

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 ...

If you see a youngish looking bird in the spring/summer season that presents with downy immature feathering and has short tail feathers it is a fledgling. You will notice most times that the bird is grounded and wandering around. To the observer the bird may appear injured or orphaned. The parent birds are close by and will go to their young to feed them. The parent birds are also teaching these young birds how to fly and forage. These young birds should be left alone. Put your cats and dogs inside!!!!! It should take no more than 3 days for the birds to start learning how to fly and be safely off the ground. In the interim of their education you can place the bird up in the crotch of a tree or somewhere safe off the ground to help protect the bird from predation.. ...

The Extra BirdThe Extra Bird
A bird house hung from a branch of a sycamore tree. Made from redwood, the tiny house had an opening cut just big enough for birds to fit in and nothing else. Several types of birds shared the feeder. Every evening three bluebirds, Azure, Indigo and Robin; three cardinals, Ruby, Scarlet and Carmine; and three canaries, Saffron, Topaz and Sunny, slept inside the house.. One morning Azure was the first bird to wake up. She yawned and stretched her wings. Hey, why does it seem more crowded in here? I used to be able to put my wings behind me and now I m squished. After a quick glance around the bird the bluebird climbed over all the other birds and squeezed through the hole. Time to find a worm. Only the early bird finds the worm. Hee hee. Off she flew. The other birds woke up one by one and didn t notice the extra body. That day the birds flew into and out of the bird house.

You have probably watched birds at some point in your life, whether intentionally or simply while looking in your backyard, visiting a park or a national wildlife refuge, or hiking on a trail. A soaring Bald Eagle, an Acorn Woodpecker tapping on a dead snag, a Gadwall landing on a pond, a singing Wood Thrush - all of these conjure up strong images in our minds. Over 46 million Americans count ourselves as bird watchers, or birders. Being a bird enthusiast takes many forms. You may simply notice the birds you see on evening walks or keep a backyard feeder filled with tasty enticements. Perhaps you own a bird guide (or two or three), always have your binoculars within easy reach, or plan your vacations around spring warbler migration. Maybe you have a life list and know exactly how many birds are left to complete it. Or maybe you dont even keep track of what you see. Regardless of how we engage with birds and bird watching, many of us are thrilled daily to see our feathered friends. Birding ...

19.5 Birds | Guest Hollows Homeschool Biology Curriculum19.5 Birds | Guest Hollows Homeschool Biology Curriculum
Some birds are generalists. A generalist is an organism that can eat many different types of food. Other birds are highly specialized in their food needs and can eat just one type of food. Raptors such as hawks and owls are carnivores. They hunt and eat mammals and other birds. Vultures are scavengers. They eat the remains of dead animals, such as roadkill. Aquatic birds generally eat fish or water plants. Perching birds may eat insects, fruit, honey, or nectar. Many fruit-eating birds play a key role in seed dispersal, and some nectar-feeding birds are important pollinators. Bird beaks are generally adapted for the food they eat. For example, the sharp, hooked beak of a raptor is well suited for killing and tearing apart prey. The long beak of the hummingbird in Figure below was created to be able to sip nectar from tube-shaped flowers.. ...

Eye Injury - New York Birds SocietyEye Injury - New York Birds Society
Most bird eye injury occurs from the following:. 1. Interaction with another bird:. Injury due to interaction usually occurs when birds living in a multiple bird situation continually squabble, or have a fright that causes the birds to fly wildly about the cage. If two birds are observed to be continually fighting, they should not be housed together.. Multiple birds, particularly cockatiels, who are prone to frights, should only be housed in numbers in a very roomy flight cage. If they are kept in crowded conditions, injury will invariably occur.. Most eye injuries are treated with an opthalmic triple anti-biotic ointment or solution (make sure the product does not contain steroids to reduce swelling, as this can prove harmful to your bird).. If there is no apparent cut or bruising, or reason to think your bird suffered an injury-such as evidence of a fright, or observed physical aggression from another bird-your bird may have an eye disease, such as conjunctivitis or sinusitis, and this will ...

What is Bird Flu or Avian InfluenzaWhat is Bird Flu or Avian Influenza
Avian influenza (AI) or bird flu is a group of viruses that occur naturally in birds. A virus is pathogenic if it can cause illness or death. Some AI viruses can infect birds but not cause many bird illnesses or death. Other AI viruses, termed highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), can cause large numbers of bird illnesses and deaths. Currently there is concern about one of these viruses, known as highly pathogenic H5N1, because it is causing severe disease in chickens and other poultry on several continents. It has also been found in wild birds in the same areas. In some instances, people who have had close contact with sick poultry have also become infected and gotten very sick. Approximately half of the people known to be infected have died.. Source. This entry was posted on Monday, May 11th, 2009 at 7:31 am and is filed under Bird Flu.

