Welcome To My Bird Page
I have always been facinated by birds. I don't sit around with a pair of binoculars watching them, but every time I see a brid in flight I have to stop and watch. And I love to hear them sing.

A human heart beats at about 50 to 100 beats per minute. A hummingbird's heart beats between 36 and 1200 beats per minute. When at rest, the bird's heart beats at 480.

There are 8,600 species of birds in the world today. They are found everywhere. Birds play a vital role in the balance of nature. They eat
insects, pests and small animals. Fruit eating birds are best for scattering seeds for these plants. Seed eating birds digest seeds and in
so doing keep millions of weeds from the earth... Birds have between 1,000 and 25,000 feathers.
I do not believe that any peacock envies another peacock his tail, because every peacock is persuaded that his own tail is the finest in the world. The consequence of this is that peacocks are peaceable birds.

The Bald Eagle gets its name from its majestic white head, which does not turn white until it is about four or five years old. Until then, the plumage is dark brown with pale white wing linings.
