Well I don't know a whole lot about birds - especially their cadence - but, Orioles are known to occupy Massachusetts, so is the Bay-Breasted Warbler, and the Carolina Wren, all have black body feathers and at least an orange throat or belly.\n\nHopefully that helps?

Bluebonnets are species of Lupin. Bluebonnet seeds look like little pebbles ... birds will eat them thinking they are the pebbles they need to digest their foods (birds often have small stones in their crop to help grind up food).  The seeds a very hard and some are not destroyed by the digestive process.  Therefore, the birds spread the seed in their droppings.\n\nBluebonnets are one of Texas’ toughest wildflower because they can resist droughts and freezes, and because they can grow in any soil type in Texas. It was believed that bluebonnets removed the nutrients from the soil, making it dry and barren, when in fact it was quite the opposite.\nBluebonnets are part of the legume family and fix nitrogen, so they can put nitrogen back into the soil, fertilizing it.

There could be a lot of reasons why this occurs.  If it is a migratory bird, that particular pond could be one that is revisited each year, some birds return each year to the site in which they were born (site natality), that pond could have the best food, access to more mates, less chance of being predated upon, certain birds stay with their flock/family.  There are so many variables as to why birds select certain habitats...hope I added some insight!

When you're hungry you'll eat grass.

Take your pick:\n\nbirds leave viable seeds in their droppings\nseeds drift in wind\nseeds catch on fur / clothing, and drop off, later\nseeds are found to be useful to humans, and we spread them\nwater (eg coconuts float, landing on distant shores, and sprouting)\n\nI am sure there are other ways...

I would introduce a species of birds that eats beetles

Yoki is right on.  Some birds that normally summer in northern Canada do not go very far south at all.  Juncos and tree sparrows, two birds of the far north like to winter in the northern U S. And of course some do not migrate at all.  Normally, birds whose food supply consist of insects and fruit and flowers are the migrators. But as Yoki pointed out the Artic Tern, a fish eater, is one of the worlds longest migrators. Some Artic Terns do not make it all the way to the Artic however. There is a large colony that breed on a small island off the coast of Maine.

I think we consider the idea of these researchers:\n\nGeochemist Christopher Romanek of UGA's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) can determine the telltale composition of elements he finds in a feather through stable isotope analysis.\n\n"He can analyze a feather and tell us if that bird came from either a coastal colony or an inland colony by the carbon, because the salt marsh ecosystems utilize a different carbon than do the inland systems," said Larry Bryan, research coordinator of SREL's wood stork program.\n\nThe type of nitrogen Romanek finds indicates whether a wood stork is eating top-level wetland predators, such as large bullheads and catfish, or creatures farther down the food chain, including minnows, bluegill, crayfish and tadpoles.\n\n"That's interesting because the higher you get up the food chain, typically, the higher mercury concentrations you're going to have in these aquatic organisms," Bryan said.\n\nFor more than 15 years now, SREL researchers have studied the endangered wood stork (Research Reporter, Winter/Spring 1996). During the past three years, Bryan has recorded mercury concentrations in wood stork nestlings. The concentrations amount to less than a millionth of a gram, but they are high enough for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to consider them potentially harmful. "Some of the nestlings could be at risk," Bryan said.

These birds do not all have the same foot posture.  For example ostrich feet sit flat on the ground for walking while songbirds toes are designed to be able to curl and grip branches when they perch.  Birds like eagles have raptorial feet with long talons for capturing prey.  \nHope this helps

Birds hear a lot better than we do, and worms moving around in soil make noise that is distinctive. OR, maybe they have Xray vision! :-)

It depends on the type of bird. Many bird fly to another area. Some birds take cover on the ground. Not all bird escape the wrath of a tornado. After a tornado struck our farm, my father was cleaning up the fallen trees in one of our corrals and found that the several members of the flock of turkeys that had been roosting in them were dead on the ground, having never left the trees in which they were roosting.

probably like any sea bird.. I know I live on the coast of an ocean and the birds poo is usually greenish/grey/with specks of white in it.. I guess depending on the fish or junk they ate prior to that..

The most common bird u see in housing estate is the Myna. (Or affectionately called "Ah Chai", dun ask me why). It actually originated from India. Probably brought here in the earlier years during when Singapore had extensive trading activities with India peninsula.

Guinea hens are often toted as tick eaters. Oxpeckers (those little birds you see perched on the back of rinos in the nature pics) are there partly to get ticks not that they won't eat flies too. I'd bet any insect eating bird and many other insect eating animals will happly add them to the menu without inquiring if they are insects or aracnids.
