#Fireworks

The issue with fireworks is that some people are not aware or simply just forget that fireworks have a huge negative affect on wildlife and even on domestic animals. Especially when living in the countryside. Our dogs for example get crazy, act completely irrational and even endanger themselves.

Fireworks greatly disturb wildlife around here, cause fear, stress and anxiety to poor animals. They panic, abandon their nests, burrows, logs, trees and flee their natural environment leaving their young behind without any chances to survive on their own. Also fireworks are always of course, initiated at night when birds can’t fly. Why can’t they fly? Because they just don’t see in the dark. So they’re panicking; flying around and don’t know where to land, get short of breath, hit trees or buildings, have heart attacks to finally die and fall down on the ground.

That is very, but very cruel.

It does not only happen in my countryside but also in cities everywhere around the World.

So before initiating fireworks people, please have a special attention of what’s living around you.

It happened before, it still happening and will happen again.

This is our very good friend Diane. She's about 5 to 6 years old; a wingspan of appr 47", a height around 30" and a mass between 2 to 3 pounds. She's the largest and the heaviest in her species.

And right now she needs a hand to feed her kids. The Spring season has just started; the wildlife and breeding Season isn't complete yet for most animals. So the Ravens have practically nothing to eat and to feed their kids. Even Ducks, the Mallards, have been coming here every night for the last 4 weeks to eat sunflower seeds dropped on the ground by birds.

Now everybody knows what Ravens eat, so it is pretty easy to imaging that during Winters Ravens have nothing to eat. They're not small cities Crows eating garbage, fast food or whatever. Many people feed birds, in general, but no one helps Ravens. Probably because it's expensive or they just don't care. They have survive because of their independence. So it is precisely why we decided to help them.

It took us over a year to attract this couple, Jack and Diane, in our land. We've been helping them survive for over 3 years now with 2 of their past generations. These guys adore chicken eggs, chicken hearts, fresh pork meat, pork liver, pieces of whole wheat bread and unshelled peanuts.

It's like having pets except they live outside. Wild and free.

Even by helping them to survive for over 3 years now, with 2 of their past generations, Ravens are still teaching their siblings to be extremely mistrustful/distrustful toward humans. Every time youngsters approach the land, a squawking sound by one of the parent, from the big dead spruce, can be heard. Meaning, go away!

Who can blame them!!!

They trust us, but kids have to learn the basic rules about Ravens and Humans. And if you have read the history of Ravens vs Humans, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
