BIRDS

by Janet Spencer Come along with Tidbits as we look at birds! BIRD BITS • Crows and ravens will intentionally lead other members of their flock away from a source of food so they can return later and eat the meal themselves. • After an oil spill, researchers found that when oil-covered guillemots (a type of seabird) were rescued, cleaned up, and then released back into the wild, 70% of them died within two weeks after being released. • The Florida scrub jay is omnivorous and eats whatever is available. Humans often provide nuts and seeds which are very nutritious for the adult scrub jays. However, scrub jays that are regularly fed by humans are fooled into thinking that spring has arrived early. They build their nests, lay their eggs, and hatch their young earlier than normal. The newlyhatched scrub jays are unable to digest nuts and seeds, and they have unfortunately been born before nature’s natural bounty of grubs and bugs is readily available. They suffer from stunted growth and starvation. • Birds that live in New Guinea eat poisonous beetles without suffering ill effects. The deadly neurotoxins they ingest collect in their feathers and skin, making the birds poisonous. (continued next page)

BIRD BITS (cont’d) • All domestic breeds of chickens originated with the red jungle fowl of southeastern Asia about 8,000 years ago. • The beaks of mallards, blackbirds, and zebra finches glow under ultraviolet light. • Flamingos are not naturally pink. They take on their pink hue not only from the pink shrimp they eat, but also from the green algae they consume, which turns pink during the digestive process. • Do you eat like a bird? Which bird? A vulture can eat up to a quarter of its body weight in a single sitting, making itself so heavy it cannot fly. Hummingbirds must eat more than their body weight in high-energy nectar each day. • The albatross can fly thousands of miles without ever landing, even sleeping on the wing. The bird can shut down half of its brain at a time, leaving the other half of the brain on autopilot. • An ostrich will urinate on its legs to cool them down on hot days. • European starlings line their nests with plants that inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungus as well as preventing lice, mites, and ticks from hatching. • The eyeball of a human is round and can easily turn in the eye socket. But the eyeball of an owl is tubular, and therefore cannot turn in the eye socket. This is why owls need to be able to swivel their heads 270 degrees. • Parrots have much bigger brains relative to body size than any other group of birds. In fact, the brain-to-body ratio of parrots is even larger than some primates. • Cuckoos are famous for laying their eggs in other birds’ nests, forcing the adoptive parents to raise the imposter chicks. But a bird called the blackcap is able to tell a cuckoo’s egg from its own eggs, and consistently throws the intruding eggs out of the nest. (cont’d)

Tote Halloween Loot in Customized Bags The Halloween costume scramble is on as kids count down to school parades, hay rides and ringing doorbells on Halloween night. Amidst the last-minute chaos of searching for your adorable princess’s missing tiara or her brother’s dashing pirate scarf, let’s be honest: What REALLY matters to most kids is the “trick or treat” part of the masquerade. It’s all about the loot! Tote those special treats in Halloween style as you complement this year’s disguise, whether it’s a superhero, pirate or princess. Decorate these clever treat bags at home as a family. Or, use this idea for a “party activity” if you are volunteering to help with the classroom party at school or hosting a ghoulish gathering in your home. All ages can join in on the creative fun. You’ll need heavy-duty small or large paper shopping bags with handles, construction paper, tape, white household glue, scissors and markers. I like to have plenty of extra supplies on hand, too, such as pipe cleaners, stickers and fabric scraps. Tell the kids to get their imaginations brewing and think of the opened bag as the “place” where their character would live or go, then decorate the outside of the bag to look like the facade of that place. Here are some ideas to get you started: SUPERMAN OR SPIDER-MAN: Leap tall buildings with a New York City skyscraper. Use a solid-color sheet of paper glued to one side of the bag for the front of the building. For windows, cut 3-inch strips of white electrical or reflective tape and stick them to the sheet in neat rows. Cut out a door shape from paper and glue it to the bottom. PRINCESS: Make the facade of an enchanting castle. Glue a gray sheet of paper to the outside of the bag and decorate with cut-out cone-shape turrets topped with paper flags. BIRD: Tote a bird’s nest. Cut out a large sheet of brown paper in the shape of a nest. Glue to the front of the bag, and then add twigs, real leaves, bits of yarn and string and lots of craft feathers. Extra tip: If you can’t find paper bags with handles, tape cut strips of poster board or woven ribbon or twine securely to the inside of the top of the bag.

