Chickens are Dumb, Right?
Chickens are dumb, right? Think again. My chickens not only answer to their names but they have an innate sense of when they can escape their yard to forage in the garden. Indeed, White-tail has a habit of waiting for the right moment to nip into the laundry, up the stairs, and into the kitchen… not waiting for us to bring scraps out.

Corncrake
During a camping holiday in the Yorkshire Dales of Northern England, we heard a strange noise as twilight was starting to fall late most evenings (this was in mid-June). At first, we simply imagined that a fellow camper was blowing up an airbed using a pump of some kind, as there was a repeated sound that could have been somebody giving three quick pumps. But why only three, never more and never fewer?

Gannet
The gannet (Sula bassana, or Morus bassanus) is a truly remarkable bird, for several reasons. It is the largest seabird indigenous to the British Isles, at up to 95 centimetres (37 inches) in length, and this is where up to 70% of the world’s population of gannets breed. The gannet is not the same species as the Cape gannet (Morus capensis), although they do have many features in common.

Green woodpecker
The green woodpecker (Picus viridis) is easily the largest of the three species of woodpecker that breed in the United Kingdom. They are not always easy to see, partly because of their green colouring but also because they have a habit of moving out of sight when they become aware of people in the vicinity.

Crows ARE Interesting, Actually.
I can sing like a bird if you ask me to. That is, if the bird is a crow. I don't know how I learned to do that, but I'm really good at it and I'm very proud of that. When I learned that I could caw just like a crow, I felt somehow connected to these birds. Ridiculous, I know, but it led me to the life changing realization that these are my favorite birds.

Why Lovebirds Shred Paper
And, yes, to answer your question about the model upfront, male Lovebirds shred paper too. My Peach-faced Lovebird could be a male. I’m just guessing. Since I don’t intend to breed her, I don’t need to know for sure.
