Birds fascinate us every day. They sing, they migrate, and they build beautiful nests. But some birds do something absolutely weird. They use ants. This is anting. It appears strange.

We’ll look at how it works, why birds do it, which species are known for it, and what science says.…

Raccoons are clever, curious, and occasionally a nuisance. They tip dumpsters, destroy roofs, and wash their hands with dainty paws. But one huge question on everyone’s minds is: do raccoons eat birds? The short answer is yes. Raccoons are opportunistic omnivores and will consume nearly anything—plants, fruit, insects, fish, small mammals, and birds from time to time. It isn’t quite that simple, though.

We’re going to talk about raccoon diets,…

Birds appear to be everywhere. They perch on our back porch, fly over oceans, zip through wood lots. Their vigilance invokes curiosity. Perhaps the most common question one has is the simplest and most intriguing: Are birds carnivores? The response is not no and not yes. There are birds that live exclusively on meat. There are those that live on plant, for the most part. There are so many that live on a little bit of both, seasonally and as a matter of need. But the issue is the fact that most birds are semi-carnivorous. They eat insects, fish, small…

Bird names come in all shapes and sizes. Some short and snappy. Some long and poetic. Some of the most compelling are those which have exactly five letters. They are memorable and brief, easy to say, and very likely to turn up in crosswords, games, and quizzes.
