Reasons for exporting bird feeders to France?  (grade 12 business class project)?

Yes, we do have lovely songbirds here but bird feeders are readily available already so you need to think of some sort of characteristic that your bird feeder has that the ones that we have do not have. You need a selling point.\n\nYour selling point should not be protection against squirrels because we don't have the American gray squirrel. The little red ones that we have don't live near people, they are very shy and do not attack bird feeders.\n\nMaybe they are easier to load, or hold more seeds without spoilage or maybe your feeder has a design that prevents wastage of seed falling to the ground. I haven't seen your feeder so I don't know how to sell it.\n\nYou can see the kind of feeders that we use on the web site of the LPO (League pour la Protection des Oiseaux).\n\nIf you can send me a picture of your feeder, maybe I can think of some more ideas.\n\n\nOh, yes, Thank you, Mr. Curious for your helpful comments.

Today there are old books on line because the copy wright has expired and many are being typed in a web site for all to read free. The farm as we know it was just emerging for the common man from life as a serf tied to the land owner. Many farmers in Europe were just allowed to use a piece of land. In New France some came out and claimed land just by marking it in an area protected by their soldiers. There is an amazing story of a French group being sold land on the  Ohio River that was totally undeveloped. The immigrants were all from down town Paris and were used to working one job for the aristocracy. When they had spent all their savings and traveled by ship and land to the river location they found huge trees and wonderful soil. Without proper tools they chopped tree after tree and then hollowed them out for a home. Animals and fish were obtained anyway they could. Gunpowder was there but scarce. The will to live away from the crazy Kings in Europe and the many wars allowed the spirit of the pioneers to be totally awesome. They stayed until a farm was made. The Louisiana French were taken by the English army and forced to beg among the New England colonies one winter . Life was never safe anywhere.

They are used for sport by thousands of fanciers worldwide. If you're asking are they used by militaries around the world, then - except in a few specialized instances - no.  They are sometimes used still to carry samples across city traffic by some med labs and to carry film for some companies which take photos of people on rafting trips.\n\nIf you'd like to find out more about racing pigeons, you can go to both the American Racing Pigeon Union site at: http://www.pigeon.org and the International Federation of Homing Pigeon Fanciers site at: http://www.ifpigeon.com/\n\nIf you're in Canada, there's also the Canadian Racing Pigeon Union at: http://www.canadianracingpigeonunion.com/

I'm also doing an environmental project (school). I found lots of interesting stuff by asking the people around here. Try that but don't say it's your homework or something.

I used to freeze and donate birds to Carnegie Museums. Is this what you want? I do have a microscope, but not so good at dissection.

Hey kiddo! I love to watch birds too! I put up a couple of hanging feeders from my tree. The squirrel proof one. It has springs on it so when a squirrel jumping on it, then feeders trays close. I've got squirrel food for them anyway, they can munch on their peanuts and sunflower seed chips.\nHave a great set of Binoculars. I've got a small set and keep them right on the window sill ready to use at a flying "What's was that?" moment. It's very relaxing to bird watch and a fun thing to do. Wish more kids did it, they probably be in a lot less trouble!\nIf your going to put up a feeder, figure out what birds are in your area, and buy the right feed that attracts them.\nSince your favorite is a Indigo Bunting and if there in your area my book says they like peanuts, millet and seeds. Fruits too. So throw some of that around and see what happens!\nHappy Bird Watching LOL\nSmileyCat : )\nThanks for the lesson on your favorite bird.\nI'll be talking to yha!

I just had to do a project on France for some future traveling I plan on doing, and www.cia.gov has a factbook.  This is an amazing feature and you will find everything there.  Give it a try!

I think we consider the idea of these researchers:\n\nGeochemist Christopher Romanek of UGA's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) can determine the telltale composition of elements he finds in a feather through stable isotope analysis.\n\n"He can analyze a feather and tell us if that bird came from either a coastal colony or an inland colony by the carbon, because the salt marsh ecosystems utilize a different carbon than do the inland systems," said Larry Bryan, research coordinator of SREL's wood stork program.\n\nThe type of nitrogen Romanek finds indicates whether a wood stork is eating top-level wetland predators, such as large bullheads and catfish, or creatures farther down the food chain, including minnows, bluegill, crayfish and tadpoles.\n\n"That's interesting because the higher you get up the food chain, typically, the higher mercury concentrations you're going to have in these aquatic organisms," Bryan said.\n\nFor more than 15 years now, SREL researchers have studied the endangered wood stork (Research Reporter, Winter/Spring 1996). During the past three years, Bryan has recorded mercury concentrations in wood stork nestlings. The concentrations amount to less than a millionth of a gram, but they are high enough for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to consider them potentially harmful. "Some of the nestlings could be at risk," Bryan said.

He can chase you for 100 metres but not 100 yards. If they are french onions then there are no guidelines, but if they are uk onions, then he would have to stick to very strict rules and not  carry them around in pounds. He can't sell the burnt chickens if they were burnt here, but he could export them to romania and then could buy them back.

I used to work for the United States Commercial Trade Service in San Francisco, and we deal with this sort of thing all the time. We connect small businesses here in the US with international vendors. Plus, it's a free service offered by the government, for the most part. If you want specific information, then they start charging you. Their website is www.export.gov \n\nGood Luck!
