Arara-vermelha
animal species
Image by Digo_Souza
A arara-vermelha (Ara chloroptera) é uma ave psitaciforme, nativa das florestas do Panamá até Santa Catarina, Paraguai e Argentina. A sua alimentação é baseada em sementes, frutas e coquinhos.

A arara-vermelha mede até noventa centímetros de comprimento e pesa até 1,5 quilogramas. Cada postura é composta por ovos de cinco centímetros, incubados por 29 dias.

O ninho dessa arara é feito em ocos de árvores, mas ela também se aproveita de buracos em paredes rochosas para colocar os ovos, os quais são chocados apenas pela fêmea, que fica no ninho. Quem cuida de garantir a alimentação tanto da fêmea como dos filhotes é o macho, que, nessa espécie, é fiel, mantendo a mesma companheira durante a vida inteira.

----------------------------------------------

A scarlet macaw (Ara chloroptera) psitaciforme is a bird, native to the jungles of Panama to Santa Catarina, Paraguay and Argentina. Their power is based on seeds, fruits and coconuts.

The scarlet macaw measures up to three feet long and weigh up to 1.5 kilograms. Each posture is comprised of five centimeters eggs, incubated for 29 days.

The nest is made of this macaw in tree hollows, but it also takes advantage of holes in rock walls to lay eggs, which are incubated by the female only, which is in the nest. Who takes care to ensure the supply of both the female and the male puppies is that, in this species, it is true, with the same partner for a lifetime.
-------------------------------------------------
コンゴウインコ(アラchloroptera)psitaciformeはサンタカタリーナ、パラグアイ、アルゼンチンにパナマのジャングルに自生する鳥です。彼らのパワーは種子、果実、ココナッツに基づいています。

コンゴウインコは長い3フィートまで測定し、1.5キロまで重量を量る。それぞれの姿勢は、29日間インキュベート5センチメートルの卵で構成されています。

巣は木のくぼみにあるこのコンゴウインコで作られ、それはまた、巣の中にある、唯一の女性でインキュベートされる卵を産むために岩壁に穴を活用しています。誰がメスとオスの子犬の両方の供給を確保するために世話をすると、この種では、それは寿命のために同じパートナーと、真である、ということです。

Sterne naine
animal species
Image by Max.Bth
Une Sterne naine (Sterna albifrons) dans le ciel de Gruissan (11). Elle était en train de pêcher de la manière la plus caractéristique qui soit : elle bat des ailes sans discontinuité au dessus d'un bas fond, cherche sa cible, fait un vol stationnaire d'une ou deux secondes avant de plonger la tête la première dans l'eau. Elle réapparait très peu de temps après, souvent avec son butin dans le bec !

On la nomme parfois "Hirondelle des mers" pour la ressemblance de sa silhouette avec une hirondelle (petite taille, queue de la même forme). Cette espèce hiverne en Afrique.

----------------------------
(en) A Little Tern ( Sterna albifrons ) in the Gruissan (11) sky. She was engaged in fishing in a manner that is more characteristic : it flutters seamless above a low background, seeks its target, made a hover one or two seconds before diving head first in the water. It disappear again very shortly after, often with his loot in the beak!

It is sometimes called "Hirondelle des mers" for the likeness of its silhouette with the latter (small size and tail of the same form). This species wintering in Africa.

Image by quadrapop
people on several email lists I'm on have been discussing how to store toys and education material. Here is how we do it...

this is just a detail of a whole 2 walls worth of shelving in our livingroom.

We have been collecting these plastic boxes (and the rest elsewhere in the house) for the last 5 years and only buy them when on special. I finally got around to getting shelving this year - now I have some idea of the amount and size of our toy collection. These shelves are ikea 'gorm' and we have left them unsealed - at some point I expect we will sand them and seal or paint, but that will be years away I feel.

I like talking to the animals. Better watch out for the lions though!

Green Trail 3.7km
Discover one of London's most famous green spaces, the beautiful Regent's Park.

