Bad Habits Of Scarlet Macaws
Scarlet macaws originally come from South and Central America and are large colorful parrots that can grow to anything from 30 to 35 inches in length at maturity. Like their name implies, they are predominantly a bright red color with blue wing feathers and splashes of blue and yellow on the rest of their feathers.
Like all other macaws, scarlet macaws are intelligent and therefore very quick at learning different tricks. They are natural performers and need daily interaction or else they quickly become bored. If you don't let your macaw out of its cage on at least a daily basis, they can become aggressive and nippy or develop bad and harmful habits. Bad habits that can be cultivated without proper training and socialization include feather

    The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner explores evolution through the most famous examples in history—the finches of the Galápagos Islands. Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the process of evolution are applied directly to what scientists refer to as Darwin’s Finches. Weiner follows scientists Peter and Rosemary Grant as they study the finches in real time on the Galápagos. Years of previous work, study and data is collected and analyzed. Different species of animals are observed and explained throughout history. The Grants have one goal, and that is to find the origin of the species, how organisms first began. They find that it really is about the “survival of the fittest” and who nature selects to thrive and produce generations far greater than the last.…

    Have you ever had a second thought of what is going on inside the brains of Crows and Ravens? You probably associate these animals with words such as pests, annoying or even filthy, but that's not necessarily true. Everyday we infer things by making predictions or assumptions based on clues and our judgements. This can be done by searching for clues such as actions, attitude, tone, or body language. These examples are used to help the reader comprehend the author's attitude towards their subject. Terry Krautwurst, author of “Brain Birds: Amazing Crows and Ravens” and David Shaw author of “A Soft Spot for Crows”, both display a positive attitude towards crows and ravens by using complementary language and focusing on the intellectual abilities…

    Both characters, Doodle and the scarlet ibis, experience the problem of being peculiar. The author illustrates Doodle’s struggles in life when Brother recalls the time, “When he was two, if you laid him on his stomach, he began to move, straining terribly. The doctor said with his weak heart, the strain would probably kill him...”(Hurst 455). A cripple from birth, Doodle struggles to survive the moment he is conceived. His physical disabilities make him different from most other kids and throw him into a minority. The scarlet ibis suffers a similar fate as well which is shown when Brother narrates, “‘It’s a scarlet ibis,’ [Father] said, pointing to a picture. ‘It lives in the tropics --- South America to Florida” (491). The scarlet ibis is different from the other birds in North Carolina because it does not belong there. This sense of not being accepted by the outside world is shared by Doodle who empathizes with the bird.…

    Primates are one of the most interesting mammals on earth, not only because of their complex social structures, but because they hold so many similar characteristics to humans. Primates are often cited as our closest living relatives and on two separate occasions I observed four separate species of primates at the San Diego Zoo that can justify their use of their physical characteristics and behaviors that may be similar as well as different to the other primates and ours.…

    In the essay, "The Bothersome Beauty of Pigeons," Bruce Ballenger initially compares the street vendors in one of Florence's piazzas to the urban pigeons we are so familiar with. He elogently describes the vendors as marvelous spectacles who add culture and life to urban areas. While they are considered a neusance to a lot of people, they also hold a certain beauty. They are much like the pigeons, and there seems to be a war against both the illegal street vendors and the city pigeon. It is a war where there are no hearts involved. The police almost turn a blind eye toward the illegal act of vending without a liscense, much like the average person tolerates the pigeon. I think that Ballenger's main idea for his essay is exploring the paradoxical feelings that we can get from things that are bothersome yet beautiful, specifically the pigeon. Ballenger might have originally asked himself, Why, if pigeons are such a neusance, are people still so facinated and enchanted by the creatures?…
