Today I started from not quite the start of my Science course but close and I started at the bird study if you were wondering why I did it in that order it is because we had a gerbil but it died because we found it in the sump pump hole where all our water flows and the fur on the gerbil was all removed and we need it to do observations about it.
And here is a picture of a light brown gerbil:
Ok so on to the birds.
So we all know that bird can go from boring and lame to awesome and colourful like you see on this won it’s colourful! Yay!!!
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterized by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) bee hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or “perching” birds. Birds have wings whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which evolved from forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming.
That’s all, hope you enjoyed!
