Extinct birds

Throughout my project, birds are a symbol of my personal progress as an artist and a writer, and the hope and faith I needed in order to start practicing. I thought that birds would be the most accurate way to convey this due to their general connotation of hope and freedom in literature, as it makes my message easier for the viewer to understand and relate to. In comparison, despite the positive connotations we have of birds, they often find themselves restricted by cages in a way that is similar

a devastating impact on grassland nesting birds including, the grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), upland sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda), and savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis). We need to assess how these grassland nesting birds are responding to increases in cropland cover. Our study compares the abundance of grasshopper sparrows, upland sandpipers, and savannah sparrows in grassland and crop cover types. North American Breeding Bird Survey count data was used along with 2011

Flyer the Bird Once, there was a bird named Flyer. His nest was way up at the top of an oak tree. The oak tree was surprisingly as thick as cumulus cloud, but not shaped liked one. One night, when Flyer was sleeping, a hunter caught him in a net, and Flyer immediately woke up. Flyer was having a good dream about his eggs hatching and feeling calm. But now, Flyer was really shocked. “Why in the world am I in here?” Flyer said. “I could be eaten by the hunter’s dog!” Fortunately, a tiny light showed

starting out with the flamingo exhibit. Being the morning, the flamingos were very active and showed off their brightly colored pink feathers to me. Moving on we visited all other kinds of birds like the Ground Hornbill, Lappet faced Vulture, Cassowary, Kookaburra, and many more. I could not believe how many birds there were and all with different markings. After gazing above tree we decided to look down inside the rocks at a Giant Tortoise. The shell helped to camouflage the big tortoise well, but

In the article, “Ancient DNA Reveals Elephant Birds and Kiwi are Sister Taxa and Clarifies Ratite Bird Evolution”, the researchers discuss the relatedness of the certain ratites. Ratites are flightless birds that includes the two birds in focus, the elephant bird and the kiwi. The kiwi is a small bird that is about a foot and a half tall, while the elephant bird can be 6-10 feet tall. Topics they discuss about the relatedness of these two species ranges from previous theories, the dispersion of their

EGG PRODUCTION- ARGUMENTATIVE So, are you one of those regular shoppers that go into the supermarket looking for the best deal for the lowest price? I wonder if it has ever crossed your mind about what sort of eggs you are buying, wether its free range or cage, but my other question to you is; do you really know what conditions these hens are living in? Well maybe the information below will help change your mind next time you go shopping! Believe it or not, over 90% of Australia’s eggs are caged

Numerous Great Plains birds were discovered for the first time. The Greater Sage Grouse, Least Tern, Common Poorwill, McCown's Longspur and Lewis's namesake species, the Lewis's Woodpecker were all described in great detail. A skin of the Lewis's Woodpecker is in Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology and is thought to be the only remaining intact museum specimen of all of the animals collected during the expedition. Lewis not only recorded the findings in his journal, but he sent

speech” by Michael H. Goldstein, Andrew P. King, and Meredith J. West “Social interaction shapes babbling: Testing parallels between birdsong and speech” by Michael H. Goldstein, Andrew P. King and Meredith J. West attempts to establish a connection between a social shaping phenomenon first documented in songbirds, and babbling in human infants. The findings in this research paper are important because they introduce social feedback mechanisms as an integral part of speech and song development in

A bird flies wildly about, twisting and diving. It is panicked, trying to escape the boy on the ground below, who hurls small, painful missiles at it from a slingshot. The creature of the air is a splendid sight; the wings are as if covered in jade paint and the tips dipped in a ferocious scarlet. The breast is a majestic solid blue, its throat a sulphur yellow. And the head and the tail both are a livid, dark purple: beautiful. Why shoot such a magnificent creature? This winged animal that soars

The Black Panther breathes just like the humans. Panthers use their lungs to breathe in and out. The breathing starts at the nose and their mouth. It then, travels down to the back of their throat, into the trachea. The trachea is a long tube in the panther’s neck that goes all the way through their chest, that carries air out and into their lungs. After that, the trachea divides into smaller passages called bronchial tubes. Bronchial tubes, are the tubes that carry air into the lungs of the panthers
