Bluebird

Their bright colors, readiness to nest in boxes, and close proximity make them a prime choice for study. This exact bluebird population has been previously tested to have a low parasitic prevalence, ruling out the parasite hypothesis (Carleton, Mertins, & Yabsley, 2012). Both parents equally engage in protection and feeding, so both sexes have equal chance to remove fecal sacs on feeding trips. I have hypothesized that the female hormones that influence brooding and parental behaviors (prolactin), in which males do not have as high of levels at the onset of hatch, could influence females to remove fecal sacs and feed their young more. To test this, not only will I use females as one set of controls to compare to non-hormone implanted males but also to compare to males with increased levels of prolactin. These males will be given similar quantities to females…

After analyzing both videos I found that the first presenter lacked emotions while reading the poem; as can be seen, she demonstrated a good eye contact while reading at a normal pace. However, near the end of the video she continuously looks down at her paper. Not to mention, the camera is only focused on her face; in that case, the audience cannot see the paper. Indeed, what gives her away is when she hesitated for a few seconds; that indicated she had lost track of where she was in the…

A violent father, who at the time was out of work frequently during the great depression and often took his anger and pain out on his son, beating him regularly, up until his teenage years, marred Bukowski’s childhood. The poet became reliant on alcohol at a young age and soon become a rather spiritless, underachiever as a way to rebel against not only his father, but the society that his father desired him to be a…

It is 1983 and Chris Wiggs is tired of his daughter Joanna carrying around these massive barbie dolls. He decided to no longer put up with it and create a smaller version of a doll instead. polly pockets they were named, mostly because of the fact that they were so small they could fit into your pocket. When he first designed these toys he had no idea they would be majorly popular for over 10 years, have many variations and eventually end in discontinuation. Bluebird Toys were the first to…

The typical breeding season of Eastern Bluebirds typically begins when they lay their first egg around the beginning of April and their last egg towards the final days of that month (Hall, 2013). The nestlings will not start fledging until early May, although there is variation until early September. We understand from researching the process of fecal sac removal that the fecal sacs will most likely not be removed until the first few weeks after hatching. The longer days of late spring and early…
