Beautiful Pet Birds

The world we live in is painted in so many beautiful colors and some of them are spread on the wings and feathers of the most beautiful birds.

The winged wonders carry perhaps the largest variety of color combinations and seeing them displayed in their natural habitat can only make you wonder whether they are built to wear those amazing colors in order to fit the environment or simply because the evolution saw fit to paint them so they will bejewel the forests of the world.

Scarlet Macaw:

is a large, colorful macaw. It is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics. Range extends from extreme south-eastern Mexico to Amazonian Peru, Bolivia and Brazil in lowlands up to 500 m (1,640 ft) (at least formerly) up to 1,000 m (3,281 ft). It has suffered from local extinction through habitat destruction and capture for the parrot trade, but locally it remains fairly common. Formerly it ranged north to southern Tamaulipas. It can still be found on the island of Coiba. It is the national bird of Honduras.

Lesser-Bird of Paradise:

The Lesser Bird-of-paradise is medium-sized, up to 32 cm-long, maroon-brown with a yellow crown and brownish-yellow upper back. The male has a dark emerald-green throat, a pair of long tail-wires and is adorned with ornamental flank plumes which are deep yellow at their base and fade outwards into white. The female is a maroon bird with a dark-brown head and whitish underparts. Further study is required, but it seems likely that birds of paradise also possess toxins in their skins, derived from their insect prey.

 

 African Crowned Crane:

The Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) is a bird in the crane family Gruidae. It occurs in dry savannah in Africa south of the Sahara, although it nests in somewhat wetter habitats. This animal does not migrate.

 

There are two subspecies. The East African B. r. gibbericeps (Crested Crane) occurs from eastern 

Democratic Republic of the Congo through Uganda, of which it is the national bird, and Kenya to eastern South Africa. It has a larger area of bare red facial skin above the white patch than the smaller nominate species, B. r. regulorum (South African Crowned Crane), which breeds from Angola south to South Africa.

Quetzal: 

Are strikingly colored birds in the trogon family. They are found in forests and woodlands, especially in humid highlands, with the five species from the genus Pharomachrus being exclusively Neotropical, while

 the single Euptilotis species is almost entirely restricted to western Mexico. They are fairly large (all over 32 cm or 13 inches long), slightly bigger than other trogon species. Quetzals have iridescent green or golden-green wing coverts, back, chest and head, and a red belly.

 

 Lorikeet:

The Rainbow Lorikeet, (Trichoglossus haematodus) is a species of Australasian parrot found in Australia, eastern Indonesia (Maluku and Western New Guinea), Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. In Australia, it is common along the eastern seaboard, from Queensland to South Australia and northwest Tasmania. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. Several taxa traditionally listed as subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet are increasingly treated as separate species (see Taxonomy).

Rainbow Lorikeets have been introduced to Perth - Western Australia, Auckland - New Zealand, and

 Hong Kong. - China.

Northern Cardinal:

male card

 (Cardinalis cardinalis) is a North American bird in the genus Cardinalis; it is also known colloquially as the redbird or common cardinal. It can be found in southern Canada, through the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico. It is found in woodlands, gardens, shrublands, and swamps.

female cardinal

The Northern Cardinal is a mid-sized songbird with a body length of 21 centimeters (8.3 inches). It has a distinctive crest on the head and a mask on the face which is black in the male and gray in the female. The male is a vibrant red, while the female is a dull red-brown shade. The Northern Cardinal is mainly granivorous, but also feeds on insects and fruit. The male behaves territorially, marking out his territory with song. During courtship, the male feeds seed to the female beak-to-beak. A clutch of three to four eggs is laid, and two to four clutches are produced each year. It was once prized as a pet, but its sale as cage birds is now banned in the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.

 American Kestrel:
 sometimes colloquially known as the Sparrow Hawk, is a small falcon, and the only kestrel found in the Americas. It is the most common falcon in North America, and is found in a wide variety of habitats. At 19–21 centimeters (7–8 in) long, it is also the smallest falcon in North America. It exhibits sexual dimorphism in size and plumage, although both sexes have a rufous back with noticeable barring. Juveniles are similar in plumage to adults.

The American Kestrel hunts by hovering in the air with rapid wing beats or perching and scanning the ground for prey. Its diet typically consists of grasshoppers, lizards, mice, and other small birds. It nests in cavities in trees, cliffs, buildings, and other structures. The female lays three to seven eggs, which both sexes help to incubate. It is a common bird to be used in falconry, especially by beginners.

Its breeding range extends from central and western Alaska across northern Canada to Nova Scotia, and south throughout North America, into central Mexico and the Caribbean. It is a local breeder in Central America and is widely distributed throughout South America. Most birds breeding in Canada and the northern United States migrate south in the winter. It is an occasional vagrant to western Europe.

 

devil inside movie

hellow !!
today i'll share with you guys that what kind of movie is that who is the director and the story is based on so i'm starting :

The Devil Inside is an American supernatural horror film directed and co-written by William Brent Bell. It is a documentary-style found footage film about a woman who becomes involved in a series of exorcisms during her quest to determine what happened to her mother, a woman who murdered three people as a result of being possessed by a demon. Produced by Morris Paulson and Matthew Peterman, the film stars Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quarterman, Evan Helmuth, and Suzan Crowley, and was released theatrically on January 6, 2012.

