period, they don't have the same sounding songs as caregivers; brain areas actually show less volume overall! Less brain region dedicated to the task of learning species specific sounds. In conclusion, bird song is a complicated system that comes together to produce what we all know to recognize as bird song in our everyday…

Brontë’s choice to associate Jane Eyre or Edward Rochester with birds represents their dependency on one another. In the beginning of their relationship, Jane is dependent on Rochester for financial and social reasons. As their relationship develops, she becomes more dependent on his love than his money. In both of these cases, Rochester describes Jane as a bird. But when Jane asserts her independence, she realizes she cannot identify as a bird anymore because she has free will. Ultimately,…

study a lot beforehand. Next it was time to show my birds my mom and I carried the birds to the cages in the show ring and the judge began to work. It didn't take as long as showmanship, I was happy about that. The judge asked a few questions about my birds, he asked where I bought them from, how old they were, and what breed they were. He also told me that Buddy, the crooked beaked…

On the first day of setting up we chose a farther site away from others deeper in the woods. The first time checking the cups we got two common ground beetles which are know as pterostichus Broad prothorax with denticulate hind angles; crossed elytral epipleural; body length greater than 12 mm; basal fovea of the prothorax bistriata with a more or less pronounced tubercle in center and a strong lateral carinae. Last tarsal segment setose underneath; wings often full; body deep black with dark…

On November 12, 1966, five men who were digging a grave at a cemetery near Clendenin, West Virginia, claimed to see a man-like figure fly low from the trees over their heads.[5] This is often identified as the first known sighting of what became known as the Mothman. Shortly thereafter, on November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant, Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette, told police they saw a large grey creature whose eyes "glowed red" when the car headlights…

I love my parrot. He is a very sweet tempered, friendly parrot. I have had him for 13 years. My opinion on having a pet parrot has been shaped over the years. I went in to the decision pretty well informed about the responsibility involved. I had lived with a roommate who had several parrots. They are beautiful, intelligent pets. However, when I made the decision to get a parrot, I was a different person leading a different life. Single, no kids and living with one very tolerant roommate.…

This month we had an assembly on animals. the speaker taught us about animals like a Bearded Dragon, a blue tongued lizard, and a kangaroo,carpet python, parrot, and a tarantula. She was very smart and taught us a lot. This is what I learned. The bearded dragon lives in the desert and changes color to cool off during the day or warm up at night. When they are hot they pant like dogs and breathe hard. At night when their cold, several dragons lay on top of each other to warm up. These dragons…

On the second day however it was mostly dedicated to the identification of the kingdom of insects that surrounded the freshwater biome. After the morning ablutions, the group was given some education into the proper use of the equipment that was provided in order to begin the Bio Blitz, which was essentially a search and identification program. Within this period of time, the sweeping of both land and airborne insects would be caught and placed into confinement for proper tagging and…

I chose to observe the black vultures or Coragyps atratus (The Cornell lab of Ornithology, 2015). There is a small flock of three black vultures that are common in my neighborhood. All three black vultures appear to be roughly 2 feet tall, and an estimated 5 pounds. I was lucky enough to observe one of the black vultures expand their wings, and this vulture’s wingspan was roughly 4 feet wide. I based my estimates on the surroundings of the vultures including a fence and vehicle. Black vultures…
