Is It Leagal To Have A Mockingbird As A Pet In The State Of Michigan

Why do hummingbirds chase each other at the feeder instead of using it at the same time?

As far as birds go, hummingbirds are among the most territorial of all. They have been known to claim an entire flowerbed as their own, and even lay claim to three or more feeders, flying from one to another over and over again to chase away any who dare enter “their” territory. They have been known to defend an area up to a quarter acre in size. This is just a natural characteristic of hummingbirds.Male hummingbirds are very territorial for several reasons. The male is trying to defend his feeding territory. The male hummingbird does not want his territory to overlap with other male hummingbirds. A male hummingbird will defend his territory aggressively by doing a high speed bluffing charge attack or he will engage the rival in a physical battle, often “spearing” his competition with his beak.Another reason a male hummingbird is so fiercely protective of his territory is due to the desire to attract a mate. Before a female hummingbird agrees to mate with the male she is not allow in the territory and will be driven away from there. Once the female agrees to mate, she is given a”free pass” into the territory. This is extremely important to the female hummingbird because when she is sitting on her eggs or chicks she needs easy access to a nearby food source so she is not gone for too long or the offspring may die.All you can do is hang enough feeders, preferably each out of direct line of sight of the others… around the corner of your house or behind a bush. A male hummingbird is the Mighty Mouse of the avian world.On the other hand, this characteristic is very much dependent on the personality of each individual bird… the extent of its “alpha-ness”. Many feeders are shared by multiple males. Also, if a particular feeder is visited by a huge number of birds, even the most alpha of males may eventually be overwhelmed in trying to defend, and will eventually realize the futility of his efforts.

Do birds ever relocate their eggs? If so, how do they carry them? I noticed that a dove had made a nest and laid some eggs on my windowsill. After watching it for a few days, one morning I woke up and the bird and the eggs had suddenly disappeared.

Yes, the do sometimes relocate their eggs but never ones that have their nests anywhere but on the ground.Ground nesting birds can certainly move eggs from one nest to another and they typically roll them on the ground, if the terrain is suitable.  If it's not, they just don't move them.  Another great example are penguins.  The eggs are not incubated on a nest but rather are incubated while on parents feet.  They move them again but again, often rely heavily on the ground.Any "flying" type birds do not ever move their eggs.  I agree with many of the other posters who have suggested that the loss of eggs was probably predation.  House cats and squirrels are typically the culprits.  Sometimes you might see a few extra eggs appear and these can be eggs of birds known as nest parasites.  Things like cowbirds will go around and lay eggs in a nest of a female who has just recently laid eggs.  She does this because the "host" mother will care for this other bird as though it was her own and the parasite mom gets to fly away and not care for the baby but still know that it will survive.

"prison area: do not pick up hitchhikers" roadsign photo?

I am not sure why it is funny. The signs are trying to warn you not to pick up hitchhikers in the event that they have escaped.

Here is one of those signs in Texas, near Houston:

Here is another one in Illinois:

They are found thoughout the United States and Canada, even in Connecticut. There is a sign near near Danbury, CT that warns "FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION DO NOT PICK UP HITCHHIKERS".

I found a post from Beth ( http://theholeyourein.blogspot.com/2005/11/kansas-part-i-road-trip.html ) where she writes: "The funniest road sign I've ever seen was the one near a Connecticut penitentiary, something to the effect of "State prison 1/2 mile, do not pick up hitchhikers.""

So, they are obviously in Connecticut, too.