The film received extremely negative reviews from critics and audiences alike^. Despite the negative reaction, the film topped the box office on its opening weekend, yet continued to drop drastically in the second week, before disappearing completely from the box office top ten

cast :

• Fernanda Andrade as Isabella Rossi
• Simon Quarterman as Benji
• Evan Helmuth as David
• Ionut Grama as Mike
• Suzan Crowley as Maria Rossi
• Bonnie Morgan as Rosalita
• Brian Johnson as Lieutenant Dreyfus
• Preston James Hillier as Male Reporter
• D.T. Carney as Detective

plot :

On October 30, 1989, Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) committed a triple murder during an exorcism performed on her. The Catholic Church became involved, and she has since been in a Catholic psychiatric hospital in Rome. The film shows a news story and police investigation showing the three members of the clergy whom she murdered. Her daughter, Isabella, learned of the murders from her father, who died three days after telling her.

Twenty years later, Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) is in the process of filming a documentary about exorcisms, and to find out more about her mother, she visits a school in Rome. She meets two priests, Ben (Simon Quarterman) and David (Evan Helmuth). Ben and David take Isabella with them on an exorcism performed on Rosalita (Bonnie Morgan). They bring along medical equipment to determine if it's possession or mental illness. Rosalita attacks the crew after spouting out obscene remarks in different languages and accents. She calls Isabella by her name, despite not knowing her. Eventually, they get her under control.

When Isabella goes to visit her mother, Maria, in the asylum, she finds that her mother speaks in different accents and has paintings all over the walls. She has inverted crosses carved into her arms and her bottom lip. Maria tells Isabella that killing a child is against God's will, then lets out an ear-shattering scream. Isabella tells David and Ben that she had an abortion years ago and her mother had no way of knowing that--another sign that showed possible possession. As the crew prepares to perform an exorcism/analysis on Maria, David worries about losing his job, since the Church does not authorize exorcisms without undeniable proof that the patient is indeed possessed. During the procedure, Maria mentions knowing what Ben did in the past, as well as Isabella's child. She breaks free of her restraints and sends Ben flying into the door, also knocking David to the ground. The doctors rush in shortly after.

After analyzing the data from the video and audio files, they present the evidence to the Church. David shows many signs of stress, as Ben plays the audio files over and over, listening to the part where Maria says "I know what you did". Ben then finds that there are four different demons speaking in unison in a different clip. David is to perform a baptism at his church, in which Michael tags along to record. The service starts without incident until he holds the baby to start the Immersion Baptism. He then mutters some lines from the Bible and starts forcefully submerging the baby in the holy water, staring blankly at the camera. The crowd of people rush up to save the baby as he passes out.

Soon after, Ben finds David at home with blood all over his forearms, eyes rolled back into his head, much the way Maria was during the exorcism. The police arrive, and though it doesn't show on film, David somehow acquires an officer's handgun and holds it in his mouth. Ben tells him to fight it, but he begins to weep, reciting The Lord's Prayer, stopping right before the last few words. He laughs and then shoots himself. Just then, Isabella begins having a seizure.

Ben hysterically comes to the realization that Isabella is possessed. As they wait in the hospital, nurses rush into the emergency room and find a nurse on the floor, blood spewing from her neck as other nurses fight to restrain Isabella. Ben and Michael drag Isabella into the hallway and restrain her. They leave with Isabella in a car, heading to get help for a potential exorcism. While Michael drives, Isabella speaks of also knowing the horrible act Ben committed, scaring Ben. She then tries to strangle Michael but Ben is able to pull her off before Michael loses control of the car. He instantly shows signs of possession, and acceleration can be heard as they speed into oncoming traffic, headlong into another car. The camera goes black, and cuts in with short sequences of chaos, most likely of the vehicle flipping. As the screen finally cuts to black, a website (www.therossifiles.com) is shown, along with the statement that the case of the Rossi family has not yet been solved.

‘The Devil Inside’ movie review

Hollywood, how many more exorcism movies will you subject the public to before we’ve all had enough?

The first movie of the New Year had audiences excited for yet another film exploring the ritual of exorcism. However, a faux-documentary style leaves the camera so shaky; the audience could not decide whether to hurl from the cinematography or the action on the screen. Ever since The Blair Witch Project's, shaky cameras have it taken over the horror movie genera. The concept to make it look real is understood, but the excess movement is a bit much and, in truth, annoying.
The Devil Inside, released under Paramount Pictures’ indie label Insurge, is a young woman’s journey to find the truth about her mother, who allegedly killed three people during her own exorcism twenty years earlier. Set in 2009, she finds herself wanting answers. Where is a better place to explore the Catholic faith? Rome! It so happens this is where her mother is housed in a mental hospital. Once in the Internal City, Isabella meets two priests whose own unorthodox exorcism practices are the center of the plot.
The movie’s potential falls flat by relying heavily on the performances of the actors to carry it along. Just picturing director William Brent Bell telling the actors, “Act like your not acting” makes one sigh.
Whereas in the action is limited with the majority of the movie containing the characters fighting with one another. The best performance feature Suzan Crowley as the possessed mother of Isabella, is not necessarily memorable, but at times, acceptable. The extremely predicable film leaves no shockers for the audience and every jump can be expected before the first.
Finally, the ending, if you could call it that, was a ballsy and lazy move. The filmmakers even put a website up for the audience to go fill in all the plot holes they failed to conclude on screen. I believe the kid sitting in front of me said it best, “After all that and they give me a website.” Yep, they sure did.
Although after its successes in its first weekend at the box-office, The Devil Inside has potential, but fails with shaky cinematography, poor acting and plot holes. Horror movies have come a long way since the days of the original The Exorcist and Halloween, however no evolution could prepare one for this. In the survival of the fittest, it is a miracle this project survived.
