How do you punish a parrot? A parrot is an intelligent bird. It is often said that parrots are just as intelligent as a toddler. Of course, that also means that a parrot should be brought up. It is very important how the parrot is punished. Wrong punishment can lead to behavioral problems. But the way you teach your parrot things is important. Because when you teach your parrot good behavior you can prevent punishing most of the time. But sometimes however, a parrot just needs to be…

In “Feathers” by Raymond Carver, a couple goes to a coworker’s house for dinner, where they encounter a peacock, a plaster mold of crooked teeth, and an ugly baby. Afterwards, the couple has a child of their own. Two symbols in the story are the peacock and plaster mold of crooked teeth. The first symbol in this story is the peacock. Peacocks can be described as “birds of 1,000 eyes,” “birds of paradise,” “very colorful,” and “exotic”. The dictionary defines peacock as, “a person who is vain…

SAN DIEGO >> U.S. researchers are launching studies on Mexico’s red-crowned parrot — a species that has been adapting so well to living in cities in California and Texas after escaping from the pet trade that the population may now rival that in its native country. The research comes amid debate over whether some of the birds flew across the border into Texas and should be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Parrots in U.S. urban areas are just starting to draw attention from…

One of the most observed birds on campus are crows, whether they’re calling from the trees or stealing food from trash cans, they seem to be ever present. This is funny considering that they seemed to elude me every time I took the time to observe them. For as much as I couldn’t find them, I did make some very interesting observations that led me to my own conclusions about why they behave the way they do, and when they do it. As far as what crows look like, they’re fairly large birds- larger…

During this week I saw an episode of The life of the Birds presented by David Attenborough in which he showed the way which some birds have for catching the attention of a possible couple.

Their repertoire of sounds range from uttering a liquid, rambling medley of soft caws, coos, clicks and rattles and rusty gate sounds. They may not be classified as songbirds, but they are every bit as interesting.

Nearly every bird watching guide describes the American Crow as one of…
