Red Bird vs. Eagle vs. Flamingo

Red Bird All birds reproduce sexually. Males having paired testes lying in the bodity cavity, and females having only a functional left ovary and oviduct. The females lay sets of eggs in discrete groups, in nests. The numbers of eggs layed depends, the shapes varry too.

Red Bird The embryo is a fertilized egg at any stage of development prior to hatching. In its later stages, it clearly resembles the fully developed chick. After the egg is laid, cooling the egg after the egg is laid does not result in the death of the embryo.

Red Bird Baby birds are not responsible for food gathering or protection of the nest, so they generally develop a psychological dependence that must be overcome. Parent birds begin to teach their fledglings the importance of flying by remaining a short distance away from the nest during feeding. If the young birds are to survive, they must step away from the nest. Frequently, this means a few hard falls to the ground followed a long trip back to the safety of the nest.

Eagle Bald eaglesreproduce sexually. Like most birds, they reproduce by laying eggs. They reach maturity around the same time their head and tail feathers turn white, usually when they are between 5 and 6 years of age. Egg incubation is about 35 days.

Eagle The yolk contains the fertilized egg cell from which the embryo forms, and is rich in proteins and fat that are the food required by the developing embryo. The albumen is the source of amino acids and minerals and surrounds the yolk. The egg shell not only protects the developing embryo, but is porous and allows the passage of water vapor, ozygen and carbon dioxide, thus permitting the eagle chick to breathe

Eagle Same as all the baby birds, a baby eagles are not responsible for food gathering or protection of the nest, so they generally develop a psychological dependence that must be overcome. Parent birds begin to teach their fledglings the importance of flying by remaining a short distance away from the nest during feeding. If the young birds are to survive, they must step away from the nest. Frequently, this means a few hard falls to the ground followed a long trip back to the safety of the nest.

Flamingo Flamingos reach sexual maturity several years after hatching and usually begin to breed at about six years of age, Flamingos reproduce sexually. Flamingo colonies may breed at different times of the year. It all depends on the circumstances. Pair bonding is very strong, and flamingos may be monogamous. However, flamingos have been observed to mate with more than one partner. Flamingos have to perform some kind of ritual before laying eggs.

Flamingo The embryonic flamingo first starts to develop in the egg, when it is still in the mothers body. But, once the mother lays the egg, it undergoes the majority of the development. The baby flamingo only starts to break out of the egg when the baby embryo is fully developed. Flamingos use oviparity development, as all birds do, therefore the embryo develops in the egg, outside of the body/externally.

Flamingo Females have been known to lay two eggs, but this is rare. After the egg is layed the incubation begins. The incubation period is between 27 and 31 days. Both the male and female take turns incubating the egg by sitting on top of the nest mound. Eggs that fall from the nesting mound are not retrieved

Flamingo Parents are able to recognize their own chick by sight and vocalizations. They will feed no other chick. A flamingo chick will leave the nest after four to seven days, when it is strong enough to stand and walk. Parents keep a close, protective watch on their chick as it explores its habitat.

Flamingo

Similarities 0 All of them are birds 0 They are vertebrates 0 They go through sexual reproduction 0 They lay eggs

Differences 0 The way embryo is developed is different 0 They are different kinds of birds, so they have different adaptions. 0 The parents might have different ways of teaching their children.
