5 Bird Facts

• THE SHORTEST BEAK: the KIWI since its nostrils are at the end of its beak

• THE LONGEST BEAK: the AUSTRALIAN PELICAN with a 13-18.5 inch beak

• THE SMALLEST BIRD: the male BEE HUMMINGBIRD who weighs in at a whooping 0.056 ounces

• THE BIGGEST FIELD OF VISION: the WOODCOCK whose eyes are placed so far back in its head that it can see 360 degrees around itself

• THE LARGEST WINGSPAN: the WANDERING ALBATROSS. In 1965, a male was found with a wingspan of 11 feet 11 inches. These birds can fly for several hours without beating their wings.

Are there more bird facts to add? Of course there are.

5 drawings was all I had time to do for this week’s post.

See what interesting bird facts you can find.

Have a great day!
