    Cocoon to Butterfly, how long?

    I have a a caterpillar that cocooned it's self on one of my waterplants & unfortunately the little bast!%*d squirrels ate the waterplants leaving the cocoon on the ground next to the pond. It was still alive, because it moved when I picked it up. Where's the best place to keep it while it...

    Help with Amazon - Ecuador

    I don't get an Orange-winged impression. The Orange-winged Amazons' I've seen have narrower heads & beaks. I get more of an impression of a Yellow -front or Double-yellow headed Amazon, though I don't know if they are native to Ecuador.

    Can't be a MOURNING Dove

    Turtle ID Please? Central Southern Massachusetts, USA

    Looks like a snapper to me. I'm not sure of the species name or if there is more than 1 species of snapper in th U.S. It looks too little to tell the sex and you'd have to see the under side of the tail and cloaca to be sure. It's a cutie.

    can you tell me what bird this is?

    It probably is more common in the pet trade or here in Oklahoma, I don't know which. The breeders here call them Quakers too. I first learned about them working in a pet store and found when doing research on the species that they were more commonly called Monk parrots in literature and on-line.

    Domestic Rabbit?

    Doesn't look right the for a cotton-tail, I beleive you are correct that it is an escaped domestic.

    What kind of finch?

    I agree with House, and male at that, the females don't have the red coloring. Though he does look a little ratty.

    Quaker/Monk, it's called by both names.

    can you tell me what bird this is?

    It's a Quaker Parakeet, probably an escapee. They are very common in pet stores, most are captive bred & hand reared.
