The document describes the nesting behaviors of several bird species. Pigeons build flimsy nests of straw and sticks on ledges, often of buildings. Eagles build large nests called eyries in tall trees or cliffs and often the older chick will kill the younger. Parrots nest in tree hollows and lay white eggs. Ducks nest on the ground near wetlands using dried grass and feathers. Sparrows make coarse nests often next to each other and sometimes sharing walls. Hummingbirds weave compact nests out of twigs, fibers and leaves anchored with spider silk and lay eggs the size of navy beans.

Butterflies have a complete metamorphosis life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult. Caterpillars consume plant leaves as they grow and develop various defenses like camouflage and stinging hairs. During pupation, the caterpillar undergoes transformation within its hardened case. As an adult, a butterfly has two pairs of colorful, scaled wings and a coiled proboscis for drinking nectar from flowers. Butterflies play important ecological roles through pollination and as both a food source and pest.Aves Project

Aves refers to the classification of birds. Birds come in a variety of sizes and colors from two inches to ten feet. A bird's internal transport system includes a gizzard for grinding food and intestines for absorbing nutrients. Birds are endothermic and regulate their temperature through metabolism. They reproduce sexually, with fertilization occurring internally. While some birds like penguins cannot fly and swim instead, birds generally fly through powered flight. Their diet consists of various plants and small animals. Birds are important to ecosystems and some species are endangered or extinct.Rotation life of butterfly

Ms. Tilton's 4th grade class will learn about bird anatomy and how different parts relate to functions like flight. They will use tools like binoculars to identify bird families by shape. Feathers provide insulation, waterproofing and reduce friction for flight. Different feather types serve different purposes. Bird feet are shaped for tasks like swimming, wading and grasping prey. Beaks are specialized for food sources like insects or flesh. Wing shape relates to flight type, with pointed wings for speed and broad wings for forest maneuvering.Birds presentaci坦n powerpoints (1) copia

A butterfly is an insect with six legs, three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), two antennae with knobs, and four scaly wings. Butterflies go through four life stages: egg, larvae/caterpillar, pupa, and adult. As adults, butterflies eat nectar from flowers. They are found worldwide but most common in tropical areas like rainforests. Many species migrate to avoid poor conditions. Butterflies can be affected by diseases, parasites, and insecticides. Some species found in Pakistan include the monarch, common Mormon, common blue Apollo, and Baltia butleri.Butterflies

The document summarizes the four life cycle phases of a butterfly:
1. Eggs are laid on leaves and hatch into caterpillars.
2. Caterpillars molt several times as they eat voraciously.
3. When fully grown, the caterpillar attaches itself and forms a chrysalis where it undergoes metamorphosis.
4. An adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis with wet wings that soon harden and allow it to fly while feeding on nectar and searching for mates.Birds

Birds have feathers that help them fly and stay warm. They preen and molt feathers regularly. Birds have fast digestion and eat high protein foods like seeds and insects since they lack teeth. Their light skeletons and powerful muscles allow flight through lift generated by air moving over wings. Birds build nests and care for young through brooding or by having precocial or altricial chicks. There are many kinds of birds including flightless, water, perching, and birds of prey.Feathers types
Feathers typesShahida Aziz

There are seven categories of feathers on birds: wing feathers which are specialized for flight; tail feathers which support precision steering; contour feathers which cover the body and streamline its shape; semi-plumes which have a fluffy insulating structure; down feathers which are short and trap body heat; filoplumes which function like whiskers to sense other feathers; and bristles which may protect the face. Each feather type serves an important role such as allowing birds to fly, show off, blend in, stay warm and dry. Feathers have evolved into specialized structures for efficient flight or extreme ornamental displays.Birds

1,251 species of butterfly can be found in Costa Rica, which is about 10% of the world's butterfly species. One reason for this biodiversity is that millions of years ago, Costa Rica and Panama formed a land bridge between North and South America, allowing plant and animal species to spread between the continents. Costa Rica has an abundance of butterflies, with some species thriving at certain elevations, and they help pollinate Costa Rica's many plants.Phylum Chordata - Class Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia

