Birds (class Aves or clade Avialae) are feathered, winged, two-legged, warm-blooded, egg-laying vertebrates. Aves ranks as the tetrapod class with the most living species, approximately ten thousand. Extant birds belong to the subclass Neornithes, living worldwide and ranging in size from the 5 cm (2 in) Bee Hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) Ostrich. The fossil record indicates that birds emerged within the theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. Most researchers agree that modern-day birds are the only living members of the Dinosauria clade.

Modern birds are characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. Extant birds have wings; the most recent species without wings was the moa, which is generally considered to have become extinct in the 16th century. Wings are evolved forelimbs, and most bird species can fly. Flightless birds include ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. Some

    The Beak of the Finch opens with Peter and Rosemary Grant studying their well-recognized finches on one of the islands on the Galápagos called Daphne Major. The couple records their data carefully, collecting the birds’ wing length, tarsus length, beak length, beak depth, plumage and weight. The reader first notices and questions such tedious, meticulous measurements of the simple finch. However, later, the novel reveals later that the precise measurements these scientists are taking are crucial, especially for the bird. The Grants briefly review the bird’s history, including its age, how often it had bred and any offspring it had raised. Recording information about each of the finches on Daphne Major is an important part of studying evolution. The novel explains that not many scientists have actually studied evolution, though it is an extremely important subject in science. Darwin’s theory of natural selection has been neglected, with very few experiments testing its extraordinary capability. It actually seems as if no one realizes the power of Darwin’s theory, not even Darwin himself.…

    Evolution is a natural process in which animals adapt to their surroundings so that they may survive. There are many variables in an animal’s environment that influence its evolution. The purpose of this lab is to examine finches from the island of Darwin and the island of Wallace and how the island size, finches’ clutch size and the precipitation on both islands directly affect the finches’ beak size and population. I believe that a larger island size, larger clutch size and high precipitation will lead to a smaller beak size and larger population.…

    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.…

    The first experiment is designed to study the influence of beak size on finch population numbers. For finches, deep beaks are strong beaks, ideally suited for cracking hard seeds, and shallow beaks are better suited for cracking soft seeds. I experimented first with the finches’ adaptation and evolution of their population over 300 years, and changed the Wallace birds beak size to 28mm, and Darwin’s birds stayed at the default of 12mm.…
