Birds Hatching
I am going to tell you about birds and how they
hatch. Every bird makes nest and lay eggs. Inside
the egg is golden yolk surrounded by white. After
only two days the chick is beginning to form. In
the egg there is a air space.

How Birds Hatch
Birds cut a circle at 3 o clock. First they lay
the egg. Then they push out of the egg. Emperor
penguins hatch belly.

Care of Young
Parent whoppers teach their chick to drink and
eat but that is only in the wild. Emperor
penguins hatch their chick by their belly and
hold them by the tip of their toes. The first
days of baby blue tits the eyes are not fully
formed. Just when the duckling is hatched it can
see, swim and walk.

Birds of Prey
Im going to tell you about birds of prey.
Vultures can clean an antelopes bones in 20
minutes. An owl sleeps in the day and hunts for
small animals at night. A barn owl swallows a rat
whole.

Weapons
Shrikes catch food with their beak and they
spear them with thorns. Birds of prey have
needle sharp claws for killing its prey.

Body
Most fish eaters use their beaks to catch
their quarry. The wings of the bird of
prey are strong. They can fly with a dead
duck. A bar n owl catches small animals
with its claws and carries them off with the
beak. Birds of prey use their tail for steering.
The pointed wings of a peregrine falcon helps it
fly faster then other birds. The nostril is at
the top of the beak. Birds of prey have bare
legs.
