About Birds

The only creatures capable of self-flight, birds are classified under the species of Aves -- derrived from the word "avian" meaning capable of flight. All birds have wings, but some have limited flight capabilities. Birds like Peacocks, Penguins, Turkeys and Ostriches are examples of flightless birds. All birds, however, do have beaks with which they peck for defense and use to eat or make noise. Birds also have two legs and give birth to other birds by laying eggs. The eggs are kept warm until the baby birds inside are large enough and strong enough to peck their way out. Birds are fed a diet of worms and other creatures when the mother chews them up and regurgitates them into the mouths of her young. Other examples of birds that can fly include Sparrows, Chickens, Hummingbirds, Cardinals, and Blue Jays.

Dressing up as a Bird

Let your imagination take flight with a variety of bird costumes and accessories spanning the entire feathered kingdom. Both genders can shake a tail feather with a bright pink Flamingo costume that can be stepped into with a long, attached flamingo neck and face mask. Ladies may want to garner attention with a brightly colored Peacock costume with a turquoise and green costume featuring a short skirt and flared attached overskirt that can be flipped up or down with brightly colored faux peacock feathers with eyes and a green bodice and headdress. For another recognizable "boid," dress up as Tweety Bird from Looney Tunes with a yellow mascot-style costume as the crafty canary!
