If you answered D to all five questions, CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE A BIRD! Birds are the only living creatures on earth with feathers. Most, but not all, use their feathered wings and hollow bones filled with pockets of air to help them soar through the sky. Their beaks serve as multipurpose tools that can drill, strain, saw, and crack seeds! But you already know this because YOU’RE A BIRD! And you made that known the second you popped out of that egg laid by your mother.

Oh, you say you’re NOT a bird? Well, even better! Come on in and allow us to introduce you to our fine feathered friends.
