1. A bird with a "cracker" beak will most likely eat _______________________________.

Explanation

A bird with a "cracker" beak is most likely adapted to eat seeds. This type of beak is strong and thick, allowing the bird to crack open the hard shells of seeds to access the nutritious contents inside. While birds with different types of beaks may eat earthworms, fruit, or grass, the "cracker" beak specifically suggests a specialization for consuming seeds.

2. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of birds?

Explanation

Birds are endothermic, meaning they can generate and maintain their own body heat. Ectotherms, on the other hand, rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. Feathers and wings, claws on their toes, and a 4 chambered heart are all characteristics of birds. Therefore, the characteristic that is NOT a characteristic of birds is being ectothermic.

3. A focal species is a species that _______________________________.

Explanation

A focal species is a species that scientists watch to indicate changes in the environment. This means that scientists use this particular species as an indicator to monitor and assess the health and condition of an ecosystem. By observing the behavior, population trends, and overall well-being of the focal species, scientists can gather valuable information about the state of the environment and any potential changes or impacts that may be occurring.

5. Identify the claw in the picture below.

Explanation

The correct answer is "scratching." The word "scratching" is the correct spelling for the action of using claws or nails to scrape or rub against a surface. "Scraching" and "Skratching" are incorrect spellings of the word.

Submit
6. Identify the beak in the picture below.

Explanation

The picture shows an object with a pointed tip, which is commonly associated with a spear. Additionally, the word "probe" is also a possible identification since it can refer to a similar pointed instrument used for investigation or examination. However, "Speer" is not a recognized term for a beak or any related object, so it is not a valid identification in this context.

9. Which of the following are part of the birds digestive system?

Explanation

The correct answer is Crop and Gizzard. Teeth are not part of the bird's digestive system as birds do not have teeth. The crop is a specialized pouch in the bird's esophagus that stores and moistens food before it enters the stomach. The gizzard is a muscular organ in the bird's digestive system that grinds and breaks down food. Kidneys are part of the bird's excretory system, not the digestive system.

10. Which of the following are adaptations for flight in a bird's body?

Explanation

Birds have several adaptations for flight in their bodies. Lightweight bones are one such adaptation as they reduce the overall weight of the bird, making it easier for them to take off and maneuver in the air. Birds do not have teeth, which also helps in reducing weight and making their bodies more streamlined for flight. Large chest muscles are important for flight as they provide the necessary power and strength for flapping the wings and generating lift. Down feathers, which are soft and fluffy, help to insulate the bird and maintain body temperature during flight.

Submit
11. Contour feathers _____________________________.

Explanation

Contour feathers are specialized feathers that give shape to a bird's body and are also known as flight feathers. They play a crucial role in providing support and structure to the bird's wings, allowing for efficient flight. These feathers are long, stiff, and arranged in precise patterns, providing the necessary aerodynamic shape for the bird to glide and maneuver through the air. Additionally, contour feathers also help in insulation by trapping air close to the bird's body, keeping it warm.
