Help a Ferret Rescue Operation

By Corey • February 9, 2009 • 1 comment

This is not the usual bird-related post on 10,000 Birds but hopefully some of our readers can help. On January 25 a fire raged through a small in-home ferret rescue operation in New Jersey, Father Natures Ferret Rescue, killing all but three ferrets and leaving the rescuers with almost nothing. Despite this tragedy, the rescuers are still rescuing ferrets and need your support. Please visit their site and make a donation.

Birds in the Mossad?

Last year, vigilant Saudi Arabian officials detained an Israeli spy vulture yet apparently failed to foil the “Zionist espionage plot.” How else to explain the highly suspicious European Bee-Eater Turkish authorities are currently investigating. Damning evidence includes an Israeli bird band and unusually large nostrils. Birders of the world: if you see something, say something. (Hat-tip to Suzie Gilbert!)

Too Many Nene?

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene, has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.
