Laughing Kookaburra

 

The Life of Animals | Laughing Kookaburra | Laughing Kookaburra is native to the Australian mainland, and has also been introduced in Tasmania, Kangaroo Island and Flinders Island. Laughing Kookaburra is a stocky bird about 45 cm (18 inches) long, with a large head, a prominent brown eyes and Big Bill. Body with a white or cream-colored head with a dark over each eye and slightly above the head brown band. The tail is red-brown rust orange with black stripes and white tips on the feathers. The name "Laughing Kookaburra" means bird "laugh" is used to determine the area between family groups. Bird starts hiccups low laugh, then throws his head back and laughed often several others join in. If a rival tribe is within earshot and replies, the whole family meets before finishing laugh current ring. Hearing kookaburras in full voice is one of the most extraordinary experiences of Australian nature, something the locals can not ignore, and some visitors, unless forewarned, the call can be found surprising


Kookaburra is the theme song of the popular Australian children, Kookaburra. Kookaburras occupy forest land (including forests) released by family groups and their laughter serves the same purpose as other birds called its boundaries. Common prey includes small mammals such as mice and the size of large insects, lizards, small birds and chicks, and most famously, snakes. Small prey is better, but sometimes large kookaburras creatures, including much longer than its body venomous snakes. During mating, the Laughing Kookaburra provided as shown in the behavior as wattlebird. The man then offers his own current captivity, with "oo oo oo" sound. When food is abundant, parents spend more time black chick, so the girls are not able to fight. It is not uncommon for kookaburras snatch food from the hands of the people, without notice, falling away. People often fed pieces of raw meat.

Golden Eagle

 

The Life of Animals | Golden Eagle | The golden eagle is a large raptor dark brown brimmed. Its size is variable, ranging from 66 to 102 cm (26-40 inches) long and has a typical size of 1.8 to 2.34 m (5.9 to 7.7 feet). Smaller subspecies (A. c. Japonensis), with a weight of sexes and 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) 3.25 kg (7.2 lb). In general, the species, the males are about 3.6 kg (7.9 lb) and females are about 5.1 kg (11 lb). Tarsal feathers range from white to dark brown. In addition, some white birds "shoulder" at the top of each shoulder pen tube. Upper wing feathers occasionally as white kittens or birds have no white wings are complete. Most of the others are much smaller birds of prey, including hawks Buteo this. Maybe more like the golden eagle in structure between small prey Buteos generally well below paler. Just a few of the Old World vultures and the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) (among others coexists This eagle birds of prey) are significantly larger, with longer wings and larger prisoners, usually in more uniform color models and often radically different. Compared to the golden eagles Haliaeetus is generally longer tail and the head is significantly lower with broad wings are more or less shaped falcon board.



The eagle Haliaeetus more strongly striated in its juvenile phase, gold has a strong golden brown. Differ from other Aquila eagles in Eurasia is a major problem identification. This identification may be based on the relatively long tail designs in gold or gray and white on the wings and tail. Aquila longer looking darker plumage, a slightly smaller Tawny Eagle (A. rapax) is brighter than the golden eagle. The Imperial Oriental (A. heliaca) and the Spanish imperial eagle (A. adalberti) are almost as large as the golden eagle Aquila between Eurasia, but are distinguished by their long neck, wings flat flight, shoulder covers white top and usually dark in color. Verreaux's Eagle (A. verreauxii) are similar in size and shape to gold, but are almost entirely black (except for a little white in the main wing) and unknown plumage occur with the eagle in Africa. In the genus Aquila, the wings and tail set Wedge-tailed Eagle (A. audax) Golden Eagle is greater than the average size and length.


The largest number of eagles in the mountain areas is today, with many eagles do most of their hunting and nest in the rocks. Golden Eagles usually nest in abandoned areas where human disturbance is minimal and often avoid crowded places during the year. The golden eagle is one of the most powerful birds of prey in the world. When prey is detected, the eagle catch a line in the hope that his prey or is involved in a car chase faster. If birds can participate in an agile tail-chase (Accipiter like hawks) and occasionally to catch birds in flight. Escape the powerful claws eagle provide water few people can once contact is established. While exhibiting strong local preferences for certain prey, eagles are opportunistic, and especially nearly all small to medium sized animal before, if found. Approximately 200 species of mammals and birds have been recorded as prey eagle. Prey selection largely depends on local availability and abundance of prey. Most victims are almost half the weight of the eagle predator, prey to the normal weight range from 0.5 to 4 kg (01.01 pounds recorded 08.08), although this is sometimes eagles fly with prey equal or slightly heavier than its own weight (4-7 kg (8.8 to 15 pounds). In the North American study, mammals comprised 83.9% of the diet of eagles.


