parrot — a species that has been adapting so well to living in cities in California and Texas after escaping from the pet trade that the population may now rival that in its native country. The research comes amid debate over whether some of the birds flew across the border into Texas and should be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Parrots in U.S. urban areas are just starting to draw attention from scientists because of their intelligence, resourcefulness and ability to adapt. There is…

the most observed birds on campus are crows, whether they’re calling from the trees or stealing food from trash cans, they seem to be ever present. This is funny considering that they seemed to elude me every time I took the time to observe them. For as much as I couldn’t find them, I did make some very interesting observations that led me to my own conclusions about why they behave the way they do, and when they do it. As far as what crows look like, they’re fairly large birds- larger than a…

The article I choose to write about had to deal with the 150,000 Adelie penguins that died after an iceberg traps their colony off the coast of East Antarctica. Since 2011 when the huge iceberg the size of Rode Island broke off and isolated the colony only 10,000 are left from the original population of 160,000. This cut off the penguins main food supply and changed the landscape of the colonies habitat. The huge 1,210 square mile iceberg collided with the main land, which caused a land lock…

Some birds appeared in the faint blue sky flapping and soaring. All were blackish-brownish with a touch of white. They were flying a yard or maybe two and they’re coming really fast. They went “ Honk,honk.” “Where’re they going? I said. Why would so many birds go in one direction?” “It’s a sign,” Jim said gazing with an amazed look. “ When chickens fly in the same road. It’s the same way birds would go. “ I raced over to the canoe, I grasped the gun, I got back to…

Introduction Emperor penguins huddle together to survive in the freezing Antarctic with mild temperatures under -70oC. (figure 1). When the huddling procedure is used, the heat is transferred between penguins and half the amount of energy is required survive. • The huddling process of penguins are classified as a population as they are one type of species working together in the same area. (Gordon,2013). These huddling processes are affected by both abiotic and biotic factors. Abiotic factors…

In one of the most often inhospitable environments, with 98% of the land covered in ice, winds ranging from 8 kilometers an hour to 64 kilometers an hour, fluctuating climates that potentially reach incredibly cold temperatures down to -89 degrees Celsius, continuous daylight during summer, and storms that arrive rapidly in which potentially cause incredibly contrasting weather patterns within relatively short distances, lives the Emperor Penguin. Consequently, the Emperor Penguin has many…

In the existence of High Tech High and its apparent triumph of redefining student success and achieving it wholeheartedly through the film’s focus on Samantha and Brian, presents a positive portrayal of the potential benefits of such a unique curriculum for competency of “soft skills” rather than rote memorization of content knowledge. This is significant as it implies a direction for K-12 education to reform its focus from that of the educational purpose of social mobility to instead the…
