HAPPY CAMPERS
It’s summer Animal Camp season at the TeamPetsHome. Each Monday, a new group of 40 eight to twelve-year-olds visits our campus for a week-long day camp led by our Humane Education and Outreach Coordinator — Miss Darlenne to the kids — and her talented team of junior counselors.

This popular TeamPetsHome mainstay since the 1980s offers children a unique mix of fun and educational hands-on experiences that nurture compassion and respect for all living things, and makes a difference for animals in our care. And, every now and then, the kids work their parents over and end up adopting a dog, cat, bunny, guinea pig, snake or bird they’ve met during the week!

My two kids are three-year camp veterans and they enjoyed camp this summer every bit as much as they did our first summer here in 2016. No doubt, Audrey will apply for a counselor position when she’s eligible, age-wise, in a few years.

No camps offer what we do. Campers learn about animal-related jobs from professional guest speakers including TeamPetsHome Humane Investigators and Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation staff technicians. They make enrichment toys which they get to give to shelter animals. They hike our oak-studded, 200-acre campus. And, of course, plenty of fur fixes with animals in our main adoption center and barn. This week, a kid cannonballed into our pond. That’s definitely NOT in the brochure or part of the program…kids will be kids!

Education programs aren’t easy to measure in terms of their success or impact on the kids. Still, we get the feedback we need. Kids, like my own, want to come back for seconds (and thirds!). Campers apply to be counselors — far more than we can accept. Campers have joined our staff, years after their camp experience.

As a former teacher, I can’t imagine not having camp and other kids programs, and fully believe they are at the heart of our mission. We’re teaching kids not to make the mistakes we see adults making, we’re fostering compassion and empathy in kids already leaning that way. We meet kids who are hesitant, if not fearful, because all they’ve ever experienced is neglected, “scary” dogs.

In addition to the changes we see firsthand, we receive loads of anecdotal information, like kids who tell us they convinced their parents to spay or neuter the family dog or cat or bring that family pet indoors, to make them part of the family.

My day today started with this message from an TeamPetsHome friend, which I couldn’t wait to share with Darlenne and her team.

“I was in veterinary ophthalmology office yesterday with Chex for post-surgery follow-up. Chex was wearing his cone, practically glued to me. Not thrilled to be there. A little girl, sitting next to us, asked (very sweetly) if she could pet Chex. Hmmmm. Strange place, wearing cone, unknown little girl, Chex is rarely, if ever, around kids. What could possibly go wrong? I said ‘yes’ and asked her to go very slowly. The kid was a pro. She moved slowly, sat on the floor, didn’t crowd him, held out her hand for Chex to sniff. She spoke soooooooo softly and was very gentle. She rubbed the side of his face very gently and told him he was a good boy. I asked if she would like to give him a Charley Bear (always in my pocket) and before I could get all ‘instructive’ she put the treat on the flat of her hand, offered it slowly, and Chex took it very gently. ‘You did a really nice job. Thank you for asking first and for being so gentle,’ I said.

‘I learned how to do it at TeamPetsHome camp,’ she replied. Kudos to your Humane Education Team!”

If you have children or know any who might enjoy our unique experience, please spread the word. Camp is a hot ticket, but we have a few remaining spots in some of the summer sessions.

Avian Articles

macaw parrots for sale
Parrots try to communicate with humans through body language, actions and vocalizations. Here are some basic parrot behaviours to give you the ability to understand what parrots are trying to communicate to humans. Conure for adoption Knowing these behaviours will give you a better understanding in order to have a successful communicative relationship with your feathered companion. conure for adoption

Parrot Behaviours:
Beaking
indian ringneck parrot for sale
Baby parrots go through a nibbling stage. They are checking out their environment. Everything has different textures. In this nibbling stage do not let your bird use your fingers or other parts of your body. Give your bird something more appropriate like a toy or other acceptable object.

Beak grinding
A sign that your bird is relaxed, very secure and content with its environment. Your bird is just about to go to sleep.

Beak wiping
To clean debris off its beak after eating. It will also keep the beak in condition.

