Unfortunately, your time of living can shorten due to the fact that the black mamba strikes repeatedly, and injects venom with each strike. So unless you’ve got antivenom besides you, you're a goner.

The attack I will never forget the day that I threw a rock then got attacked by a bird. It was a summer day and me and my mom were going to the river museum.

When looking at this photo, it leaves me with these two feelings because it seems mysterious and anxious to what this locked door may contain behind it.

devices that span language from the beautiful and sublime to vulgar and even scatological.” Due to the uplifting tone of many of her poems, they are extremely popular (Thursby 169). In “Still I Rise” she beautifully uses metaphors and similes, in “Caged Bird” she painstakingly reveals the hope in all things, and lastly in “Phenomenal Woman” Angelou shows the world that women are a powerful and hopeful force to be reckoned with.

Smeared blood, shredded feathers. Clearly, the bird was dead. But wait, the slight fluctuation of its chest, the slow blinking of its shiny black eyes. No, it was alive. I had been typing an English essay when I heard my cat's loud meows and the flutter of wings. I had turned slightly at the noise and had found the barely breathing bird in front of me. The shock came first. Mind racing, heart beating faster, blood draining from my face. I instinctively reached out my hand

much about the ecology, culture, and history of the newly established country. Not to mention, I obtained a new respect for ornithology and a new interest in birds. About the size of Manhattan and with a population of almost 350,000 people, Belize surprisingly holds approximately 500 species of birds. We were able to spot 135 species of birds during our stay and also learned about a few mutualism relationships. One of the greatest mutualism relationships is between the ants and the bullhorn acacias

Feeding wild birds is a big business that Americans spend over 4 billion dollars on each year and 2 billion more on feeders. My bird café is small, and my feeder isn’t always filled and ready for a bird and squirrel all day buffet. I’m more of a let it get empty and then I’ll try to fill it in a couple days bird feeder.
