Since the beginning of time, people have always wondered why birds sing and chirp. The answer lies in “The Legend of the Birds.” Here is how it goes… Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a tree that reached to the heavens. Inside this tree there lived all the birds in the world of different breeds, color, shapes, and sizes. Now each bird lived peacefully in the tree speaking the language that humans do today. The flock of the birds included laws about obeying the rules, how to act, and the

Our modern birds, the Neornithes, has been divided into two “super-orders,” the Palaeognathae (ratites and tinamous) and the Neognathae (other bird orders). Palaeognathae itself is divided into two orders, the Strathioniformes and Tinamiformes. There are five extant species and two extinct species in the Strathioniformes, or the ratites. In total, there are at least 30 species within the ratites family. 16 of these species are now extinct. The rest of the extant species make up only 0.1% of the total

Dinosaurs and Birds      Are birds really dinosaurs or are they simply related? That is a question that has gained new life in recent years due to the overwhelming facts the are pouring in from newly found fossils and studies from fossils that have been found in the past. Two groups have formed in the study of this question: those who believe birds are a direct result of dinosaurs and those who feel dinosaurs and birds must have had a common ancestor.

Birds appear frequently throughout the story, especially in times of crisis. The birds often present themselves as omens for dangers that lie ahead. For instance, when Robert's team takes a wrong turn, "the fog is full of noises" of birds (80). Then the birds fly out of the ditch and disappear. Robert and Poole know that "[t]here must be something terribly wrong...but neither one knew how to put it into words. The birds, being gone, had taken some mysterious

Each life is fragile in its own way. If something is rushed into a new kind of living their not ready for, their life could get destroyed. If it gets destroyed then that is a loss of something that could have had a beautiful life. Although a short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst and a poem “Woman With Flower”by Naomi Long Margaret, they both share a common message that life should not be driven, life is delicate and precious. A life should be something that develops on its own at its own

displeasing to most people, bats, snakes, wolves, maggots, ants, and writes about them as living, loving animals-just like the rest of us. They are aware of the process that we have long forgotten. I was thinking about birds the other day. There were several of them feeding at my bird

A Feminist Reading of The Awakening   The Awakening is not new to me. However, in the class when I read it before the instructor refused to entertain a feminist criticism. The theory presented was that Edna knew what kind of man she was marrying and all these things she went through: her friendship with Madame Reisz leaving the house, entertaining her friends at the party, her situation with Robert and Arobin were all selfish efforts toward the ultimate freedom which is death. I feel

In his poem “The Great Scarf of Birds”, John Updike uses a flock of birds to show that man can be uplifted by observing nature. Updike’s conclusion is lead up to with the beauty of autumn and what a binding spell it has on the two men playing golf. In Updike’s conclusion and throughout the poem, he uses metaphors, similes, and diction to show how nature mesmerizes humans. In John Updike’s poem “The Great Scarf of Birds”, he uses diction and figurative speech to depict the beautiful autumn season

There are over 1000 species of birds found in the United States that are federally protected [1]. Those that are endangered or threatened need and deserve our special help and steps must be taken to protect them from population declines and extinction. However, hundreds of species--not considered to be in danger-- are still protected by federal law in a way that can prevent economic growth and the expansion of renewable energy in the United States. The 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and related
