I am a student at UCI. I am using Twitter to learn and share the central theme and research topics about animal science. #39canimals

This link provide more detail of the noise porblems to birds. https://t.co/ICpt7dn812

"Their study also provided evidence that the impact of noise pollution on health was not only the failure of hatching, but also the physical condition of the hatched chicks would be reduced. " #39canimals

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

"Because noise pollution reduces the reproductive success and survival chances of birds, causing habitat loss, and reducing the avian diversity. Songs and calls are the primary means of communication for birds." #39canimals

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

This article briefly introduces how could noise pollution influence birds' communication.

It is the first time that I know that giraffes will suffer from poaching just like elephants! #39canimals

[Rachel Lynn Loberstein @rloberst]

There are so many problems that giraffes face today, most importantly poaching out of necessity. We can improve this by providing aid to communities.

It's true that animals have trauma responses. When I was searching for bird's problems, they have PTSD and stress with different pollution. #39canimals

[Bella Souza @isouzauci]

"Poaching leads to many other problems, such as trauma responses, stress, and changes in elephant genome pools. Since elephants that are being poached have tusks, it is now genetically favorable to be born without tusks." #39canimals

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

Really sad. #39canimals

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

It's so said that elephants are victims of the illegal ivory trade. #39canimals

[Janelle Tan @funjanelle]

Botswana is no longer a paradise for elephants to accommodate. Baby elephants have no direction for future life, if the herd's guide disappears, the children end up facing death. #39canimals

So sad. Limited space in the tank can lead to sun damage to dolphins. #39canimals

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

When I am doing the problem section about the birds, I found out that their habits are deeply influenced by global warming. #39Canimals

[Gavin Fernandez @GavinF762652]

#39canimals "Global warming is an incredibly complex issue because any solution must halt large amounts of carbon emissions from all over the world and also remove these large amounts of carbon that have already been released from the atmosphere."

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

I also read this when I was doing my birds' research. It's so amazing that crows can recognize the different human faces. #39canimals

[Rebecca Nguyen @rebeccaWR39C]

“Lasting Recognition of Threatening People by Wild American Crows” is a research article that demonstrates how wild crows able to recognize the human face associated with danger, but also their scolding response continued for at least 2.7 years.. @subirdia Incredible! #39Canimals

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

It's really interesting that there are specifically trained falcons for dispelling crows! #39canimals

[Katherine @KatherineHadl11]

#39canimals "To dissuade the crows from residing in inconvenient areas, local governments contract out to companies who specialize in dispelling crows. They have specifically trained falcons and handlers that will send their falcons to harass the crow population..."

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

Why are crows covering the area with droppings? #39canimals

[Katherine @KatherineHadl11]

#39canimals "The crows arrive in droves as the sun sets, settling in their night routine and roost in downtown Sunnyvale, covering the area with droppings and socializing with their signature calls, which you’ll recognize if you’ve ever watched a group of crows interact"

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

@KatherineHadl11 Why are crows covering the area with droppings?

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

These are the other efforts that they do for increasing the public awareness of protecting birds. https://t.co/42Z6zgCR38

[Shengnan Zhang @Shengnz5]

"Raising awareness of the causes, impacts, and solutions of noise pollution is important to start making changes." #39canimals
