Today we learned about birds! It was a fun filled day; campers made bird masks and looked for fossils outside. Campers learned that:
- Birds have hollow bones, because it makes them lighter for flight.
- Some birds cannot fly, and most of them have found other ways to escape from predators.
- Examples are swimming, agility, and speed.
- Some birds that do not have a way to escape predators evolved in an area with no predators. When a new predator is introduced these species often die out. An example of this is the kiwi.
Today's animal handler was Kelsy. She got to hold a cockatiel named Sunny. Cockatiels are social birds that love to climb!
At the end of the day, campers watched more of the movie and the campers of the day were awarded. Zach and Kamya were awarded!
Ask your child about Lucky the rooster! Also, tomarrow is monster day, so be sure to bring in anything related to share!
