Hey Wizzz, how did the earthquake affect you today? Some in downtown high-rises here in Indianapolis, Indiana felt it!

Don't know who it is :loveshow:

A provisional diagnosis of what happened with Little Eve, posted on the blog:

"The tentative diagnosis (confirmed by histology for the moment) is: Herpesvirus hepatitis and bacterial pneumonia."

thanks Alisson

Thanks, Alison! It is nice to get an answer even though it is sad.

Hi all !

Sorry I haven't checked the forum for a while. Funny enough, when the earthquake happened I was on top of a building downtown, talking with the manager to install a new falcon box. I did not feel a thing, but he did - he told me - hey did you feel that! :grin:

I guess I'm used to tall buildings that move when you're on top :wink:

On the above photos it's Spirit. She's been coming back to the box regularly, and Roger as well. Horus has started to carry preys, I haven't seen any exchange yet, but yesterday he took food from his mom on a ledge and flew to a higher one to eat it.

As for Eve's disease, I don't know much more about this virus except that it was transmitted by a prey. Her immune system was probably weaker than the other falcons so that's why she's the only one who caught it.

thanks Wizzz. :thumbegg:

I am glad that Hourus is doing well. I guess no Polly sightings. that is a puzzle also.

Someone all stretched out and relaxing

SusanE · **Posted:** Fri Jul 02, 2010 6:27 pm

I would like to think that is Polly but probably is our cutie, Horus.
Thanks for the update, Wizzz. You were on top of the building during the earthquake??!! Yikes! :shock:

PUBLIC APOLOGY

While searching today for some comforting words by Froona over the death of an adult falcon (Scout of Columbus), I came across another post of hers, and from that post I realized that I needed to make an apology to those who read this thread.

On May 8th I posted this comment:

If there is one very important thing I learned from Froona it was that falcons don't have "feelings" but rather they operate their lives based on hormones which cycle during a season. She helped me to see that S2 of DeMortal was not being rude or mean when she first arrived at that nest; she was just going by what her hormones told her.

While the second sentence IS what Froona believed, I now understand that the first sentence is NOT what Froona felt. Here is the post I found just a few minutes ago, and I owe it to you and to Froona to make this right. Here are her true thoughts on the subject of avian feelings:

Posted by Froona - April 25, 2008 - Richmond, VA:

"These are sensient creatures. They are extremely intelligent. They can remember things, they have a kind of thinking. And when you listen to peregrines, they do greeve, are angry, tender.

". . . I once saw in the lake in front of my house how a waterbird disposed of an egg with a dead emebryo. It was very upsetting and will never forget it. She was very distressed and was screaming and stayed that way all day. Birds do have feelings and a soul. I am so very sure of that."

So, please accept my apology for misquoting Froona. I'm actually rather relieved to know that Froona felt that birds have feelings. :girlluv:

The whole hormone thing being the driver was even hard for me to believe.

thanks for psoting that, Susan.

WE all agree with Froona ,I thnk
