How did you do on this bird quiz? Birds truly are amazing creatures. They have adapted to life in nearly every part of our planet, from freezing polar regions to scorching deserts and thick forests.

Their abilities range from the peregrine falcon’s 240 mph dive to the arctic tern’s 44,000-mile annual migration. Some can see ultraviolet light, while others can sense Earth’s magnetic field for navigation.

Birds have been around for over 150 million years, evolving from dinosaurs into the feathered fliers we know today. They play crucial roles in ecosystems as pollinators, seed spreaders, and pest controllers.

So next time you hear chirping outside your window or spot a hawk circling overhead, take a moment to appreciate these remarkable animals that connect the ground to the sky.