Ungulate species are taken too young. For juvenile eagle, eagle eagles wintering reproduce or those who could not, can prey may be less important than the latter. For those who make their nests and the birds of prey are large enough, which can be left and will be returned Eagles have prey ungulates exceptionally wild in these circumstances weighs 30 kg (66 pounds) or more, as an adult deer ( Capreolus capreolus). Recent cases in which Golden Eagle attack caught on camera rare loot was a great white made an unsuccessful attack on a large adult (Odocoileus virginianus) and included a successful attack on an adult male coyote (Canis latrans). See YouTube videos in Mongolia Golden Eagles work alone or together to wolves and foxes to end if prey can disable this screen already formed. It is a confirmed report of a Golden Eagle pulls a teddy bear brown bear (Ursus arctos).


By mammals, secondary important prey group for eagles are other birds. Galliformes different (largely phasianids and grouse) are the main prey bird. Eagles are predators of birds, it is a healthy adult is not prey. There are records of golden eagles killing and eating other birds of prey such as falcons (Falco rusticolus), Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and Buteo hawks and adults, young and eggs. In one case, a golden eagle in Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) nest fly struck and killed by a falcon swooping father is a setback for the hawks and eagles more often dominant (and a predator can of them). Frequently kleptoparasitize golden eagles or steal prey from other birds of prey. Even though it is not as large as some vultures, eagles tend to be more aggressive and are able to conduct vultures (including body types much larger) and other birds of prey or carrion kill. Interspecific competition occurs regularly with great eagle, Haliaeetus all Eagle (H. albicilla) and Calvo (H. leucocephalus). Although these other eagles (not really related to gold) is generally less active predators, are of comparable size depends on strength and toughness of the eagle and victory in this conflict on the size and disposition of individuals instead of eagles.


Many other types of prey can supply. In Southern Europe, Turkmenistan and other arid turtles are a popular prey. Other prey includes secondary amphibians, fish (consumed regularly in Southeast Asia, but usually removed) and even large insects such as beetles. During the winter months, when recording live prey is scarce, Golden Eagles own carrion. Eagles mate for life in general. In the western United States may designate zones eagle nest 22 to 33 square miles may vary, while preserving the northernmost areas of nesting can be up to 39 square kilometers. Old nests can be 2 meters (3.3 feet) in height, as the eagles repair their nests whenever necessary and whenever. (6.6 feet) in diameter and 1 m If the nest is in a tree, the branches breaking load due to the weight of the nest. Some birds and mammals are too small to be in the interest of large raptor nest often shelter. Their enemies are the perfect size for Golden Eagle prey, and therefore avoid active nests. The independent variable can reach parents 32-80 days after fledging young. Because the Eagles defensive ferocity, the golden eagle predation is rare, even with eggs and small chicks. The only known predators of nests of golden eagles are wolverine and grizzly bears. Although a high percentage of dying in their first year, eagles can survive to adulthood live longer. In some cases, wild eagle and 28-32 years in captivity have survived the age of 46.

Carolina Wren

 

The Life of Animals | Carolina Wren | The head has a striking white eyebrow (eyebrow) and a whitish throat. It is easy to confuse with Bewick's Wren, a parent close enough, it differs in being smaller, but with a longer tail, more gray-brown above and white below. Carolina Wrens and Black-browed Wren House differ in being larger, with a bill culmen decidedly fingers and back them up a notch behind the tip. The Carolina Wren is known for his deep voice, popularly translated as "Tea Kettle". A bird sings usually given several different songs. Only males sing their song box. The songs vary regionally, with birds singing on the northern slower than the southern regions. The Carolina Wren also has a series of calls, including a rapid series of notes in a similar tone to his singing, as a warning and a reprimand serious and strong call to threaten intruders.


