Bird's intelligence

Once I had a pair of parakeets
like this (photo from this site)
The male was blue, the female was white. She was not the most beautiful of all, I don't know why I bought this colour. As colours I like Arlekinos yellow and green. But that time I had these two.

After some time you could find the female always flying in the room, because she learned to open the hook of her cage. So I had to close them better when I was at work.

One day I turn home and see the female lying on the floor of her cage on the skin with legs in air. Some moments later, when I decide she is dead, she turns and flys on the top of the cage. There she takes the wire with her claws and drives down hanginig on the claws till she touches the floor of the cage with her skin. Remains there for some moments and then repeat this game.

My friend had 2 pairs of parakeets in the same great cage. Every pair had a house and both had their youngs. But one female wanted the husband of other female.

At first she went in their house when they did not stay there and every day killed one of their youngs. Then she began to beat the other female, and my friends had to separate them befor she kills this female too. The other male was not agressive. So at the end the first female began to live in the house of her rival with the male of the rival. And he accepted her and had youngs with her as nothing was happend.

An aunt and oncle of my mother lived alone and had parakeets one at the time. They treated them so as those were little children. They spoke with parakeets every time they could and it meens fast all day. They even read them stories and poems for children ecc. The parakeets liked it very much and told you these stories and poems without errors! More! They commented everything you did and everytime with right words.

Now from my stories to scientific research:
Crows prove they are no birdbrains (an article)

Here is the video of the story you read




And video that show us HOW they do it.
Enjoy.

Some new (for me) cat-photos

Maybe I'm not right, but I'm sure, cats -all - are the top of the evolution.

I like dogs very much, they are best friends, they are the shoulder you can feel always nearby. Cats are something different. They are kings. They need you, they like stability, they are attached to you and to all in the house, but they want never show it.

If you want to have complet family, you need both, dog and cat.

There was once a question in Yahoo!Answers: can animals speak with us? can they smile or explain their emotions? I think, everybody can understand emotions of the animals even if we see photos of them. I had dogs, cats, parrots, fishes, pigeons and hen in my life. If you watch them attentively, you understand, they can speak and have the same our emotions. They are all different and understand other species of animals. My dogs could communicate even if they couldn't see one another and were distant about 50 -100 meters from them.

I think, we, human beings, have choosed the way of more and more limited specialization to create more comfortable life for us. With this we leave our nature, our ancestral capacities to see, to hear, to feel.

would it make the difference?

Animal Aid videos
We have to eat meat. We have to breed animals. What I don't understand: why we have to treat them in this way?

I don't say:we have to be vegetarians. The best explanation of this I heared from Namkhai Norbu. He said: have you ever seen what do paesants to cultivate rise? How many animals they kill when they hoe the field? And those that were not killed from the paesant, kill birds and other animals. And then, later, till this rise come to you and you eat it? Why you close your eyes on this if you don't want that animals are killed for your meal?

I can't change the world. I don't want to do it. Maybe the only thing I can to do is to give the best life to the animals that live with me and that I meet.

A month ago one dog came to us. It was a breton. Mixed breton, I think. He was attracted by our female. We gave him to eat and my husband wanted to find a home for him, but he looked for his master. Some days after a mixed setter female came to us. It was a pity to see her. She was very happy to find us, but we have many animals and can't take others. We gave her to eat for some days, cured the wound on the feet, put the medicine for fleas and... brought her near the municipal dog kennel. My husband went there two days befor to ask them about her, but the answer was no.

And the breton is running here and there else. We see him sometimes. We think, he doesn't eat and seems to be more dead as alive, but he wants to find his master. Only him.

When one relative came to us to see the setter, he told us: hunters don't want to take those dogs all year long, they leave them when the hunting period finish.

What can I say? I'll tell you an other story form those hundreds of stories we see here every year.
One year there was an old dog abandoned in our street. He was fat and didn't feel good. Maybe his masters didn't want to kill him, but didn't want to wait for his death in their house. Imagin, this old dog waited for his family 6 months on the same place. He was sure they will turn back to look for him. The residents brought him sometimes to eat and water, but that summer was too hot...

The cat that lives with us was afraid of everything when she came to us. It was clear, persons where she lived, beat her with everything they could. Now she likes to be treated as a "human being". She knows us better as we know ourselves. We never had cats. Now even my husband adore to "communicate" with her.

About wolves

It can come realy from psychological roots, the fear of our plunderers, but I like wolves very much. I read many books about them. There are very beautiful stories written by Chinghiz Aitmatov I think. Yes,"Плаха", The Scaffold . The story that makes you cry. Something incredible, I say you. If you have never read it, you must. Even if you had never read one word in your life.

Now, today I find informations in internet, not in books and I have found some beautiful photos and sites about the wolves.Here I offer you what I found. Enjoy them together with me.
