Wow! That is a difficult assignment! please don't turn\nthis in, you will probably funk\n\nI traveled abroad to the Galapagos islands to study the \nadaption of animals to their environment. Birds have the\nadvantage of plumage which can blend into the environment\nand protect them from predators.  I admit that this is \nabsolutely the most boring assignment I have ever done,so\nI will abandon my attempt to continue. \n\nNow, use your brain and make up your own story. Good luck

If it's a serious answer you want then it's a pen to put sheep in. It's usually made of wicker hurdles and is of a temporary nature but it could also be a permanent steel structure. If you want a funny answer I can't think of one.

...yes...and the base of the beak and most of the skull is extensively 'honeycombed'.\nThere have been attempts to mimic this structure in the design of crash helmets, crumple zones, etc.

maybe none. I used to write really really small cause my handwriting was so bad. It looked reallly nice when it was small. I only did it so that it would look nicer and I could get better grades.

Pretty much...Poe never explained her death in the poem, and it obviously took place before the events of the Raven, but there is nothing there to say how or why.\n\nI wonder if he wasn't just looking for a rhyme with "nevermore"

It is either in laymans terms. But here's some more information I think is cool. Typesetters, people who make manuscript pages look like book pages, call it a "screamer" or a "bang!"

it is actually older than alice in wonderland, the characters didn't know the answer but the classic solution is "poe wrote on both" because edgar allen poe wrote about the raven and he used his writing desk.

Yes because they are reptiles.\n\nI could wax lyrical for pages and pages (see above) and you raise an excellent point about vertebrae, however thay are reptiles.

It's a style error. Instead of explaining what an object is, the writer just names it, or places it in a category. This "Rumpelstiltskin effect" assumes that by naming something one has explained it and has it under control. \nExample: Leukemia is a cancer.

This is sybil's first question. Try and give her a good answer.\nI'm sure someone out there has a good idea of what it could be.\nAnybody got a bird book? Cause now I really want to know too.

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! :-)

i think its because of the air pressure. the air drags the feather up? i think

Here is a poem, but please use it only as inspiration:\nO' to hear the birds chirping, tweet, tweet!\nIt is such a lovely sound, O' so sweet.\n\nThis is what your teacher wants, but please write your own.
