What are birds?
- Birds are warm-blooded, have backbones, and have wings. They’re also the only animals with feathers.
- In this lesson, we’ll list some of these birds, and we’ll also give a few ways in which they can be sorted into different types.
Types of Birds:
- Flightless vs. Flighted
One way to sort birds is by whether or not they are able to fly. Most people picture flying birds when they think about birds, There are around sixty different species of flightless birds, which sounds like a lot, but remember, there are around ten thousand bird species in total.
- Pets vs. Wild
Some birds make excellent pets. Other birds are really better suited to staying in the wild, or, at worst, in a conservatory or zoo. Some of the best pets are parakeets, cockatiels, cockatoos, and parrots.
List of Bird Names
This list will use common bird names. It will be sorted by broader type (parrot, for example), and then it will list some of the most common and popular birds of that type.
