A Good Day For Cyclists Painted By Sarah Tynan

The brown pelican has an intricate digestive system in its body. For example, the bird’s digestive system is specially adapted for consuming fish. In contrast, Pelecanus occidentalis cannot digest large fish bones, such as those from different kinds of sport fishes. Bird beaks and bills act as a mouth for the pelican. When food enters the birds’ bill, the food is sent down the esophagus to the stomach (proventriculus). The pelican then stores the food in the crop, a temporary storage solution for food for birds (Kennedy, 2005). In addition, the crop also allows the pelicans’ food to soften after entering the stomach. There are two parts of the stomach in Pelecanus occidentalis: the proventriculus and the gizzard (Kendrick 2010). In the proventriculus, specialized cells secrete pepsin. Furthermore, the food is then passed on to the gizzard, where it grinds it down to make it easier for the digestive enzymes to break down the food. Another part of the pelican’s digestive system is the small intestine, where food is digested and absorbed. The last part of the bird’s digestive system is the cloaca, which holds the waste products of digestion until they are expelled out through the vent. In addition, the large intestine connects the small intestine to the cloaca.

In the articles “The Great Bird Poop Disaster" and "How to Solve the Problem of Bird Poop" both by Anna Starecheski. It talks about how there is a huge problem with birds coating our cities and streets is gooey, slippery piles of white and black poop, but is there a solution of some of the maney problems caused by this epidemic. In the article “The Great Bird Poop Disaster” it talks about how there are a lot of problems that are caused by bird poop, one is that it has acid in it so it is corrosive. In the article, it says “At the center of a bird dropping is a black substance; that is poop. The white, gloppy stuff is the urine, which consists mainly of uric acid. Uric acid is corrosive. That means it can eat away at the surfaces of buildings and bridges. Bird poop can also ruin everything from the paint on your mom’s car to your favorite T-shirt. In the U.S., pigeons cause about $1.1 billion in damages every year.” (Starecheski 18). This shows that this isn't just a little inconveniences, no it's a big deal that if it is not fixed soon the U.S will be deeper in debt than bird poop. This is why squinted across the world are trying to find a solution to this problem that spreads across the world. In the article "How to Solve the Problem of Bird Poop" It talks about some of the solutions that we have tried and some that we still use to try to get some of the birds to leave. In the article, it says “Placing spikes on window ledges, bridges, fences, and other areas where birds

Particularly in 'Barn Owl' and 'The Spelling Prize', Harwood examines children's sadness as they go on their journey from innocence to experience. As time progresses and children begin their development towards adulthood, certain experiences and the way they respond to them can have a significant impact on their growth. In reference to the poem, 'Barn Owl', Harwood suggests that through experiencing and seeing it with their own eyes, they begin to realise the horror of reality. It can have an impact on children's growth as it will be a memories that will be with them permanently. Harwood goes on a journey where she transitions from being an 'obedient, angel-mind' child into a child who has unwittingly tortured an innocent creature. The fact that

In the article “the great bird poop disaster” and “How to solve the problem of bird poop” both by Anna starecheski the elaborate that there are many problems of bird poop and there's many solutions.

This shows that bird poop is a problem and can be very dangerous if lots of it builds up it can break or destroy many things we love. On the other hand a solution is provided in the article” how to solve the problem of bird poop” because it Gives examples of how we can stop the bird population

Many works of art including paintings and pictures in the early 1900s involve the cons of racism. A lot of these works include the topic of racism very inconspicuously. In 1912, Lyonel Feininger published a painting named The Bicycle Race. Within the painting, Feininger hid small gleams of racism that some would not notice at first glance. The painting includes multiple men all cramped together competing in a bike race. The painting is very geometrical and does not show much detail to the people or bikes. After looking closely, it could be seen that the man in first place is white. The people behind the white man have darker skin but are still not in last, riding in somewhat of a line. Trailing behind is an African American, with no one else around him, in last place. Feininger attempts to show his viewers the hardships African Americans face against all other races. By leaving the black man in last place it shows the inferiority of that

I have shown a variety of both livestock and general projects in my ten years as a 4-H member. My first livestock project was Mallard ducks and since then my waterfowl project has expanded. I showed my Mallard ducks for five years. Unfortunately a mink killed my entire flock. After I lost my flock, I was given a set of Giant African Dewlaps from a family friend which I named Linus and Lola. A few years later the same family friend offered to give me his pair of Giant Toulouse Dewlap geese. He was having difficulty finding someone to take care of them when he traveled and felt they could have a better home with me. I have shown these geese at the Illinois State Fair and have won Best Heavyweight Goose and Gander and Reserve Best Heavyweight

Sarah pulled down the visor mirror and peeked at Painted Girl in the backseat. Painted Girl stared gloomily at the landscape passing them by. Sarah could only guess at her thoughts. She is probably worried that Grandfather will pitch a fit when he learns about their change in arrangements. Sarah sighed. Painted Girl was a miniature version of Grandfather. Family, heritage, honor above all else. Sarah did not want traditions hindering her life, but she knew deep down that they were important to her family. Her father, however, never had time to teach her about life as a Native American before he died. She had grown up in an Anglo world; far from any reservations; only Grandfather and his community center connected her to her heritage.

A sibling is only missed once he or she has moved out. The donut isn’t nearly as good when it is being eaten, as it seems to be once it is gone. Things are easily taken for granted, as seen in Meredith Hall’s “Killing Chickens.” Hall incorporates her own personal stories, heartache, expirences, and family to reveal to the reader the act and effect of underappreciation. Through short syntax, imagery, and a distant tone, Hall shows how easy it is for things to be taken for granted.

The 19th century west was a male society. There is a contrast seen on the frontier; deprivation and hardship as well as nobility and glamor. The imagery is hard to overlook, a rugged crowded saloon filled with “painted ladies” and boisterous clientele. “The environment and the women- both bawdy and rollicking-complemented each other perfectly.” 1 These women were standard fixtures in the image of the west. Just as one would envision the one-dimensional character of a miner or cowboy, there is the dance hall girl. The emergence of their role of importance in the frontier institutional development.

The greater prairie chicken is a stocky chestnut, firmly banished grouse with paler shaded stripes, most effectively perceived by the male's particular and great appearance amid romance presentation. Amid the male's presentation, unmistakable, stretched pinnae (adjusted neck quills) get to be raised over the head, and substantial yellow-orange air sacs in the neck or greater the eye get to be swelled. Both genders have these noticeable neck quills yet they are longer in guys. The genders can likewise be recognized by the short, square tail being dull chestnut in guys, yet banned cocoa and tan in females.

To achieve the full effect of managing for wildlife and timber, and individual must be very knowledgeable of both things. You must know how each species of wildlife is affected when harvesting timber in an area (Halterman, 1973). Wild turkeys have been known to use pine plantations that have been burned in the past 6 years, more than any forest type when nesting. These plantations are anywhere from 13 to 18 years old, with each of them being thinned at least one time (Smith, 1990). Studies in east-central Mississippi show that wild turkeys have almost doubled the home range area during the winter when compared to summer . Studies show that wild turkeys use pine plantations less during the winter and prefer

I watched a video by Margaret Heffernan. The speech started off by talking about an evolutionary biologist at Purdue University named William Muir who studied chickens as a way to examine productivity. He did so based on egg production.

The raising of poultry mainly fulfills the purposes of meat,eggs and feather production, and sometimes for religious ceremonies (Scanes et al., 2004). Poultry are efficient converters of feed to food. Food of poultry origin serves the highest nutritional values, with egg being not only delicious but extremely nutritious and balance of all nutrients (Scanes et al., 2004).
