Usually in the spring and summer you can see many chicks sitting or jumping along the ground. You might think that these absolutely helpless crumbs fell out of the nest or fell, making their first flight, and adult birds forgot about them. But it is only for you to get closer to the chicks, parents will immediately make themselves to know a loud cry and clapping wings. Parental instinct in birds is very developed and tremendous care for chicks is characteristic of almost all types of feathered.
Briefly about feathery
Birds (from Latin Aves) are a separate group of vertebrate animals, which is customary to allocate in a separate class. The variety of birds is large, but the structure of everyone is approximately the same. All representatives of this class have feathers, wings, hind limbs, toothless jaws and beaks. The presence of more or less developed wings gives most birds the opportunity to fly, although the class of birds includes both lacking birds, such as penguin or ostrich. The digestive and respiratory system of birds is uniquely adapted for flight. Some species of birds live in aquatic environment, these are waterfowl. They have a special structure of the hind limbs, giving them the opportunity to swim.
The offspring of birds
- Reproduction. Birds produce offspring, laying eggs into the nest, fertilization of the egg occurs inside the female. Both parents are involved in the smoothing of chicks, they warm their warmth in the egg embryos for several weeks. Most birds have a long period of parental care and after the appearance of chicks to light.
- Nutrition. Thanks to the reserves of nutrients in the egg, the chicks are not hungry first. Further meals are entirely dependent on parents who will bring their offspring insects and worms in their beats.
- Appearance. The chicks that appeared absolutely tiny, often with a big head and even closed eyes. The chicks are hatched already with a fluff on the skin, but due to the protective coating of keratin, it is not visible and the impression is that the body of the chick is smooth. When the coating dries out, the chick becomes fluffy. Already by the end of the first week, the first features begin to form, but what would be a real opener they must change several times.
Phase chicks
On our territory one of the most common birds is a pigeon. Every child knows what this bird looks like, but did you manage to see the pigeon chick? The fact is that pigeons of pigeons leave the nest almost molded, somewhere 6 weeks after the appearance of the light. Being in the nest, they almost do not have a fluff, he sticking out, sticking out in different directions and has a pinkish shade. But the beak at the chick is large, strong and the same pinkish. Pooh around the eyes has a grayish tint. The famous expression "laughs" just belongs to the pigeon's chick, it seems to be inflated or pompous, very important. When the chicks begin to fly out of the nest to distinguish them from adult birds on larger feathers on the back of the head.
Paths of Ostrich
Ostrich is the largest bird, but it is noteworthy that it is famous not only in its sizes and weight, which is more than 100 kg, but also the speed of running - 50 km / h. If such major parents, then what a young ostrich will be, whom the chick is somehow inappropriate. The fact is that the ostrician appears on the light of the already fully formed, because The female raises the eggs of 40 days. His weight near a kilogram. He is a real Giant! His body is already covered with flippers, and a long neck - spotted flush.
The chick has long and strong legs, a long beak, very predetermined posture, and attentive black eyes vocabulary watching everything that happens around. Ostrichnok is in no hurry to leave his nest, he adapts the experience from the elders for 2 years and only after that he begins to live independently.
Humble chicks
The smallest hummingbird bird is very thoughtful mom. Her chicks appear without feathers, with small yellow cruveurs and closed eyes. Because of the complete absence of the pen and the fluff of chicks frown and mom - the hummingbirds have to warm them the first few days. When they are slightly lit in the nest, they appetite appetite and mom every 20 minutes should put something in Kuvik. It can be a worm or nectar. Of course, Mom's life is restless.
By the beginning of the second week, the bare body of chicks is covered with rugs - needles, now the kids are not so flashed, but before the emergence of a normal opera - by the beginning of the third week, they look very funny with black bald heads and white needles.
Chicks Soroka
Another frequent guest in our places is forty. For her permanent "DRINKING", it was nicknamed by a gossip, and she became a character of folk fairy tales, poems and proverbs. But no one will argue that this large bird is very beautiful and even elegant. But her chicks are not distinguished by nothing. They are born with big heads and beaks, they are just as well as their parents shout loudly when hungry. And they are constantly hungry. When the chicks will grow up together with their parents protect their territory and, if necessary, protect it. Young chicks are difficult to distinguish from adult birds. The color of the cerebrals corresponds to adult birds.
Duck chicks
Duck is a very unusual bird. But of course the main difference between her from the rest of the birds is that it is waterfowl. Her front limbs - wings help her fly, and the rear is swimming. Wild ducks are equipping their nests in the reeds and bring offspring to the beginning of the fall. Before chicks, there is a difficult task, not only grow before the onset of cold weather, but also learned to fly and swim until the reservoirs have frozen. Little ducklings are just charming!
The gun, which covers the body can be with yellow, gray, but the main thing is such a gentle thing that these cute creatures want to stroke. The neck of duckling is long, the head is small, but the beak is weighty, the slurred attaches the significance and severity of the chick. The rear paws and the beak are pinkish - reddish, on the sponge paws for the convenience of swimming in the water. The rear of the chick ends with a large tail, which is also covered with a flock. Mom - Duck teaches his offspring to everything that knows herself and therefore ducklings constantly follow her by the Guska in order not to get lost.
It will take quite a bit of time and all the chicks will be fell, grow up and leave their nests in order to produce new offspring - their chicks.
