Titmouse Rescued by Bird Buddy

I did not know that birds helped one another like this. One flew into a window and was knocked out and the other helped him. The titmouse on the bottom was not moving and I thought that the one on top was attacking it. But as soon as the hurt one moved it stopped and it looks like they had a bit of a talk and a thank you afterward. There were other birds of this species around at the time. It only takes one individual to take action and a life can be saved. Man needs to do this more.

It was cold out but from experience I don't think that there would have been any risk to the bird that hit the window. I was getting ready to go outside and pick him up until he was ready to fly again. Needless to say not only did the rescue bird save his buddy but he saved me having to put a coat on. 

Keep it safe for our feathered friends around your windows

Animal Fans

Animal Fans

I came across the most interesting and fun item that is sure to make those upcoming hot days of summer a breeze. These adorable fans are not limited to just one type of animal. I found everything from birds and pets to sea critters and wild animals. There are also pretty pulls for the end of your ceiling fan chain of different animals.I came across the most interesting and fun item that is sure to make those upcoming hot days of summer a breeze.

Cross River Gorilla

STATUS

Critically Endangered

POPULATION

200 to 300 individuals

SCIENTIFIC NAME

Gorilla gorilla diehli

HEIGHT

4 to 5 ½ feet when standing on two feet

WEIGHT

up to 440 pounds

from WWF

The population risks inbreeding and a loss of genetic diversity because there are so few Cross River gorillas and they live in groups that interact infrequently if at all.

Where these endangered animals live it is illegal to hunt Gorillas but the wildlife laws are lax. The killing of just one of the few remaining can be detrimental in this already small population.

Threats

FISHERIES BYCATCH

Hawksbills are particularly susceptible to entanglement in gill nets and accidental capture on fishing hooks. Marine turtles need to reach the surface to breathe, and therefore many drown once caught. Known as bycatch, this is a serious threat to hawksbill turtles. As fishing activity expands, this threat is more of a problem.

ILLEGAL TRADE
