A favorite educational ambassador bird. This, once injured, unreleasable, beautiful European Barn Owl, sits patiently amongst the Spring flowers. She is much more comfortable up in the trees, but has been lovingly trained and occasionally tolerates "ground activities" for a few minutes. The flowers in the shot are commonly known as Gaillardia or Firewheel or Blanket Flower.

A male bird of this beautiful but skittish woodpecker species and one of my favorite European birds.
It spends a lot of time on the ground searching for ants, its main food source.

European deer are among the largest (most powerful) members of their family. Males grow 175-230 cm and weigh between 160-240 kg.
The most typical feature for males are antlers, which they drop every year, usually at the end of winter. In the spring, when the antlers grow new antlers, they are covered with a fine protective velvet layer, called a bastard, which nourishes the growing antler and is later beaten by trees. The antlers are made of bone, which can grow an average of 2.5 cm per day. In addition, in adult males, there are some growths on the antlers, which are technically called privileges, and which grow and increase with age.
