How to identify birds-


Today Amar uncle taught us how to identify birds. First you have to compare the size with a bird you know, e.g robin. If the bird is smaller than the robin it is robin-. If it is bigger than the robin then it is robin+. Then we have to look at the beak. E.g sunbirds have a long curved beak to suck necter from flowers. Vultures and eagles have Sharp curved beaks for tearing meat. These birds are called raptors. Parrots have hard fat beaks to crack nuts.Then you have to look at the shape. Some birds have a crest like bulbuls. Some birds have long tails like racket tailed drongos and paradise fly catchers. And then we have to look at the colours of it's feathers. That is how you identify birds.
