Parrots ARE smarter than doves, but you're right about the muscles being the deciding factor rather than the brain. Given the sounds I've heard coming from both, parrots have more "agile" syrinxes than doves.

Teeth. Chickens don't have teeth so I wanna know what they feel like.

From Wikipedia\n\n"Apart from its greater size, the Raven differs from its cousins the crows by having a larger and heavier beak, and a deeper and more varied barking prrrukk call note. Other field points are the shaggy throat feathers and a longer, wedge-shaped tail"

They are able to release their talons as a rule.  This may be caused by them choosing to not let go or it may be that they have a rather firm grip that they cant easily let go of, for example lodged in a bone.  But they do have the ability.

its hard to assign a foot posture to a bird, unless it is a bird that doesnt fly such as a penguin or emu. they have plantigrade foot posture. I do believe other birds are technically plantigrade, but are usually assigned names based on the type of foot. Ie, a raptor would have raptorial feet, a duck palmate, and so on. I would assume bats are the same,but since they dont use their feet for locomotion, its a hard thing to define. good question

Ever seen how chickens run around, after getting their heads cut off? \n\nNow, imagine millions of them running all around the White House.\n\nNot a pretty picture, eh?

chickens fly, in key west they are always up in the trees, peacocks because the plumage is too heavy and penguins because the wings have evolved into fins

not completely especially the leg bones. to carry that much weight they would break to easy. however the wings might be since they are no longer used. but modern birds to have the characteristics of dinosaurs that being hollow bones which also means that dinosaurs may have been warm blooded like birds.

Is it a guinea fowl? They are a little larger than chickens but smaller than turkeys. A white crest/spot on the head? A guinea fowl.

Depends on the bird. Usually it is inversly proportional to the size of the cache of eggs. Chickens for example lay a great number of eggs because they are flightless and pretty much defenseless. Mortality is high so the species compensates with prodicious egg laying. Interestingly this makes them an excellent livestock choice which has certainly contributed to the survival of the species.

Because they have fur or feathers.

Their beaks are made in a way to scoop water up so they can swallow it. they are not able ro suck up water, so they have to lift their heads up to the sky for the water to go down their throats.\n\nP.s. it's not just chickens but most birds do it.

I think ornery ornithologists probably give each other the bird quite frequently.  After all, they egg each other on.  If they don't know what they are doing, they just wing it.  Why?  Just beak-claws.  Nest question?

sure they were, this is clear because of the evidence we've got from geology. the bones we've found don't lie. but something you should notice, and that is dinosaurs were not all huge wild animals, they were just a kind of animals, including all sizes and all behaviours. also it is believed that some of the animals living nowadays are the children of ancient dinasaurs.

ok\n Hoatzin chicks have archyopterix-style claws on their wings\n\nPuffin`s beaks are not as colourful out of the breeding season\n\nThe Goatsucker (no, not el Chuppacabra, the bird!) of the USA is called a Nightjar in the UK\n\nAmerican Robins are not related to european Robins, they are in fact a type of thrush\n\ncormorants have to open their wings to "dry" them as they`re not as waterproof as other waterbirds.
