#San diego Zoo Welcomes Season's 1st Condor Chick The San diego Zoo welcomed its first California condor chick of the hatching season on Feb 24 the zoo announced yesterday (March 11) as part of their breeding program
It covers our hands so the chick does not get any beneficial experiences from people.
Webb has also been monitoring the other condor eggs set to hatch this season to estimate how long before each chick pips
and allows him to see how the chick is developing. In a photo released by the zoo Webb is examining an egg on March 11 that he estimates will hatch in 21 days.
Since then the zoo has hatched 173 chicks and released 80 birds into the wild. There are now an estimated 400 wild birds.

1. Turkey troubles Nothing says Thanksgiving like cooking an obscenely large farm bird. Perhaps it's not surprising then that emergency rooms see a lot of fowl-related injuries on Turkey Day.
Deep-frying turkeys poses a major hazard. If the turkey is wet or partially frozen when it hits the oil the bird can catch fire
or even explode. We've had singed fires that hair and eyebrows and splash burns to the face said Dr. Robert Glatter an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New york. Avoiding Fried Turkey Disaster (Infographic) People also drop their turkeys causing second-degree burns to the tops
of their feet contusions and the occasional toe fracture Glatter told Livescience. Sometimes cooks slip on their turkeys
and hit their heads he added. 2. Carving catastrophes What happens when you mix slightly inebriated people with carving knives?
A lot of finger lacerations and thumb lacerations Glatter said. His advice? Don't carve under the influence.
Sometimes while people are carving the turkey they skewer themselves with pieces of turkey bone said Dr. Joseph Garber the director of emergency medicine at Syosset Hospital in New york. 3. Overindulging One of the most common problems around Thanksgiving as one might guess involves eating
And when people eat too quickly food can get lodged in their throats especially turkey
And turkey can carry salmonella so it's important to cook the bird thoroughly. Food allergies also rear their ugly heads at the holidays.

#Why Aren't Turkey Eggs Sold at the Grocery? As you pick up your turkey at the grocery store this week you might wonder why you never see the birds'eggs for sale.
Gobbling turkeys do lay eggs. But selling them in grocery stores would have its drawbacks. Turkey eggs small numbers and big size make them less practical for the poultry section.
Chickens start reproducing early and pump out more eggs than turkeys. The larger size of turkey eggs requires more room to nest
which takes up too much space in a coop. Economically meat from a grown turkey bird is much more valuable than an extra large fried egg.
Plus some breeds of turkey have retained a strong mothering instinct which is good for hatching chicks
but tough on farmers trying to collect the eggs. If you still want turkey eggs your best bet is to try a farm stand.
Or buy a live turkey and wait for it to lay an egg. Follow Life's Little Mysteries on Twitter@llmysteries. We're also on Facebook & Google
#Why Australia's Wildfires Are So Bad A dry warm winter set the stage for dozens of wildfires currently threatening populated areas in New south wales Australia.
The fires have destroyed hundreds of homes and sent smoke and ash into the air over Sydney.
The region which is now entering summer also experienced hundreds of fires this January during a catastrophic heat wave.
 The past three months have been among the driest 10 percent on record in New south wales (NSW) said Todd Lane a meteorologist at the University of Melbourne.
#Wild Turkeys Are Back, A Century After Severe Decline In the early 1900s wild turkeys seemed to be on the road toward extinction as unregulated hunting
and widespread logging had wiped them out over much of their Range in the last few decades
and some new places where they hadn't been said previously wildlife biologist Thomas Hughes of the National Wild Turkey Federation an organization that has reintroduced the animals into the wild.
 In total about 7 million wild turkeys live in the United states; prior to 1500 an estimated 10 million turkeys existed he added.
In some places the growth of wild turkey populations has been so dramatic it has caused minor problems said Kelsey Sullivan a wildlife biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in Bangor.
In Maine for example the birds have been known to damage strawberry and blueberry crops. They have also been found rummaging in the fodder of dairy cattle
8 Terrific Turkey Facts Minor conflicts There have also been conflicts with homeowners particularly in areas that have recently been developed.
There have been problems from turkey droppings on the lawn to roosting on the roof to pecking the side of a car where they see their reflection to chasing the mailman from time to time Hughes told Livescience.
and raccoons are more likely than wild turkeys to destroy most crops according to work by researchers at Purdue University.
One 2005 study for example found that less than 0. 1 percent of the crop damage in Indiana is caused by wild turkeys.
But when the turkeys show up in the morning often in the same areas that have been damaged they get wrongly blamed said Duane Diefenbach a wildlife researcher at Pennsylvania State university.
Gobbler restocking Prior to the 1950s efforts to restock the wild turkeys mostly failed Hughes said That's
because researchers tried to use domestically bred wild turkeys which couldn't survive in nature.
By the 1950s biologists had developed a special type of cannon-propelled net that allowed scientists to catch groups of wild turkeys more effectively to translocate them to new areas he added.
Wild turkeys can live in forests and farmland but don't do well in dense thickets they need open spaces where males can display to females as a part of their breeding ritual Hughes said.
Hughes first got interested in wild turkeys when hunting them with his father as a child in northern Florida.
In most areas turkey-hunting season occurs in the spring and fall with catch limits designed to keep populations stable

