Spix's Macaw
Author: Tony Juniper
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743475518
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
"Spix's Macaw tells the story of a unique band of brilliant blue birds - who talk, fall in love, and grieve - struggling against extinction. By the second half of the twentieth century the birds had become more valuable than heroin, worth thousands of dollars on the black market. In 1990, only one was found to be living in the wild and an emergency international rescue operation was launched, calling on private collectors to come forward with their birds to mate with the last wild Spix's." "In a breathtaking display of stoicism and endurance, the loneliest bird in the world had lived without a mate for fourteen years, outwitting predators and poachers. Would he take to a new companion? Like humans, Spix's Macaws can't be forced to love, but the stakes were as high as they could be: the survival of one of the world's most beautiful birds."--BOOK JACKET.

Welcome to Subirdia
Author: John M. Marzluff
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300210302
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Welcome to Subirdia presents a surprising discovery: the suburbs of many large cities support incredible biological diversity. Populations and communities of a great variety of birds, as well as other creatures, are adapting to the conditions of our increasingly developed world. In this fascinating and optimistic book, John Marzluff reveals how our own actions affect the birds and animals that live in our cities and towns, and he provides ten specific strategies everyone can use to make human environments friendlier for our natural neighbors. Over many years of research and fieldwork, Marzluff and student assistants have closely followed the lives of thousands of tagged birds seeking food, mates, and shelter in cities and surrounding areas. From tiny Pacific wrens to grand pileated woodpeckers, diverse species now compatibly share human surroundings. By practicing careful stewardship with the biological riches in our cities and towns, Marzluff explains, we can foster a new relationship between humans and other living creatures—one that honors and enhances our mutual destiny.

The Bluebird Story
Author: Dr. Don J. Harris
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1479779512
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Dr. Don Harris grew up in the swamps of South Louisiana, surrounded by wildlife. As a child, his typical pets included snakes, squirrels, raccoons, rats, bats, birds, alligators and armadillos. It’s not surprising that, as an adult, he became a veterinarian whose entire career has been dedicated to the care of exotic animals. “The Bluebird Story” evolved from Dr. Harris telling his toddler son, Adam, stories about the animals of his childhood. While the story captures a bit of the animals’ seasonal activities, what it really reveals is the truth behind the principle that giving, and acts of kindness toward our fellow creatures, brings about infinite blessings that could never be obtained otherwise.