* On Nov. 8, 1895, in his lab in Germany, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen becomes the first person to observe X-rays while testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass. Rontgen received numerous accolades for his work, including the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901. * On Nov. 9, 1938, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jews in Germany and Austria. The violence was dubbed “Kristallnacht,” or “Night of Broken Glass,” for the countless smashed windows of 7,500 Jewish-owned establishments. Some 100 Jews died, and hundreds of synagogues and homes were damaged. * On Nov. 7, 1944, Franklin Roosevelt is re-elected president of the United States for a record third time, defeating Thomas Dewey, the governor of New York, and becoming the only president in history to win a fourth term in office. * On Nov. 10, 1964, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara says that the United States has no plans to send combat troops into Vietnam. By 1969, more than 500,000 American troops were in South Vietnam. * On Nov. 6, 1977, the Toccoa Falls Dam in Georgia bursts, and the resulting flash flood kills 39 people. The day before, a volunteer fireman had inspected the 100-year-old Earthen dam above the falls and found everything in order. * On Nov. 12, 1980, the U.S. planetary probe Voyager 1 edges within 77,000 miles of Saturn, sending back 30,000 images that show hundreds of rings encircling the planet. Voyager 1, now in interstellar space, contains a disk featuring natural and manmade sounds of Earth. * On Nov. 11, 2000, a cable car taking skiers to a glacier in Austria catches fire as it passes through a mountain tunnel; 156 people die. Only 11 people survived the fire, which was caused by an illegal space heater in the driver’s cabin.

BIRD BITS (cont’d) • Crows that see a grub in a hole often find a twig to use as a lever to extract the grub. If it’s a wide hole, they will choose a wide twig. If it’s a narrow hole, they’ll pick a skinny stick. If it’s a deep hole, they’ll find a long stick, and will get a short stick if it’s a shallow hole. They will also take a stick that’s not quite right and break it into the correct size. • Vultures like to eat eggs of other bird species. If it’s a small egg, they will carry it in the air and drop it on the ground to break it open. But if it’s a large egg and too big to carry, they will instead grab stones and drop the rocks on the egg from a height until it cracks open. • Crows like to eat nuts and clams but find them hard to open. Many crows have perfected the art of dropping these items on hard pavement to crack them open, with some going so far as to drop them on a busy roadway where the cars will roll over them. They then wait for the stoplight to change so they can retrieve it. • Greenbacked herons will drop things on the surface of a calm pool to act as bait. Seeds, flowers, feathers, and dead flies float on the surface until a fish comes to investigate, whereupon the heron snatches it up. • The rufous hummingbird visits hundreds of flowers in any given day without ever visiting the same flower twice until it has had a chance to refill with nectar. • Roosters will often give a call indicating that they have found food, even when they have none. A hen will hurry over to see what kind of food he’s got, which gives the rooster an opportunity to try to mate with her. • Two male Japanese quail will fight for the right to mate with a female Japanese quail. Surprisingly, the female prefers to mate with whoever loses the fight. This is because the winner tends to be a more aggressive bird who will often bully his mate. (cont’d)

