Birds - Facts for Kids

Golden Eagles have extra fluffy feathers on their heads — more than most other eagles! It’s like they’re wearing a cozy hat!

The air space inside an egg grows larger as the egg gets older!

Most toucans wake up just before sunrise and go to sleep right after sunset!

Quetzals (and all trogons) have a one-of-a-kind toe setup called heterodactyl—that means two toes point forward and two point backward, but in a special order only they use! It helps them hang onto branches like little tree ninjas.

Macaws are excellent mimics and can copy the sounds of other animals, including dogs, cats, and even car alarms!