Biting or nipping
Your bird uses this as a last resort for communication with you as you have not responded to previous communication attempts. There is always a reason. It could be anger or frustration (displaced aggression), cornered, displaying, dominance, excessive petting or fondling from the owner, hunger, jealousy, scared, startled, threatened or tired. If an intruder is nearby, your bird may bite you to get you to flee. Sometimes during the mating season, parrots may bite. When your parrot is in this mood, it is best to leave it alone at the time, until your bird is out of this mood. Parrots for adoption

Bottom of the cage hiding under paper
Your bird may be sleeping there. It could be nesting parrot behaviour. It may be frightening. Or could indicate that your bird is ill, especially if it is lethargic and feathers are puffed up. In this case, an avian veterinarian should be seen, pronto. Macaw for adoption

Bouncing up and down
Your bird is very happy. Your bird is trying to get your attention and wants to come out of its cage.

Chattering loudly
Chattering loudly can happen when your home is noisier than normal. If the loud noises quieted down, so will your bird.

Chewing
Most parrots just love to chew! It is a stimulating activity for your bird. Chewing helps keep your bird’s beak in excellent condition and helps to burn off excess energy.

We offer a great selection of chewable parrot toys.

Crouching low and holding fluttering wings slightly away from the body
Your bird is begging you to pet it.

Displaying
A sign of aggression. A strutting parrot exhibiting a fanned tail, strutting, ruffled nape and back feathers with head feathers held tight against the head with pupil dilation and crouching very low and the beak open. Sometimes there are also vocal sounds accompanying this parrot behaviour. Some birds will also wipe the beak on a perch. When your bird is exhibiting this type of behaviour, it is recommended not to pick up your bird, as this is a good way to get bitten. Your bird does this to attract a potential mate which may be you or to frighten off an intruder or rival. Parrots for adoption

Drooping wings
After a bath or misting, your bird will do this to dry off. Your bird may be hot and this would be a way to cool itself. Also, it can mean that your bird is not feeling well.

Eyes pinning or flashing
ringneck parrot eye
Pinning – eyes dilate, contract and the process keeps repeating. Your bird may pin its eyes when it is aggressive, excited, frighten, pleased, sexually excited or upset. Watch out! If you pick up your bird, your bird will bite. Leave the bird alone. Wait until your bird is out of this mood before picking bird up. Macaw for adoption

Fluffing
Is often done after a good preening session. This releases the shed keratin (bird dust) into the air and realigns the feathers to their proper place.

Growling
This may be a warning signal that your bird is upset. Leave your bird alone for the moment and approach your bird later when your bird has calmed down. Or your bird has learned this sound from your dog.

Hanging on the cage wall
Your bird may be resting there or playing. Or the perches may have fallen. Your bird could also be frightened.

Hanging upside down
A lot of birds enjoy doing this activity. Your bird may walk across the ceiling of the cage, hang by one toe or even swing upside down. Your bird is just having fun.

Moulting
macaw parrot molting
Your bird will lose some feathers throughout the year or will lose some feathers over a period of a few months. Each species is different. It also depends on the environment. Your bird will remove loose, old feathers that are being pushed out by the new ones coming in. Your bird will have pin feathers (feathers covered in a white keratin – hard plastic coating). The coating will come off when preened and a new feather will emerge. The keratin coating is protecting the new feather as it is growing which is filled with blood. Parrots for adoption

If you hear your bird muttering quietly to itself. This is an indication that all is great in its world. Your bird is feeling very safe and content. Also, your bird is practicing new words and sounds that it has been learning. One day when your bird is confident that it has it right, this soft muttering will turn into a loud word, phrase, song or whistle. Parrots for adoption

Your cologne, freshly washed hair (shampoo), hair spray and fumes will irritate the nostrils. There may be an ear infection. Restrain your bird properly in a towel, lightly blow the ear covers aside and look in the ear canal. Look for abnormal redness, discharge or protrusions. Smell the ear. If it has a strong, unpleasant odour, like popcorn or rotting cheese, you have an infection. Take your bird to an avian veterinarian.

Your bird is straightening out its tail feathers during a grooming session. It also could be a sign of happiness at the sight of its owner.

