There are two layers of the iris which contain melanocytes, the stroma is the outermost layer, containing loosely packed melanocytes, the innermost layer, located closer to the rear of the eye, is the epithelium which contains densely packed melanocytes. All kittens are born with blue eyes, which if they are going to change colour, will have done so by around 8 weeks of age. Here's my cat Nina, enjoy!!! Cat EyesYou can find House Sparrows most places where there are houses (or other buildings), and few places where there aren’t. Their constant presence outside our doors makes them easy to overlook, and their tendency to displace native birds from nest boxes causes some people to resent them. But House Sparrows, with their capacity to live so intimately with us, are just beneficiaries of our own success. House Sparrows have a rather simple song of one or a series of cheep or chirrup notes. It’s mainly given by males, who repeat it incessantly during much of the year to announce that they possess a nest and to attract females. Females only rarely use this song, typically to attract a new mate after losing one. Enjoy!!! Source: allaboutbirds.org Calling for a Mate |
