The Scaled Quail By Rebecca Robertson

The cardinal is a ground feeder and finds food while hopping through forests and shrubbery. The adults diet consists of insects, spiders, wild fruits, berries, and weed seeds. They feed their young almost exclusively on insects. In the winter, Cardinals eat more seeds and berries since insects are

Animal consumers have important roles in ecosystems. These roles include determining plant species composition and structure, regulating rates of plant production and nutrient, and altering soil structure and chemistry. This study was conducted to determine whether the activities of small mammals regulate plant maximum height and foliage cover area in Chihuahuan Desert shrublands and grasslands. When rabbits and rodents were given access to the plants, there was not a significant difference in plant height compared

They can be found in the rain forests and at clay cliffs running along the river banks. However, because of deforestation and the illegal pet trade, the Green Wing Macaw has been put on the endangered species list. It will probably only be through captive breeding that this lovable bird stays off the extinct species list. Their main source of food is speckled sunflower, high in protein. They also consume white sunflower, shelled oats, corn seed, peanuts, pine nuts, hemp and buckwheat. You can supplement their diet with tropical fruit, vegetables and various nuts.

The process by which certain birds form attachments during a critical period very early in life is called:

This animal regions in the Asian region, Americas region. The harrier migrate from Canada to the Caribbean and southern America in the winter. They are found in the northern hemisphere and rarely breed in the Atlantic coastal states.

The Australian King Parrot is found in several areas of Australia. They like to live in Australia's rainforests and the sclerophyll forests.

Since I was a kid, I have always had a best friend and this print teaches me how birds have friends too. When I was new to my old school, I didn’t have my best friend so I felt alone, but as time went on I learned to make new friends. My friends and family mean a lot to me and to birds they mean everything. The way I see it, is that both of them are hunting together, similar to the way I spend time with my friends with activities my friends and I enjoy. These two birds seem like they have been sitting on the branch for hours, waiting for their meal. These birds are different than us on a friendship level because we have a choice of who are friends are. If a bird runs into each other I feel like that is who their friend will be. As time moves on, the friend they have met becomes family. If a bird has family, they shall stick together for as long as life gives

Suspected Current Location- Can be found in waters of coastal United States. Primary nesting areas include Florida and Georgia. Preferred habitat is the open ocean, and preferred nesting beaches are mainland sites facing deep water.

In fact, it is the largest avian breeding ground in the United States. (Critical Ecosystem, 2016).

The males choose the nesting place which is ideally in a large tree near bodies of water. They live in the Black Hills but, with sites like these declining it is making it hard for the population to expand.

The animal from my March field guide that I chose to report on is the Common Ground Dove. The common name for this bird is the Common Ground Dove and its scientific name is Columbina passerina. The bird was located outside my house in Crystal City, Texas. The Common Ground Dove looked as if it was in search of food, while it walked on the front lawn. It then flew away when approached. My opinion is that the size of the bird affected its decision to fly away. Since it is a small bird, it is more fearful of bigger animals. This bird is found in the southern U.S, Mexico, central America, the Caribbean Islands, and the northern part of South America. They are found in open areas that have bushes and trees. They can also be found in forests with

The Least Weasel is a secondary consumer (carnivore). They have to eat 40%-60% of their body weight every day, because of this they mainly eat rodents like rabbits, voles, lemmings and hares. If they get really hungry they will occasionally eat insects and amphibians during the summer. They hunt hunt night and day but stay within close range of there home. But what they eat is different than what eats them. The predators of the Least Weasel are other Weasels, snakes,

Quail is a small game bird, much the same size as a Cornish game hen, for that reason more than one will be needed for an entrée, good rule of thumb is one per adult. The meat of a quail is dark and has a very delicate flavor. Quail is a good choice when you want to introduce children or adults to wild game, who find wild game to have too strong of a taste. Wild game meat doesn’t have the tenderness of domestically raised animals, so it can easily be overcooked accidentally, which will make the meat rubbery and tough. The best way to cook quail is quickly and by paying attention during the cooking process.

The ameraucana chicken lives in almost all of North America, and some of South America. The chicken lives in shady wooded areas, because of all of the bugs and berries. The
