A Sample Presentation on the different types of birds in brief and way of presenting a project.

All Creatures great and small
All things Wise and Wonderful
The Lord God made them All

3. Peacock include two Asiatic species (the blue or Indian peacock originally of
India and Sri Lanka and the green peacock of Burma, Indochina, and Java) and
one African species (the Congo peacock native only to the Congo Basin) of bird in
the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the Phasianidae family, the pheasants and their
allies, known for the male's piercing call and, among the Asiatic species, his
extravagant eye-spotted tail covert feathers which he displays as part of
a courtship ritual. The term peacock is properly reserved for the male; the female
is known as a peahen, and the immature offspring are sometimes called peachicks.

4. Pigeons and doves constitute the bird family Columbidae that includes about
310 species.
Pigeons are stout-bodied birds with short necks, and short, slender bills with
fleshy ceres. They feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. This family occurs worldwide,
but the greatest variety is in the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones.
Doves and pigeons build relatively flimsy nests – often using sticks and other
debris – which may be placed in trees, on ledges, or on the ground, depending on
species. They lay one or two eggs at a time, and both parents care for the young,
which leave the nest after seven to 28 days.

5. Parrots, also known
as psittacines, are birds of the roughly
372 species in 86 genera that make up
the order Psittaciformes, found in
most tropical and subtropical regions. The
order is subdivided into three
superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true"
parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and
the Strigopoidea (New Zealand
parrots). Parrots have a
generally pantropical distribution with
several species
inhabiting temperate regions in
the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The
greatest diversity of parrots is in South
America and Australia.
Parrots, along with ravens, crows, jays, and
magpies, are among the most intelligent
birds, and the ability of some species
to imitate human voices enhances their
popularity as pet

6. Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Sph
eniscidae) are a group
of aquatic, flightless birds living almost
exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere,
especially in Antarctica. Highly adapted for
life in the water, penguins have counter
shaded dark and white plumage, and their
wings have evolved into flippers. Most
penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other
forms of sea life caught while swimming
underwater. They spend about half of their
lives on land and half in the oceans
The etymology of the word penguin is still
debated. The English word is not apparently
of French, Breton or Spanish origin (the
latter two are attributed to the French
word pingouin "auk"), but first appears in
English or Dutch.

7. Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes about 200 species of
mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large,
broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons and feathers adapted
for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the
gregarious burrowing owl.
Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds although a few species
specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth
except Antarctica and some remote islands.
Owls are divided into two families: the true owls or typical owls, Strigidae; and
the barn-owls, Tytonidae.

8. Kingfishers are a group of small to medium-sized,
brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes.
They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most
species found outside of the Americas. The group is
treated either as a single family, the Alcedinidae, or as
a suborder Alcedines containing three families,
Alcedinidae (river kingfishers), Halcyonidae (tree
kingfishers), and Cerylidae (water kingfishers).
Roughly 90 species of kingfishers are described. All
have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs,
and stubby tails.

9. The woodpeckers are part of the Picidae family, a
group of near-passerine birds that also consist
of piculets, wrynecks, and sapsuckers. Members of
this family are found worldwide, except
for Australia, New Guinea, New
Zealand, Madagascar, and the extreme polar
regions. Most species live
in forests or woodland habitats, although a few
species are known to live in treeless areas, such as
rocky hillsides and deserts.
The Picidae are just one of eight living families in
the order Piciformes. Other members of
Piciformes, such as the jacamars, puff birds,
barbets, toucans, and honey guides, have
traditionally been thought to be closely related to
the woodpeckers, piculets, wrynecks, and
sapsuckers. More recently, DNA sequence analyses
have confirmed this view.

10. Cranes are a clade (Gruidae) of large,
long-legged and long-necked birds in
the group Gruiformes. There are
fifteen species of crane in four genera.
Unlike the similar-looking but
unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks
outstretched, not pulled back. Cranes
live on all continents
except Antarctica and South America.
They are opportunistic feeders that
change their diet according to the season
and their own nutrient requirements.
They eat a range of items from suitably
sized small rodents, fish, amphibians,
and insects to grain, berries, and plants.
Cranes construct platform nests in
shallow water, and typically lay two eggs
at a time. Both parents help to rear the
young, which remain with them until the
next breeding season.

11. Hummingbirds are New
World birds that constitute the
family Trochilidae. They are among the
smallest of birds, most species
measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in)
range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird
species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm bee
hummingbird, weighing less than a U.S.
penny (2.5 g).
They are known as hummingbirds
because of the humming sound
created by their beating wings which
flap at high frequencies audible to
humans. They hover in mid-air at
rapid wing-flapping rates, typically
around 50 times per second, allowing
them also to fly at speeds exceeding
15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph),backwards

12. Sparrows are a family of
small passerine birds, Passeridae. They are
also known as true sparrows, or Old
World sparrows, names also used for a
particular genus of the family, Passer. They
are distinct from both the American
sparrows, in the family Emberizidae, and
from a few other birds sharing their name,
such as the Java sparrow of the
family Estrildidae. Many species nest on
buildings, and the house and Eurasian tree
sparrows in particular inhabit cities in large
numbers, so sparrows may be the most
familiar of all wild birds. They are
primarily seed-eaters, though they also
consume small insects. Some species
scavenge for food around cities and,
like gulls or rock doves, will happily eat
virtually anything in small quantities.
