I was gifted with these two feathers by a friend. They said one is a Turkey feather (above) and the second is a Red Tailed Hawk feather (below). But I have never seen a Red Tailed Hawk feather that comes close to looking like this one. Anyone have any ideas on what the second feather could be? Has a barred pattern with a reddish tint on the edge of the feather. Makes me think it could be a common buzzard or some sort.
How can I get my budgie to play? I've tried putting millet in toys and moving them around and acting excited but he hasn't touched any of them at all. I've had him for about 4 weeks and he's 4 months old.
The first thing I’ll say is be consistent and persistant. He’s not going to learn how to use a toy if he doesn’t know what to do with it in the first place. So, you have to encourage him with excitement and rewards (food and vocal) for slow progressions. I.e first - he goes near the toy = treat,He touches the toy = treatRings the bell = treat.So just keep doing things in small steps.
In terms of type of toys you just have to trial and error a few things.Does your bird prefer something noisy? Something practical it can chew or shred?A foraging toy?I’d suggest you start off with something that is sort of mixed materials like a grass/palm shredder with wood blocks and a bell so it’s intriguing to them. Encourage playfulness with treats. When your bird goes near the toy and looks fixated on it give it a treat. Then huge encouragment high pitched voices with excitement when they use their toy. Just keep trialling toys and see what is most interesting to them! And with him being a young bird he is very curious so work with that curiosity and learning.
The basis of a toy is to combat bordem and keep them happy - and anything that they get excited over is a worthwhile distraction if they need to be home alone for a period of time.
The avifaunal composition of a tropical forest, Kakum Conservation Area under natural regeneration, 20 years after a selective logging operation was studied. The study area was divided into approximately eight equal blocks and four transects each 1km long each was laid in every block. One hundred and thirty-five (135) bird species were recorded from all the forest blocks. Pycnonotidae (15 species) and Sylviidae (eight species) families dominated the entire avian assemblage all the eight blocks. Estimated richness using second order jackknife estimator was 137.14 (SD=1.06) and Shannon-Wienner diversity index at 95% confident limit was 4.63. There was a high similarity index and high species overlap ranging from 0.79-0.91 among the various forest blocks. Twelve feeding guilds were identified; five of the guilds accounted for over 60% of the total avian abundance. The potential of selectively logged forests to protect many species of forest birds after several years of logging can however not be underestimated. Long term avian monitoring program must be incorporated into the park management system.
hey tumblr people, i need your help!
i just acquired 2 parakeets:
- a young grey/violet (gender unknown, if anyone can help)
- a little older blue and white girl (I'm pretty sure she's a girl, once again not to sure)
pictures aren't too great, but if anyone can suggest some good names id really appreciate it!
