Birds They are bipedal, warm blooded, oviparous vertebrate animals characterized primarily by feathers, forelimbs modified as wings, and (in most) hollow bones. All birds reproduce sexually, although parthenogenetic eggs are known to be produced by the domesticated turkey on occasion and are suspected to occur in its wild ancestor. Wikipedia Birds range in size from the tiny hummingbird to the huge Ostrich. Depending on the taxonomic viewpoint, there are about 8,800 to 10,200 living bird species (and about 120-130 that have become extinct in the span of human history) in the world, making them the most diverse class of terrestrial vertebrates. Parrots Birds feed on nectar, plants, seeds, insects, fish, mammals and carrion. Bird feeders are often used for home birdwatching, and many people keep webcams trained on feeders where birds often congregate. The most familiar feeders supply seeds such as millet, sunflower, safflower, thistle, and rapeseed or canola seed. They are also bird feeder designed to supply nectar for the hummingbird.

Print Birds in Costa Rica by Christopher Baker ; created 1995 In William Henry Hudson's Green Mansions, his great romantic novel of the American tropics, the young hero Abel is lured into the jungle by the mysterious call of an unseen bird. So stirred is he by the siren song that he follows the haunting sound deeper and deeper into the forest until he eventually discovers the source: a lovely, half-wild girl called Rima, who has learned to mimic the sounds of the birds. The birdlife of Costa Rica is so rich and so variedand often so elusivethat at times it seems as if Rima herself is calling. With approximately 850 recorded bird species, the country boasts one-tenth of the world's total. More than 630 are resident species; the remainder are occasionals who fly in for the winter. Birds that have all but disappeared in other areas still find tenuous safety in protected lands in Costa Rica, though many species face extinction due to deforestation. The nation offers hope for such rare jewels of the bird world as the quetzal and the scarlet macaw, both endangered species yet commonly seen in protected reserves.

Following in the footsteps of Wilson, Audubon, and Bent, BNA makes a quantum leap in information beyond what these historic figures were able to provide. The print version of BNA was completed in 2002, a joint 10 year project of the American Ornithologists' Union, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the Academy of Natural Sciences. Now as an online project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BNA is poised to become a living resource. Account contents are updated frequently, with online-coordinated contributions from researchers, citizen scientists, and designated reviewers and editors. In addition, BNA Online contains image and video galleries showing behaviors, habitat, nests, eggs and nestlings, and more. And each online species account contains recordings of that bird's songs and calls, selected from the extensive collection in Cornell's Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds.

Contact Us Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Search: Avian Influenza (Flu) Spread of Avian Influenza Viruses among Birds Email this page PDF formatted for print (177 KB/2 pages) Flu Viruses Avian Flu Viruses Spread among Birds Avian influenza viruses circulate among birds worldwide. Certain birds, particularly water birds, act as hosts for influenza viruses by carrying the virus in their intestines and shedding it. Infected birds shed virus in saliva, nasal secretions, and feces. Susceptible birds can become infected with avian influenza virus when they have contact with contaminated nasal, respiratory, or fecal material from infected birds. Fecal-to-oral transmission is the most common mode of spread between birds. Low Pathogenic versus Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses Avian Influenza Outbreaks in Poultry Domesticated birds may become infected with avian influenza virus through direct contact with infected waterfowl or other infected poultry, or through contact with surfaces (such as dirt or cages) or materials (such as water or feed) that have been contaminated with virus. People, vehicles, and other inanimate objects such as cages can be vectors for the spread of influenza virus from one farm to another. When this happens, avian influenza outbreaks can occur among poultry.
