Owl pellets are masses of bone, teeth, hair, feathers and exoskeletons of various animals preyed upon by raptors, or birds of prey. Owls have weak stomach muscles that form undigested bones, feathers, and fur. Because they can’t break those things down they regurgitate them in the form of a ball called a pellet. Owls produce these pellets and regurgitated them approximately 20 hours after eating. The purpose of this lab is to dissect an owl’s pellet and investigate what was on that singular owl’s diet. We are first to do this by identifying the bones of the animals the owl eat.…

Dr. Curry-Roger’s talk was very interesting and had many different points throughout. The first interesting point mentioned was that dinosaurs are birds. Dr. Curry-Roger explained that both birds and dinosaurs had a lot in common. She stated that birds have feathers that are complex, a fused clavicle, short bony tails, bones that are filled with air sacs, efficient breathing, and a fast growth rate. When comparing fossils to birds, they had many of the same features. Some dinosaurs had feathers, Dr. Curry Roger’s provided us with pictures of these feathers. Additionally, the bones of these fossils also showed evidence of air sacs and had reached sexual maturity quickly, showing that they too were fast growers. Additionally, new evidence shows that dinosaurs may have had collagen found on their claws. All of these combined coincidences make dinosaurs very similar to birds, and would explain the origin of birds.…
This image addresses these questions. We can see that in the image there are two odd looking creatures who are bleeding onto a hand with a chicken’s head. This chicken’s head is dripping in blood while there is a small bar of soap at its feet. The only thing in colour is the blood which signifies that it symbolises something important.…
The film introduces us to an overcrowded chicken farm in Kentucky and clarifies the fact that chickens have doubled in size since the 1950’s. Chickens today are genetically modified to have larger breasts in order to respond to the demands of the consumer’s preference for white meat. The chickens grow at such a rate that their bones and organs can’t keep up with the rapid weight gain. The chickens aren’t able to walk around since their legs cannot carry the weight.…

Wing's Chips, by Mavis Gallant, is a story that points out stereotypes amongst social classes in cultural groups in Canada. This story points out in particular the stereotype between the French and the English in Quebec. In the story, a young, English girl lives with her father in a French-Canadian town. Besides the fact that her father was an English man, he also didn't conform to the norm of a working man. He was a painter and was not a catholic man. Near the end of the story, a powerful, French family asked the father if he would paint them a sign for their new store. Everyone loved the sign, and thought it was the most beautiful sign that they had ever seen. The young girl felt that the sign proved that her and her father were just as ordinary as the other French families.…
In the article, “Chicken Hips,” the Canadian narrator, Catherine Pigott gives us the different cultural views between Canada and Africa; mainly the societies’ views regarding beauty and image. In the early 1980s Pigott goes to Gambia, Africa to experience a new culture. Pigott faced trouble when she first went to Gambia because she had many problems adjusting to a new society and new people. When looking around at everyone, she saw that everyone was “big.” Men and women had thick legs and big bellies. The women in the house where Pigott was staying, thought that she was ill because she was too skinny. Her hips stuck out to where you could see her hip bone, so the women called her “Chicken Hips.” Every day the women tried to “fatten” her up because in Gambia people think bigger is better. Gambia’s people think large breast, round bellies, wide hips, and thick legs are beautiful. The bigger a person is, the more beautiful they are. In Canada, skinnier is better; skinny is beautiful. Over Pigott’s years in Gambia, she had grown into their culture and had gotten bigger. Pigott felt liberated experiencing a new culture, but when she returns home she feels that people are talking and making comments about her weight, and judging her body’s every moment. She didn’t like the way she look. She wanted to change herself, so she would be accepted by others. Each culture has their own views, and every individual in each culture has their own opinion and…
