Ami Flowers Luis Candelario 2014 International Issues in Conservation

Approximately 9600 bird species in the world Believed to have reptilian origin (150 mya) Jurassic period Archaeopteryx lithographica “Ancient wing inscribed in stone” Largest– Ostrich at 317lbs Smallest – Scintillant Hummingbird at 2.25 g

6-9 ft 6.5 cm

FEATHERS! Skeletal System Bones hollow or thin Bones fused Skin Glands (lack of) Uropygial gland at base of tail Waterproof feathers Excretory System Lack urinary bladder Uric acid – highly concentrated Reproductive System One working ovary (left) Gonads enlarge during breeding season Oviparous Digestive System Eat high calorie foods Quick digestion (1 hr) Nervous System Well-developed brain Excellent eye sight Anosmic – reduced or no sense of smell

Contour Feather Form outline of the body Remiges – flight feathers Retrices – tail feathers Semiplumes Plumaceous – loose-vaned Lack hamuli (hooks) Under contour feathers Aid in insulation and buoyancy Filoplumes Hair-like Small vane at tip or no vane Aid in sensing

Down Soft feathers lacking vanes Short rachus Beneath contour feathers Aid in insulation Bristles Vaneless Found around eyes, mouth, nostrils For sensory and air filtration

Anisodactyl Hallux is behind and the other three toes are in front Passerines Zygodactyl Toes arranged in pairs Two up front, two in the back Woodpeckers Syndactyl Third and fourth toes fused Kingfishers Pamprodactyl All four toes are forward Hummingbirds and Swifts

Palmate Front three toes are webbed Ducks and gulls Semipalmate Anterior of toes half- webbed Plovers Totipalmate All four toes are webbed Comorants Lobate Toes are lobed Grebes

Songs Local vocal displays with specific repeated patterns Species specific Mainly by males Functions to identify: Species Sex Territory Vigor (mating) Calls Short, simple vocalizations Often a single note Intra/interspecific Both males and females Variety of functions: Warning Feeding Nest Flocking
