Blue Bird of paradise

I love the Blue Bird of paradise! The males have brilliant colors of blue,black and orange. I love the way the males display. They dance for a female and show off their feathers in a way that makes it look like a big face! The females are mostly brown with some white on their belly.They are amazing birds! I am very sorry but I do not know very much about the Blue Bird of paradise. It is very interesting when it dances and so I decided to have a link listed here so you can watch a video of one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3f5p6Ero-I    I hope you enjoy it!

Lovely Carnation

I love Dianthus caryophllus! They are better known as the Carnation. They can be red,pink,white,purple,yellow and orange. Carnations are great flowers when it comes to Valentines day! They look beautiful. Sometimes they have more than one color. Some might be plain yellow and others might be white and purple. If you want to know more about the Dianthus caryophllus than here is a link you can go too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianthus_caryophyllus I am so sorry that I don't ave more information! I hope you enjoy the information that I was able to provide for you!

Gray Fox

Do you like Urocyon cinereoargenteus? The are also known as Gray foxes. Gray foxes live to be about 5-10 years. They are omnivores. They eat small mammals, carrion,fish,insects,nuts and fruit.They have about 1-7 kits once a year in April and May. They live in forest,river valleys and rocky outcrops.  They are gray and have rusty red shoulders and chest.They have  a white chin,neck and belly.Gray foxes are mostly nocturnal. Urocyon is Greek for tailed dog. Cinereoargenteus is Latin for gray and black. I saw a Gray fox the other day and it was awesome! It wanted to eat my chickens. It would of, but my Husky/German Shepard dog chased it away. I have binoculars and they work great! I saw it run away. They are uncommon to see where I live! So I probably won't see any soon. I wish I had some pictures, but the camera was upstairs.  Here is a link that will show you pictures and that will tell you more about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_fox