Amniotes such as reptiles, birds, and mammals have three key characteristics that decrease their dependence on water: 1) Amniotic eggs that are waterproof and contain fluid for embryo development, 2) Internal fertilization, and 3) Water-tight skin made of keratin that prevents dehydration. Reptiles have scales as their water-tight skin while birds evolved from small dinosaurs and have feathers that function in flight, insulation, and as modified scales. Birds are endothermic like mammals and have specialized adaptations for flight including wing shape, feathers, air sacs for respiration, lightweight honeycombed bones, and lack of teeth replaced by a muscular gizzard.Bird project

House Sparrows are closely associated with human settlements and buildings, where they find shelter and food. They eat grains, seeds, and insects, readily visiting bird feeders. House Sparrows nest in cavities in buildings and structures, often outcompeting native cavity-nesting birds. While their populations were previously increasing with human expansion, House Sparrow numbers have more recently declined by around 80% from the mid-20th century, possibly due to agricultural industrialization reducing suitable habitat.Birds_grade_3.pptx

This document provides information about birds. It discusses different types of birds found in various habitats like trees, ground, water, and bushes. It describes the physical features of birds like feathers, beaks, feet, claws, and wings. Different birds have different shaped beaks suited to their diet, which can include nuts/fruits, insects, or flesh. Birds build different types of nests using materials like twigs, grass, feathers, leaves depending on where they nest - in holes, on trees, on ground, or woven. The document also discusses how birds raise their young and provides activities to observe local birds and identify them.Birds2 sofia nadya 10 4

Birds are classified in the class Aves. They have bilateral symmetry and evolved from dinosaurs over 250 million years ago. Key shared characteristics with other animals include feathers, a four-chambered heart, large brains, and wings that allow for gliding and flapping flight. Birds reproduce through internal fertilization and lay hard-shelled eggs. Examples provided include the Indian peafowl, American flamingo, and ostrich.bird[1].ppt

Fuelled by climate change, extreme droughts are becoming more frequent, placing mounting pressure on communities, ecosystems and economies. As impacts intensify across regions and sectors, including in OECD countries, the urgency to build stronger drought resilience has never been greater. How is climate change intensifying the risks and impacts of droughts? What do recent drought episodes reveal about the socio-economic and environmental costs of inaction? And how can countries strengthen their climate adaptation strategies to reduce vulnerability, build resilience and mitigate long-term impacts?
Join us on 17 June 2025 for the launch of the new OECD report Global Drought Outlook: Trends, Impacts and Policies to Adapt to a Drier World. The report offers a global assessment of drought trends, drivers and impacts in the context of climate change, and examines how selected policies and practices across sectors can enhance drought resilience. Drawing from both successful adaptation efforts and persistent policy gaps, it provides actionable insights to guide decision-makers and support the efficient use of resources to address this escalating challenge.
The webinar will feature a panel of senior policymakers and provide a platform to discuss the OECDs latest findings and recommendations, as well as to exchange knowledge on drought resilience, policy innovations and opportunities in land and water management to adapt to a drier future.Environmental Awareness impact of Giraffe Centre

Pigeon
- 1. Pigeon Pigeons build a flimsy platform nest of straw and sticks, put on ledge, under cover, often located on the window ledges of buildings. The nest is saucer-like in shape and made of stems, and leaves. The female may sit on the nest a day or two before the first egg is laid. Eagle Eagles normally build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched. Parrot Almost all parrots nest in tree hollows (or nest boxes in captivity), and lay white eggs from which hatch altricial (helpless) young. Duck Most Ducks nest on the ground in grass uplands near wetlands. Nests typically consist of dried grass and feathers that the females pluck
- 2. from her breast. They use the down feathers to line the nest and help insulate the eggs. Sparrow House Sparrow nests are made of coarse dried vegetation, often stuffed into the hole until it's nearly filled. The birds then use finer material, including feathers, string, and paper, for the lining. House Sparrows sometimes build nests next to each other, and these neighboring nests can share walls. Hamming bird Hummingbirds build velvety, compact cups with spongy floors and elastic sides that stretch as the young grow. They weave together twigs, plant fibers, and bits of leaves, and use spider silk as threads to bind their nests together and anchor them to the foundation. Hummingbird eggs are about the size of navy beans.
