This is Mischief the White-Necked Raven. These ravens are found throughout eastern and southern Africa, and are common near human habitation.
Like all members of the Corvidae family, ravens are extremely intelligent. They use tools to get food if necessary, and can even mimic human speech!
Cool facts about White-Necked Ravens:
- Their main diet is fruit, insects, and small reptiles, but if they find a small tortoise to eat, they will lift it up and drop it to the ground to break the shell.
- Ravens are some of the smartest of all animals.
- Since they are very social by nature, ravens are also some of the most playful of birds.
- Ravens display a strange behavior in the wild called "anting". They roll around on anthills, let the ants crawl all over them, and then they chew up the ants and rub them through their feathers. Scientists are unsure why they do this.

It's feeding time for Batty and Scar, two Straw-Colored Fruit Bats at WBS! These bats are native to Africa and are commonly found in forest and savanna habitats.
Despite their ability to fly, bats are mammals and not birds as some people might think. They fly from tree to tree, chewing bark and eating fruits and leaves.
After the fruit is consumed, the seeds pass through the bat's digestive system and is expelled as they travel, thereby dispersing seeds in new territories. This makes fruit bats an important species for conserving and rejuvenating forest ecosystems!Ollie the Caique Singing in the ShowerPaige Bucalo2016-02-04 | Check us out on Instagram! @PythonPaige
This is Ollie the White-Bellied Caique! Caiques are found in South America, living primarily in the low elevation rainforests of the Amazon Basin.
In captivity, there are two main color morphs: You have the White-Bellied morph, like Ollie, and the Black-Headed, which has crown of black instead of orange.
These parrots are energetic and playful animals, and demand quite a bit of attention from their humans. Nevertheless, they make great companions to experienced owners.
We hope you like Oliver's special songs as much as we do!

Did you know that some species of birds have ultraviolet reflective feathers? Humans can only see them with the help of a blacklight, but birds have incredible vision that allows them to see it naturally!
The two birds helping us with this video are Ollie the White-Bellied Caique and a Northern Saw-Whet Owl.Mischief The Raven Loves Recycling!Paige Bucalo2015-12-04 | Check us out on Instagram! @PythonPaige

This is Bertha, the American Kestrel!
Kestrels are the smallest falcon species in North America, and one of the smallest in the entire world.
Many bird species readily display their natural ability to stabilize their heads, but the kestrel seems to do it most frequently. Complex neck movements let them keep their eyes completely focussed on what they are looking at when perched on a branch or wire that is swaying in the breeze!
Cool facts about Kestrels:
- Kestrels can see into the ultraviolet light spectrum, enabling them to see the urine trail of their prey.
- Kestrels sometimes kill multiple prey items at a time to hide and save for later.
- Kestrels have two black spots on the back of their head that look like eyes. Their predators think they have lost the element of surprise.
- Kestrels are found all throughout North America
- Kestrels main diet is mice, grasshoppers, voles, and dragonflies, but they will sometimes kill larger prey like sparrows and starlings!
