These birds consist primarily of Finches, and I see their day to day struggle to survive. I witnessed babies in a nest be devoured by a Bluejay, as both parents were out getting food for their babies. Only the father had been getting food priorly, however the babies were big and about ...
You can walk through at your own pace and will take you anywhere between 30 and 90 minutes but you get an insight into the Galapagos Islands, yes ALL of it: How they were formed, where the volcanoes are, the differences between the famous Darwin finches (fun fact, he didn’t study the...
You are familiar with the adaptive radiation of Darwin's finches that resulted in species with different beak shapes. But did you know that this affected their songs as well? Larger-beaked species have simpler songs as their muscles simply cannot move their beaks fast enough to produce the ...
who is the maid of the Finches house and also acts as a mother towards the kids. She is african american, but she is treated very fairly and is paid. It’s almost as if she’s a part of the family. 3. The Cunninghams philosophy is very straight forward. If you don’t have somet...

Simply put, growing rosemary indoors for the long haul can be a bit of a crapshoot. I’ve only grown it in the house for 2-month periods during the holiday season. You want to make sure it is receiving strong natural light, in other words a high light exposure, for most of the day...
Observe the behavior of your finches daily. Finches will begin to breed at around 11 weeks if allowed to, and you'll notice your male finches begin mating rituals to persuade the female to participate. Depending on the type of finch, the mating behavior can range from singing to elaborate ...
It was warm when we left the house... “Why don't we just have a fire in the backyard? Then we could sleep in our bed afterward,” Eric suggested. I shrugged, trying to come up with a good reason to sleep on the cold, hard ground instead of our nice warm bed. Recalling a Face...
s house. “It’s not going to get done if we don’t do it.” Although I had a legitimate excuse to beg off, I also knew that if we didn’t get started, I would find another reason to postpone this very unwanted chore. I loaded up on Alka-Seltzer Plus, dressed warmly and slept...
One definitive study by Beason and Semm [253] demonstrated that the common cell phone frequency (900-MHz carrier frequency, modulated at 217 Hz) at nonthermal intensities, produced firing in several types of nervous system neurons in Zebra Finches (Taeniopygia guttate). Brain neurons of irradiated...