Trembling

Vent rubbing
This tends to happen on the onslaught of spring. Male or female birds will do this as their hormones start to rage. Females will rub up against favourite toys, humans and flat surfaces. Males will rub themselves on perches, favourite toys and humans. This is a natural urge for them. It feels good. It does not mean that you need to go out and adopt a new companion bird for your bird. It does not mean that your bird needs a mate or to adopt your bird to a breeder to make it happy. Just ignore the incident and it will eventually will work itself out of your bird’s system as the mating season comes to an end. Occasionally, this becomes a behavioural problem. Sometimes it can stem from a medical problem as well. Like for instance a tumour on the brain. If this is the case, consult an avian veterinarian and then an avian behaviour consultant.

Your bird does this when a feather is out of place and trying to realign it. It could also mean annoyance or displeasure.

Your bird may be scared with what you are wearing. Or there is something new in its area. Your bird is in a mood or may be tired and needs its privacy. May not be feeling well. Parrots for adoption

Yawning

Are blue macaws an endangered species?
Macaw for adoption
In 2011, the animated film “Rio” was released in theaters and brought to light a problem that many had been ignoring for a long time: the devastating crisis of bird extinction around the world, focusing on a specific bird, the macaw. blue. And it is that in 2018, this species was declared extinct in the wild and its survival seems to hang by a thread. hyacinth macaw for adoption

In this article, we will talk about their current conservation status and answer the question of whether Blue Macaws are really in danger of extinction.

Let’s meet the blue Macaw
Is the blue macaw extinct?
Why is the blue macaw critically endangered?
Let’s meet the blue Macaw

The first thing to clarify when talking about the blue macaw is that its name does not refer to a specific bird species. Contrary to what most people think, the term refers to four different species. The species commonly included in the term belong to the Psittacidae family, and all have a characteristic blue plumage. hyacinth macaw for adoption

The Psittacidae family is one of the three families of parrots and includes more than 160 species of macaws and parakeets. There are four species of Blue Macaws in two different genera: Anodorhynchus and Cyanopsitta.

Despite belonging to different genera, the four species have several things in common, apart from the exotic blue plumage. In terms of size, behavior, and appearance, males and females are very similar. In addition, they all have strong beaks to crush the seeds they feed on. Finally, they all have prehensile legs that allow them to grasp fruits, branches, and other objects. hyacinth macaw for adoption

Members of the Psittacidae family are found in both Africa and South America, but the blue species are only found in Brazil.

Is the blue macaw extinct?
In 2018, the news that the Spix’s Macaw had been declared extinct in the wild was widely discussed on social media. The survival of this species seemed far from promising at the time, with fewer than 100 specimens still alive and in captivity. Macaw for adoption

Despite all the odds, the bird population has increased more than anticipated. Thanks to the efforts of various organizations around the world, Spix’s Macaw still has a chance of survival. macaw for adoption

The first step before returning this species to the wild was to ensure a sufficiently large and healthy population with genetic diversity. This is not an easy task to accomplish, especially when few specimens remain.

The next step was to find a suitable home for the birds. The site had to offer optimal conditions for birds and had to be protected from human influences.

hyacinth macaw for adoption

The last step was to sensitize the local population on this issue. It is the only effective way to ensure a positive coexistence between humans and the Spix’s Macaw. Blue Macaw for adoption

Currently, several educational actions are being carried out in the vicinity of the planned reintroduction area. Its objective is to make residents aware of the importance of this bluebird for their region and its environment.

The future of the blue macaw is unknown, and there is still a long way to go before it can be declared non-threatened. Meanwhile, his status remains listed as critically endangered. macaw for adoption

Why is the blue macaw critically endangered?
The four species that are currently known as blue macaws are in danger of extinction. However, this crisis does not affect only the blue macaw, but the entire Psittacidae family. Nearly half of all parrot species are endangered and nearly 25% of species are critically endangered. Blue Macaw for adoption

The main reasons for this gradual disappearance of the species are several. These include:

Growth of cities.
Deforestation of the jungles and forests inhabited by the blue macaw.
Pollution.
Climate change.
Illegal traffic to be sold as pets.
Using their feathers to make decorations.
A low birth rate of the species.
Lack of adequate food sources for birds.
Infiltration of other animal species in the habitat.