Deadly Bird Flu Comes to Tibet - www.phayul.comDeadly Bird Flu Comes to Tibet - www.phayul.com
Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a naturally occurring virus among birds. Wild birds are carriers of the virus but usually do not become ill from it. But avian influenza is extremely contagious and can cause domesticated birds like chickens and ducks to become sick and die. The particular subtype of bird flu that is currently circulating, H5N1, is deadly. Outbreaks of the disease have occurred in poultry in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos and South Korea. More than 100 million birds in these countries have died from the disease or have been killed (culled) in order to prevent its spread. In addition, there have been 108 cases of bird flu in humans and a total of 54 deaths. It is believed that humans become infected through contact with diseased birds and contaminated surfaces, including ingestion of raw or undercooked poultry. But much remains to be learned about specific modes of transmission ...

Industrial, agricultural, and petroleum contaminants in cormorants wintering near the Houston Ship Channel, Texas, USAIndustrial, agricultural, and petroleum contaminants in cormorants wintering near the Houston Ship Channel, Texas, USA
Double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus ) collected in the Houston Ship Channel, Texas, USA, in November shortly after their fall migration contained residues of several industrial, agricultural, and petroleum contaminants including polychlorinated styrenes (PCSs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDE, and petroleum hydrocarbons. PCS concentrations in over-wintering birds collected in late February were three times higher than those in birds collected in November. PCB and petroleum concentrations remained at about the same level throughout the 3-month winter period. Petroleum hydrocarbons were present in all cormorants and residues in some individuals exceeded 25 ppm (wet weight). Mean DDE residues in samples collected in November and February were less than 1 ppm. Low concentrations of five other organochlorine compounds, not detected in cormorants collected in November, were recovered in birds collected in February....

Understanding Bird Scent - Part 2: Diffusion - Blue SealUnderstanding Bird Scent - Part 2: Diffusion - Blue Seal
In last months column, Understanding Bird Scent-Part 1…The Bird, we learned about how bird scent is created. We know that there are scent rafts that create four different scent clouds that carry the scent into the atmosphere. Once the scent is airborne, there are numerous atmospheric weather conditions that affect the scent dispersal and the ability of our pointing dogs to locate a bird. In this part, of our three part series, lets examine those weather conditions that affect bird scent diffusion. Well also look at the effect weather has on bird movement which also produces scent diffusion.. First, however, lets get the scent off the bird. Every warm living creature has natural body air currents. Warm air rises so the body air current of a bird goes from the bottom to the top of the bird. Those body air currents transport the scent rafts, and resulting cloud, up and into the atmosphere. Thats why we want our pointing dogs to carry their heads high…thats where pointing scent is most ...

Mitochondrial respiration in hummingbird flight muscles | PNASMitochondrial respiration in hummingbird flight muscles | PNAS
Respiration rates of muscle mitochondria in flying hummingbirds range from 7 to 10 ml of O2 per cm3 of mitochondria per min, which is about 2 times higher than the range obtained in the locomotory muscles of mammals running at their maximum aerobic capacities (VO2max). Capillary volume density is higher in hummingbird flight muscles than in mammalian skeletal muscles. Mitochondria occupy approximately 35% of fiber volume in hummingbird flight muscles and cluster beneath the sarcolemmal membrane adjacent to capillaries to a greater extent than in mammalian muscles. Measurements of protein content, citrate synthase activity, and respiratory rates in vitro per unit mitochondrial volume reveal no significant differences between hummingbird and mammalian skeletal muscle mitochondria. However, inner membrane surface areas per unit mitochondrial volume [Sv(im,m)] are higher than those in mammalian muscle. We propose that both mitochondrial volume densities and Sv(im,m) are near their maximum ...

Birding: Innate traits help some birds with orientation - Portland Press HeraldBirding: Innate traits help some birds with orientation - Portland Press Herald
As I discussed in the last column, we know that the majority of migratory bird species have an innate knowledge of where they should go to spend the winter. It boggles the mind to realize that many first-year birds find their way - unaided by adults - to a wintering habitat they have never seen. Travel instructions are encoded in their genes.. In considering how migratory birds find their way, we need to recognize two different abilities of birds. First, the birds have a well-developed sense of navigation. In other words, they can set a course and follow it, barring intervention from hurricanes or other weather phenomena.. Second, some birds have well-developed abilities of orientation. Most migratory birds can navigate well but fewer can orient.. A famous experiment done with European starlings in Eastern Europe nicely distinguishes navigation and orientation. Some starlings were captured and placed in a cage in the spring. This particular population of starlings is migratory. In the spring, ...