* It was 20th-century American author and college professor David Foster Wallace who made the following sage observation: “There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard’s vote.” * Those who study such things say that many ancient Greeks carried coins in their mouths -clothing of the time lacked pockets, you see. * In late 19-century America, parts of New England had a rather unusual Halloween tradition. Evidently, in many rural communities, boys would celebrate by throwing cabbage, corn and other rotten vegetables. * If you’re like many wage slaves, as the end of the workweek approaches you might find yourself doing busywork -- trying to look as if you’re working when, in fact, you’re just shuffling papers or otherwise avoiding productivity. Well, there’s a word for that: fudgel. Fudgeling may not be an approved workplace activity, but it’s undeniably a part of the American workplace. * If you look closely at the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci’s famed masterwork, you might notice that the famously enigmatic subject is entirely lacking in eyebrows. * It may not come as a surprise that when scorpions mate, it’s a rather violent affair. When the act is completed, the female stings her partner to death, then eats him. * In 1993, voters in San Francisco voted on a ballot measure to determine whether police officer Bob Geary would be allowed to walk his neighborhood beat while carrying his ventriloquist’s dummy, known as Brendan O’Smarty. The measure passed, and O’Smarty remained on the job.

* Roll clothing to pack: For shirts, you can stack them all together, then fold over the sleeves before rolling. Pants are best rolled individually. Fold one leg onto the other, then roll tightly from ankle to waist, being sure to smooth wrinkles as you go. Stuff socks into shoes. Make use of all your space. * Trouble getting to sleep? Maybe you should try listening to soothing sounds. There are many to choose from, from white or pink noise (find it free on YouTube or get a CD from the library). There’s even a podcast where a person reads a boring book in a monotone voice (Sleep with Me). You never know if it’ll help unless you try. -- C.A. in Florida

* Homemade ice pack: Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol to 3 parts water in a zipper-top bag; seal and place in the freezer. It gets really cold but never hardens, so you can manipulate it. Every athlete (or parent) should pin this. -- M.W. (Add food coloring so you can tell if it’s leaking, and label it properly!) * Airport hacks: Bring a few extra zipper-top bags, just in case you need them on the return flight; bring an empty water bottle to fill up after you clear security; bring your own snacks; tie or otherwise fasten an identifiable scrap of material to your plain black luggage to make it easy to spot on the luggage carousel; wear a heavy coat -- you can always take it off and stow it, but it won’t count against your weight limit if it’s on you at check-in. * Winter driver safety list! Check levels for the following: engine oil, coolant and antifreeze, as well as windshield wiper fluid (non-freezing), tire pressure and tread depth.

To Your Good Health By Keith Roach, M.D.

Apple No Substitute for Toothbrush DEAR DR. ROACH: I have heard that an apple a day keeps the dentist away and that an apple is nature’s toothbrush. Can we really skip brushing our teeth if we eat an apple instead? -- R.T. ANSWER: I’ve read many opinions about this subject, and I tend to agree with the ones that show that apples are high in both sugar (some newer varieties much more so than old ones) and acid, which can damage teeth. Apples do have some ability to remove some particles from the teeth, but they will not clean all surfaces of the teeth. So, I would not skip brushing after an apple, even though apples are much better for your teeth than sticky sweets. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: What is an exophytic cyst? I have one on my right kidney, and it has been watched closely for the past eight years. The most recent ultrasound shows that it is 2.1 cm and hasn’t changed in that time. I am 78 and in good health, except for asbestos exposure. Should I get this thing removed, or let it be? I get conflicting advice. -- B.W. ANSWER: The word “exophytic” means “growing outward,” and a cyst is a fluid-filled cavity. So an exophytic cyst bulges out of the kidney and is filled with fluid. The big concern with these is whether they can be cancerous. A

