burrowing owl: it digs out a burrow so that he can lure his mate underneath the ground. they are usually monogamous, but there are times when a male will have 2 mates. usually they will use cow dung to place in front of their burrow to hide the smell of the newborns, and attract insects (part of their diet). this owl thrives during the day and night.
zebra finch: every male finch song is different, and all finches will have their own uniqueness onto a common rhythmic framework. Fathers pass on their songs to their sons that they will change during puberty, but afterwards they are locked in for the life. Their song begins as a few sounds, but as they experiment and match what they sing to the memory of the fathers song, it rapidly matures into a full song. Singing to females is an emotionally rewarding experience for male Zebra Finches. Male Zebra Finches begin to sing at puberty while females lack a singing ability, and they will lay larger eggs if their mate is ugly.
chickadee: can go into a bat cave and eat a bat by cracking its skull open by using its beak.
thunderbird: can be 5 ft tall, with wingspan that can range to 14 ft. it can pick up a fully developed coyote with its claws, and lift itself off the ground within 3 flaps of the wings.
