Re: Have you ever touched a wild animal?
Yesterday we found a fledging gold finch. After a web search we found that it should still be dependent in its mother for another two weeks. I held it earlier and let it sit on my belly while I was lying down. In the end it succumbed to eternal injuries from before we found. I had my mom who had bee...

Re: WolfQuest Update
In my opinion NO goals have been met. What have kids learned from this. Wolves eat the lie down, sit down, they find a mate, the hunt, pups are born, pups have predators, and... nothing else. I was psyched to here about 2.5 but when it arrived... I died from boredom, uninstalled the game, and became...

Re: Favorite Breed of Bird/General Bird Discussion
I'm not sure if I currently have a "favorite" bird but there are certain birds that never cease to amaze me. Be it the amazing acrobatics of a swallow, the pure beauty of the Bald eagle, or the mesmerizing sight and sound of the owl. In fact I often have swallow nests just outside my bedroom window ...

Seen anything rare or uncommon birds in your area?
Guess What! I just got a chance to hear a really rare bird. I took the bus home from school today as always. I still have to walk from my bus stop to my house though. I got to my house and reached for the door handle when I was stoped by an odd bird call. One I have never heard before. Once inside I...

Re: Endangered Animals
No offense to anyone who hunts, but I think that it's sick and wrong. I mean, we have meat in the store that's perfectly good, why in the world would u want to catch your own? For all we know, the animal you shot could have a family to look after, and somewhere out their it's baby could b waiting, ...
