Most Birds…

•are covered with feathers
PARROTS
It has gray feathers,
white around the eyes,
gray feet, and a bright
red tail. The colors help
it attract a mate.
It can hide from his enemies
by blending into pretty
flowers.
In the wild they live in trees.
Parrots eat seeds, nuts, and
fruit. They have dark gray
curved bill that helps them crack
the nuts and seeds.
Bald Eagle
It has two yellow feet with sharp
talons for catching prey.
The Bald Eagle has a
keen eyesight to spot
prey.
It has a sharp
downward curving
yellow bill to tear
apart prey.
The Bald Eagle mostly eats fish.
The Bald Eagle lives near rivers and
large lakes, as it catches most of its
food in the water.
They also hunt and scavenge
small mammals, snakes and
other birds.
The Bald Eagles are carnivores[ meat
eaters] and hunt during the day [ they
are diurnal].
The females are
30% larger than
the males so they
can stay up in the
air so they can find
food for the father
and babies and
herself.
Bald Eagles have about
7,000 feathers because
the Bald Eagle is a heavy
bird so all it’s feathers
keep it up the air so long.
Adult Bald Eagles have
a 7 ft [2.3] wingspan to
have his powerful and
fast flight.
The Bald Eagle has
been the national symbol
of the USA since 1782
that’s why the Bald
Eagle is a protected bird.
. The male parrot feeds
the female so that she can
protect the eggs
African gray parrot is
about 13 to 16 inches
because there tail is
very long and it has a
long head
African gray parrots are native to western and
central Africa in lowland rainforests.
Bald Eagles are powerful fliers who can
reach the speeds of up to 100 miles per
hour during a drive. They use that skill to
get rodents and fish.
Bald Eagles build an enormous
nest from twigs an leaves
because they are big birds and
they have to fit the male,
female and their eggs.
Average flight speeds are
about 20 to 40 miles per
hour because they have
big wings so they can fly
that fast.
They both feed the
hatchlings until they learn
to fly because if they
don’t know how to fly the
can’t hunt for there food.
The Bald Eagle
chooses a nest that are
far from people so that
way they will not be
disturbed while they
nest.
People who kill or sell Bald Eagles
illegally can be put in prison for one to
two years or they may have to pay fines
of up to $20,000 because Bald Eagle is
a protected bird.
Eaglets spend several
weeks mastering their
flying skills so they
can find there home.
They also learn how to hunt
and feed so when they go to
find a new home they can
take care of themselves.
We hope you’ve enjoyed learning
about African Gray Parrot and Bald
Eagle.
