Birds

A very prim and proper British pet parrot named Nigel has been reunited with his owner after disappearing four years ago.

Budgies are smart, make super pets, and great companions if you have the time for moderate attention and care.

I am sitting here freezing my feathers off and making plans for spring. I'm going to poop on that darn groundhog the first chance I get! 

During the colder months aircraft must be treated with chemical deicers to keep ice from building up on a plane's wings and fuselage. Ice can cause an aircraft to crash. Birds can have something of the same problem. Earlier this month an American Bald Eagle had to be rescued from Lake Michigan after landing and then becoming grounded by an 8 pound ball of ice that formed on its feathers.

You know how it goes at the end of a busy day -- you just want to hang with your friends and relax. It seems to exist across species. You just never thought that seals and seagulls would just hang out together.

Love is for the birds, especially when you love birds. This beautiful photo shows the love of birds from cardinals to bluebirds.

This can take as little as 15 minutes of your time this weekend, and you'll be helping ornithologists with their estimates of bird populations and migration patterns. It's a fun project!

Well howler 'bout that? These ten animals make sounds so distinctive their calls, growls, chirps and yowls became the names they're now known as.
