Crow
Whether the crows' system of communication constitutes a language is a topic of debate and study. Crows have also been observed to respond to calls of other species; this behavior is presumably learned because it varies regionally. Crows' vocalizations are complex and poorly understood.Crows and ravens often score very highly on intelligence tests. Certain species top the avian IQ scale. Clever crow video

Sandpiper
The Scolopacidae are a large family of waders, (known as shorebirds in North America).The majority of these species eat small invertebrates picked out of the mud or soil. Different lengths of bills enable different species to feed in the same habitat, particularly on the coast, without direct competition for food. |
Flamingo Flamingos often stand on one leg, the other tucked beneath the body. Recent research has indicated that standing on one leg may allow the birds to conserve more body heat. Flamingos feed their young with a pink milk called 'crop milk.' Young flamingos hatch with grey plumage, but adults range from light pink to bright red due to aqueous bacteria and beta carotene obtained from their food supply. A well-fed, healthy flamingo is more vibrantly coloured and thus a more desirable mate. A white or pale flamingo, however, is usually unhealthy or malnourished.
