my big red parrot gets real upset with the male cardinals at the window feeder this time of year, and they get upset with her. just in the spring, thank goodness.

A few years ago, we had some bluebirds that would sit on the side mirrors of our F150 & stare at themselves. For a long time. They left their marks down the doors to show us how long they visited. My husband finally put some of his old white socks over the mirrors to foil them. Birds are funny. And th...

lordy, I look at the website and I want them all! Dogs and cats! I'd love another cat, but my cat insists he is the only/top billing here.
Best of luck in finding them a new home.

Dear Friends, Acquaintances, Animal Lovers, and Chat List Readers,
 
Several weeks ago, Mike and I agreed to foster parent 2 previously feral cats who had been relinquished to C.A.R.E. (Chatham Animal Rescue and Education). At the time all of their cat foster homes were full. (I think they still are.)...

Every year, a pair of bluebirds nests in the martin house we erected long ago to attract Purple Martins. The martins never came, but the bluebirds love the accomodations. And a pair is actively at work as I type, with the female doing most of the nest-building.

That's largely due to the fact that the ...

I am looking for a friend who is need of hay, preferably orchard grass. There was a recent posting on the Chatlist but I must have deleted it, anyone have info?

Update:  We found him a new home, which seems to be wonderful!

is the conure still available? My husband has wanted a bird of his own, since the current Quaker I have is definately all mine. his birthday's coming up, so I thought I'd ask.

Two hawks have recently taken interest in a small pond that's about 50ft from our front door.  They like to hang out/perch in a small maple tree that overlooks the water.  The amazing thing is that both Hawks show no fear of me or my wife as both of us have gotten to within 10ft of them- we've taken c...

I doubt it will, unless the tree goes down, and maples are sturdy. if it does, she can lay more. the hawks have been busy at my place, too.

a beautiful, young female cardinal on my porch today was glowing, fluffed, but absolutely glowing. I looked around, under the heavy cloud layer. where was the glow coming from? she glowed.

then she moved to the feeder. the young male, her new beau,  moved up behind her, while she visited for a snack, ...

I watched one of my red-shouldered hawks pounce on something on the floodplain -- an everyday occurrence. However, instead of flying to a tree to devour its catch, it flew up to a tree, paused to get a better grip, flew to another tree a few yards away, paused, and repeated this pattern as it slowly m...

The birds around my home were ready to shake off the snow, cold and cloudy days. Sun popped out and so did they, just singing up a storm! Flitting around amongst the trees, "discussing" nesting sites and plans for a family. That is the sort of population explosion I am looking forward to!
There were ...

Thanks all!  Dino/Butkus/Jack/Mr. Wiggles/Goofball snuck out of Josh & Elise's house late yesterday afternoon and apparently went home.  They have a doggie door that  is supposed to opened only by humans but Dino is smart.

Do his humans have a fence for him?  Are they perhaps elderly and/or just not ...
