INTRODUCTION
Their are numbers Of variety of birds and animals.
The study of birds which is called ornithology includes their habit, habitat, migration, nesting, feeding and breeding.
Birds watching is a favourite pastime of not only naturalist and researchers, but also of amateurs.
MIGRATION
1) Speaking of long distances, the northern wheatear travels up to 9,000 miles each way between the Arctic and Africa, giving it one of the largest ranges of any songbird. What makes this an amazing feat is that the tiny bird weighs less than an ounce, on average.
2)Even birds that don’t fly migrate. Emus, the large Australian birds, often travel for miles on foot to find food, and many populations of penguins migrate by swimming.
HOUSE SPARROW
House Sparrow is a social (gregarious) bird. Average lifespan of House Sparrow is between 10 to 14 years.
Nesting and breeding season varies according to climate and usually extends from March to September or throughout the year.
Nest is placed in a hole in wall or ceiling, niche, gargoyle, inverted lamp shade, and in every conceivable situation within or on the outside of a tenanted building.
MACAW BIRD
With their large sickle-shaped beaks, macaws can crack open hard-shelled seeds and nuts, dislodging the nutmeat with their blunt muscular tongues. The beak also serves as a third foot as the macaw climbs about in trees searching for seeds, as well as fruits, flowers, and leaves.
One species, the blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna), has been recorded eating at least 20 species of plants, including many toxic to humans. In Manú National Park in Peru, the members of five macaw species converge by the hundreds at mineral-rich riverbanks to eat the clay there, which may help them detoxify compounds in their diet.
VULTURE
A group of vultures perching together is called a “committee,” “venue,” or “volt.” When in flight they are called a “kettle,” and when feeding together at a carcass, they are referred to as a “wake.”
The larger vulture species require a habitat that allows them to see or smell carrion while they soar in the sky. This means their habitats usually include plains or savannas, although some live in open mountain regions. Some smaller vulture species can be found in suburban areas.
NOCTURNAL OWL
The type of food owls eat depends on the species of the owl. These birds feed entirely on living animals with the size of the prey proportional to the size of the bird, from insects to mammals as large as hares.
