Birds Facts |
| Bats always turn left when they leave their caves. |
| Frog-eating bats identify edible frogs from poisonous ones by listening to the mating calls of male frogs. Frogs counter this by hiding and using short, difficult to locate calls. |
| Bats sleep during the day and feed at night. The place that bats sleep in is called the "roost." |
| On average, a hen lays 300 eggs per year. |
| Nine egg yolks have been found in one chicken egg. |
| A mother hen turns her egg approximately 50 times in a day. This is so the yolk does not stick to the shell. |
| Ostriches stretch out their neck and lay their head on the ground to keep from being seen, hence the myth that ostriches hide in the sand. |
| Ostrich is the largest and heaviest living bird. It is unable to fly and does not posses a keeled sternum (breastbone) common to most birds. |
| Ostriches can run up to 70km/hr(40 mph) and can outpace most pursuers, such as lions, leopards, and hyenas. |
| Ducks' feathers are waterproof. There is a special gland that produces oil near the tail that spreads and covers the outer coat of feathers. Beneath this waterproof layer are fluffy and soft feathers to keep the duck warm. |
