Let’s talk?..

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

It is possible to admire peacocks, from canaries it is possible to listen, and if you wish to talk, address to monkeys! The British scientists have found out, that monkeys are capable to make simple sentences. And in fact earlier it was considered especially a prerogative of the person! Observing for white-noses monkey from Nigeria, they have found out, that animals pass an alarm signal, building thus phrases in the same sequence as it is accepted and in human language. And in fact it is considered, that only the instinct of self-preservation forces to submit animals an alarm signal. And what instinct forces animals to do it “humanly”? And where at the person an instinct which will force him to concern and appreciate world around objectively? The instinct which will not allow the person to consider itself as exception, and will force him to perceive itself only a small part of the world? An instinct which will not allow the person to change the world «under itself»? Instinct which will not allow the person to destroy the world belonging not only him?

Bright tail - an attribute of health.

Birds are different. And if at a canary the main thing a voice, at the peacock - a tail! Its smart tail has made the peacock of favorites of many people. Many owners of private houses like to hold it at themselves as the favorites. The plumage of the peacock has made its aristocratic bird. It recognizes all. But very few people know that it’s smart tail - not simply entertainment of the nature. English zoologist Marion Petri for the first time has reflected: and what for to peacocks such beautiful tail? She has selected eight males in park Vipsend and to everyone has given out for a happy life four ladies. In families 350 nestlings hatched. Supervision over kids has shown: the most develop and hardy children were born from peacocks with the brightest and large figure on a tail.
As it is interesting! Again arises comparisons with the world of people. Several years ago I read very interesting article. People who are allocated by attractive appearance achieve the greatest successes in a life. It spoke that the beautiful child since the early childhood gets used more optimistically and to perceive this world positively. He gets used to that people concern to him with sympathy, positively estimating him. Fine faults I eat say goodbye more often than to children with not such attractive appearance. Therefore in the further life people with beautiful appearance are not afraid to make of the decision and to make any acts. They are assured that all will be good. And failures they perceive not as law, and as annoying misunderstanding. But the positive factor at people concerned to area of psychology. And what occurs to peacocks? And now there is a question: only the psychological factor determines success of beautiful people?

And again canaries …

There are, canaries the same as parrots or starlings, are capable to imitate another’s voices. Group of scientists of Rokfedder University have found out, that nestlings of canaries at a stage of early development with pleasure copy unfamiliar and unusual for them sounds and melodies. However this feature in due course passes. Birds invariable come back to traditional canary songs by the moment of puberty. Parodies terminate. The serious life of a canary begins. And each bird tries to prove to be from the best side as a canary. It does not refuse its nature.
Just as at people. All we like to revolt. At any stage of the growth we try to change the world. But when there come serious times, all we are shown as members of society. And thank for God, that it so! In this our force …

THE FIRST EXPERIENCE

Friday, July 7th, 2006

People often make a mistake when choose a dog for the first time. People use not those criteria which are really important in this question. Often the main role plays appearance of a dog. People have long discussions as their pet should appear. Whether it should be fluffy or not, white or black, big or small. The majority of people think that if they live in a small apartment also their dog should be small. But the small choleric dog occupies more places, than the big phlegmatic dog. The important role is played with a fashion on breeds. But the fashion on the certain breed to lasts three-five years. Then one fashionable breed is replaced by another one. But dogs live ten-twelve years. And many fashionable pedigree attributes hide in themselves the certain problems with health and mentality. The some people think that if they cannot devote much time to a dog it is necessary to get a small dog. Forgetting, that a small dog is big efforts too. Determining what a dog should be - small defenseless or big and courageous, people do not reflect, that the big size of a dog does not protect dogs from the same problems with health. I would advise to give more attention in this question to such concept, as “breed”. Try to find out as much as possible about the breed which has interested you. It would be quite good, if you would study some breeds. Would find out their history. Would find out for what mankind has invented this breed. What working qualities of dogs are incorporated in this breed? In fact this moment will play very important role in behavior of your pet. You should study an anatomic structure of the given breed attentively. Usually behind anatomic features problems with health are hidden. Short muzzle - problems with breath and as the consequence big loadings on heart, means problems with heart. Dog large - the problems. For the first year of a life it is necessary for puppy to increase weight of the body a hundred times. The puppy is born weight in 500 gram, and by a year it already should weigh fifty kg. Usually joints have not time to be formed so quickly. Joints lag behind in growth. Therefore large dogs often have problems with joints: such as arthritis. Excessive amount of folds of a skin - new problems. Any wound serves as the open door for an infection. The result - the growth of risk of the infectious diseases, the lowered immunity. To the person who is not engaged professionally in dogs, it is difficult to understand such things. It is better to ask to consult the person who is engaged in cultivation of the given breed. It is desirable to receive consultations of several experts. Because, in my opinion, the cynologistic is a set of subjective opinions which develop in an objective estimation. It would be good to communicate to some representatives of the given studied breed. After dialogue with dogs you will understand about what cynologists spoke you. And only after you have determined with breed, it is possible to pass to a choice of the puppy. It is very difficult to tell looking on the puppy what character will be at it, when it will become an adult dog. Formation of a dog depends on a plenty of factors. But it is possible to define the type of temperament. And it is very important. The dog with mobile temperament (the choleric or the sanguine) will more suit the amateur of morning jogs than the amateur of fishing. To study so diligently a question of a choice of a dog, it is necessary to spend a lot of time. Even some months. Even a year. But the dog will be near to you twelve years. And you can make these years happy or fill them with never-ending problems.

Comments from Kira: it is possible to think even three years what you want a dog. But when you meet YOUR dog, you forget about everything. And your happiness does not have borders….
