bone and as gnarly as a twisted grin. The wind whistled, a low, malevolent song that shook the walls of my small home and rattled the falling leaves of the barren trees around me. So this was it. The fall of life. Everything seemed to fail. No birds serenaded the inhabitants of Earth, no rabbits feasted on the dying grass. I had run out of food, out of water, and I awaited death, desperately calling for this to end. Everything seemed hopeless. Everything was lost, or so I thought at the time
Blue Jays are how we know them, but the Blue Jay has a scientific name, they are called Cyanocitta cristata. After 8-12 day of incubation the eggs hatch. Newborn Blue Jays live in the nest for 17 through 21 days, when they are ready to fly. Newborn Blue Jays leave the nest flying; taking their own adventure in life. Blue Jay parents leave the nest when they hear predators, to take them far from the nest so they cannot identify the nest. Blue Jays are related to crowns, robin, and magpies. Blue Jays

constructed nest. Sitting alone in the nest, a baby bird surveyed the expanse; she saw jagged mountains, lush forests, and a never-ending ocean. Her feathers were dulled by the scorching sun, and her eyes were dragged by nights spent awake. In the distance, she saw a flock of birds, and with the little strength she had, she jumped from the nest and flapped her wings. However, she was not strong enough and began to fall. Falling from her nest, the bird stared aimlessly at the sky. She wondered what

There are many different endemic species on the island of Puerto Rico. There are many different species of frogs, birds, snake, and even some mammals. The reason for this is a process called endemism. Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a certain part of the Earth, such as an island. An endemic species is different from an indigenous because endemic species can’t be found anywhere else. Since an island is so isolated from the mainland, endemic species can grow and evolve
masterpiece "Caged bird "the poet, Maya Angelou, through the contrast of the birds, illustrates oppression and fear of freedom of these who cannot be free. This is supported by the bright descriptions of the carefree bird. Angelou uses powerful verbs to reflect the difference between the two birds. The free creature "leaps", "floats" "dips", "claims" and "dares". The active tense of these words helps to show the full effect of the freedom the outgoing animal has. The caged bird however, can only
very unique birds. They have the ability to live and thrive in rural and urban settings. Peacocks are known for being a vibrant and beautiful bird due to their beautiful tail feathers that open in a spray of color. Less known is that they are also very important to the food chain. I chose to write about Peacocks because of the way they live, the way they look, and how for many years I lived among them. When I see Peacocks, I am often reminded of Matthew 6:26-29 that says 26 Look at the birds of the air;
BIRD MIMICRY Mimcry is the superficial resemblance between two or more organisms which are not taxonomically related. This resemblance may be in appearance, behavior, sound, scent and even location. Some sort of vocalization is produced by most of the birds. Almost every species of bird produces some sort of vocalization. Mockingbirds are those birds that mimic the call of other birds. Australia’s amazing Lyrebird is the world’s greatest mimic which is capable of mimic natural and artificial sounds

The main purpose of this study was to examine how a blue petrel’s olfactory system works and to see whether the system they use is observed in other bird species. These researchers wanted to determine if they could propose a possible pattern for olfactory systems. These systems assist in chemical communication of kinship recognition and mate selection. Some of the methodological concerns the researchers had were the constraints of chemical analysis in the field and the difficulty of conducting field
Symbolism in Kate Chopin's The Awakening Kate Chopin's The Awakening is a literary work full of symbolism. Birds, clothes, houses and other narrative elements are powerful symbols which add meaning to the novel and to the characters. I will analyze the most relevant symbols presented in Chopin's literary work. BIRDS The images related to birds are the major symbolic images in the narrative from the very beginning of the novel: "A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside
We are both birds. You are a dove--white, and I, a crow--black. They associate you with peace and associate me with darkness. Whenever you are seen you are celebrating life, whenever I am seen I am leaping off a tree amidst the night, hovering over the moonlight. Just like you, I am a bird too. Only if they see me the way they see you. I discovered something I was not supposed to, they are called wings. Apparently, if I spread them wide enough I can fly and soar through the sky. However, I am told
watched “March Of The Penguins” I’ve been intrigued by these birds. Their life is actually more interesting than you think. Did you know that they can swim up to 50 kph? Life Archaeologists have found penguin fossils that are about 50 million years old. It is estimated that there are about a hundred million penguins in the world. Of those hundred million penguins, there are 17 different species. They are unique to other birds because they swim instead of fly. The average lifespan of a
Aviary Symbolism in The Awakening Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening is full of symbolism. Symbols add meaning and depth to the text. Chopin underscores the expression "free as a bird" through the consistent use of aviary symbolism in The Awakening. Throughout the story she cleverly weaves images and descriptions of birds to express the psychological state of mind of her main character, Edna Pontellier. Perhaps the most obvious example of this symbolism is in the first spoken sentences of the novel
Beautiful Birds Throughout the history of art, birds have appeared in many different masterpieces. The birds may not be the same species and they may not live in the same habitat, but the works of art still offer unbelievable amounts of resemblance. Dabbling Ducks is a painting created by Ricky Montilla that depicts two ducks in their natural environment. Doves and Olive Branch was created by Steve Simon and it illustrates three doves flying in the sky. Swan Lake was painted by Terrece Beesley and