27 July - 9 September
Take a stroll along some of London’s most scenic streets with our free Discovery Trails. We’ve put together six unique colour-coded walking routes across the historic city centre that will take you on a journey of discovery to the greatest sights and sounds of London. Keep an eye out for official Games mascots Mandeville and Wenlock, who’ll be bringing the trails to life and highlighting some great photo opportunities. Each will be individually designed, animating the routes in a unique way that captures the spirit of London. Why not try all of the trails and see if you can get a snapshot on camera?
The 84 official Wenlock and Mandeville sculptures will be in place for two months from mid July to the end of the Paralympics and are part of the Mayor of London Presents programs of free cultural events and attractions being staged across the capital to celebrate the Games.
Mounted on concrete plinths, each fibreglass figure will be 2.3 metres high and weigh one tonne. They have been decorated by 22 designers to reflect their surroundings.
The £490,000 scheme is being promoted by Mayor Boris Johnson, who has overseen similar public art events, including life-sized baby elephants and Fabergé eggs mounted on plinths around the capital.

Hi all you animal lovers.

This is pretty simple... Please tell ten people to each tell a further ten today!
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals for free'.
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Please pass it along. www.theanimalrescuesite.com/
Please tell 10 people!!

¿Farm or sanctuary?
animal abuse
Image by ThinkVegan
Though at first sight it may seem as if there weren't to many differences between a farm and a sanctuary, the truth is that the only similarity between these places is that in them live non-human animals, because in reality the differences are fundamental.

At farms, non human animals (be them intensive or extensive farms) are seen as slaves, and this is exactly how they are treated. They are reared for human use, bought or/and sold, separated from their families, used and abused, hurt and finally murdered to be eaten, or assassinated when there owner considers them to be no longer "productive".
Farms exist because some humans consider non-human animals as “useful” tools to benefit from.

At sanctuaries, non human animals are considered human's equals, and this is exactly how they are treated, they were at some point rescued from some situation that threatened there interests and from then on treated fairly, allowed to live happy and peaceful lives, nurtured, taken care of, and there death pitied.

Sanctuaries exist because some humans consider other animals their equals, and dedicate there live to protecting them.

www.thinkvegan.net

Aunque a primera vista pudiera parecer que no hay demasiadas diferencias entre algunas granjas y un santuario, lo cierto es que la única similitud que hay entre estos lugares es que en ellos viven animales no humanos, porque lo cierto es que las diferencias son fundamentales.

En las granjas (sean extensivas o intensivas) viven individuos vistos como esclavas/os, y es exactamente de esta forma como se les trata. Se les cría, compra, vende, separa de sus familias, utiliza, hace daño, y finalmente cuando sus “dueñas/os” consideran oportuno se les asesina para comerles o por su falta de "productividad".
En una granja hay animales no humanos porque su explotación le resulta “útiles” para algún humana/o.

En un Santuario viven individuos vistos como iguales, y es exactamente de esta forma como se les trata. Después de ser rescatados de alguna situación que amenazaba sus intereses, se les tiene en cuenta de forma justa, se les deja vivir una vida tranquila y feliz, cuida, quiere y llora su muerte.
En un santuario hay animales no humanos porque hay quienes consideran a los demás animales sus iguales y dedican sus vidas a protegerles.

This is one of the many wonderful cats you will find at the Orange County Animal Shelter. Many of the cats are sent to the adoption center of various PetsMart stores, but you can also come to the shelter to meet them.

You can find info on adoption hours and costs at: www.petfinder.com/shelters/orange.html

Cats are spayed/neutered, negative on leukemia and FIV and current on their vet work.

If you want a cat to be a friend to your current pet, wonderful! If you don't have any other cats at home, consider adopting a pair so they have company.

Orange County Shelter cats are adopted as indoor cats.

Already have a full house? What about blogging about our wonderful shelter cats to help get them homes? Thanks!
