How many times have we been sitting in one place and we saw many people feeding hundreds of pigeons that swirl desperate for the crumbs of bread or biscuits? View this picture in any place or park in Argentina is almost as normal as watching people taking their dogs for a walk or the kids playing ball. So it is very difficult to believe that today the pigeons are considered a pest in most cities on the planet. The rock dove or domestic is the most famous of the 300 varieties that exist in the world.
The most remarkable thing about this type of pigeon is the ability to return to their nest from anywhere, that’s why have been domesticated for carrying messages, which made them an excellent method of communication before the telegraph was invented. For people who raise pigeons in order to become messengers, are called “columbofilos”, a practice that has now become just a hobby due to the advent of new technologies. These animals feed on seeds, grains, legumes, fruits, grasses and almost any type of food. Urban pigeons come to live about 5 years but in captivity can reach up to 15. They are monogamous and breed

The ostrich in the Bible versus the Quran (2)
The ostrich is mentioned 10 times in the Bible. In Micah 1:8, the Lord God says: I will make lamentation like the ostriches, mourning like the ostriches.
On the other hand, the ostrich is not mentioned therein in the Quran. Yet, the Quran says that the birds in general live in societies like human beings.
==================================
The ostrich in the Bible (2)
In the Bible, Micah 1:8, the Lord God says that because of this (the sin of Samaria and Jerusalem), I will weep and wail; I will go about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a jackal and moan like an owl.
In the verse Micah 1:8, the Lord God will perform many different amazing acts; also, the Lord God is like two animals and two birds.
The Lord God will make these amazing acts; He will:
Be naked
Be stripped
Be spoiled
Go barefoot
Make lamentation
Mourn
Weep
Wail
Howl
Moan
The Lord God is like to two animals and two birds; He is like:
Dragon
Jackal
Ostrich
Owl
In reference to five different Biblical versions which are given in this article, the smart reader may observe that these five versions give different translation for the ostrich and the jackal. The ostrich is translated to the owl; and the jackal is

The most critical designs on the world’s best hummingbird feeder will involve the human element. Unlike birdseed feeders, nectar feeders must be completely cleaned at a minimum of once per week. Hummingbirds are attracted to fresh liquid, nectar that most closely resembles the natural nectar flowers provide. Unused nectar quickly turns to a molasses-type mixture that can not be easily removed.
The world’s best hummingbird feeders are designed with humans in mind, as well as hummingbirds. If a feeder is too complex or impossible to come apart, most people will not clean it properly. Adding fresh nectar to remnants of old nectar will create a spoiled mix for hummingbirds to drink. These small birds can immediately taste the stale nectar and will leave your feeders alone.
There are two standard types of hummingbird feeders, gravity fed and dish. Gravity fed hummingbird feeders consist of a chamber above a feeding base. You fill the chamber with fresh nectar and then attach a base that contains feeding ports. As the hummingbirds drink from the base, gravity from the chamber above constantly fills the base. The most critical part to clean will be the base. If you can not disassemble it, there are specially fitted brushes designed to

There are a lot of landlords that simply do not realize the importance of protecting your purple martins. These birds seem to be almost at the bottom of the food chain. It seems like almost every type of animal loves to prey on these birds and their young. For this reason, it is important to make sure your purple martins are protected.
The first and easiest way to protect your purple martins is to ensure that there is nothing even close to your purple martin house or gourds. In fact, it is recommended that you put your purple martin house 20 feet away from any type of structure that animals could use to gain access to your purple martins. For example prey can use limbs that overhang near the purple martin house to jump over onto it and then eat the young birds! Other times, if you place your purple martin house to close to a house or building of any kind, they will use these structures to climb onto, then make the leap over. So, the first thing you want to do in protecting your purple martins is simply keep it away from anything that could be used to gain