BIRD BITS (cont’d) • Although it is said that opposites attract, in nature that is not always true. For instance, pinyon jays that find a partner who is similar in weight and age produce more offspring than pinyon jays that are unequally matched. Barnacle geese raise larger families if they are similar in size than if the couple is composed of one large and one small individual. Great tits are birds similar to a chickadee. They fall into two camps: those that like to explore, and those that like to stay home. The pairing will be more successful if each partner has a similar desire to either explore or stay home. • Black-tailed godwits mate for life, but the pair does not spend their entire life together. They raise their family over the summer months, and in the fall they set out to migrate south. However, they don’t migrate together. Each of them goes to a different place to spend the winter months. In the spring, they return to their mating grounds and somehow manage to find each other again, usually arriving within three days of each other in April. • A female pigeon cannot lay eggs if she is alone; her ovaries will not function unless another pigeon is in view. Sometimes all that is required is a mirror, so she can see her own reflection. • The kiwi, a New Zealand bird, lays an egg equal to a quarter of the mother’s weight. • If a chicken has a white earlobe it will lay a white egg. If a chicken has a red earlobe, it will lay a brown egg. • About 7% of zebra finches stutter, getting stuck on a portion of their song and repeating it until they finally continue the tune. • When a male penguin starts incubating a single egg for the two months required for it to hatch, he weighs around 88 lbs. (40 kg)When he finishes, he weighs half that. • The mature yolk of an ostrich egg is the biggest single cell found in nature.

simple cyst, with thin walls and fluid without any solid structures, has a very low likelihood of being cancer and does not need further evaluation. If the sonogram can’t show that for certain, then a CT scan is usually done. Kidney cysts are graded according to the Bosniak category, based on their appearance by CT scan. The more complex the cyst, the higher the likelihood of cancer. Older age, being a male and asbestos exposure are risk factors for cancer of the kidney. Despite those risk factors, if this were a simple cyst (Bosniak I or II) and unchanged in eight years, it is very unlikely to be cancer, and I would recommend letting it be. However, if it were a Bosniak category III or higher, I would discuss biopsy with the urologist. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m having a sensation on the balls of my feet, as though I am walking with pads. I have diabetes, but my sugar level is moderate. I have seen three doctors without results. Do you have any thoughts? -- B.G. ANSWER: Anytime I hear symptoms that could be numbness, pain, tingling or burning sensation in someone with diabetes, I think it is diabetic neuropathy until proven differently. It is not usually hard to diagnose with a filament (to test light touch sensation) and a tuning fork (to test vibration), but occasionally an electrodiagnostic test (i.e., EMG) is necessary. If your regular or diabetes doctor hasn’t helped, I suggest a neurologist. Blood sugar levels that are persistently high are more likely to result in diabetic neuropathy, but longstanding diabetes, even when it’s moderately well-controlled, can lead to neuropathy.

CAFFEINE

• Caffeine is found naturally not only in coffee and tea but also in about 100 other plants. Caffeine acts as a natural insecticide. It can kill insects, stunt their growth, impair their coordination, or ruin their reproduction capabilities. • A typical cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 115 mg of caffeine. The same size cup of espresso delivers about 250 mg of caffeine. That’s why espresso is served in such tiny cups. Percolated coffee has slightly less caffeine than drip coffee. Decaffeinated coffee does not mean the coffee is caffeine-free. Brewed decaf has about 5 mg of caffeine. A typical cup of truck stop coffee will usually contain more caffeine than an expensive cup of designer coffee. That’s because the less expensive robusta beans, from which inexpensive coffee is made, are higher in caffeine than the more expensive arabica beans used in specialty coffee. • Methylene chloride is the chemical used to remove caffeine from coffee beans. The chemical is poisonous when inhaled, but because it evaporates at 120°F (49°C), it dissipates when the beans are roasted at 400°F. (204°C). Any remnants still in the beans are rendered harmless by brewing the coffee at a temperature around 200°F. (93°C) • Caffeine increases alertness and enhances performance on certain tasks. Tests on drivers and typists prove that two cups of coffee can help. However, research shows it helps most if the drinker is bored or fatigued. It only boosts intellectual speed and not physical power. Furthermore, coffee seems to help extroverts more than it helps introverts. Studies show that people respond more to the caffeine they think they’ve consumed than they respond to the amount of caffeine that they’ve actually consumed. (cont’d)

