by Janet Spencer On October 1, 1919, the Mormon church of Salt Lake City unveiled a monument to a bird. Mormon settlers were tending their ripening crops in 1848 when a plague of crickets descended, threatening to ruin the harvest. Fortunately, flocks of seagulls arrived, eating all the crickets. The Seagull Monument, designed by Brigham Young’s grandson, is thought to be the world’s only monument to a bird. The seagull is now the state bird of Utah.

• The term “gull” refers to a group of 23 North American species belonging to the family Laridae, which comes from the Greek word meaning “ravenous sea bird.”

• Seagulls usually mate for life, but researchers say they do get “divorced” sometimes. Their divorce rate is about 3 to 5% a year.

• A seagull’s feet stay at only 32°f. while the rest of the body’s temperature is 100°f.

• When gulls get mad, they yank grass up by the roots to displace their aggression.

• The herring gull has 63 different calls.

• Gulls can live for up to 32 years.

SEAGULLS (cont’d)

• Seagulls have been seen stamping their feet in unison to imitate rainfall to trick earthworms to come to the surface.

• Gulls are able to drink both fresh and salt water. Most animals are unable to do this, but gulls have a pair of glands above their eyes designed to flush the salt from their systems through openings in the bill.

SEAGULL FACTS

• In a gull colony, when one gull sounds the alarm, the entire flock will take to the safety of the skies. However, some gulls are more skittish than others and frequently sound the alarm when it’s not necessary. Observers report that the alarm calls of the jitteriest gulls are routinely ignored by the rest of the colony, just like the boy who cried wolf.

• One ornithologist noted that gulls can be cannibalistic at times, feeding not only on the young of other species of gull, but also occasionally eating their own offspring.

The researcher further noted that cannibalism inevitably increased every single Sunday. Why? Because one of their main food sources came from following fishing trawlers on the ocean. None of the trawlers went out on Sundays because they were all at church.

• A scientist who was capturing and banding gulls was frequently bombarded A walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says,resented “Hey byguyangry mobs of the birds who doctor, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken!” The doctor says, “Why don’t you bring him in for treatment?” the intrusion. Other people could walk The guy replies, “I would, but I need the eggs!” through the colony without arousing any attention from the birds, but whenever he set foot near them, they would gang up on him. He tried disguising himself by wearing different clothing and wigs, but they always recognized him. Finally he donned a mask, and the problem was solved. He concluded they recognized him by his facial features.

SEAGULL FACTS & FASCINATION • A company golf driving range was opened for employees of Smith and Wesson in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1984. It had to close in short order when flocks of seagulls mistook the white golf balls for edible clams.

The gulls picked up the balls and dropped them from heights, bombarding executives, motorists, and innocent bystanders with falling golf balls.

• When an estimated 7,000 seagulls took up residence at the Monmouth County landfill in New Jersey, officials decided to drive them away by using trained falcons to hunt them.

The entire flock of seagulls subsequently vacated the landfill, and moved into a local neighborhood. They roosted on rooftops and bombarded the vicinity with poop, often hitting pedestrians. The falcons were removed from the landfill after officials decided it was best to have 7,000 seagulls pooping in a landfill than pooping in a subdivision.

• The smallest gull species in most of North America is called the Bonaparte’s gull, named after Charles Lucien Bonaparte, a nephew of Napoleon, who was a leading ornithologist in the 1800s. This is only one of a very few species of gull that prefers to nest in trees.

• The lava gull has adapted to volcanic islands and is black from bill to wing tip. The swallowtailed gull, native to the Galapagos Islands, is actually nocturnal—which is far from the norm. This bird often specializes in hunting squid, swooping down in the moonlight to capture its prey.

• The California gull has a unique way of catching alkali flies which congregate in dense clusters along the shores of salty lakes in the Great Basin. It starts at one end of a huge raft of flies sitting on the beach and runs through the flies with its head down and bill open, snapping up flies.

BIRD EGGS

• Eggs are egg-shaped instead of round so that if they roll around, they will roll in a circle instead of rolling away from the nest.

• The pattern of dots and splotches of camouflaging color on each bird egg is as individual as a fingerprint.

• Some birds can lay an egg a mere 24 hours after mating.

• When plenty of food is available, birds will tend to lay a larger clutch of eggs.

• Some birds will continue to lay eggs until the nest feels full. They can be tricked into laying eggs continuously if the eggs are removed from the nest. A flicker tricked in such a manner once laid 71 eggs in 73 days.

