I was walking out to my back yard and two dead hummingbirds were right at the door. I have a large glass door. One of them looked like it had a really tiny droplet of blood coming out. Just sad to see such beautiful birds dead like that on the floor. Any idea what may have caused it? I would’ve added pictures but might’ve been too graphic for some members. Poor babies😭

Hi everyone, theres a dog 2 houses left to ours, it is a puppy, couple months old. She/He has been crying outside for over 1 week now, but it's really a loud cry. Literally able to hear it for about 500meters. Me and my sister went to their family and told them to bring it inside, that it's not good to leave a puppy outside for so long after crying. Afterwards they did it, and 2 hours after they put him outside again. What can i do with that? Im pretty sensitive about dogs, what would you all do?

Hi there so after reading the rules I believe this is allowed ? I have a few questions. Anywho, we recently took in a stray cat, are in the process of adopting them. I must say they smell HORRIBLE! I thought maybe it was something in their mouths and had the vet check it out to be sure. They literally smell like poop… despite being given a bath. After speaking with someone else who has taken in strays and the vet, they have informed me they may just be gassy adjusting to the food we are feeding them. Does anyone know how long this lasts ?

Secondly, I already have a 7 year old cat. I am quite nervous to introduce them for a few reasons, one being the kitten in the opposite sex and isn’t fixed yet. This will be happening, however we need to wait to book this appointment the humane society says (they give owners so many days to come forward). I am worried this kitten may spray. I have children at home and if either cat starts peeing/kitten starts spraying I’m not sure how this will play out. Is there anything I can do to prevent this at all?

Thirdly, do some animals just never adjust to eachother? Our current 7 year old cat is an amazing cat.. I’ve heard her hiss ONE time in the 7 years we have owned her and it was very quiet. She has been introduced to 2 other pets before but she was 1 years old at the time. I really want this to work out for not just this new kitten but our family as well. I would never just throw the cat back outside but rehome him. It’s quite sad he’s underweight and my kids really love him.

I am open to all and any advice. There may have been questions I missed so if you have anything helpful please let me know.

Turns out it's a duck

Do ducks usually live in urban areas. I just saw a male and female duck walking around, they arent starving bc they seemed to be pretty plump and fit. I'm just confused bc ducks are built to live in wetlands/ marshes so why are they in a relativly dry city near toronto

So today I let me dogs out in their little play fence outside and I noticed they were reaching outside the gate with their paws and digging up a ton of hair and grass. I walked over and saw they had revealed a rabbit burrow with maybe four or five baby rabbits, not sure how old they were but their eyes were closed. My dogs hadn’t touched any of the rabbits, they were all totally fine so I immediately brought my dogs inside. I came back outside with gloves and placed all the dug up grass and hair back over the burrow so they were again concealed. My question is, is there anything else I should have done? Will the mother smell my dogs’ presence when she returns and cause her to avoid the burrow? Should I try finding wildlife rehabbers in the area, or was re-covering the burrow sufficient? I just want those little guys to live happy rabbit lives. I apologize if this is the wrong community to ask!

Technically everything i said in the title, i live in Armenia and I'd like a fast delivery please someone help me find a verified website:(

So people can live for like a hundred years or even longer if they live a healthy life and die of natural causes. A cat can live for nearly twenty years, one lived for nearly forty. Turtles can live for extremely long amounts of time. So what variables make the largest impact on the maximum lifespan of a species?

Just for a new doggy. 😁 But we've noticed her head swivels from side to side B4 she eats it. Like how cats do when they smell a scent. But she then doesn't seem interested and then won't rest it. So I was eating a piece of chicken and she took the bone and ate it with np.

Any explanations

Everytime I see something there is always some fan war. Like goku vs superman And kong vs Godzilla Don’t get me wrong but this is the ones that trigger me the most Lion vs tiger fans and other vs of actual animal fans. I see comments like “shut up gay lion fan” and “lions would absolutely destroy a stupid tiger”. They are animals. They don’t care whether they win or not. And personally if you are insulting the both of them. I’d like to see what happens if you said that face to face with an actual lion/tiger or any the animal. Who cares about who wins. Plus everyone makes false percentages like “ well actually a lion/tiger wins 9/10 times” have you seen every fight of a lion or tiger, in every possible scenario and in history? Aswell as “most tigers/lions kill lions/tigers all the time” they don’t even see eachother, so how does that make sense? Although a tiger is far stronger then there African counter parts the lion, it still doesn’t mean it gets beat in a fight. This is were a word called scenario plays in. Age/illness or injury/gender/pretty much everything must be accounted for, and believe me I work on stuff like this. So just agree to love every animal:)

Thave a friend who is working for a NGO that wants to combine emotional intelligence courses/ therapy with animals. It is intended for b2b, so these courses are for employees. Do you think it is a good idea? Basically when these courses are being held, there will be also animals that day at the office (dogs, cats, small animals from local shelter). She doesn't know how to attract sponsors.
