What does it mean when you dream about a bird that flies in your house through the window then flies back out through the same window?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I heard on a programme about dreams that your brain has a buffer, a bit like a computer buffer, that can take incoming data (like a tap on the shoulder) hold it in store for a split second and allow you to create a short dream that allows the input to make sense. Like when there is a fire in your dream and the fire bell is actually your alarm going off. I remember once having a dream where my bare foot touched something really hot and I jumped awake to find that the blankets had come off my foot and I had actually touched the iron bedstead (which was in fact very cold!).

Do foxes eat sunflower seeds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The American black bear (ursus americanus) is an omnivore with a voracious appetite in the fall as it's preparing for hibernation.

The diet of a black bear includes the following:

  • Vegetation: up to 85% of total diet
  • Will eat, but not seek out roots, bulbs, corms and tubers.
  • In the spring they feed on carrion and newborn ungulates (antelope, elk)
  • They enjoy new shoots and tree/shrub buds.
  • Summer diet includes berries, fruits, buds.
  • Autumn diet includes hazlenuts, oak acorns, pine nuts, huckleberries.
  • They always enjoy insects (bees, yellow jackets, ants)
  • They seek out honey.
  • Fishing at night for salmon, and anytime for suckers, trout, catfish.
Black bears do not eat sunflower seeds normally in the wild, but if they come into a populated area, they are known for robbing bird feeders, and there they might find sunflower seeds.
