"Suicidal Birds:
An eight year study has failed to come up with an explanation of why birds commit suicide every year in the village of Jatinga.
The village lights attract the birds, who converge on the village at night and on landing become immobile, stop eating and starve.
They resist capture, and many are clubbed to death by the natives who view them as a nuisance. Beginning in early fall, as many as 500 birds, from various species, make a ritualistic flight to their death.
No one is certain why these birds commit mass suicide each year, but scientists have speculated that the weather conditions, coupled with the magnetic pull over Jatinga, disorients the birds causing them to lose control.",
"In the Name of Honey!
The greater honeyguide bird calls out loudly to get the attention of a ratel. Why? It needs help opening a bee's nest!
The greater honeyguide bird of eastern Africa loves to eat honey but it can't open bee's nests by itself. When it finds one, it goes looking for an animal called a ratel, or honey badger.
After it attracts the badger's attention it flies towards the bee's nest, making sure it is following.
The badger tears open the nest with its strong claws and both the animals enjoy the spoils.",
"The national symbol of Guatemala:
The quetzal is one of the rarest and most beautiful birds in the world.
Found only in remote areas in the rain forest, this iridescent, golden-green bird has a two to three foot long tail feather.
The tail is so long that the quetzal cannot take off without tearing it to shreds. Like a parachutist jumping from a plane, it launches itself backward to lift off.
One advantage to the long tail feather is that it works like a kite tail, giving the quetzal more stability and the ability to do aerial acrobatics when it swoops to catch insects in flight.",
"Slick Bird:
South America's oil bird got its name from the fact that it eats the ripe, oily nuts from the palm tree. Because of its extraordinary sense of smell, it can tell when the fruit is ripe and only then will it come from the safety of its cave dwelling.
The oilbird will swallow the palm nut whole and then fly back to the cave to digest it. Part of the extract is regurgitated and used to line the chicks' nest of sticks.
Because their flesh is high in fat content, oilbirds were once killed and rendered for their oil.",
"Strong arm? No, beak:
A parrot's beak can close with the force of 350 pounds per square inch.",
"Low-Tech Alarm System:
During World War I, parrots were kept caged in the Eiffel Tower to warn of air-raids.
The parrots' acute hearing enabled them to warn of approaching aircraft long before the enemy planes were heard or seen by humans.",
"Strange Tongue:
Lorikeets have tongues that look like little brushes for feeding on nectar.",
"Copy Bird:
Parrots raised by humans show an amazing ability to mimic human speech and noisy objects, but in the wild they have never been observed mimicking.",
"Brilliant Bird:
Prudle, a green parakeet from the UK, was brought into captivity in 1958. The charming bird that learned over 800 words lived until 1994 when she was 35 years old.
Prudle lived much longer as a house pet then most parakeets (and birds in general) live in the wild!",
"Why Parakeets Can't Enlist:
Most parakeets only live to be 18 years of age at the most. Other types of parrots can live in the wild for up to 40 years (such a cockatoos). ",
