You are good with words so maybe one day you will write a book? All the best in the new year Cheers, Liz ----- Original Message ----- From: Helene Van Doninck To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Re: Wesley the Owl HI Joan, I can attest to this 100 %....both as being a vet for wild and domestic birds. I could tell PILES of stories on this topic but I won't ramble on. Maybe fodder for my blog. This topic tends to bring out arguments on anthropomorphic issues...and tends to divide camps. I am a scientist..and a great admirer of birds..and believe wholly in special bonds between species. This fact makes it extremely difficult to do rehabilitation well..the constant struggle between wishing I could interact more with my patients..but knowing their chances for survival plummet if they are not afraid of people. I am happy to say I have never had a problem bird here that became imprinted or a problem on release. I have had imprinted birds sent to me that have been raised by others...and will not release those...they need to find permanent placement. Just my 2 cents Helene ------=_NextPart_000_0012_01CBA761.E8BB0CB0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 8.00.6001.18999"> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman"> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman">Hi Helene</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Times New Roman">We are so fortunate to have you = online that we=20 learn so much from you and your rehab work with wild birds.
