Introduction: The experiment conducted at the bird blind was so that the student would be allowed to come up with and preform his or her experiment. In this experiment one will be looking at how urban noises and alarms effect birds in there natural habitat. The experiment took place at the bird blind at wright state established by the biology department. The “bird blind is an enclosed, elongated wooden structure with benches facing a slight in the wall. [Which] [always] [one] [to] observe birds and other wildlife that are attracted to the variety of food that is set out daily ”(Marcia, David and Don Cipollini, pg. 155). Without this building the experiment could have not been conducted and controlled properly. Birds have a …show more content…
Dose the Noise contributed from the development or urban area effect the environment of the birds? I hypothesize that the Noises made from the urban environment will have an effect on the birds. That there would be less birds and that in a way the sounds would repel them. This problem has come to the attention of many scientist. In the article, predicting the Effect of Urban Noise on the Active Space of Avian Vocal Signals. It explains how this problem has caused a drastic effect on the lifestyle of the birds. “Urbanization changes the physical environment of non-human species but also markedly changes their acoustic environment. Urban noise interferes with acoustic communication in a range of animals, including birds, with potentially profound impacts on fitness.” (Kirsten M., and Michael A., pg.452). With the everyday noses of buses, cars, humans, radios waves, construction and etc. One can see how after a long period of time this could affect bird formations or even confusing birds and their responses to each other. With more deforestation 's accruing around the world animals everywhere have been forced to adapt to their new …show more content…
The wind was very cold and strong blowing everywhere. When returning to the blind there seemed to be a mass increase of birds everywhere. Tons of bird calls, cannot pinpoint a certain call. There were at least a range of 15-20 small birds one the trunk of the tree. Mostly comprising of American Golden Finch’s and Tufted Titmouse’s. Bird seed is all over the ground, it might be due to the high winds knocking over the bird feeders. Barley any of the birds are eating from the feeders. There are however some bigger birds out a pigeon and at least five woodpeckers consisting of being hairy and downy. At 12:00pm a loud voice can be heard saying “this is a test”. The bird stir a bit but are still chirping and seem contented with eating and talking. When the alarm goes off all the birds up into mind air and evacuate the blind. They then all come back to where they once were. They are still chirping but it sounds more like a warning than their previous songs. The birds are not as vocal as before. For some reason bigger birds come out when the alarm is persisted. All the smaller birds can be seen in the surrounding trees. After the alarm was over at 12:05 the smaller birds returned to
After the blocks died out, pony bead seeds grew on the island. These very tiny seeds caused some difficulty for the birds studied. All finches, with the exception of Tosserus saladis, increased slight to moderately.

As a result, their habitat is being destroyed, leaving them with no place to live and to nest their young. They are also being disturbed by human activities near their habitat.
Barn Owls and Peregrine Falcons are amazingly crafted beings of the airy realms. Both birds possess mind-blowing physical facilities that accurately reflect their innate complexity. Their distinctions astound most humans. Owls and Falcons will most likely continue to amaze the human race with their rich history, the folklore they have generated, and the entirety of their beings because of how they have adapted to the environs of Earth. These adaptations are expressed in the visible or non-visible differences and similarities of these glorious birds. My greatest wish is that both the Common Barn Owl and the Peregrine Falcon both live on in the history of our world long after my generation and the generations after me have gone.
While driving On Rte10 through the town of Hamden what seems to be an ordinary ride can become a scenic view of our nation’s bird. On a tall skinny Birch tree over 40 ft in the air is lives a bald eagle in its natural habitat. In this nest lives a male adult and female adult with an Eaglet. The nest is located in a farming open field along a river bank. This field and river provides the eagles with a source of food. The eagles mostly eat fish, the adult eagle will swoop down to the water and grab a fish all in one motion flying the meal back to the nest to feed its family. The field is posted to prevent people from ruining the habitat, since the natural reproduction of this eagle is very important to its recovery from being endangered. I was able to view this community form the road and was able to watch the nest and occasionally watch the adult eagle fly away most likely looking for food to feed his family. The nest form my view was huge at least 3 feet in diameter perched up about 40 ft high on a birch tree. The surrounding area of the nest was clear of any branches or trees creating a clear access way for the birds to land. Below the nest was a large open field on the bank of an active river.

The flocks split in the later part of winter, so the pair is left with the responsibility of defending their nesting territory. The nest sites are usually holes in trees, hollow parts in rotten stumps, or abandoned nests of other birds. Both the male and female work until the hole or nest suitable for living. The male bird has the job of making sure the female is well fed during the spring while the female takes care of the nest which consists of usually 1 to 7 eggs per season. Unlike many other species of birds, both the male and the female play an equal part in taking care of the nest and their

An important feature of green roofs is their potential to provide habitation for urban wildlife, therefore many animal species such as rats and ants would benefit from green roofs. Coffman and Waites, (2008) explains that the urban development practices recognised as roof greening offers habitat for wild species within the towns and it also helps rise the home-grown natural diversity. However, roof greening is not a method restoration ecology, but it is method of reconciliation ecology, where entirely new habitation is formed for non-human species. In addition Green roofs certainly delivers some form of habitat, it is also possible that the properties of the roof could harm the wildlife diversity.
The noise of Aircrafts was historically a major environmental issue for the airline. It is still high on the agenda of public concern. Noise disturbance has a variety of difficult issues to assess because it is open for self- reactions. Its impact is not one permanently on the actual environment, but it can have many effects on the people living in the area of the airport, including: interference in c...
It has been observed that, the early birds have several edges over nightfall owls. As a matter of fact, statistics mention
Birds have direct and indirect economic and cultural values for people. Birds are important for a lot of reasons. Birds provide us food, medicine, fertilizers and also bring about pollinations. They are important because they are a part of the food chain. Birds are also important because they help spread seeds around and thus help with the planting process. Birds also perform vital ecological role, besides their economical role. They are critical links within the fast food chains and webs that exist in the ecosystem. The economic importance of birds can be studied into two parts – A) Beneficial effect B) Harmful effect.