Because of Her
The holidays are here whether you’re ready or not. The Budweiser Clydesdales are popular this time of year and their commercials are super cute and clever, but I have something that will pull at your heartstrings even more.

Last month around this time, a local resident surrendered two dogs, saying he could no longer care for them. This happens daily at TeamPetsHome. The owner explained that they were both backyard dogs, left outdoors 24/7 in fact, and he noted one was highly unsocial. During our intake evaluation, we found this dog to be shy, but friendly. Once staff spent more time with her, a wiggly, playful dog emerged; one we knew we could safely rehome. What we didn’t know at the time was the right match was just around the corner.

On a sleepy, drizzly Monday two weeks ago, a man visited the TeamPetsHome. He spent a good amount of time with this same dog, quietly sitting together in one of our adoption rooms. We told him not to rush, we’d even stay late for him. He decided to adopt, and was especially grateful for our Pets for Vets program. We waive adoption fees for active or retired military.

We encourage all adopters to keep in touch; we want to know how our animals are doing in their new homes. It’s one thing to know our adoptions “stick” and that more than 90% of animals adopted from the TeamPetsHome aren’t returned (compare that to our state’s divorce rate!). It’s another to receive a message like this, written by our adopter about his new girl:

Because of her, I wake up before my alarm goes off instead of snoozing several times and being late for work. Because of her, I go for a walk in the morning and see the sunrise, the most soul-cleansing time of the day. Because of her, I sit down and have a cup of coffee in the morning instead of rushing to work, she gets time to eat and play while I get ready for my day. Because of her, I look forward to going home at night instead of finding some way to avoid my apartment. My apartment feels like a home, for the first time since I moved here two years ago. Because of her, I talk to people on our walks instead of avoiding human interaction. Because of her, we go for walks in places I wouldn’t go by myself and experience things that are new to both of us. Because of her, I wake up to kisses on the face and unconditional love. Because of her, I won’t be alone for the holidays, and that changes everything. Seriously….thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Because of her, a life has been changed forever. Because of him, so has hers!

Happy Holidays!

TeamPetsHome Offering Free Deer Whistle, Tips for Driving Safely Around Deer
TeamPetsHome Monterey County advises drivers to use extreme caution when driving to avoid hitting deer on area roadways this time of year. Fall is deer mating season on the central coast and deer are significantly more likely to be on the move near and across roadways.

The TeamPetsHome advises:

Be particularly careful at dawn and dusk when driving, especially where visibility is limited. Use of high beams when appropriate can provide a greater area of visibility.
Slow down and use extreme caution when approaching a deer standing near the side of a road. Be prepared for the deer to enter the roadway in front of the vehicle. If necessary, honk your horn and flash your lights to try to scare the deer off of the roadway.
Be alert for more deer than you may see at that moment. Where there’s one deer, there are almost always more nearby.
Use extra caution in areas where deer crossing signs are posted. These are areas where deer are known to cross roadways.
Be particularly cautious in wooded and agricultural areas.
Call The TeamPetsHome immediately if you see any injured or orphaned wildlife. Thanks to the support of donors like you, we help over 2,500 injured and orphaned wild animals every year.
New this year! The TeamPetsHome is offering free Save-A-Deer whistles to anyone in our community who would like them. When mounted to a vehicle, car, truck, or motorcycle moving at 35 mph or faster, the deer whistle makes a sound that alerts deer of the approaching vehicle and can assist with accident prevention. While not 100% effective, deer usually react to the whistle by stopping, looking, and listening to determine if they are being threatened. To pick up your free deer whistle, please visit the SPCA Monterey County Animal Shelter.

Locally, areas of greatest deer activity at night are Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley Road, the Highway 68 corridor, Holman Highway, River Road, and Highway 1 from Seaside to south of Carmel.

So far in 2022, the TeamPetsHome Wildlife Center has responded to 53 reports of deer hit by cars, with most of those sadly being fatalities. In September, we responded to 6 deer calls, and so far in October we received three calls.

In 2021 The TeamPetsHome responded to 46 reports, with almost all the deer involved either dead on arrival or needing to be humanely euthanized immediately. The average insurance claim for deer/vehicle collisions in the United States is over $4,000 per incident.

