[4-Animals 视频] 像鸟儿一样展翅高飞 | Birds

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly like a bird?

There are many different kinds of birds, but they all have some things in common: they have two legs, wings, feathers and a beak or bill. They lay eggs that hatch into chicks.

There are birds in the hottest places on earth, and the coldest.

They can be tiny, like the hummingbird - which is as small as your finger! Its wings beating so quickly, you can hardly see them. And it can fly backwards - no other bird does that.

Some birds are enormous, like ostriches. They're almost three times the size of you! Their strong, powerful legs carry them quickly over the ground.

Some birds eat insects, or fish, some eat worms and some only seeds, or fruit.

Most birds use their wings to fly high above the treetops. Like this eagle, soaring through the sky with large finger-shaped wing feathers and sharp eyes, looking for prey. It makes its nest in old, big trees.

Penguins cannot fly, but they swim - with wings like flippers, they dive deep underwater searching for food. On land, they hop or waddle - but in water they can zip through to quickly catch their prey: fish, squid and other small sea animals.

There are almost 10 thousand different bird species in the world.

Some birds live in the forest, like owls.

Some live in parks and gardens, like magpies and robins.

Some live on farms, like hens and chicks.

And some can be kept as pets, like budgies and parrots.

How many different birds can you name?
