Can Animals and Animal Behaviors Predict the Weather

!±8± Can Animals and Animal Behaviors Predict the Weather

Do you think animals can predict the weather? In the USA, a groundhog is still used to predict the weather for up to six weeks in advance. If you see the groundhog's shadow at noon on the 2nd of February, (Groundhog's Day) then the weather will be cold and wintry for another six weeks.

Have you ever heard the saying that dogs act nervous and cats get frisky as kittens when a bad storm is on the way? Here are some other behaviors that is suppose to predict the coming of bad weather:
Frogs croak louder and longer than usual.
Roosters crow later in the day.
Birds fly lower to the ground and gather on tree branches and telephone wires.
Pigs squeal more and gather sticks to make a nest.
Cows lay down in the fields to feed, and lay down to ensure they have a dry spot to lay. Cows also run around the field with their tails raised high swatting flies before a storm.
Bees and butterflies seem to disappear from the flower beds they usually visit.
Red and black ants build up their mounds around the holes, and may actually cover the hole.
Fish jump out of the water and nip at low flying insects.

When South Asia had the devastating Tsunami which caused a large death toll and a large path of destruction, it was surprising how low the count was for loss of wildlife. Sri Lankan wildlife officials reported that they found no dead wild animals, including elephants. A photographer also reported seeing no animal corpses as he flew over the wildlife reserve - only active wildlife. An amazing fact when you consider the flood waters traveled up to two miles inland into the wildlife reserve. Potential theories suggest that a sixth sense alerted them to the Tsunami in plenty of time to reach higher and safer land. It could be from something as easy as their keen hearing, maybe hearing the wave approaching while it was still far enough away to escape. The animals may even be able to feel the vibrations of the ground, alerting them of the approaching dangerous situation.

While it's hard for us to know for sure how they knew danger was coming and what to do and where to go, the fact remains somehow, one way or another, they knew before it occurred.
Dolphins come into sheltered bays to avoid storms.
Spiders leave their webs when it rains.
Bees won't leave their hives.
Seagulls come inland and human beings claim to have pain in their joints, or stuffed up noses before it rains.
All over the globe animals have behaviors they exhibit before the weather changes for the worst.
History is full of weather lores. I will leave you with a few pertaining to animals:
If a cat washes her face o'er her ear, 'tis a sign the weather will be fine and clear.
Rainbow in the morning, shepherds take warning. Rainbow at night, shepherds delight.
I know ladies by the score, whose hair foretells a storm; Long before it pours, Their curls take a drooping form.
Mares tails and mackerel scales, Make lofty ships carry low sails.

When the wind is in the north, the skillful fisher goes not forth. When the wind is in the east, 'tis good for neither men nor beast. When the wind is in the south, it blows the flies in the fish's mouth. But when the wind is in the west, there it is the very best.
Fish bite least, with wind in the east.
When the ditch and pond affect the nose, Look out for rain and stormy blows.
A coming storm your shooting corn presage, and aches will throb, your hollow tooth will rage.
If your corns all ache and itch, The weather will make a switch.
If birds fly low, Expect rain and a blow.
If the rooster crows on going to bed, You may rise with a watery head.
Trout jump high, When rain is nigh.
Cats and dogs eat grass before a rain.
A swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of hay.
When sheep gather in a huddle, Tomorrow will have a puddle.
Expect the weather to be fair, When crows fly in pairs.
If woolly worms are dark, the coming weather will be severe.
When ladybugs swarm Expect a day that's warm.
When chickens scratch together, There's sure to be foul weather.
When pigs carry sticks, The clouds will play tricks. When they lye in the mud, No fears of a flood.
If the sparrow makes a lot of noise, rain will follow.

What always amazes me, is how much we can count on many of these peculiar behaviors. So the next time you notice animals acting a bit strange, pay close attention, they may be trying to give you a warning.

Why Do Birds Scream?

!±8± Why Do Birds Scream?

Why does my bird scream?

Boy if we had THE answer we'd be writing this from our yacht. But of course I have to weigh in here. What got me thinking about the subject of "why birds scream," is some recent web surfing.

I spend my days doing what many of you wish you could be doing, surfing the web for bird toys and parrot cages. The magic of the internet enables us to shop the world. In order for us to provide the best possible shopping experience. We look at lots of sites and products. Pricing is important but not our priority. We feel good information about parrots and general avian issues is the most important product we can offer. And we offer that for free. We like to know who's selling what. We also like to see how well they're selling it i.e. is the site easy to navigate. Do they offer multiple payment choices and so forth?

But I digress - So here I am on the of a national chains of pet supply products. They have an FAQ for bird ownership. Something we always applaud. Well I'm reading the list and one of the topics is Why is my bird screaming? No real explanation is offered and at the end of the paragraph they recommend taking your parrot to a vet if screaming persists.

