Study Notes
Animals and Birds
- Animals are living beings that breathe, move, eat, and reproduce to create more of their kind.
- Animals can make sounds but cannot speak like humans.
- Animals have senses like sight, smell, and hearing.
- Animals have a life cycle, growing old and eventually dying.
- Animals require food and water to survive.
- Animals give birth to young ones or lay eggs.
- Animals move around.
Special Features of Birds
- Birds have feathers (down, body, flight).
- Down feathers are soft and fluffy, found on the underside, keeping the bird warm.
- Body feathers cover the rest of the bird's body, giving it shape.
- Flight feathers are on the wings and tail, enabling flight and changing direction.
- Birds have beaks, varying in shape and size based on the type of food they eat.
- Birds have feet and claws, for catching food and perching.
Food Chains
- A food chain is a system where a small animal eats plants, and is then eaten by a bigger animal, potentially by another bigger animal.
- Within a food chain, energy and materials are transferred from one organism to another.
- All food chains start with plants.
- Animals, including birds, depend on plants directly or indirectly for food.
- Carnivores eat other animals, herbivores eat plants, omnivores eat both.
Bird Nests
- Birds build nests to lay eggs and care for their young.
- Birds use different materials to build nests, such as twigs, straw, cotton, pebbles, and mud.
- Some birds, like weaver birds, build very intricate nests.
- Other birds, like sparrows and pigeons, build nests in various locations, close to human settlements.
Bird Migration
- Birds migrate to warmer climates in winter when food and conditions are challenging.
- The migration is a seasonal movement to favourable locations.
Movements in Animals
- Land animals typically have four legs to walk or run (e.g., horses, cows).
- Some animals like crocodiles or lizards have short legs and prefer to crawl.
- Snakes have no legs, using body muscles to move.
- Animals that live in water, like fish, use fins and tails for swimming.
- Birds use wings to fly, and also use legs to walk or run.
Eating Habits in Animals
- Animals cannot produce their own food.
- They eat plants or the flesh of other animals.
- Animals that feed only on plants are called herbivores (e.g., cows, horses, goats, rabbits).
