Dog CareDog Care
"Dogs can be a great source of companionship, for kids and adults alike!"

Deciding to bring a new dog into your life – whether a puppy or an adult – will turn into a

wonderful experience, bringing change and joy!

Adopting a new puppy or adult dog can be one of the most exciting and profound experiences of your life, similar to getting married, buying your first car, or obtaining your first house. And a new dog takes work, just like all of those.

To have a good experience with your new pet, it is important to become familiar with how to care for your dog and learn about their needs.

Dogs are not choosy and will give their love to any owner willing to reciprocate that love – they don’t judge who you are or what your faults are. They can detect when you are sad or happy and their moods will follow suit. They can prove to be very loyal protectors and friends… Read More

Leaders for the World

Take a look at the outstanding work done in Puerto Rico by Leaders for the World, Inc., one of our 2010 mini-grant recipients. The project integrated greening, the arts, birding, data collection, and community service. Students and stakeholders were introduced to the project through a series of six detailed workshops on subjects ranging from habitat, the arts, and data collection. At the culminating event participants collected data on the Celebrate Urban Birds focal species and were introduced to endemic species as well. Make sure you look at the final report. You will be absolutely inspired! (In Spanish only.)

Funky Nests on Martha Stewart

Birds of Brooklyn 

Speakers scattered throughout Brooklyn play the sounds of birds no longer found in the borough.

Check out our new web page about the unique Birds of Brooklyn artwork. Artist Jenna Spevack has created a community-based audio project that brings the sounds of Brooklyn's displaced, endangered, and bygone birds to various sites around the borough. You can stand outside a shop or apartment building and hear a bird that might have lived there long ago. Jenna hopes to help city dwellers connect with the natural sounds of the area and raise awareness about declining bird populations in urban environments.

Jenna has also designed an
activity for educators and families to help them experience this project.

Get Connected

Check in with the Celebrate Urban Birds project via Facebook and Twitter. We have new postings daily. For example, see the eagles one of our participants, Janie Ferguson, has found near her home in New York, or recent entries to the challenges. Ask questions, show us what you're seeing in your neighborhood, learn about good flowers and shrubs for birds, community events, upcoming webinars, and more.