The Carolina Wren is sensitive to cold. Because they do not migrate and remain in a territory, the population of North Carolina wrens decrease markedly after harsh winters. The populations of Canada and the northern United States after crash regularly experience harsh winters, high agricultural productivity but soon led to a return to a higher number. In winter, sometimes eat seeds, berries and other small fruits. These birds prefer sites with dense undergrowth, in mixed forests or forests on the outskirts, in a natural or artificial cavity. The nest is a large structure, often dome-shaped, with a small hole in the top. Couples can mate for life.


The eggs are oval, gray-white, reddish-brown freckles. Bald chicks are born blind, and dependent parents to fly. Both males and females feed the young. He farmed for a short time after hatching, the young leave in a warm, down-lined nest while feeding adults.

Blue Jay

 

The Life of Animals | Blue Jay | The Blue Jay measures 22-30 cm (9-12 inches) of bill to tail and weighs 70-100 g (2.5 to 3.5 oz), with a wingspan of 34-43 cm (13-17 inches) weight. If the bird feeds among other jays or resting, the crest is flattened to the head. Its plumage is lavender-blue to mid-blue on top, back, wings and tail, and his face is white. On the sides of the head The primary wing and tail are excluded black, blue and white. As with most other birds blue tones of blue pigments not derived Jay, but is the result of the interference of light due to the internal structure of the feathers, if a blue feather is crushed, the blue disappears because the structure has been destroyed.


The Blue Jay occurs from southern Canada through the Eastern Europe and Central America south to northeast Florida and Texas. Since the ranges of the two species overlap now, C. cristata sometimes hybridize with Steller's Jay.Migration during the day in informal groups from 5 to 250 birds. In all parts of its range Jay's youth are more likely to migrate than adults, but many adults also migrate. Some people jay south 1 year, stay north the next winter, then south again next year. Is probably related to the weather and can cause as abundant food sources in winter, even the northern birds are not necessarily move south.


The Blue Jay takes a variety of habitats within its range, from the pine forests of Florida to the spruce forests of northern Ontario. It is less abundant in the dense forests, prefer mixed forests of oak and beech. He skillfully combined adapted to human activity occurring in parks and residential areas, and can adapt to major deforestation with relative ease if human activity creates other means to get the Blue Jays The Blue Jay is a passerine strong, bold and aggressive. Virtually all raptors sympatric distribution with Blue Jays may precede, especially specialists hunting birds such as hawks Accipiter quickly. May be preceded by several predators, the eggs and young Jay in its infancy, including squirrels, snakes, cats, crows, raccoons, opossums, jays and perhaps many other raptors attack the same adults.


Blue Jays can be beneficial to other species of birds, birds of prey such as hawks and owls, and continue to scream when they see a predator in their territory. Sometimes the identity calls raptors, especially Red-tailed hawks and red shoulders, perhaps to test whether a hawk is nearby, but perhaps also on other birds that may come into contact. Scare competition for food resources It can also be compared to people who approach their nests, perches and if an owl in the vicinity of the nest during the day Jay blue mobs aggressive until he takes a new roost. However, the Blue Jays have also been known to attack and kill other birds. Jays are very territorial birds, and other pursuits of a feeder for an easy meal. In addition, the blue jay attack the nests of other birds, eggs, chicks and nest predation.


Jays, like other corvids, are very inquisitive and intelligent birds considered. Jays have strong black bills for cracking nuts and acorns, often while his feet, and the food uses corn, grains and seeds. Cache Tiles food sometimes, although the extent varies considerably between individuals. Although seemingly controversial in its general behavior, the Blue Jays are often subordinated to other medium-sized birds that visit the feeder. In Florida, the Blue Jays were gray squirrel feeder Eastern Florida Scrub-Jays, Common Grackles and Red-headed Woodpecker, all of which were uncommon to prevent food Jays aggressive dominated. The tiles are not nest very picky. Also suitable nests of other birds of medium size, provided that they are placed in the right places, the American robins' nests are often used by the Toronto Blue Jays, for example. Tiles usually monogamous relationships for life. Both sexes build the nest and raise their young, but not female offspring. The male feeds the female while she incubates the eggs. Juveniles nesting pulls the family and also feeds into the early fall, when the young birds disperse to avoid competition for food in winter.

