Body....

Birds are warm-blooded.  This means they have a fairly high body temperature that does not change much and is not affected by the surrounding temperature.  They often puff up their bodies and feathers to show off their authority or to appear threatening to predators.  Birds are eating constantly during the day.  Chickadees can eat up to 35% of their body weight daily while hummingbirds eat 100% of their body weight in nectar daily. They were given an oval lacing card and encouraged to decorate the ovals with markers and eye stickers.  They laced the ovals together and stuffed the "bird body" with scrap paper.  They flew and continued to feed birds until they were stuffed!
In their journals they were encouraged to draw eight pairs of bird watching eyes (working on counting to 16).
