this is my account to learn about animals + share my research :)

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

love that you focused on birds too! they're such an interesting animal! #39canimals

After taking this class I was able to learn so much more about birds. I learned about different ways they act and think, and that they are smarter than we think. #WhatIlearnedinWR60 #39Canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

what an interesting study! one that i'm not complaining about ;) #39canimals

[Napali FPaladino @NapaliPaladino]

this account was spreading awareness about how therapy dogs are helping unviersity students. They state that you can solve the solution of stress and anxiety relief. #39Canimals

Check out this infographic I made about the most common canine diseases! #39canimals

the senses that hummingbirds have on how much nectar a flower has is incredible. they can tell without even drinking from a plant if the reward will be worth it or not! #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

Using social media as a way to advocate for my animal has been such an interesting learning experience. It's crazy how something we use so frequently in our own lives can still have such a learning curve when you use it in different ways!#WhatIlearnedinWR60

learning how to write and create an entirely new web space from the ground up was such a cool experience! I was able to create my own space to share my work in formats and colors that i wanted! #WhatIlearnedinWR60

“When specializing on hummingbird-pollination, Penstemon flowers may have evolved to improve the morphological fit between bird and flower, or to exclude less-efficient bees, or both” #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

did you know that hummingbirds are so fragile that they can be blown into sharp or blunt objects by even just a strong wind ? #WhatIlearnedinWR60

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

"Planting even just a few of these nectar abundant plants can help ensure the hummingbirds near you are able to find a source of food." Help out these birds by creating a beautiful, nectar rich garden! #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

"Hummingbirds frequently adapt specifically to their existing habitat. In an ever-changing climate, this creates an issue due to the fact that they are often extremely sensitive to environmental change as a result." #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

A hummingbird's decision between flowers is heavily reliant on their instincts. ' "All hummingbird species are primarily nectar feeders, although they will also catch insects or lick sap" '. #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

Can hummingbirds have a favorite color? According to my research "Natural selection arising from the behavior of animal pollinators is viewed as a major cause of the diversity in flower colors"! #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

"If black and white television really was how the world looked, how boring of a place would that be?" I went on a hunt to find out just how hummingbirds see our world, and how this effects them. #39canimals

Check out this website that has great ideas on how to help hummingbirds not just survive, but thrive. There's more to just conserving hummingbirds, why not help them be the happiest they can be! #39canimals

While it would be amazing to nurse an injured or sick hummingbird back to life on our own, these are skills that require specific licensed help. They cannot be fulfilled off of water alone as they need the nutrition from nectar and insects #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

Different specific hummingbird breeds can require different conservation needs! Aside from the overall general issues, check out this article to see what the solutions are to help some specific breeds of these birds! #39canimals

A large majority of hummingbird conservation focuses on their habitat and resources. To conserve these aspects without conserving what allows them to thrive, this includes habitat, climate, and water. #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

Aquatic insects are a main food source for hummingbirds, especially during the nesting cycle. This means that water conservation also plays a big part in hummingbird conservation. Read more here! #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

Hummingbirds rely on water for a plethora of things from their food source to keeping their feathers in tip-top shape. With the increasing climate issues, they are at a high risk of loosing their food source and their bath. #39canimals

[Kiley Blake @KJBucsb]

HCNs’ mission is to aid hummingbirds in their survival and ability to thrive while engaging human communities in these efforts. Humans can benefit economically and socially through their hummingbird conservation activities. #39canimals
