One Woman-One Pelican
This post is about one woman in Mobile, Alabama named Patti Hoppe and one Pelican she befriended and named Bo-Bo. I like this lady. Perhaps I see a little of myself in her, I don’t know. But I do know what she did for this injured bird is the same thing that I probably would [...]
Birds Migrate Toward Gulf Mess
As it has been for untold numbers of years birds migrate toward warmer climates during winter. You have probably seen flocks of birds and heard people say they are going south for the winter. Of course, the opposite is true in the spring as millions of birds flock to the north. All along the migration [...]
How Oiled Birds are Cleaned
The photo to the left is of a Brown Pelican which is the Louisiana state bird. Sadly, its nesting grounds are already full of oil and many of these birds have died. The oil geyser that is spewing crude among other things into the Gulf of Mexico most certainly is an environmental disaster of great [...]
Drunken Parrots?
What would you do if you were accustomed to seeing parrots flying around free, but then you saw them suddenly start falling out of trees and even from the sky as they flew? I think I know the answer. Like any other animal lover you would rescue the parrot by capturing it. Then you would [...]
Its The Weekend! Animal Style
While I was watching the video I already posted today, I ran across this. It is penguins again. This time with a lazy Polar Bear. What funny birds and what beautiful bears. Seriously , could anything be more fun than just observing our animal friends as they unabashedly go about enjoying life and their environment? [...]
A Very Lucky Penguin, Indeed!
I believe animals are smart. I have witnessed dogs, cats and birds doing things that prove their intelligence. But even though I believe in my animal friends brain capacity, they never cease to amaze me. I love it every time another member of the animal kingdom shows off just how clever they are. That is [...]
Tell Obama-Stop Offshore Drilling
We are now witnessing a horrific environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It really appears the greed and environmental incompetence of big corporations has finally resulted in the worst possible of all scenarios. One of the worst things about all of this, besides the loss of beaches, wild areas, bayous and wildlife is the [...]
Endangered and Rare at Risk
I thought all of you might like to see just how many animals and birds are actually in danger due to the oil leak in the Gulf. The list is so long, its better to go there than put it up here on fluffy feet. Please note when you are reading the list the number [...]
Gulf Oil Spill Threatens 400 Species
Anyone who has paid any attention whatsoever to what is happening in our world for the past week is aware that an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico blew up in a tremendous explosion. The platform then sank last Thursday. That day just happened to be Earth Day 2010 and the fortieth anniversary of [...]
Add Your Name to a Kite
This is an absolutely wonderful thing. It comes from our friends at the Alaska Wilderness League. I must say they have outdone themselves with a novel way to bring attention to the Arctic National Refuge and our fight to keep it safe. Birds from the Arctic National Refuge migrate to all fifty states. So, get [...]
If You Find a Baby Animal
In our part of the country we are still getting snow, but we are warming up slowly to Spring. Personally, it can’t come soon enough for me. I’m tired of being cold and I’m tired of being locked inside. In many parts of the country though, Spring is in the air and warm days are [...]
NJ Man Shoots Pet Parrot
Wow. Just. ….wow. I know pets can be a pain in the seat when you want to do something and they want your attention or want to do something else. I also know that birds, particularly parrots can be loud and at times irritating. But I have never really entertained he idea of shooting [...]
