Bird Quiz


As a Bird-Fanatic, I just really can't get enough of birds.
So I posted a quiz to keep you engaged to wanting to learn about them.
I will know all the answers, YAY!!!

1# Are Blackbirds black?

2#How many species of penguin are there?

3# What extinct bird was nicknamed, "The Demon Duck"?

4# What extinct animals were birds (mainly chickens) related to?

5# What is the Spanish name for penguins?

6# What is the Latin name for penguins?

7# What type of bird is a Hobby?

8# What is the name of Britain's smallest owl?

9# Are Feral Pigeons Endangered rare etc.?

10# What is a Wren's full scientific name?

You don't have to complete it, but if you do, I will give you a prize (depending on when you finish). If one person finished first and someone else finished after, but had more specific answers, the person who has more specific answers will get the prize!

3 prizes! Whoopee! Will I be getting one? LOL! Just kidding. Oh about the badges, could everyone in the club donate around $3? He took $5 of the price so now they are $3 instead of $8. They will be made and brought to school in our first week back.
