This document discusses various aspects of bird life and behavior. It describes how birds sing to communicate, attract mates, and defend territories. It discusses different birds' singing abilities and how their songs have inspired music. It also describes birds' nest-building behaviors and strategies for finding mates and protecting eggs. Various birds' feeding behaviors and abilities are covered, such as diving and fishing techniques. Intelligence and problem-solving abilities in some bird species are highlighted.

1. B ird L ife

2. Probably it is easy to think
that the birds sing for
pleasing, nevertheless; his
singing is for communicate, to
be alerted and to be imposed
on enemies.

3. The vocal capacity of the birds has inspired poets and musicians

4. The nightingale for example has 300 songs in his repertoire

5. According to the English musician David Hintley, there are
many similarities between the singing of the Lark and the Fifth
Symphony of Beethoven.
The Lark gives itself the luxury of singing, at the same time that
it is chased by a predator.

6. The best moment to listen to
the singing of the birds, is the
dawn
Why sing at that hour ?
1 They do not have anything
what to do and the intensity
of the light is low.
2 they are warning the
females that they are still
suitable for the baby.
3 that have abundant energy.
4 they defend his territory

7. To look and to find couple is not simple for the birds, because in
the forest it is very difficult to attract attention. The competition is
enormous, and because of it, they have to do big demonstrations,
to court and to demonstrate to “misses bird“ that there are the
ideal couple

8. For example, the Bird Gardener, in his attempt to attract the
females, constructs for 9 months, an avenue as that we see in this
photo. The dry branches that it uses, are very big in proportion to
his size.

9. To decorate it, he uses materials of showy colors, sheets, flowers,
fruits, moss, feathered of other birds and up to human materials
like canisters and glass pieces.

10. “Misses bird“, visit the avenues inside and on the outside and select
like couple, to the builder of the avenue that more she has liked.

11. All the Birds have the same
approach of the maternity,
cover with his body the egg
to incubate it.

12. Like an airplane can not fly if it are overweight , the Birds deposit his
eggs as soon as they are fertile, of not making it like that, on weight it
would prevent them to fly.

13. It is very difficult to find a
sure place to do the nest, but
they solve this problem in
many ingenious ways.
For example the woodpecker
“Rufau“, it does his nest
between colonies of ants
“fury“.
The ants are in charge of
eliminating any intruder who
tries to steal the eggs.

14. There exist very slack
birds, which they do not
like doing his nests and
less incubating his eggs.
The Cuckoos use the nest
of other birds that are in
incubation process

15. His strategy consists of
selecting a nest where
there are eggs very
similar to theirs.
It puts an egg and
eliminates one of the
nest. All this does it in 10
seconds to avoid to be
surprised.
A mystery is the motive
of this behavior

16. The new generation of
scientists believes that the
birds, they can solve
problems and learn, as the
human children do it.
To the bird Nutcracker, an
incredible memory is
recognized.
It is capable of locating the
exact places where he hid
thousands of seeds of Pine,
gathered for several weeks,
which it will use to feed
during the winter.

17. It is necessary to think that
every seed, he hides it in
different place, in a 24
kilometers space, and that
the Pine seed is very small,
in addition to that they
remain covered by sheets.
Will exist a human being
who could remember,
where he put 30,000 seeds
in different places ?.

18. The Crow of New Guinea, also it is very intelligent. They are
capable of constructing hardware in the shape of hook, to
introduce them in small cracks to extract his detainees.
It makes his hardware from branches, and inclusive, with wires
that find in the forest.

19. The manufacture and use
of hardware, it is
considered to be an
indication of top
intelligence.
Every generation of birds
who leaves the protection
of his parents, has the
genetic and innate
information, which helps
him on to live, doing the
same that his parents do

20. The Birds not only are professional aviators, for many birds his
favorite plates are the fish and to be able to catch them, they have
developed surprising skills, so much out as inside the water

21. The Kingfisher discerns the fish from the low branches of a tree or a
shrub. Next, it dives quickly with the peak ahead and the closed
eyes, and captures his detainee with the highest success valuation.
After the apprehension, it returns to his previous position, where it
swallows the piece.

22. The aquatic Blackbird,
they usually live in the
shores of rapid rivers of
mountain.
His preference to the not
contaminated waters has
turned it into a bio
indicator of the purity of a
river.
Where there are Blackbirds
the water is pure.

23. It submerges in the water and as his blood carries very much
oxygen, can remain under the water up to 30 seconds
It walks at the bottom of the Rio to feed on insects

24. The Owls are big hunters of
night habit and they hunt
with base in the sound.
His vision is very scarce. They
cannot see anything to a few
centimeters of his eyes, but
they have a system of perfect
radar.
They feed principally on small
rodents, especially mice.

25. The Owls hunt in the darkness. His head in the shape of disc helps
to direct the sound to his ears.
His feathers are very soft, this allows him to demolish by no
means silence and surprise his detainees

26. The Warbler Kirtland is the most specializing in his needs for
feeding.
Only he eats Pine seeds, when these are liberated by the forest fires,
for which the forest fire, is essential for the survival of this beautiful
bird.

27. In the State of Michigan (USA), controlled fires take
place so that the Warblers have his food.

28. The Woodpecker is one
more marvel of the nature.
They possess the aptitude to
peck the trunk of a tree, 20
times per minute and a day
in whole 12,000
They have a bone behind
his peak and in front of his
brain.
His language covers his
brain what allows them to
muffle the goals. this way
he suffers neither pains nor
anomalies for the thousands
of blows that his life gives.

29. When he is looking for food, it settles on the trunks and listens
attentively to the noise for some insect that moves under the crust.
Quickly it perforates the crust and with his language it extracts his
detainee.

30. Not only it helps to the
forests to eliminate insects
infests, but it does holes in
the trees so that other
birds use them as nests.

31. In case that you want to know much more of the Life
of the Birds, the BBC of London, it edited a DVD and
a Book, both of exceptional quality, like everything
what does the BBC of London.
Sir David Attenborough, traveled 256,000 miles,
being employed at five continents, accompanied by
experts and by professional cameramen, who used
the most modern filming skills.
The production was late 3 years and had a cost for 15
million dollars.
