Passerformes: Jodi
Examples of order:
- Tilts, sparrows, finches, jays, swallows, and crows
Habitat:
- They are often found in grasslands, woodlands, scrublands, forests, deserts, mountain, and urban environments.
- They are known as perching birds, therefore they live in area that are filled with trees. In other words, they are arboreal
What they eat:
- They eat mostly seeds, fruits, insects, small birds and lizards, marine vertebrates, and carrion (decay animals)
Method of eating:
- Their bill ( baek) range from tiny, needle-like bills of insect-eating warblers, to generally huge, bills of finches which are designed to crack the hard shells of seeds
- Furthermore, they use their beak to take insect from the bark of trees
Physical Characteristic:
- Their first toe is called hallux ( often called the hind toe because it always points backward and is never reversible). It allows them to perch on many different slender structures like tree branches, grasses, telephone and fence wires, feeders
- Their vocal organ allows them to produce a large range of vocalization
Behaviour:
- They sometime copy calls of other birds, especially the songs of competing males within their own species. Some even copy the sounds of insects, frogs, mechanical sounds that can be heard in their environment.
- During migration, they migrate from their nesting area to warmer regions, or from southern temperate regions north to the tropics
