Cases of severe poisoning are mostly seen with grazing animals who've eaten a lot of the plant, but swallowing a little mistletoe isn't likely to be life-threatening. 5. Mistletoe also has ...
Grazing behaviour is a type of feeding strategy within the ecology of a species. Specific grazing strategies include graminivory (eating grasses); coprophagy (producing part-digested pellets which are reingested); pseudoruminant (having a multi-chambered stomach but not chewing the cud); and grazing on plants other than grass, such as on marine ...
A mute swan grazing. Avian foraging refers to the range of activities and behaviours exhibited by birds in their quest for food. In addition to their unique body adaptations, birds have a range of described behaviours that differ from the foraging behaviours of other animal groups.
The mountain plover (Anarhynchus montanus) is a medium-sized ground bird in the plover family (Charadriidae).It is misnamed, as it lives on level land. Unlike most plovers, it is usually not found near bodies of water or even on wet soil; it prefers dry habitat with short grass (usually due to grazing) and bare ground.
The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 set up grazing districts for the management and regulation of rangelands. [17] Invasive crested wheatgrass was introduced by the US government in the 1930s for use as forage for grazing cattle. [6] The habitat for prairie dogs, black-footed ferrets, bison, wolves and grizzly bears shrank dramatically. [8]
Grassland birds, particularly those of the shortgrass prairie, are one North America's fastest declining groups of animals. Some of birds still inhabiting the shortgrass prairie are the Cassin's sparrow, loggerhead shrike, sandhill crane, scaled quail, Swainson's hawk, burrowing owl, mountain plover and thick-billed longspur. Although the ...
Ed Gernon probably didn't expect to add a hummingbird to his household pet list, but an unusual event brought him, his dog and a little bird all together. Hummingbird and dog who helped save her ...

Different terms are used for similar groupings in other species; in the case of birds, for example, the word is flocking, but flock may also be used for mammals, particularly sheep or goats.
