Disinfecting branches?
Hi, I’m preparing some natural branches for my budgie, but I’ve never disinfected any before and I’m not sure how to do it properly. I know that some people soak branches in bleach, or bake them in the oven but I’d like to avoid those methods if possible. I’m going to disinfect some branches...
semi-idle MBS thoughts... think with me
Hubbs and I want to expand the flock. That is pretty much always a given as a passive desire(always open to taking on a rescue if need be and we are able, plus a more general desire to expand breeding slowly and responsibly), but sort of considering expansion more actively now. My grandmother...
Urgent! Electric heater killed my bird!
Image: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mKnMy+hnL._AC_UY327_FMwebp_QL65_.jpg I don't know where to put this; we like to believe that electric space heaters are safer than gas, or kerosene. But I purchased this heater several years ago, and it had worked just fine. Today I came home to find...

Crows and Chips November 29, 2020
Crows didn't get where they are today by being shy or slow. They take advantage of whatever food they find, where and when they find it. Listener Jerry Campbell told his story of one crow making off with three chips. Be sure to watch the video of another clever crow in Japan -- in Sights […]

Seabirds of St. George Island November 27, 2020
Every year, close to two million birds nest on St. George Island, one of the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea, a couple hundred miles north of the Aleutian chain of Alaska. Murres, kittiwakes, cormorants, fulmars, Horned Puffins, and Parakeet Auklets arrange themselves on the cliffs. Gerrit Vyn

Wishbones and Dinosaurs November 26, 2020
The anatomical structure we call the wishbone was long thought unique to birds. But fossil discoveries of recent decades have shown that some dinosaurs, including the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, and the Velociraptors of ”Jurassic Park,” also had wishbones. And there is now wide consensus among experts

More Eyes and Ears November 25, 2020
A family of dapper Black-capped Chickadees call as they hang upside down, pecking at alder seeds. A wren skulks and buzzes through the underbrush. A petite Downy Woodpecker whinnies nearby. Mixed-species flocks may include a dozen species and more than fifty individuals. More ears and eyes mean

Collecting Murre Eggs November 24, 2020
On St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea, Ivan Melovidov collects speckled murre eggs in the traditional Aleut way, by descending over the edge of a cliff. With a rope tied around his waist he runs along a cliff-face, dodging fulmars, seabirds known for projecting foul-smelling stomach oil with
