2. Bird Repellers in Action June 24, 2009 How do bird repellers work? You first have to understand the bird brain. A natural instinct and a daily necessity of a bird are spending hours foraging for food. Some species of birds are considered very intelligent. Scientists even believe that birds can solve problems and learn by example, similar to how children learn. The crow, for example, has been observed placing walnuts in the intersections during a red light so that when the light turns green the cars will run over the nut and crack it open. The bird then flies into the intersection, when the coast is clear, and picks up his bou... (read more) Author: . .

4. The Sentricon System Of Eliminating Termite March 02, 2009 The Sentricon system is marketed as a termite colony elimination system. In order for a colony elimination system to work, the bait must affect every termite in the colony. Worker termites do all of the foraging, so how does the bait get from the worker termites to the rest of the colony? Remember that the worker termites are responsible for feeding all of their nestmates. They do this by consuming food themselves then regurgitating part of it into the mouths of the other colony members. This same natural behavior is exploited by the Sentricon system to disperse the bait toxicant through... (read more) Author: Jesus Saku

10. One of World's Rarest Rhinos Caught on Video in Indonesia May 29, 2008 One of the world's rarest rhinos has been caught on video by specially designed cameras installed in the jungles of Java, Indonesia. The video shows a female Javan rhino - accompanied by her calf - foraging before charging the camera and sending the equipment flying off its stand. The video trap was designed by Stephen Hogg of the WWF, formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund.

WWF says there are fewer than 60 Javan rhinos left in the wi... (read more)

Before you run to the nearest interior design store, consider looking to the forests instead.
