As part of their drive to increase awareness of birds and the need for conservation across the Western Hemisphere, Environment for the Americas hosts International Migratory Bird Day.

Entertaining Button Quails are a Delight to Keep

Although not easily tamed, with patience on behalf of the human caretaker, button quails do respond positively to love and attention.
Black Grouse Saved from Extinction
The Black Grouse appears on the IUCN Red List of endangered species and was considered to be one of the bird species most likely to become extinct.

The Art of Hand Rearing Baby Birds
For many bird owners, hand rearing a baby bird is a rewarding and very time consuming undertaking. It takes patience, dedication and discipline, but owners will reap the rewards of hand rearing as the baby birds form a close bond and loving relationship with their owners. In breeding programs, birds are often taken from their parents to encourage increased production, or in some instances the chicks are orphaned by their parents and need human assistance to ensure their survival.
