What Seeds Do Birds Prefer to Eat?

If you'd like to learn more about the birds in your area, then building a bird feeder is a great way to do that. A well-placed feeder will attract birds, allowing you to get a close-up look without disturbing the birds from behind a nearby window.

This project shows you how to design and build a four-part feeder that will make it easy to figure out what types of seeds your local birds like best. The project is based on an entry to the 2007 California State Science Fair (Fukumitsu, 2007). With this design, you can easily measure the rate at which different types of seeds are consumed. You can also observe which species of birds prefer which part of the feeder. This will give you insight into species-specific seed preferences for your local bird population.

You should do background research on the types of birds in your area. Find out about each bird's preferred habitat and diet. With the right food, you may be able to attract some birds that you don't normally see otherwise. So spend some time in your wood shop, then get out your binoculars and start watching birds!

Ecobot III eats food and needs to poop

Who would have thought that a robot might actually consume actual food and generate organic instead of nuclear waste? That's what a group of researchers at the University of Bristol are doing, working on robots which draw power by digesting food. The Ecobot III is the culmination of their work so far, as it feeds on processed sewage thanks to its 48 microbial food cells. Microbes within will extract energy from the food by digesting it, while the robot will extract some of it by harvesting the electrons put off by the microbes. There was enough energy extracted for the robot to move around, not to mention returning to feed and purge when necessary.

The Flying Flea Calie and Me

The flying flea calie and me is a book about a cat who does not eat birds!
A birds family leaves south and a baby bird that can't fly stays behind.
The cat that doesn't eat birds cat helped the bird fly and catch food

My New Razor Scooter

It is red , golden. It can fold. It is fun but hard.

Cake Fun

My sister and I are playing with a chocolate cake. I had so much fun that I want to do it everyday.

BEACHES

What is a Beach?

A beach is made of very small loose rock (sand) that gathers at the shore of a body of water. Beaches are created by waves or currents. The sand comes from erosion of rocks both far away from and near the water. Coral reefs are a major source of sand.

Crabs, insects, and birds feed on material left by the waves. Some small animals dig into the sand to get their food. Birds use beaches to nest, and sea turtles lay their eggs on ocean beaches. Sea grasses and other beach plants grow on areas of the beach and dunes where there is not much activity.

How to Protect Your Beach

Things you can do to help protect your beach:

* Dispose of trash properly - use trash cans at the beach or take your trash home with you
* Reduce, reuse and recycle as many as possible of the things you use -- anywhere, anytime
* Cut the rings off plastic six-pack holders so that animals (like fish, turtles or seals) can't get tangled in them — leave no solid plastic loops
* Join local beach, river or stream clean-ups
* Teach others how to practice good beach safety

My Chicago Trip

Chicago is very snowy and windy. I went to Chicago to see houses. I played with snow and had lots of fun. I will be going there again as soon as my papa finds a house. I loved Chicago.