Rapid diagnosis of avian influenza virus in wild birds: Use of a portable rRT-PCR and freeze-dried reagents in the fieldRapid diagnosis of avian influenza virus in wild birds: Use of a portable rRT-PCR and freeze-dried reagents in the field
Wild birds have been implicated in the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of the H5N1 subtype, prompting surveillance along migratory flyways. Sampling of wild birds for avian influenza virus (AIV) is often conducted in remote regions, but results are often delayed because of the need to transport samples to a laboratory equipped for molecular testing. Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) is a molecular technique that offers one of the most accurate and sensitive methods for diagnosis of AIV. The previously strict lab protocols needed for rRT-PCR are now being adapted for the field. Development of freeze-dried (lyophilized) reagents that do not require cold chain, with sensitivity at the level of wet reagents has brought on-site remote testing to a practical goal. Here we present a method for the rapid diagnosis of AIV in wild birds using an rRT-PCR unit (Ruggedized Advanced Pathogen Identification Device or RAPID,...

Bird Mites | Horticulture and Home Pest NewsBird Mites | Horticulture and Home Pest News
There are several species of mites called bird mites. These include the northern fowl mite (very common), the chicken mite, the American bird mite and many others. These mites are parasites on birds and are usually found on the birds or in their nests. Thus, under normal circumstances, bird mites go unnoticed. However, on occasion, bird mites wander away from the bird nests and are found indoors as accidental invaders.

Sea to sky | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological SciencesSea to sky | Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B: Biological Sciences
Salmon biomass was an important predictor of several measures of breeding bird density and diversity. Our findings demonstrate that breeding birds may benefit from residual salmon-derived nutrients in landscapes adjacent to spawning grounds and that this trend extends beyond stream riparian zones to estuarine riparian forests, and well beyond the salmon spawning season.. Total bird density, Shannons index of diversity (which emphasizes richness and rare species) and the densities of insectivorous birds, golden-crowned kinglets and Pacific wrens were correlated strongly with salmon biomass. Nutrients from salmon probably affect breeding birds through several indirect pathways, including increased availability of emerged adult aquatic insect prey. Adults of aquatic invertebrates are found throughout forested habitats and are consumed by insectivorous birds in multiple foraging guilds [37]. However, aquatic invertebrates are highly variable in marine-derived nutrient enrichment owing to the ...

Wintering Annas HummingbirdsWintering Annas Hummingbirds
With the start of this apparent range expansion in Idaho, we would like to document the progress of the population growth.. Birdwatchers have been an excellent resource for documenting Annas sightings, but there are limits to what we can learn by observing birds at feeders. At some feeders there are adult birds of different sexes, making identification of individuals simple. In many cases, multiple individuals have been found visiting one feeder. However, if multiple females or young birds are present it is difficult to determine whether there is more than one hummingbird visiting a feeder because they all look the same. It is also difficult for a birdwatcher to say whether the individual they spotted in September is the same individual they saw in March.. Thanks to reports from birdwatchers, during our first winter (2015-2016) studying Annas Hummingbirds in Idaho we (along with collaborator and hummbander Franceen Rudeen in eastern Idaho) confirmed reports of at least 55 individuals in the ...

Restoration projects to remove invasive plants free up needed space and resources for native plants and birds to thrive in a sustainable habitat. Native plants and native wildlife have a symbiotic relationship, where native birds serve as an indicator of healthy native habitats. For example, Least Bells Vireo- a federally endangered bird - nests in dense brush areas of native mule fat or native coyote brush. By restoring the ecological health of the area, we are contributing to the breeding success of this bird and others - birds that live in the area year-round as well as those migrating in both the spring and fall. There are many different non-native and invasive plants at the Basin that have posed issues to native wildlife year in and out. Annual non-native mustards-like shortpod mustard (Hirschfeldia incana) and black mustard (Brassica nigra) can grow to 6′ tall and create a dense, almost impenetrable thicket. This layer of biomass hides the invasive horehound (Marrubium vulgare). The ...

What do birds have that other animals dont? Feathers! Birds ability to fly has allowed them to spread throughout the world. Birds lay eggs, are warm blooded, have a light but strong skeleton and a highly efficient respiratory system. The bones of birds are hollow to reduce weight. They are not hollow like a tube, more like a tube with a criss-cross of support columns and diagonal beams. The bone is very strong. In some species, the bones are part of the respiratory system. Air circulates through the bones to help control the body temperature. Bird species have a wide variety of diets. Some eat grasses; others eat insects, small mammals, and even larger mammals. Birds have a variety of colors. Most of the males are very colorful to attract females. In most cases, the female color is fairly drab which allows them to be camouflaged while protecting eggs in the nest..

