Four chicks were born on top of Mack-Cali building (101 Hudson St)

Here’s a nice story that happened in downtown, JC and was captured on tape by a WNBC reporter: A family of Peregrine Falcons has been living on top of Mack-Cali Building. The adult falcons originally had four chicks, but only two females chicks survived.

…The two female chicks were born on top of the 41-story building overlooking the Hudson River. The objective was to remove the chicks from the nest and bring them inside. That process took only a few minutes as the scientist walked out and took cover under an umbrella as the agitated and very aggressive adult Falcons nose dived onto them like F-16 Fighter Jets…

Ever wonder what these falcons like to eat? According to the news: pigeons! And Jersey City, as we all know, has lots of ‘em! No wonder these falcons are huge!

The Peregrine Falcon chick was noisy when it was given an identification by the scientist.

Full news and a five-minute video here.

Last seen on Bergen Avenue, Jersey City.

Have you seen this adorable dog?

Here’s the post on JCList:

…Mikey is a 5lb yorkie who lives on Bramhall near Martin Luther King. He ran out the front door and was last seen on Bergen Avenue. If anyone has seen him, please call Denise at: 908-217-2336…

I’ve also learned that the owner is offering a large cash reward for his return. So if you see the dog, call Denise right away.

Study says dogs reduce allergies. Photo Credit.

Here in my tiny little place in Jersey City, people know it’s Spring when they hear me sneezing multiple times in the morning. Needless to say, I hate allergies, and I hope one day it will magically go away.

Anyway, there was a study shown in the news that dogs reduce allergies in kids. In a nutshell, the study says that growing up with pets trains a person’s immune system. Early exposure with germs helps our body to get used to it.

Here is a snippet of the online news:

…The finding, based on a six-year study of 9,000 children, lends weight to the theory that growing up with a pet trains the immune system to be less sensitive to potential triggers for allergies like asthma, eczema and hay fever….

I guess too much cleanliness is not good for the health. And before I sneeze again, I have one question : Are they going to make an allergy study for adults, too?

As a bonus, here’s a 1-min 20-sec video of a pug that says “I love you.”

They’re all at your mercy.

These dogs need owners, otherwise, they will be “terminated”. The thing is, there are more of them. They are waiting and have no clue what’s going to happen to them. Are they going to be put to death? Or are they going to enjoy an extended happy life in a new foster home?

So if you love dogs and you want to save their lives, you can adopt them and put them in a nice shelter so they can avoid being a victim of euthanasia. If you can’t, at least spread the words to your dog-loving friends. Visit this website to look at the pictures of the poor dogs: http://animaladoptions.weebly.com/index.html

Personally, if I could afford one, I’ll take one. The least I can do is to make sure this information goes out before it’s too late.