Will Your Money Last Through Retirement? Think you have your retirement financial planning well in hand? Well, a new study shows that you might be in for a rude surprise when the time comes. The American College New York Life Center for Retirement Income commissioned a survey of retirement income planning, and the results are disturbing. Only 35 percent of men passed the quiz; only 18 percent of women were able to. The quiz covered a dozen different categories, and judging by the results, the topic of annuity products in retirement was the most difficult. Women equaled men in the Medicare insurance planning section, with both getting 76 percent of answers correct. Women also bested men (just barely, at 38 percent versus 35 percent) in paying for longterm-care expenses. The survey found the most glaring problem is that while many women know they’re not knowledgeable about retirement income planning, the majority still believe they’ll have enough money to live on. Why is that? Are women secretly depending on men to be on top of financial planning, answering on the quiz that they make joint decisions, while the men replied that they (the men) were actually the ones in charge? There is one ray of hope in the survey: The majority of women believe that it’s important for their financial adviser to educate them ... while a minority of men responded that way. Ladies, we live longer. If anyone should be more concerned about having enough money for a long retirement, it’s us. At the very least, we should know what our monthly retirement budget looks like. To see how you do on the retirement quiz, go online to retirement.theamericancollege.edu. Scroll down to the red box on the lower right. There are 38 questions. After you take the quiz, you can check your answers.

Don’t Risk Pets’ Lives: Vaccinate

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: The letter from a reader wondering if it’s worth it to vaccinate his indoor cats (“Do Indoor Cats Need All Those Shots?”) hit a nerve with me. Years ago, I had five totally indoor kitties. And like his cats, mine loved to perch on the windowsill. I’d never bothered to keep up with all of their shots, because they never went outside and so wouldn’t be exposed to other cats -- so why deal with the expense? You can guess what happened: The window screen popped out somehow, and my cat “Woody” fell out into our side yard. Once we discovered the “escape,” we got him back into the house, but sadly, it was not fast enough. As time went by I noticed all of my cats were showing signs of illness, so I made an appointment with the veterinarian. Sadly, Woody never made it; he passed away the day before the appointment. All of my surviving cats

were diagnosed with feline leukemia. Because of my insistence on being cheap, I shortened all of my cats’ lives. If they had been vaccinated regularly, they likely would never have gotten sick even if they accidentally escaped the house. That’s a fact I can never, ever change. Please don’t think like I did. Protect your family and get all of their vaccinations. -- Dee in Palmyra, New York DEAR DEE: Thank you for sharing such a painful experience. I hope your story will help others realize just how much they have to lose by not vaccinating their indoor cats against feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency virus, rabies and other diseases.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CAFFEINE • Those who regularly drink alcohol are 20% less likely to develop cirrhosis of the liver if they also drink one cup of coffee per day. • People who consume caffeine are less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease, and for those who have already developed Parkinson’s, it may help them control their movement. • Drinking two to four cups of coffee daily can reduce the risk of suicide by about 50%. The theoretical reason is because coffee acts as a mild antidepressant by aiding in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. • Women who drink three or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to develop skin cancer than those who don’t. • People who drink four or more cups of coffee a day reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes by 50%. • People older than 65 who had higher blood levels of caffeine developed Alzheimer’s disease two to four years later than others with lower caffeine levels. • According to a study, nothing else comes close to providing as many antioxidants as coffee. While fruits and vegetables also have lots of antioxidants, the human body seems to absorb the most from coffee. HOWEVER… • Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee at the same time raises the blood pressure. The combination of caffeine and nicotine also stops the effects of many high-blood pressure medications. This spells danger for those whose blood pressure is already too high. • Birth defects are possible if a pregnant woman drinks more than eight cups a day during the pregnancy. Doctors still recommend that pregnant women avoid all caffeine.