• The robin’s egg may be colored blue in order to reflect damaging rays of the sun.

• The main ingredient of eggshell is calcium carbonate, the same stuff in chalk, limestone, shells, coral, and pearls.

• A female pigeon in solitary confinement will not lay eggs. Pigeons must be able to see other pigeons in order to become fertile. Their own reflection in a mirror does the job nicely.

• The kiwi of New Zealand lays the largest egg relative to body weight. A single egg, which takes 4 to 5 days to be laid, weighs about a pound . The mother only weighs about 4 lbs. herself. After she lays the egg, the male takes over incubation, guarding the egg for the next 10 weeks.

• Although the endangered whooping crane usually lays two eggs, it will only bring one egg to term. In order to boost the whooping crane population, ornithologists remove one egg and put it in the nest of a sandhill crane instead. The sandhill crane becomes the surrogate parent of the whooping crane chick.

• In the early 1980s, scientists were eagerly watching a pair of rare California condors who were incubating their single egg. Unfortunately, the pair got into an argument over whose turn it was to sit on the egg. As they each jostled for position, horrified scientists watched as the egg rolled off the cliff to smash on the rocks below. The condors mated again and laid a second egg within a few weeks.

However, ravens raided the nest and that egg was lost too.

• Homing pigeons usually fly about 50 m.p.h.

One way to get a female racing pigeon to fly faster in a race is to take her newly-laid eggs away from her and replace them with eggs that are just about to hatch. When she is then removed from the nest and shipped to the starting point of the race, she will fly as fast as she can to get back to her nest before the eggs hatch.

• All female ostriches lay their eggs in a single large nest, which is then protected by the dominant hen. But she can only incubate about 20 eggs at a time. She pushes all the surplus eggs out of the nest, where they perish. But she never, ever pushes her own eggs out of the nest. Scientists marked eggs and rearranged time and time again in order to prove that she always pushes other eggs out, but never her own. It is not known how a female ostrich recognizes her own eggs, unless it is by the pattern of pits on its surface that allow the chick inside to breathe.

Boot Camp 2

The BelT of TruTh and BreasTplaTe of righTeousness We are being equipped and trained to use the Armor of God in our life battle against the enemy. The first part of our armor is the belt of truth securely strapped around our core (waist).

Our core is the vital foundation of all of our body’s movement.

It gives us a strong firm spine and stability in facing spiritual battles. Knowing the truth is the foundation of our stance with God. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life”......... ”You will know the truth and the truth will set you free”.

The next piece of armor is the breastplate of righteousness.

It protects our vital organs which include the heart, lungs, kidneys and other body parts. Keeping our heart protected is critical in facing our enemy. The breastplate protects us in doing the right thing by loving God with all our heart. The first 2 pieces of armor, the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness, are essential in equipping us to fight with the warfare given to us through the victory at the cross. Next week we will continue to put on the Armor of God.

The Fascinating World of Seniors

It’s not only here in the U.S. -- seniors around the globe are being studied by researchers. We must be fascinating! ● Amsterdam: Researchers studied whether interventions after discharge from the hospital could keep chronically ill patients from being readmitted in the short, intermediate and long term.

They looked at studies from 1980 to 2013, so they had plenty of information.

Results: Intermediate- and long-term readmissions saw a reduction with general transitional care, but shortterm readmissions were reduced only with high-intensity interventions. Those include a home visit within three days after discharge, plus care coordination by a nurse. ● Europe: Researchers discovered that those over age 70 who assessed themselves as having ill health did so more in countries that assigned a lower “value” to seniors. Across various European cultures, the higher the status of the elderly, the better the seniors claimed they felt. ● United Kingdom: It used to be that vitamin D was thought to help prevent cardiovascular disease. Now, after five years of study, researchers say that it won’t prevent heart attack or stroke.

They suspect that low vitamin D levels are due to a sedentary lifestyle. More research is needed, they say. ● Canada: There is no benefit to arthroscopic knee surgery for agerelated tears. In mild osteoarthritis, doctors need to weigh the costs versus benefits of surgery, and opt for nonoperative interventions first. ● Taiwan: In a long study of married couples, it was learned that a husband’s health impacts the health of the wife.

When a husband’s health declined, the wife’s glucose levels increase. But when a wife’s health declined, the husband’s glucose levels remained the same.

Possible reasons: A wife may feel isolated and depressed, and an inadequate diet (from being so busy) can raise the glucose levels -- and the risk of diabetes.
