Not all birds can fly. All birds come in different shapes and sizes. Not one bird is the same. Big birds eat little birds and little birds eat warms.

 

For example, the swan is a large aquatic bird. The swan is known for its fierce temperament and its strong wings. Their wingspan is 79 in.-138 in. If the swan feels threatened it will hurt whoever threatened them. The top speed is 50 mph. The swan’s lifespan is 8-10 years. Their favorite food is aquatic plants and small fish and insects. The swans’ habitats are large, shallow wetlands and open water. A female swan lays 3-9 eggs. Baby swans are called cygnets. Those were facts about swans.

Another example of a bird is the eagle. An eagle is one of the largest birds around North America. There are more than 60 kinds of eagles. Eagles can be up to 40 cm long in height. The wingspan of the eagle is two times the body. Eagles eat small birds. Eagles have really good eye sight. Mother eagles lay two eggs. They have talons and pointed beaks. They also have very sharp teeth. Eagles have four strong toes on each foot. They can hold fish in air with their talons. Eagle beaks are very strong.

In conclusion there are many types of interesting and unique birds.
