Stress and The City

You may think this is an odd thing to sway a person in the all important Where Shall I House Myself When I’m lder question but cut me some slack. Remember how you used to be able to buy bird seed and then you could feed the pigeons? And then half of them used to come and land on you?And this was before bird flu animal rights and germophobia?kay well we did this smack bang in the middle of the city and quite frankly it was Seriously Cool. It was like being a pigeon whisperer and I remember thinking that if I lived in the city I would get to do this do this all the time! Now this was not in fact an accurate representation of city life but that’s okay. The decision was made and I’m now a five-year city dweller (badge and everything) points for me. Haven’t fed many pigeons lately but still I feel confident in calling myself a card carrying member of the Big Little City. I haven’t been given the key to the gate yet though but I’m holding onto to hope.

How should feral cats be managed?

However despite the large number of feral cats humans have caused a much bigger impact on bird populations. Humans are the only species who have been documented to actually cause the extinction of another species. We have hunted Passenger Pigeons and Dodos into extinction. The use of pesticides almost caused the extinction of the Bald Eagle our national bird. However habitat destruction is the leading cause of bird population decline. As birds struggle to find places to eat live and rear their young humans continue to destroy forests meadows and wetlands. While it is true that feral cat populations should be managed eliminating all feral cats would not stop the decline of bird populations.

Elimar Pigeon Services
Graham was not a happy chap with his results some two years back so decided to give up the secretary ship and devote more time to his birds and clearly it has paid off. A North Rd fancier; namely Nigel Line lives almost opposite Graham in Higham Ferrers and together at Blackpool in 2007 attending an auction Graham reports he suffered severe bruising of the ribs every time Nigel dug him and said put your hand up. The Sire and Dam of the MNFC bird (not yet named incidentally) along with one other pigeon were purchased from Soderlund & Maddison who hail from the North East for the princely sum of £30 each. The Alencon pigeon is from this pairing and is raced to the bottom of the garden loft on full widowhood. Picture included of both Graham beside his loft and the 2nd pen MNFC Alencon winner.

inc]–> ITHACA — In a hanging flower basket…an old boot…a garage shelf…or under a bridge…birds build nests in the strangest places! That’s the theme for the newest environmental challenge from the Celebrate Urban Birds project: Funky Nests in Funky Places!Celebrate Urban Birds is a free year-round citizen-science project from the Cornell Lab of rnithology focused on birds in neighborhood settings. For the Funky Nests in Funky Places challenge participants may take photos do a painting write a story or shoot a video showing a bird’s nest built in some out-of-the-way or out-of-this-world place. Participants should be sure to avoid touching nests or disturbing the birds. “This one’s going to be fun” says project leader Karen Purcell. “We receive hundreds of entries for each of our challenges and I can’t wait to see what people send this time and where birds have chosen to build their funky nests!”.
