Blue Bird

Bluebirds and Cardinals are perhaps the prettiest wild bird you will see outside your kitchen window. They have remarkable colors and many people have them as pets. Both Bluebirds and Cardinals are found in the same areas, in the northeastern and southeastern states. They are also located in the central region as well. Bluebirds are found in Mexico also. Cardinals are known to be red and Bluebirds are blue in color. The male bluebirds are a little bit different than the females.

The theme I will be following is identity. We all come from somewhere; we all have backgrounds and pasts; we all have an identity that’s more than just a name. September 30th of 1999, I entered this world. I was given the name Sherri, and I was full of potential. My personality could be shaped by anything, bits and pieces of who I am today were things I picked up in my past. I could tell you my life story, but I couldn’t exactly pick out how I came to be this way. To tell you about parts of my…

Common decency didn’t seem to exist east of the White Knife river. Was it something in the soil that prompted the Boltons and their kin to treat others with such disdain? As of yet, all Alysanne had done was eat and be married in her husband’s company. It baffled her that he could not even manage to muster the energy to put on even a ruse of chivalry. She had half a mind to stay seated right where she was and wait for him to announce himself to her properly, but this was not her home… not yet.…

My bird blue was not just my pet, but also he was my best friend that I even considered him as my son. On new years eve I went to a pet store having in mind that I was going to buy a dog because since I was a kid I always like dogs, but unfortunately I never got one because of the space that I was living; it was small. As I went inside the pet store, there were noises of all different kind of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits and birds. At first I noticed some cute chihuahuas and other…

The Birds are chirping, a cool wind is blowing, and the sun has just come up at Mary Blue Bird Middle School. All is peaceful and the sky is gloomy. The grass is mushy and muddy since it is 1st period and the grass has just been watered. Suddenly a horrifying scream, echos across the whole black top. It seems as if time has frozen and all is still. All the children look over to Anna who is wearing her long blonde hair in a messy high bun with bright blue volleyball shorts, a gray top, and shoes…

from beak to tail. Their wingspan can reach up to 60 inches. Many macaw species, such as the Blue and Gold Macaw, have long lifespans, averaging 60 years, and a lot of macaws live up to 80 years. It is not unusual for these birds to outlive their owners, so those who are interested in keeping macaws as pets should make provisions for their care similar to any heirs. Despite having 370 parrot species in the wild, breeders have bred hybrid macaws noted for their colors. Hybrid macaws…

For my final write up, I will be talking about interesting adaptions of the Great Blue Heron. From my research, I found that Great Blue Herons are foragers. They usually hunt alone, and can be found across much of the United States. The Great Blue Heron is the largest of the North American herons and can live up to 17 years of age. This species is often seen wading slowly through shallow areas of water, or standing absolutely still, staring into the water for prey such as fish and frogs. In…

Description: The great blue turaco is a blue bird that has yellow, blue, and black feathers. On its head it has black feathers that make it look like they have a mohawk. This bird can fly and lives for about 30 years. A male turaco is about M: 855-950 g – F: 820-1230 g and they grow to be about 70 centimeters long. They are also asymmetrical, because if you were to slice them down the middle they wouldn’t look the same, because they aren’t perfect like us. It may look like this…

Flamingos are fascinating and unique birds that demonstrate some of the oddities of evolution. From standing on one leg to gathering in flocks of more than one million, these large animals have been a subject of speculation for many years. Flamingos are large compared to most birds, as they stand 3.3-4.9 feet tall. Their large size would usually prohibit them from flying, but they have adapted to only weigh 4.4-8.8 lbs. They have hollow bones like most birds, and long skinny legs. The…
