study to investigate this phenomenon. The researchers looked at the behavior of the great spotted woodpecker versus that of the Eurasian hoopoe. These birds were observed using two different high-speed cameras, each using 2,000 frames per second. Pecking force was measured using a force/torque sensor that was implanted in the cages of these birds. Researchers specifically traced the bird’s abdomen, eyelid, cranial bone, and the tip of the beak using micro-CT scanning (Wang et al.,…

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.

However, the professor says that pterosaurs may be capable of flying and refutes each of the reasons presented in the article. First of all, both the author and the lecturer talk about the energy requirement of the flying process. The author claims that pterosaurs could be like the reptiles that live today in that they…

Anti-activists argue that cage free farms give hens more room to roam which will make them peck each other resulting in higher mortality rates than colony cages. (Brulliard, 2). They also contend that a cage free environment doesn’t always improve hen’s lives because they will end up living in crowded barns anyway. The egg industry reportedly complies with FDA rules regarding the use of antibiotics and is primarily concerned with preventing the spread of disease on factory farms. Inhumane…

predators and being on lookout for them. With all the older birds around the new young it helps them get food and to survive other animals trying to hurt them. Not every type of bird has this many helpers watching out for young that is not even theirs. A reason why the Florida Scrub Jays take care of young that is not theirs is to increase the survival rate of their own group. Sticking together protects the young and all the other birds from predators. Being…
