In this book, fourteen classic studies of bird behaviour are brought together to compare the different partnership patterns from ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Often there is a battle of the sexes, as individual birds behave in the way that serves their best interests. Introductory and concluding chapters review the latest thinking on this fascinating subject. - ;Some birds mate for life, while others have many partners. In this book, fourteen studies are brought together to compare different partnership patterns from ecological and evolutionary perspectives. The subjects have been chosen to include the same species living in different habitats (Sparrowhawks) and at different population densities (Great Tits). There are comparisons between closely related species (Mute Swans and Bewick's Swans). The studies span the globe and the behavioural gradient, from Iceland's strictly monogamous Whooper Swans to Australia's sexually promiscuous Splendid Fairy-wrens. In all cases, sexual and social relationships strongly influence a bird's survival and breeding success. -

Download or read book Birds and Berries written by Barbara Snow and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking text offers many insights not generally perceived by ornithologist or botanist and is illustrated in masterly fashion by John Busby's lively drawings. The book's subtitle - A study of an ecological interaction - properly reflects the author's theme but may tend to hide the fact that the relationships between birds and berries can be much more than the simple, mutually advantageous systems ('eat my fruits, spread my seeds' ) they may seem at first to be. Therein lies the core of the book - the less obvious intricacies and implications of plant/bird associations, the co-evolution of species in some cases and the adaptation of a species (bird or plant) to further its own advantage. To complicate the scene, too, there are the 'exploiters', the pulp-predators and seed-predators that feed at the plant's expense. In Part I of the book the authors provide accounts by species of the trees and shrubs they observed over many years in their study area of southern England; similarly, Part 2 records the bird species they watched feeding, or attempting to feed, or preventing other birds from feeding, on the fruits. Part 3 ranges widely and is not confined to Britain and Europe. It investigates the strategies and adaptations evolved and employed by plants to ensure their success, and their attempts at defence against the bird 'predators'. It looks at the birds themselves, their foraging techniques and fruit preferences, the limitations of a fruit diet and adaptations to it, the time and energy budgets of fruit-eaters and, finally, the intriguing question of co-evolution of plants and birds.

Download or read book Pet Birds written by Normany Alkon and published by Editora Bibliomundi. This book was released on 2021 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One mistake which many people make when they decide to purchase a new pet is to make a quick purchase without knowing much about the kind of pet they are adding to their home. This can lead to a number of unnecessary problems and unnecessary disappointment. They may find that they do not know how to properly take care of the pet, that it is much more time-consuming than they had expected, or that the pet they believed would be lots of fun was troublesome and annoying. They may even decide that they really do not want the pet at all. Fortunately, this does not need to happen to you. If you are willing to spend just a little time learning about the pet you have chosen before you purchase it and take it home, you can easily avoid any unnecessary problems and disappointment. Your new pet - and living with him - will be a great experience! Although the details will be addressed in an upcoming chapter, one of the most important things you need to know in advance is the upkeep which your new bird will need. This includes such factors as when, what, and how often he will need to be fed and watered, special products he will need in order to stay in excellent health, and the amount of exercise he will require. If this is to be your first pet bird, knowing all of this in advance can prevent worry and stress, and help your bird to lead a long, healthy life. The more you know about the specific type of bird you have selected, this also will go a long way toward the happiest life for him and the most enjoyment for you. A good start would be to consult with the owner of your pet shop, or check into resources at your local library. You can learn about the bird’s personality style and traits, what he is capable of learning and doing, and any particular needs that he might have. While you might be tempted to think that all birds are basically the same, this is not necessarily the case. Learning as much as you can about the specific breed you want to buy is not only informative, but will also show you how very special your new pet really is. You will surely appreciate his uniqueness!
