Many of your pet fowl questions can be answered here, including how to diaper your goose or duck. The pictures say far more.
I’m visiting awesome friends Ruth and Oliver in Cortes, They have been incubating and raising Khaki Campbell ducks for a couple of years. They’re apparently excellent egg layers (averaging 300 a year!) but apparently this breed fixity on pumping out eggs has created unreliable (characterized hesitantly as terrible) mothers. So Ruth and Oliver set a…
1. Critical sensitive period Imprinting occurs at a particular time termed the sensitive period during early postnatal life. For example, in anserine birds such as ducks and geese, the time for imprinting is 24-48 hours after hatching when the ‘following response’ is learnt. At this time a gosling learns to follow his mother who is…
Sukadana, a small coastal city in western Borneo, is in the midst of a building boom. But the new houses are not for people. They are giant birdhouses playing an all-day siren call through booming speakers to a small bird whose edible nests — at almost $1,000 a pound — produce a broth that is…
It is difficult not to respond with a biblical chill to the confluence of reports; and no answers – even all disparate causes – are going to be an enormous relief, either. Wildlife officials say that even more previously unreported dead birds were found in Kentucky last week. Millions of dead fish surfaced in Maryland’s…
a year of continued and frightening environmental degradation and the looming prospect of severe food shortages in years to come. It is the image of workers in the Maoxian county of Sichuan, China, an area that has lost its pollinators through the indiscriminate use of pesticides and the over-harvesting of its honey.

OK I just updated the page and files. This is the latest, almost done. The brilliant Veronique Brossier is working with me to create all the new code for this new piece I began in 09/09 at Eyebeam, and it’s in great shape. Check out the work in progress here. It’ll probably take a while…
(via Sue Morgan, from Pink Tentacle): Gensou Hyouhon Hakubutsukan (“Museum of Fantastic Specimens”) is an online collection of creatures “curated” by Hajime Emoto. The three-story virtual museum consists of 9 rooms chock full of water- and land-dwelling monstrosities from all corners of the globe. – http://pinktentacle.com
My cousin Pejk Malinowski sent me this poem last night by Robert Creeley. I am smitten. Love The thing comes of itself (Look up to see the cat & the squirrel, the one torn, a red thing, & the other somehow immaculate) – Robert Creeley
Just watched The Cove. Besides its effectively genius simple mediation techniques (TVs strapped to protesting bodies in public spaces jihad-style; happy dolphin balloons armed with covert spycams), the fundamental argument is… unarguable. Dolphin slaughter should become an embarrassing harpoon in Japan’s public image. – as top-of-the-food-chain eaters (like us), dolphin meat contains toxic levels of…