Great Egret

 

The Life of Animals | Great Egret | The heron Great Egret is a large all-white plumage. It is only slightly smaller than the Great Blue Heron or gray (A. cinerea). Apart from size, the Great Egret from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet can be distinguished, even though the bill may become darker and legs lighter in the breeding season. Men and women are equal in appearance, young, non-breeding adults. Differs Intermediate Egret (Mesophoyx intermedius) through the open mouth, which extends well beyond the back of the eye in the Great Egret, but ends up just behind the eye in the case of Intermediate Egret.


The Great Egret is not normally a vocal bird breeding colonies, but croaking cuk cuk cuk often strong. The Great Egret is partially migratory birds in the northern hemisphere to the southern areas with colder winters. It builds a bulky stick nest.The Great Egret is usually a kind of great success with a large and growing area. In North America, a large number of Grey Heron in the late 19th century killed for their feathers were used to adorn hats. Numbers have since recovered following conservation measures. The offer extends as far north as southern Canada.


In 1953 the Great Egret in flight was a symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part chosen to avoid the slaughter of birds for their feathers. The Great Egret is a species in which the Agreement on the Conservation of migratory waterfowl (AEWA) applies.

California Condor

 

The Life of Animals | California Condor | The Condor adult California is a black uniform, with the exception of the large triangular patches or bands of white at the bottom of the wings. Has mottled gray instead of white on the underside of the wing feathers. As an adaptation for hygiene, the condor head and neck have few feathers, which the skin to the sterilizing effects of dehydration and ultraviolet light at high altitudes exposes. The skin of the head and neck can wash strong. Birds have no real syringeal sounds. To determine the most measurements are taken from birds in captivity, so if there are significant differences in measurements between wild condors in captivity is difficult. California condor is the largest wingspan of a bird in North America. The Crane American White Pelican and scream even more jobs than the condor. Condor are so great.


The middle of the foot Californian condor is very elongated, and the hind legs slightly developed. The condors live in rocky scrub, pine forests and oak savannas. There are two shrines dedicated to this bird, the Sisquoc Condor Sanctuary in the desert of San Rafael and the Sespe Condor Sanctuary in Los Padres National Forest. These areas were chosen for their first condor nesting habitat. When in flight, the movements of the condor are very beautiful. The California condor has a long lifespan, up to 60 years. If it survives to adulthood, the condor has few natural threats other than humans.


The display voice grunts and wheezes limited. Condors bathe frequently and can spend hours each day cleaning their feathers. Condors lead urohidrosis or defecate on their legs to their body temperature to decrease. There is a well developed social structure within large groups of condors, with whistling competition in a hierarchical order by body language, behavior competitions, and a variety of grunts and determine decided. This social hierarchy is displayed especially when the birds to eat, eat of the judgment for the young birds.


In order to attract a potential mate, the male condor performs a display. The display is red head man and puffs its feathers of the neck. Spread your wings and slowly approaches the female. If the woman lowers her head to accept the male, the condors are friends for life. The egg weighs about 280 grams (10 ounces) and measuring 90 to 120 mm (3.5 to 4.75 inches) long and about 67 mm (2.6 inches) wide. If the chick or egg is lost or removed, were the parents "double clutch" or an egg to the place lost. The eggs hatch after 53-60 days of incubation by both parents.


Ready to focus their energies on a new nest Ravens are the main predators of eggs condor threats, while eagles and bears offspring condor potential predators. Unusually, this bird takes different roles in the history of the different tribes. The Wiyot tribe of California say that the condor recreated mankind after Above Old Man wiped humanity with a flood. Condor then seized Ground Squirrel after he fled, but Ground Squirrel managed to cut off the head with Condor Condor paused to take a sip of blood. After Yokut tribe, the condor sometimes ate the moon, so the moon cycle, and its wings caused eclipses. The Chumash tribe of Southern California believed that the condor was once a white bird, but it was black when he flew too close to the fire.


