No this is not a joke. I have many bird and actually enjoy the antics of the tree rats. I have fox squirrel and greys. Last several years some the greys have solid white ears and larger then most greys. Asked our local Ag. Agent and many wildlife buffs. I did online seaches also too with no answers. One know it all farmer thought they were wanna be albino squirrels.
We enjoy these white eared tree rats and feed them. Does anyone have any info about them?
We buy birdseed, and we also put out apples, oatmeal, and peanut-butter.
What else is good ?

David Attenborough presents the amazing lyre bird, which mimics the calls of other birds – and chainsaws and camera shutters – in this video clip from The Life of Birds. This clever creature is one of the most impressive and funny in nature, with unbelievable sounds to match the beautiful pictures. From the BBC.

my brother and i found quite a large baby bird in my backyard the other day. it had been sitting there all day. when we looked up to try and replace it back in a nest we saw nothing near us that looked like one. i brought the baby bird back into my house and since i work at a petstore im keeping it in a box with shavings some cotton and a towel. yesterday it ate some crickets and seemed to keep a few of them down. this morning i woke up and tried to feed it again and it does not seem to want to eat. my boss said that i should call some wildlife person but since i live in the middle of who knows where kansas im not sure where i need to call. does anybody know any wildlife “people” i can call to help me?
This homemade bird feeder is constructed from only recycled materials. The goldfinches and tits in the garden love it. It has a high capacity so you don’t have to go in and out filling it up all the time. For more bird feeders and crafts using recycled materials go to www.recycle-crafts.com

I like feeding wildlife too, don’t get me wrong but his pile of seeds attracts pigeons, squirrels, rats and who knows what else. When the seeds get rotten, he hoses the whole mess down and it floods my yard! Oh yes, we live in a big city, not a rural area.
Right now there are over 30 pigeons out on the electric and phone wires and they are making a mess on everything.
The female blue tit was “re-building her nest” today, 13th March ’08 and managed to record some footage! nest-cam.webs.com
