Delta Air Lines’ Post

Hoping to see a chicken up in the clouds? Perhaps it's best to temper those expectations.   While chickens might not be the sky's rulers, their attempts at flight are a delightful spectacle of nature as they've mastered the art of the flap-and-hop.   Armed with wings and an air of confidence, you'd expect them to lift off - after all, they've got all the necessary equipment. Yet, flying for chickens seems more about ambition than airtime.   Tracing back to their roots, chickens descend from the wild jungle fowl of Southeast Asia, nocturnal tree-sleepers suggesting some airborne ability. Fast forward through centuries of human intervention (hello, domestication!) and we've got chickens who are more about the peck and less about the flight.   In the world of poultry production, the tale takes a further twist. Bred for rapid growth and confined spaces, these chickens find the concept of flight even more far-fetched. So, will our brave friends grace the clouds with their presence? Unlikely. While these feathery loaves of bread with legs may not conquer the skies, they should be celebrated for what they are: masters of the earth, not the air.

DID YOU KNOW? Some cockroaches can fly!🪳😰 Some species of cockroaches have wings and are capable of flying short distances. Flying cockroaches use their wings to escape predators, find food, and locate mates. https://lnkd.in/dKvbzjV #pestcontrol #fridayfacts #didyouknow #cockroachfacts #cockroaches #cockroach #cockroachcontrol #pestcontrol #cockroachcontrolexperts #pestcontrolexperts #localcockrochcontrol #cockroachcontrolnearme #pestcontrolservices #pestcontrolspecialists #thespecialists

🐎🌍Happy World Horse Day! 🐎🌍 Today we can reflect on the profound bond between humans and horses and to take action towards their welfare and protection. The ‘secret life’ of a horse isn’t easy to access or assess, and yet all horse owners want to think their horse has a good quality of life. Here at Companion Animals New Zealand, our 'Good Life for Animals' Centre aims to address these important challenges. Here's how: - Through rigorous research: we are developing evidence-based methods for practically assessing equine quality of life, including the presence of positive as well as absence or reduction of negative emotions. - Enhancing an understanding of how to provide positive experiences, including communicating the benefits for both horse and human of ensuring a positive welfare state. - Making use of human behaviour change techniques to help ensure that information is presented in the most accessible and practical way to reach different equestrian stakeholders to support informed decision making to ensure a Good Life for their horse. We look forward to sharing more soon!
