http://birdloversonly.blogspot.com/

Extractions: Dedicated to Avian Rescue, Adoption, and Education Echinacea is also called the purple coneflower and has been used as an immune booster in all animals, including birds, for a very long time. It is not one of the most potent immune stimulants, but it is very safe. It primarily boosts the part of the immune system used to fight viral infections, and it is most effective in the early stages of infections. Posted by Bird Lovers Only Rescue at 10:38 PM Labels: Educational Healthy birds are active for most of every day as they go about normal activities. When we choose a bird as a companion, we need to supply plenty of opportunities for stimulating physical and emotional activity that suits the unique needs of the individual bird. Because we control their environment, it's up to us to provide the opportunity for action.

http://www.for-the-birds.info/

Extractions: -Chinese Proverb The songs of birds are truly some of the most delightful sounds I can think of, and few things are as lovely as watching birds flitter and perch around my garden. Thats what perked my interest in attracting birds, the sheer and simple beauty of them. Here we aim to give you the best information for attracting the types of birds you want. For instance, did you know that different types of seed will attract different types of birds? And different kinds of houses will attract different species as well? Do you want certain kinds of birds or a wide variety? This will depend on the types of supplies you put out and where you put them. Along with finding out about what different birds prefer, you'll find much on how to attract them to your home with lovely feeders, birdbaths, houses, etc., and much on the joys of having them around. Our articles will point you to some of the best supplies for creating a haven for the birds around your home. Youll also find numerous features on different products for the birds, information on attracting birds, as well as literary quotes on the joys that our aviary friends bring us sprinkled throughout. I hope you enjoy and find some useful items and/or information along the way.
An Introduction To The Amazing World Of Birds
An introduction to the website The Amazing World of birds with loads of fascinating avian facts.
http://www.earthlife.net/birds/intro.html

Extractions: Welcome to the beautiful, the wonderful, the truly amazing world of birds Birds are truly beautiful creatures, they are also fascinating and all around us, roosting and nesting on our buildings and feeding in our gardens and refuse dumps, they are easy to find and fun to observe. Birds are probably the most beloved group of wild animals on the planet. Their ubiquitous presence, colourful form, intelligent actions and cheeky mannerisms endear them to us all. Birds are easy to love. The existence of societies like the National Audubon Society of America with 550 000 members and the RSPB , originally of the UK, with over 1,000,000 members are a testament to how popular birds are. There are about 9 703 species of birds divided up into 23 orders, 142 families and 2 057 genera (Sibley and Monroe 1992). Birds can be found on all major land masses from the poles to the tropics as well as in or over all our seas and oceans and their accompanying islands. The total number of birds on the planet is very difficult to estimate because their populations fluctuate seasonally, but scientists have suggested that there may be between 100,000 and 200,000 million adult or near adult birds on the planet at any one time. Of these the most common or populous wild bird in the world is the Red-billed Quelea (
Birds Of Everglades National Park
birds are some of the most colorful and interesting creatures that share our world. The name Everglades has always been associated with birds.
http://www.nps.gov/ever/ed/resources/edbirds.htm

Extractions: E V E R G L A D E S N A T I O N A L P A R K The name "Everglades" has always been associated with birds. Birds are some of the most colorful and interesting creatures that share our world. The name "Everglades" has always been associated with birds. The warm, shallow, and vast Everglades "river" attracted mainly wading birds to this region for thousands of years. In the 1800's, the well-known naturalist and artist, John James Audubon, wrote during a visit to south Florida, "We observed great flocks of wading birds flying overhead toward their evening roosts .... They appeared in such numbers to actually block out the light from the sun for some time." In Everglades National Park, over 350 different species of birds have been sighted. There are many different ways to identify one group of birds from another. In this article, the terms wading birds, land birds, and birds of prey will be used. Wading Birds Sixteen different species of wading birds live in the Everglades. All have long legs for wading into the water to catch their food. The white ibis is the most common wading bird found here.

Print in Costa Rica by Christopher Baker ; created 1995 In William Henry Hudson's Green Mansions, his great romantic novel of the American tropics, the young hero Abel is lured into the jungle by the mysterious call of an unseen bird. So stirred is he by the siren song that he follows the haunting sound deeper and deeper into the forest until he eventually discovers the source: a lovely, half-wild girl called Rima, who has learned to mimic the sounds of the birds. The birdlife of Costa Rica is so rich and so variedand often so elusivethat at times it seems as if Rima herself is calling. With approximately 850 recorded bird species, the country boasts one-tenth of the world's total. More than 630 are resident species; the remainder are occasionals who fly in for the winter. Birds that have all but disappeared in other areas still find tenuous safety in protected lands in Costa Rica, though many species face extinction due to deforestation. The nation offers hope for such rare jewels of the bird world as the quetzal and the scarlet macaw, both endangered species yet commonly seen in protected reserves.
