	Bird - ninemsn Encarta
		Nevertheless, birds are distinct, having evolved from dinosaurs long after the mammalian and reptilian groups diverged.
		In sea birds excess salt is excreted in a salt-rich fluid from the nostrils or mouth.
		The earliest known fossil bird is Archaeopteryx, about the size of a small pigeon, of which six complete or partial specimens—and an isolated feather—have been found in the Solnhofen limestone beds in Germany; all date from the Late Jurassic period (157 million to 145 million years ago).

		Birds do not have fleshy ear lobes or external pinna as mammals do, but there is a slight thickening of the skin into a fold around the ear.
		The ear opening itself may be very different in size in different species, and may in fact have an asymmetrical shape and location in owls, which aids their auditory discrimination.
		In the partially extended bird wing there are two prominent angles: the one at the wrist between the hand and forearm (or antebrachium), the one at the elbow, between the forearm and the upper arm, or brachium.

		During the open day, but more especially in the evening, these birds may be seen in every direction standing frequently by pairs on the hillock near their burrows.
		Lesson states that he has seen these birds opening the shells of the mactræ buried in the sand-banks on the coast of Chile; from their weak bills, with the lower mandible so much projecting, their short legs and long wings, it is very improbable that this can be a general habit.
		A bird with a forked tail, terminated by two long feathers (Tyrannus savana), and named by the Spaniards scissor-tail, is very common near Buenos Ayres: it commonly sits on a branch of the ombu tree, near a house, and thence takes a short flight in pursuit of insects, and returns to the same spot.

		Waterfowl season opened across the St Clair region last Saturday and it was my first time in many years that I shot opening day.

		The birds weighed 20 to 30 lbs., were terrified, and beat their wings and struggled in panic.
		The idea seemed to be to terrify at least one bird, who squawked, beat her wings in panic, and terrified the others in her group.
		Every bird went through their merciless hands at least once a week, week after week, until they were loaded up to be killed.

		In most birds the nares are readily visible, while in certain birds - such as crows - they are covered by feathers.

	The New York Review of Books: Birds Out of Time
		The birds were reared by people disguised in crane suits, so that the hatchlings would not become acculturated to humans.

		Dani refer to warriors killed on the field of battle as "dead birds," and their cries and decorations are reflected in the minds and bodies of their human counterparts.

		Very near the center is a small opening through which the water is admitted to a strong, rather elastic, tube, which is encircled by a series of rings.
		The heart, situated near the opening on the back, is supplied with a set of blood vessels.
		They also have respiratory organs and a nervous system, but, judging from the manner they endure vivisection, their nervous system must be of a very low order, for if they are broken in pieces, the missing parts will soon grow again.

	Do Animals Have Memes?
		In the majority of cases where the transmission process is investigated, behaviour patterns are not transmitted by imitation, but instead result from other, simpler processes such as local enhancement, where an animal's attention is drawn to an object by the actions of another, in a manner that results in learning (Galef 1988).
		There is no evidence that the birds transmit any more information than a tip-off that milk bottles contain cream (Hinde and Fisher 1951), but that is enough for each observer to reconstruct the behaviour of milk-bottle opening.
		The first report of milk-bottle opening was in Swathling near Southampton in 1921 (Fisher and Hinde 1949) and since then, it has spread throughout Britain, into several other European countries, across to tens of other species, and is apparently still prevalent some 75 years later.

	Up close and personal with Scotland's red kites - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		The Argaty Red Kites Project has been set up on a working farm in the beautiful countryside north of Stirling, and aims to promote the population of red kites that were recently reintroduced to the area as a source of nature-based tourism to benefit the local economy.
		Food is put out daily for the kites on the field next to the hide and the birds are regularly seen flying in and swooping down to feed on the ground.
		There are still challenges ahead with kite protection, especially the poisoning of many birds, and we hope that all those who see and admire the red kites in central Scotland will play their part in changing the attitudes of those who persecute them'.
