“No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.” – William Blake  

Birds are vertebrate animals adapted for flight. Many can run, jump, swim, and dive along with flying. Some, like penguins, have lost their ability to fly but have retained their wings. Birds are found worldwide and in all habitats. The largest is the nine-foot-tall ostrich. The smallest is the two-inch-long hummingbird.

Students of Class I participated in an activity where they drew a bird on a piece of chart paper and they labelled its body parts. They also observed some birds in their natural habitat. They were very excited to know about different kinds of birds, their features and characteristics. Knowing and gaining knowledge on different kinds of creatures on the planet gives the students a chance to expand their horizons of scientific wisdom and knowledge.