Condor bones have been found in graves as Indians have condor feather headdresses. Cave paintings of condors are discovered. Some tribes ritually slain robes to condors from their pens. Shamans then danced while wearing them reaching the higher and lower spiritual worlds. Some scientists, such as Noel Snyder believes that this process has helped ceremonial robes help the condor decline

They vary in length from 31 cm (12 inches) to 95 cm (37 inches), with a weight of 0.3 kg (11 ounces) to 6.5 kg (14 lbs). Males are larger than females twice as heavy in the capercaillie, the largest member of the family. Grouse feathers have noses. Unlike other Galliformes, birds lack spurs These feed primarily on buds, catkins vegetation, leaves and branches, which normally accounts for over 95 percent of adult food weight. Many forest species in life is characterized by the consumption of large quantities of needles, rejecting most other vertebrates. To digest food facility, grouse are the main crops and gizzards, eating grain to break down food and have developed bowel with blind where symbiotic bacteria digest cellulose.


Prairie species are more social and tundra species (grouse, lagopus) are the most social, forming flocks of up to 100 in the winter. Most species stay within their nesting area year-round, but make small seasonal movements of many individuals ptarmigan (grouse is called in America) and willow (Willow Ptarmigan is called in America) migration hundreds of kilometers. In all but one species (willow ptarmigan), males are polygamous. The displays feature bright colors and combs for men in some species, colorful inflatable bags on the sides of the neck. The female lays a clutch, but can be replaced if lost eggs. The eggs are in the form of chicken eggs is yellow and pale brown hardly stained. Female (and male grouse) are with them and protect them until their first autumn, when they reach their adult weight (except grouse males).



The three tundra species have retained their previous figures. Prairie and forest species have declined significantly due to habitat loss, but popular games Ruffed grouse and capercaillie has benefited conservation. Most grouse species listed by IUCN as "Least Concern" or "near threatened", but prairie chicken major and minor are listed as "vulnerable" and Gunnison Ortega appears as "at risk".

The Guinness Book of Records with a gray parrot who would have lived 72 years in captivity, as the longest lived of the sample species. In 2012 the species was vulnerable to further uplisted. Grey parrots depend on large old trees for the natural caves. Them to nest Studies in Guinea and Guinea-Bissau have found that African gray parrots preferred species of nesting trees are also preferred timber species. There is a positive relationship between the status of the species and the status of primary forests, where forests are declining, so the populations of gray parrots The African gray parrot is listed in Annex II to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).


With exports accounting for more than 350,000 copies from 1994 to 2003, the gray parrot is one of the fastest processed CITES-listed species of birds. This review has resulted in recommended zero export quotas for the states, and to develop a wider CITES decision to regional management plans for the species. In the United States, the importation of wild-caught gray parrots under the laws of the United States Wild Bird Conservation is prohibited 1992nd In the European Union, an EU Directive of 2007 prevents importation of this and other birds caught in the wild for the pet trade.


Unlike other parrots, wild African Greys have documented imitate the calls of several other species. The research of Dr. Irene Pepperberg with gray parrots in captivity, particularly with a bird named Alex, assign the scientific capability, simple human words with meanings and intelligently apply the abstract concepts of shape, color shown, number, zero-sense, etc. Many animals learn Congo African Greys, in their second or third year Timnehs usually speak to speak observed to start earlier. A study published in 2011, led by Dr. Dalila Bovet of Paris West University Nanterre La Défense, showed that African gray parrots could coordinate and cooperate with each other to an extent.

Whistle African Grey Parrots frequently, scream, squeal, click, etc. expect an African Grey owner should, regular deliveries of microwaves, phones, alarm clock, video games and other electronic sounds and water droplets to hear wild birds, and other sound you hear often from the parrot. African gray parrots have the ability to imitate, and between the different voices they hear to distinguish. Their sociability and intelligence can make African Grey Parrots excellent pets. They have a dedicated following among parrot owners. Greys require large cages, containing a varied diet of fresh foods, and plenty of safe and destructible toys. If they are not supplied with these elements Greys quickly develop unpleasant behaviors and can eventually develop health problems (such as feather plucking) which are difficult to eliminate. Even the healthiest, happiest pet African Grey will generate a fair amount of confusion and noise.
