Birds are warm-blooded animals, which lay eggs, are covered with feathers, and have wings. There are thousands of different types of birds, and they can be found crow almost anywhere in the world, even the harsh environment of Antarctica, where the pen- guin resides. The largest bird on Earth is the ostrich, which can grow to heights over seven shadow feet tall. The smallest is the bee hummingbird native to Cuba, which grows to only 2 ½ inches in length. Birds are most well-known for their ability to ly. Some of them do not possess this skill b-e cause of undeveloped wings; the ostrich, penguin, emu, rhea, and kiwi are examples of birds that do match not ly. A bird’s ability to ly comes from the hollow, lightweight bones and its aerodynamic shape. All Match the crows to the shadows. birds have a beak from which they feed. Most beaks come to a point, allowing birds to easily catch insects, or to hunt prey. Other beaks are shaped to meet other needs, such as the bowl-like beak of the pelican, used to catch food by swimming to the ocean’ surface and scooping up ish in its mouth. The male bird in most species is brightly colored to attract a mate. The females are usually darker in comparison. Many birds migrate south for the winter. They remain in their homes until colder weather sets in, forcing them to look for food in other warmer locales. name that bird Fill in the spaces below with the words provided to determine what types of birds are listed.
