Apart from size, the Great Egret from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet can be distinguished, even though the bill may become darker and legs lighter in the breeding season. Men and women are equal in appearance, young, non-breeding adults. Differs Intermediate Egret (Mesophoyx intermedius) through the open mouth, which extends well beyond the back of the eye in the Great Egret, but ends up just behind the eye in the case of Intermediate Egret.

The Great Egret is not normally a vocal bird breeding colonies, but croaking cuk cuk cuk often strong. The Great Egret is partially migratory birds in the northern hemisphere to the southern areas with colder winters. It builds a bulky stick nest.The Great Egret is usually a kind of great success with a large and growing area. In North America, a large number of Grey Heron in the late 19th century killed for their feathers were used to adorn hats. Numbers have since recovered following conservation measures. The offer extends as far north as southern Canada.

In 1953 the Great Egret in flight was a symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part chosen to avoid the slaughter of birds for their feathers. The Great Egret is a species in which the Agreement on the Conservation of migratory waterfowl (AEWA) applies.

California Condor

 

The Life of Animals | California Condor | The Condor adult California is a black uniform, with the exception of the large triangular patches or bands of white at the bottom of the wings.

As an adaptation for hygiene, the condor head and neck have few feathers, which the skin to the sterilizing effects of dehydration and ultraviolet light at high altitudes exposes. The skin of the head and neck can wash strong. Birds have no real syringeal sounds. To determine the most measurements are taken from birds in captivity, so if there are significant differences in measurements between wild condors in captivity is difficult. California condor is the largest wingspan of a bird in North America. The Crane American White Pelican and scream even more jobs than the condor. Condor are so great.

The middle of the foot Californian condor is very elongated, and the hind legs slightly developed. The condors live in rocky scrub, pine forests and oak savannas. There are two shrines dedicated to this bird, the Sisquoc Condor Sanctuary in the desert of San Rafael and the Sespe Condor Sanctuary in Los Padres National Forest. These areas were chosen for their first condor nesting habitat. When in flight, the movements of the condor are very beautiful. The California condor has a long lifespan, up to 60 years. If it survives to adulthood, the condor has few natural threats other than humans.

The display voice grunts and wheezes limited. Condors bathe frequently and can spend hours each day cleaning their feathers. Condors lead urohidrosis or defecate on their legs to their body temperature to decrease. There is a well developed social structure within large groups of condors, with whistling competition in a hierarchical order by body language, behavior competitions, and a variety of grunts and determine decided. This social hierarchy is displayed especially when the birds to eat, eat of the judgment for the young birds.

If the chick or egg is lost or removed, were the parents "double clutch" or an egg to the place lost. The eggs hatch after 53-60 days of incubation by both parents.

Ready to focus their energies on a new nest Ravens are the main predators of eggs condor threats, while eagles and bears offspring condor potential predators. Unusually, this bird takes different roles in the history of the different tribes. The Wiyot tribe of California say that the condor recreated mankind after Above Old Man wiped humanity with a flood. Condor then seized Ground Squirrel after he fled, but Ground Squirrel managed to cut off the head with Condor Condor paused to take a sip of blood. After Yokut tribe, the condor sometimes ate the moon, so the moon cycle, and its wings caused eclipses. The Chumash tribe of Southern California believed that the condor was once a white bird, but it was black when he flew too close to the fire.

Condor bones have been found in graves as Indians have condor feather headdresses. Cave paintings of condors are discovered. Some tribes ritually slain robes to condors from their pens. Shamans then danced while wearing them reaching the higher and lower spiritual worlds. Some scientists, such as Noel Snyder believes that this process has helped ceremonial robes help the condor decline

Males are larger than females twice as heavy in the capercaillie, the largest member of the family. Grouse feathers have noses. Unlike other Galliformes, birds lack spurs These feed primarily on buds, catkins vegetation, leaves and branches, which normally accounts for over 95 percent of adult food weight. Many forest species in life is characterized by the consumption of large quantities of needles, rejecting most other vertebrates. To digest food facility, grouse are the main crops and gizzards, eating grain to break down food and have developed bowel with blind where symbiotic bacteria digest cellulose.

Prairie species are more social and tundra species (grouse, lagopus) are the most social, forming flocks of up to 100 in the winter. Most species stay within their nesting area year-round, but make small seasonal movements of many individuals ptarmigan (grouse is called in America) and willow (Willow Ptarmigan is called in America) migration hundreds of kilometers. In all but one species (willow ptarmigan), males are polygamous. The displays feature bright colors and combs for men in some species, colorful inflatable bags on the sides of the neck. The female lays a clutch, but can be replaced if lost eggs. The eggs are in the form of chicken eggs is yellow and pale brown hardly stained. Female (and male grouse) are with them and protect them until their first autumn, when they reach their adult weight (except grouse males).

The three tundra species have retained their previous figures. Prairie and forest species have declined significantly due to habitat loss, but popular games Ruffed grouse and capercaillie has benefited conservation. Most grouse species listed by IUCN as "Least Concern" or "near threatened", but prairie chicken major and minor are listed as "vulnerable" and Gunnison Ortega appears as "at risk".

The Guinness Book of Records with a gray parrot who would have lived 72 years in captivity, as the longest lived of the sample species. In 2012 the species was vulnerable to further uplisted. Grey parrots depend on large old trees for the natural caves. Them to nest Studies in Guinea and Guinea-Bissau have found that African gray parrots preferred species of nesting trees are also preferred timber species. There is a positive relationship between the status of the species and the status of primary forests, where forests are declining, so the populations of gray parrots The African gray parrot is listed in Annex II to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

With exports accounting for more than 350,000 copies from 1994 to 2003, the gray parrot is one of the fastest processed CITES-listed species of birds. This review has resulted in recommended zero export quotas for the states, and to develop a wider CITES decision to regional management plans for the species. In the United States, the importation of wild-caught gray parrots under the laws of the United States Wild Bird Conservation is prohibited 1992nd In the European Union, an EU Directive of 2007 prevents importation of this and other birds caught in the wild for the pet trade.

Unlike other parrots, wild African Greys have documented imitate the calls of several other species.
