Weekly What Bird

Can you name all the species and the right amount of them?


Ask me if you want a hint

Note: I am leaving tomorrow to go camping with a friend so my brother will check any answers given and reply.

Ontario - 2013 - Niagara and Bird Kingdom

We went to Niagara for the day. We also went to Bird Kingdom, a tropical bird aviary place. Since it was all tropical birds I barely knew any of the birds but later identified most of them from their website.

Niagara Falls

 In a building we were in near the falls house sparrows were nesting everywhere in the building, in big letters, on the wall, on a wall covered in vines, etc... Outside the building there were a lot of gulls. We saw a lot of Double-crested Cormorants flying around the falls.  We went behind the falls too.

Bird Kingdom

I had almost no idea what any of the birds were because they
were all tropical and I never had time to read the signs that said

what they were because I was taking pictures. I later 
identified most of them from their website though.
 Bird Kingdom was very fun and interesting.

This parakeet was very funny because he copied almost everything
