The eastern loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) has figured out a way to broaden their meal options to include poisonous insects and reptiles that other birds wouldn\u2019t dare touch. Shrikes impale their food on the spines or barbs of trees and fences. By doing this they can leave poisonous prey out for a few days while the active poison breaks down, and come back to enjoy a safe treat. <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/loggerheadshrike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn some of the other things that make the shrike a unique songbird.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-gwkrivs-56422a95b5df4a7111aadf59fca7212d main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  species-inner-content-intro-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-11512'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-gcwi9nc-fadaca9315ac2841b435b2dfab1bf295 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-13  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfu80cds-d6c821ae297f2b022b8a93cb2f881b9f'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>#2.

Bumble bees feed on nectar using a long tongue called a proboscis. The yellow-banded bumble bee (Bombus terricola) has a relatively short proboscis compared to some of its fellow bumble bee species so it will sometimes commit \u201cnectar robbery\u201d on flowers with longer petals. The bee will hold on to the flower with its legs and pierce the base of the petal and suck out the nectar with its proboscis.

Western painted turtle (Chrysemys picta bellii) is BC\u2019s only remaining native pond turtle, and can live to well over 50 years old \u2013 if they can survive infancy. To save this population experts recommend protecting nests, artificially incubating nests, headstarting young turtles for release and establishing a conservation breeding program. Since 2019, WPC has reared and released over 600 western painted turtles, and initial results suggest these individuals are thriving in the wild. <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/into-the-wild-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read about this spring\u2019s releases.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_12'  class='avia-section av-58zl35k-212126b582f157d259c149f644e687b9 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-52  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  species-inner-content-intro-wrapper avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-11512'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-hvwjmg-90c3904ae7d26aa239cdc7581f7479a8 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-53  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfu8m2zb-a50291d285a7a6658c88f888602447e9'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>#10.
