Research Paper On Lineolated Parakeets

The Congo African Grey parrots are a wonderful breed of bird. They are commonly between 26 to 32 cm in length and usually around 450g. They are grey in colour, with a solid black beak, and a red tail. The average lifespan for a Congo African Grey parrot is 50 years old, though they have been know to live to around 80 years old.

Hummingbirds live only in the Americas and three species occur in Florida. The ruby-throated hummingbird is by far the most common hummer in our state. This feathered jewel is about 3 inches long and weighs as little as a penny (¼ ounce). Its name describes the most brilliant part of the mature male’s plumage. The throat feathers contain air bubbles that give off an iridescent red tone in full light. Their backs are metallic green, and they have green and black tail feathers. As a Neotropical migrant, the ruby-throat’s range extends from Canada to central Florida, with most wintering in Mexico and South America. They are arriving this month in northeast Florida.

The Puerto Rican parrot or "iguaca" (as our Taino Indians called it) is a bright green bird with a red band on the forehead, a white ring around the eye and the blue primary feathers. Juveniles are quite similar to adults. Both females and males are similar and measure about twelve inches.

Habitat: Their habitats are on crops, arable and waste land, gardens. Commonly on footpaths and in

Not until 2002 did scientists begin to recognize the evolutionary changes in subspecies, and create an entirely new species scientifically labeled Parus atricristatus. In 2017, you can now find a variety of closely related species of tufted titmice who have adapted to more diverse environments across America including a wide range of the South/Northeast, and even a few states out branching out West; each adapting to their environment beautifully. (Karnicky,

Some of them are blue and white, some are yellow and green. They are very small, thus the name parakeet. Parakeet means a small parrot. Budgies are referred to as parrots because they are small and stay the same size. They are very docile parakeets which are not loud and they do not bite as hard as your typical macaw or cockatoo would. These are possibly the easiest birds to care for and maintain because they are so small. You can keep them in a small bird cage versus a cage you might pay thousands of dollars for to keep a macaw in. They don't eat as much as the larger birds either. You will need to purchase a small bird cage for the parakeet. They will do well in pairs as well. They will need bird seed and a cuddle bone to chew on. They will also need some toys that they cannot cut themselves on. Birds love mirrors with different objects that hang from them. Avoid anything in the cage that will cut them such as metal toys. You will want to purchase a few perches for the parakeet to sit on through out the day. You will need a water and food dish that clips to the cage. Budgies live to be about five to ten years old depending on how healthy they are. Budgies love companionship and love to exercise as well. You can bring your budgie outside of the cage to run around on the floor but make sure that all of your pets are locked up or there could be a problem. Also make sure that your budgies wings are

is a large seabird, has a long gray bill, long pointed tail, and has white feathers all over

Butterflies are very beautiful and helpful insects. There are 12,000 types in the United States and 165,000 in the world. They are covered in scale-like hairs and have a long tongue called a proboscis used to suck pollen and nectar. Butterflies have beautiful designs on their wings that help classify

Severely restricted inside the barren cages, the birds are unable to engage in nearly any of their natural habits, including nesting, perching, walking, dust bathing, foraging, or even spreading their wings” (HSUS, 2009).

The Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte Anna) is a green and grey ball of feathers with the agility of a fighter pilot. They can hover, fly backwards, and even upside down for a short time. They are a medium sized species with the males sporting an iridescent ruby red throat patch and

The history of these birds is phenomenal, being consider object of controversy’s hundreds of years ago, the monk parakeet gave people reasons for belonging. In the 1970’s a national eradication programs were in effect due to the alarming number of monks. Several hundred birds were reducing from their population, but that did not stop these gregarious parrots from becoming one of the broadly distributed birds in the United states. It is believed, these birds double every year, due to easily adapting to non-tropical

Concentrations of pesticides from its prey caused widespread failure to reproduce during 1940s-1970s, and species disappeared from much of former breeding range. Has been reintroduced in many temperate areas in North America, and Arctic nesting populations have recovered somewhat also. Current populations appear to be stable or increasing. Open country, cliffs (mountains to coast); sometimes cities. Over its wide range, found in wide variety of open habitats, from tundra to desert mountains. Often near water, especially along coast, and migrants may fly far out to sea. Limited by availability of nest sites and prey; thus, it often moves into cities, nesting on building ledges and feeding on pigeons.

April showers bring May flowers, and ladybugs. Those darling spring beetles are, in fact more, important than their cute appearance leads you to believe. These metamorphic beetles are an important part to any garden’s ecosystem, from larva to full adult; ladybugs play a vital role in our agriculture.

This drought contributed to mortality of some of the birds. It was found that out of a total of 388 juveniles only 1 survived. Most of the smaller birds died due to lack of smaller seeds. In 1976, 17% of seeds eaten were large. The number jumped to 49% in 1977. The smaller birds were mostly females. This lead to a depletion in the sex ratio. Before 1977, there was one female to every male. However, in 1977 there was inly one female to every six males. During this same time the amount of seed

A two-sectioned chamber, separated by a divider, was constructed from standard birdcages, along with colored sidings, yellow and green, in each chamber. Pre-treatment preferences was determined by the placing of the finches in the middle of both