Yikers! Screaming parrots - vets - why?

Let's look at this logically folks, not that parrots are logical but they are creatures of habit. One of the things we learned from Michelle Karras http://www.thepoliteparrot.com is silence means danger! If you have a flock of wild parrots in trees (in their natural environment) or even a flock of local wild birds in your back yard. On any given sunny day a flock of birds will make a lot of noise - it's all about FLOCK. Chirp, chirp, scream, scream. What are they communicating about? Same things we do. "Find any food lately? Yeah they had a great sale on worms about a mile from here."

SILENCE means danger! If you've ever seen a hawk fly over a flock of wild birds, you swear you can hear the sound of the hawk's wings flapping. That's one of the reasons parrots come in so many colors. If they're quiet and deep in a tree they are difficult to spot. When that danger passes its chirp, chirp, scream, scream. So again I ask, "is screaming a reason to run to the vet? I don't think so.

Something we hear a lot of is - people will have a screaming bird (usually newbie's) and the bird will scream for whatever reason. What does their human companion do? Yell SHUT UP! And what does the parrot do? SCREAM SOME MORE!

Again I fall back on my good friend logic. The bird screams, you scream back. Do you think there may be a slight chance that when you scream back the bird might be thinking "hey - this is great! Someone is finally squawking back at me "hey SCREAM, SCREAM, please scream back some more, I'm lonely you're my flock and I need to talk to someone than you?"

Begin to see where I'm going with this grasshopper? OK so now you know one of the whys. Here's a little tip form Michelle Karras http://www.thepoliteparrot.com that may work for you:

Excessive screaming is a learned behavior that we teach our birds. Covering your feathered companion with a blanket, teaches him or her that you will cover the cage when scream gets out of hand.

Yelling at a screaming parrot, gives the parrot the attention it seeks. Ignoring a screaming parrot is not the answer either. Ignoring bird's screams could result in finding injuries too late (or water had run out). Options are to make sure all your Psittacines needs are satisfied. Large hygienic cage, clean water, fresh food, working toys. Twelve hours of sleep (uninterrupted), soft wood and other materials to chew, and plenty of exercise.

Start with a signal to stop loud parrots. Ring a cowbell (or bang a pot) in the room next to the screaming bird. They hear the bell (sound), they stop to listen, Show up from the other room while they are quiet to praise and reward. Set them up to succeed. Use a time when you know they are quite loud. Distract them with a new noise in the next room. As soon as they stop to listen, appear and praise.

Lengthen the time between the signal and your appearance each time. Try and take a whole day at first and only work with the parrot and the screaming. Initial rewards should be substantial, a known favorite treat. Use the same signal just before feeding fresh food. Wait until the parrot is noisy; give the signal, praise, and feed.

Not all parrots will quiet down for the same signal so you may have to try several noises before finding the one that works for you.

Note: Do not use your voice. They may try to mimic you.

Scream time is a time during the day that you allow your parrots to be noisy. This should be given somewhere between 3p.m. and 7p.m. each day. Encourage your parrots by playing stimulating music. Dance, sing or scream along with them. Scream time should last no less than 15minutes and no more than 1/2 hour each day.

Some parrots enjoy screaming to the vacuum, this is fine to encourage but play music as well. Find music that your parrot gets excited over. Use that same song every day for scream time. Change the music from time to time but be consistent overall. When Scream time is over, lower the music volume Talk your parrot down. Lower the music slowly, turn it off, and play their relaxation code music. Give them afternoon snacks when "cool down" is over.

Birds will wait for their "Scream Time" because they know they will be rewarded for their patience.

Paul Rodgers (audio only) done by the group "Free," the evidence in the studio during a recording session for FREE with the free hand "Guardian of the Universe". Born PR wrote this for his son, then secretary. Only a practice to perform the song, he coughs and coughs, and you play pretty low-key in parts without maximum effort. Such an effort would probably be deleted by most engineers, but they realized that her voice is simply beautiful, and still very reasonableit. Here is accompanied on keyboards (organ), and none of the other band members are evident. Eventually, the engineer says, "I fluffed in some places." It seems that the engineer (off microphone) is something like "Want to try again" or "Do you want to wait for others", why then says: "Now I'm back in a minute so that we can (wait?). .. ". The band version of this song appears on his latest album "Free At Last" and is played on a piano,Instead the organ here, in addition to carrying a guitar and a small drum and bass accompaniement optimistic. This version is free from 5-CD box "Free: the Songs of Yesterday". The box contains a couple of other oddities such as Paul Rodgers on vacation in Jamaica, in May 1972, shortly after Free had re-formed and played a great reggae song (written by Paul), "(I Just Want to) See You Smile "with the legendary reggae band" The Maytals "register.
