    Extractions: Order: Struthioniformes or Casuariiformes Emus are members of a group of large, flightless birds. Only one species surives today of Australia; related emus on Tasmania and Kangaroo Island were extinct by the early 19th century. Excluding the ostrich, the emu is the largest of all birds with a height of 6 ft and a weight of 130 lb. The wings of the emu are mere rudiments found beneath the coarse hairlike feathers of the body. The plumage is dull brown. It is darker on the head, neck, and middle of the back and lighter on the undersides. The naked parts of the head and neck are grayish-blue while the bill and feet are brown. The emu inhabits the open plains and brush of Australia where it feeds chiefly upon roots, fruits, and herbage. The bird is peaceful, timid and capable of running at considerable speed to elude attackers. Emus normally breed as pairs. The hen can be reproductive for as long as 20 years, laying between 20 to 50 eggs in a single season. It places its eggs (dark green color and about 4 in long) in a scooped-out hole in the ground. Incubation takes almost two months and is performed entirely by the male, who also cares for the chicks. Photo courtesy of EMU The native Australian Aborigines obtained a large part of their food, clothing, shelter, medicinal and spiritual sustenance from the emu. Emus are currently raised throughout the United States and have adapted to challenging conditions as the frigid winters of North Dakota to the harsh heat of southern Texas.

    Extractions: Pheasant Birds Photo credited to Gaye There are about 50 species of pheasants. All pheasants, except the Congo Peafowl are native to Asia, but other species have been introduced elsewhere. The most populer species is the common pheasant, often refered to as the Ring-necked Pheasant because of the white ring around the neck of males. The pheasant originally was brought into Europe by the Romans. A ring-necked Chinese race came into North America around the late 18th century, and was later introduced in Europe.There is also a Black-necked Pheasant from Europe that was later introduced in North America. Male pheasants are very colorful in order to attract females for breeding. Females are usually brown or black in color for better camoflage when nesting in their roost. Pheasants do best in open country and are especially abundant in the grainfields of North America. They are also found in the Eastern states all the way down to North Carolina. In North America and Europe many pheasants are bred on game farms and released for hunting. As many as 15 or more species of pheasant are considered endangered or threatened. Protection has helped to maintain populations of species and total extinction of most species is very unlikely. Photo credited to Gaye Size Males are about 90 cm long. Females are about 63 cm long

New Zealand birds t-shirts N ew Zealand was the fabled land of birds. New Zealand's biota was so strange that it would be dismissed as science fiction if the fossil record was not there to prove it. There were some 70 species of birds found nowhere else in the world, more than a third of them were flightless and almost a quarter of them nocturnal. Many of the birds occupied niches for which, in other ecosystems, mammals evolved. The early European explorers and naturalists likened New Zealand to a lost Arcadia, the Garden of Eden before the Fall. Although they had no concept of continental drift, they realised that New Zealand must have been isolated before the evolution of large mammals.Today, New Zealand's forests are quiet, eerily so, empty of birds compared to those of pre-human times. Unique and vulnerable species were exterminated by hunting, habitat destruction and the introduction of mammalian predators. All we now have left are the remnants of a lost fauna. "May I ask that our heavenly father, your ancestors and mine, bless your site. Notwithstanding this, I am sure that you would join with me and ask for a blessing from the birds themselves, as they have also joined our ancestors."

    Extractions: Ask your average paleontologist who is familiar with the phylogeny of vertebrates and they will probably tell you that yes, birds (avians) are dinosaurs . Using proper terminology, birds are avian dinosaurs; other dinosaurs are non-avian dinosaurs, and (strange as it may sound) birds are technically considered reptiles . Overly technical? Just semantics? Perhaps, but still good science. In fact, the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of birds being the descendants of a maniraptoran dinosaur , probably something similar (but not identical) to a small dromaeosaur . What is this evidence? We'll spare you the exhaustive amount of available cladistic studies; those alone would make a large book if compiled. Dr. Jacques Gauthier, during his time as a graduate student of Professor Kevin Padian here at Berkeley, did his dissertation research on this subject, creating the first well accepted, detailed phylogeny of the diapsids . His work provided strong, compelling support for the theory that birds are theropod dinosaurs If we look back into the history of the issue, it is apparent that many comparative anatomists during the 16th through 19th centuries noticed that birds were very similar to traditional reptiles. In 1860, shortly after the publication of
