Birds

Birds


This report is about birds. There were 3 questions asked. The questions were, what is a bird, why do birds fly in a V, and what are Three Types of Birds and explain each one. The first question is what is a bird.




What is a bird?


So, what is a bird you ask, well a bird is a unique animal. They are an animal with feathers, they are the only animal that can fly, not all birds can fly, Birds like Ostriches, and penguins cannot fly. They either run, walk or slide. There are about 9,700 types of birds. The fastest bird can go over 160 kilometers per hour. They use there wings like flippers.


Why do they fly in a V?

Birds fly in a V because the wind comes towards them and the bird in front cuts the find and when the front bird gets tired, it goes to the back and another bird goes to the front.


What are three types of birds and explain each.


The three types of birds this report will explain are the Puffin, the Owl, and the Penguin.


Puffin

A puffin is a cross between a penguin and a parrot. They only have a brightly coloured beak for a few months. The Puffin is a member of the Auk family and they only have 3 toes. They are fairly good fliers, and they make a lot of different sounds.


Owls.

Owls are very interesting animals, they can see in the Dark. There are 140 types of Owls, like the barn owl, the Bay owl, The Malay fish owl, the Snowy owl, and Pets fish owl, the little owl and much more. The Owl comes from all over the world. They are very cute animals, with big eyes.


The last animal I’m going to explain is the Penguin.

Penguin.

Penguins live in the Cold, and they are a flightless animal, and they cannot breathe under water. The mother penguin lays her egg on the ice, and then passes it on the father. And then the mother goes to the ocean to get food for the baby. The egg starts to crack after 2 months, but if the egg falls on the ice, the baby will die. Penguins can swim as deep as 870 feet.


Conclusion

Thank-you for reading this report and we hope you learned about birds.