Cats vs Dogs. Who should be taken?
Many people dream of having a pet. They give love, help relieve stress, and offer devotion and friendship. According to recent studies, pet owners experience less stress and anxiety. They also have less cholesterol in their blood, and their blood pressure will return to normal. Therefore, having a furry friend can be a lifeline in some cases.

But who to choose between a cat and a dog? These animals should be brighter and more pleasant than rabbits, hamsters, or fish. Having a kitten or dog has pros and cons. If you carefully study all aspects of the issues and watch some videos on this topic, you will be ready.

What to Look for When Choosing?

To start choosing between a cat and a dog, you need to estimate the time for the pet. Remember that dogs are more friendly, need a lot of attention, and walk twice daily. Kittens, in this regard, are less pretentious and like to stay at home alone and feel good without too much attention from the owner.

It is also essential to consider how much money you are willing to spend. Usually, purebred puppies are more expensive than purebred kittens. You can always go to a shelter and find your furry friend if you don’t have a budget.

Also, deciding what kind of pet you would like is not enough. Dogs and cats have many breeds with their characteristics, from appearance to health. Some breeds are very fluffy and shed a lot. They will often have to be cleaned up.

Equipment for Cats or Dogs

For a comfortable pet stay, a variety of accessories is required. It needs a bowl for food and water, preferably ceramic. So that they do not spoil the furniture, you need to install a scratching post and trim their claws regularly. A brush is used for fur care. And so that the fluffy does not get bored when you are not at home, buy it toys.

The mandatory list for dogs includes:

a collar and leash,
a muzzle (for large breeds),
bowls for food and water,
toys (dogs need special ones),
brushes for hair, teeth,
bedding.
Difference Between Cat and Dog Nutrition

In order to your pet friend does not suffer from diseases and lives an active life, they need exceptional food. Breeders do not recommend feeding animals from the table but choosing special feeds. Of course, you can order it on Amazon or any pet store near you.

The amount of food depends on the size of the pet. Apparently, kittens eat less than dogs.

Grooming

Usually, cats are not bathed, but they must be regularly combed and cut claws not to damage your cool wallpapers. Dogs are bathed after each walk. At least they wash their paws. They need to have their teeth brushed.

Dogs breeds and cats are equally prone to infection with fleas, ticks, worms, and other pests. The cure is difficult and, in some cases, can be even impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out preventive therapy: use collars, shampoos, vaccinate, etc. So, the maintenance in a veterinary clinic is necessary.

Do Cats or Dogs Live Longer?

Each breed and animal has its health characteristics. Cats, on average live 12-15 years and more with good care. Dogs average live – about 16 years.

Training

As a rule, no one is engaged in raising cats. These are freedom-loving and independent pets. Cat training is usually not necessary. They come to caress when they want, choose their place of rest, and know what personal boundaries are (sometimes unlike the owners).

The only thing to take care of is getting accustomed to the tray and litter box. But if you get a thoroughbred kitten from a breeder, its mother has already done it. You must show your pet where his tray and box are in the new house.

But since dogs are more active and sociable, puppies must be trained. It is especially true for large dog breeds. However, small dogs need training as well. Especially, if you are going to take it with you on trips, and it is very active running in the car. There are specialists who help people to train up their pets. Yes, you need to engage with a cytologist. This expert knows well how to train your dogs, some special methods to make a pet obedient. However, it means that you will have to set aside time for lessons.

Other Benefits Can Pets Bring

In addition to the aesthetic function and friendship, pets can bring certain benefits to the owners. Cats, being natural hunters, can hunt mice if you live in a country house. They are also believed to have a therapeutic effect: relieve headaches and joint pain, and normalize blood pressure. But it depends on the individual animal and how close you are to your pet. Besides, they are so cute, so people make funny cat videos that decrease stress and improve mood.

Large dog breeds can serve as watchdogs, especially if you live in a home. Also, which species were created as nannies for young children. And if you are a hunter, the dog will help you during your hobby.

In any case, whoever you choose, you must understand that this is a very responsible step. Don’t consider it as an usual dads day gift. A pet’s life will depend entirely on you, and he will give his love and friendship. Therefore, it is crucial to assess your capabilities.
