Flamingo
Red Bird
All birds reproduce sexually. Males having paired testes
lying in the bodity cavity, and females having only a
functional left ovary and oviduct. The females lay sets of
eggs in discrete groups, in nests. The numbers of eggs
layed depends, the shapes varry too.
Red Bird
The embryo is a fertilized egg at any stage of
development prior to hatching. In its later stages, it
clearly resembles the fully developed chick. After the
egg is laid, cooling the egg after the egg is laid does not
result in the death of the embryo.
Red Bird
Baby birds are not responsible for food gathering or
protection of the nest, so they generally develop a
psychological dependence that must be overcome.
Parent birds begin to teach their fledglings the
importance of flying by remaining a short distance away
from the nest during feeding. If the young birds are to
survive, they must step away from the nest. Frequently,
this means a few hard falls to the ground followed a
long trip back to the safety of the nest.
Red Bird
Eagle
Bald eaglesreproduce sexually. Like most birds, they
reproduce by laying eggs. They reach maturity around
the same time their head and tail feathers turn white,
usually when they are between 5 and 6 years of age. Egg
incubation is about 35 days.
Eagle
The yolk contains the fertilized egg cell from which the
embryo forms, and is rich in proteins and fat that are
the food required by the developing embryo. The
albumen is the source of amino acids and minerals and
surrounds the yolk. The egg shell not only protects the
developing embryo, but is porous and allows the
passage of water vapor, ozygen and carbon dioxide, thus
permitting the eagle chick to breathe
Eagle
Same as all the baby birds, a baby eagles are not
responsible for food gathering or protection of the nest,
so they generally develop a psychological dependence
that must be overcome. Parent birds begin to teach their
fledglings the importance of flying by remaining a short
distance away from the nest during feeding. If the young
birds are to survive, they must step away from the nest.
Frequently, this means a few hard falls to the ground
followed a long trip back to the safety of the nest.

Flamingo
Flamingos reach sexual maturity several years after
hatching and usually begin to breed at about six years of
age, Flamingos reproduce sexually. Flamingo colonies
may breed at different times of the year. It all depends
on the circumstances. Pair bonding is very strong, and
flamingos may be monogamous. However, flamingos
have been observed to mate with more than one
partner. Flamingos have to perform some kind of ritual
before laying eggs.
Flamingo
The embryonic flamingo first starts to develop in the
egg, when it is still in the mothers body. But, once the
mother lays the egg, it undergoes the majority of the
development. The baby flamingo only starts to break
out of the egg when the baby embryo is fully developed.
Flamingos use oviparity development, as all birds do,
therefore the embryo develops in the egg, outside of the
body/externally.
Flamingo
Females have been known to lay two eggs, but this is
rare. After the egg is layed the incubation begins. The
incubation period is between 27 and 31 days. Both the
male and female take turns incubating the egg by sitting
on top of the nest mound. Eggs that fall from the nesting
mound are not retrieved
Flamingo
Parents are able to recognize their own chick by sight
and vocalizations. They will feed no other chick. A
flamingo chick will leave the nest after four to seven
days, when it is strong enough to stand and walk.
Parents keep a close, protective watch on their chick as
it explores its habitat.
Flamingo
Similarities
0 All of them are birds
0 They are vertebrates
0 They go through sexual reproduction
0 They lay eggs
Differences
0 The way embryo is developed is different
0 They are different kinds of birds, so they have
different adaptions.
0 The parents might have different ways of teaching
their children.