Like Humans Birds too Masturbate | Incredible BirdsLike Humans Birds too Masturbate | Incredible Birds
Like humans birds too show many different behaviors that are associated with sexual maturity and hormonal fluctuations. During breeding season, which is fixed in most birds depending upon the local climatic conditions, they behave instinctively in distinct ways under the powerful influence of sex hormones. How a bird would react sexually depends on various factors that include seasonal changes in daylight hours, diet, interaction with owners or favourite toys and objects (in case of pets), environmental influences. Such behaviours, sometimes very strange, are not necessarily associated with every bird. Masturbation is one such act which is usually associated with humans, but it is not exclusive to them. A few bird species have been reported to masturbate in the wild. They include budgerigar, cockatiels, spectacled parrotlets, a northern lapwing, and American Avocet. To masturbate, birds resort to rubbing their cloaca or vent (underneath the tail) on their favourite objects. In the case of pet ...

CFZ Watcher of the Skies: Watch these daredevil birds dive into chimneys en masseCFZ Watcher of the Skies: Watch these daredevil birds dive into chimneys en masse
During their fall migration south, thousands of chimney swift birds (Chaetura pelagica) gather in a tornadolike flock at dusk before dropping down a chimney-five birds at a time-to roost for the night. But unlike European starlings, which form massive daily flocks called murmurations, chimney swifts are flocking amateurs that spend most of the year in small groups. To understand how the birds manage this complex and rapid descent, researchers focused three cameras on an 1800-strong flock of chimney swifts as they funneled into an industrial chimney in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. By mapping the 3D position of each birds flight path, they found that swifts adjust their route based primarily on their closest flying neighbors, and ignore birds that are farther away, they report today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Whereas the outer circling is neat and orderly, cooperation breaks down as birds near the chimney, and they make a dash for the opening to get the best roosting sites. ...

Paul Pakan has lived in Schenectadys Woodlawn neighborhood for about 50 years and is accustomed to see his yard fill with birds at morning and night, drawn by his four feeders. But something is amiss. Ive seen zero blue jays, Pakan said. Theyre gone. Zero starlings. I always got woodpeckers. This year there are none, zero. My neighbors say the same thing. Pakan said he usually refills his feeders once a week, but this year the bird seed level has barely dropped an inch since the feeder was filled at the beginning of November. He noted that a hawk came to the area about five years ago, but believes the absence of birds hes experiencing this winter is too dramatic to be attributed to the hawk. There was a big drop-off after Hurricane Sandy, he said. When Sandy came through, the birds disappeared. Pakan isnt the only person wondering where all the birds went.

They were both pretty vigorous trying to break free of the hooks, he said.. Surgery was done immediately on Monday with the aid of anesthesia. And although the hooks were removed and the birds were successfully disconnected, they were left with serious puncture wounds.. Its hard to tell how the birds became entangled, Liberato said, but he said the most likely scenario ...

A Bird In the Hand At Burroughs Audubon Center | mymcpl.org - Mid-Continent Public LibraryA Bird In the Hand At Burroughs Audubon Center | mymcpl.org - Mid-Continent Public Library
The first thing youll notice is that even a decent sized bird like a Northern Cardinal only weighs a few ounces. Most of the apparent bulk of birds is made up of feathers, hollow bones, and an extensive network of air sacs. Therefore, even a very large bird weighs far less than youd expect based on its size: a Bald Eagle with a wingspan of almost 7 feet only weighs about 10 pounds!. The second thing youll notice is how warm birds are. In addition to light weight, flight requires a huge amount of energy, so birds have a very high metabolism. Thus, a typical songbird has a body temperature of around 105 degrees. Many birds can drop their body temperature substantially during resting periods, however.. But dont take my word for it. Check the calendar on the Burroughs Audubon website for the next session. Even if youre an experienced birder, youll learn a lot from Craig Hensley, who has been banding for almost 30 years. I finally learned how to quickly distinguish a Carolina Chickadee from a ...

Pterosaurs to Birds: March 2014Pterosaurs to Birds: March 2014
The evolution of birds from theropod dinosaurs was one of the great evolutionary transitions in the history of life [ 1-22 ]. The macroevolutionary tempo and mode of this transition is poorly studied, which is surprising because it may offer key insight into major questions in evolutionary biology, particularly whether the origins of evolutionary novelties or new ecological opportunities are associated with unusually elevated bursts of evolution [ 23, 24 ]. We present a comprehensive phylogeny placing birds within the context of theropod evolution and quantify rates of morphological evolution and changes in overall morphological disparity across the dinosaur-bird transition. Birds evolved significantly faster than other theropods, but they are indistinguishable from their closest relatives in morphospace. Our results demonstrate that the rise of birds was a complex process: birds are a continuum of millions of years of theropod evolution, and there was no great jump between nonbirds and birds ...
