I’m doing a project for my science class, and we’re researching the camouflage of birds for a lesson that we’re teaching some 4th, 5th, and 6th graders from various schools. I would appreciate all the help that I can get.
Thanks!

Watch a flock of birds fly - they all fly together and change direction simultaneously. Schools of fish do the same thing. Humans don’t though - they get into collisions. Explanation?

It’s mesmerizing to see fish act as one to avoid being eating by sharks or birds flocking together and flying through the air switching directions and choosing landing spots…How do they choreograph it?

Once upon time, there was a bird that landed on a tree. The bird had noticed a group of birds on the same tree.

He said “hello hundred birds”.
One of the birds replied “we are not hundred, but if you sum the total number of us plus the same number of us plus the half of us plus a quarter of us plus yourself, only then the total number will be hundred birds”.

Then, the poor bird decided to run away.

What was the number of birds on that tree?

I am asking this question for my husband. He wants to know how a bird that flys south for the winter knows when to fly north for mating season.

Example: the Red Breasted Robin flys south for the winter months and then returns north in the early springtime to nest.

What instincts, or what in nature tells the birds to return to the north?

We both thank you for any and all answers in advance.

I’m trying to figure out the bird my friend, Sarah, saw a couple days before her dad died. I think it may be an urban legend about a witch who could turn into a huge bird.

I want to know the birds that are about the size of hawks and above it’s height. I want to find it out to help my friend, Sarah, figure out what bird her mom told her to get in the house for.

I am looking for any rescue organizations to work at, preferably in Southern CA. I am currently looking into the Wildlife Waystation, but if anyone knows of any others it would be very helpful. I want to start a career working with exotic animals (birds, apes, tigers, etc.) but do not want to work in a zoo or as a veterinarian. If anyone has any suggestions on any other forms of a career with these animals I’m open to any schooling necessary. Thank you!