Nearly 5 million people have tuned in to the explore. org critter cam located on Hog Island in Bremen Maine to watch some of the first chicks of the season hatch.
Two chicks have hatched already and a third is expected to emerge any day. See livestream of the newly-hatched osprey chicks The Hog Island ospreys typically spend their winter in South america.
The lovebirds returned to Maine in late April and performed their courtship rituals. Steve gathered sticks and soft bark to line the nest
The eggs and chicks are almost never left alone including at night. About 50 days after they hatch chicks will start exercising their wings
and will practice flying from the nest. In early September they will launch on a solo journey along the Atlantic Flyway from Maine to South america via the Caribbean.
Over the past 13 years dozens of cinnamon-brown chicks have been raised in captivity to be released into the wild
They're matching some chicks with adult bird parents that can hopefully step in where humans are failing.
When they hatch the chicks are raised by humans cloaked in white costumes with a beaked puppet on their hands to teach the birds to eat and drink.
The chicks are always in sight of actual adult whooping cranes Biologists just don't want the birds to be handled by people in street clothes Olsen told Live Science.
When the chicks are about 6 months old they are released in Wisconsin. Then comes the most critical time in their life:
If the chicks don't experience that first migration they won't ever learn to migrate. We have great success in doing this in that the birds survive Olsen said.
Captive-raised chicks that are released into the wild seem to thrive; they even pair off with mates
and raising chicks and we don't know how much of the component of raising chicks is learned innate
That's a big problem because for whooping cranes to become totally self-sustaining in the wild they'll need to raise wild-born chicks themselves.
and feed the chicks after they hatch. At the end of September four parent-reared chicks were released at Necedah
along with seven costumed-reared chicks that are intended to join the Eastern Migratory Flock. These young birds were put in predator-resistant pens at Necedah near other free-ranging whooping cranes including pairs of adults without chicks of their own.
These whooping-crane couples tend to adopt other chicks and when it comes time to migrate the adults will lead the fledglings southward.
Last year two parent-reared birds successfully migrated Olsen said. Most likely the chicks raised by adoptive parents will pair up with birds raised by humans.
It's hoped that the adopted chicks will be able to pass along good parenting habits.
The scientists will have to wait a few years before they know whether they've been successful as whooping cranes don't typically start nesting until they're about 3 years old.

#Stress Makes Antarctic Penguins Less-Attentive Parents Stress induced by changes in Antarctic sea ice may cause adult male Adã lie penguins to be less attentive to their chicks and may increase chick mortality according to a new study.
and more time at their nests but were less attentive to their chicks while at their nests compared to untreated adult males the team reported in the Feb 4 online issue of the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology.
Each male had two chicks at the start of the experiment but by the end after the pellets had degraded completely many of the treated males had lost one of their two chicks to predators
or other unknown causes of death whereas untreated males did not experience this loss. The findings suggest that the stressed males allocated their resources to support one chick
because they were unable to support two study co-author Anne-Mathilde Thierry told Live Science.
On eastern Antarctica's Petrel Island not a single chick has survived the 2013-2014 summer season among the 20000 breeding pairs that live there Thierry said.
The loss of those chicks underscores the importance of follow-up studies regarding how environmental change will influence penguin population growth
This will help reveal how the penguins spend their time away from their chicks and could help pinpoint nuanced behavioral changes associated with elevated levels of stress hormones Thierry said.
In doing so the cuckoo tricks the other bird often a different smaller species into taking on the expensive burden of raising the chick.
The cuckoo chick usually hatches first and grows faster forcing the other chicks out of the nest where they then die.
It then gets the full attention of its adoptive parents giving it much greater chances of survival.</
