Birds are a monophyletic lineage, evolved once from a common ancestor, and all birds are related through that common origin. There are a few kinds of birds that don't fly, but their ancestors did, and these birds have secondarily lost the ability to fly. Modern birds have traits related to hot metabolism, and to flight: horny beak, no teeth large muscular stomach feathers large yolked, hard-shelled eggs. The parent bird provides extensive care of the young until it is grown, or gets some other bird to look after the young. strong skeleton There are about 30 orders of birds, about 180 families, and about 2,000 genera with 10,000 species.

Birds page 1 Introduction From the very start of recorded time we have been watching birds fly. They do such wonderful things: taking off, flying with twists and turns, soaring and diving, and landing again on a small branch. Fossil records show that birds have been flying for millions of years. prehistoric bird Man had to realize that he could not fly just like a bird. We are not made that way. It was not until man developed the internal combustion engine that he could deal with the problem of minimum weight and maximum power. internal combustion engine Everything about a bird is made for flight. In order to understand the natural flight of birds, we must first look at the structure of a bird. What makes a bird a bird? mallard duck There are common things that all birds have . We must explore the earliest birds and look at the actual mechanics of flying. In this way we can understand how birds take off, fly, and land. What Makes a Bird a Bird? Birds are unique. In the animal kingdom birds have two reasons for being special. First, all birds have feathers. And second, all birds live in a hurry. Everything about a bird is fast. They breathe faster than any other animal. Their heart beats faster, and their body temperature is higher. Birds have a backbone. Birds are warm blooded. This means that their body temperature remains the same even in differing temperatures. Birds lay eggs and defend themselves with a bill or a beak. All birds have wings, but not all birds fly.

That may be the way to get home from the wonderful Land of Oz, but for wild birds looking for a place to raise their families during spring nesting season, things can be a bit more complicated. You can play a helpful, interactive role during this season by placing nesting materials and birdhouses around your backyard, possibly enticing some of the many cavity nesting birds. Providing birdhouses can make your birds' lives a little easier. After all, they're expending lots of energy migrating, courting and looking for scarce food. Most of last year’s natural food sources have been depleted, and the majority of this year’s seeds and berries won’t be available until much later.

Articles about the house can be found here and here Goldsmith is obviously filling a niche for people who have more money than they know what to do with, and crafting beautiful pieces of artwork in the process. These people have a right to spend their money as they wish, of course, but I'm thinking it would be nice if some of it were put to good use on bird conservation projects rather than on decorative objects for their fancy gardens.
