How do baby birds survive to adulthood?
Baby birds are so cute and they look as if they have an easy life. But in reality, it can be a bit tricky! Learning to fly in ONE day is like learning to swim in ONE HOUR! Baby birds must have A LOT of trouble, so here is some information.
Nearly all baby birds are without covering and blind when they come out of the egg. They are called hatchlings. Their parents must keep them warm and feed them roughly every 15 minutes during the day. Most young birds ask for food by opening their beaks and chirping. This is called gaping or food begging. The parents put food into the babies mouths. Every type of bird eats different foods. Some eat bugs, some eat berries, and some eat seeds when they’re older. The adults know just what to feed the babies.Soon their eyes open and feathers start to grow, and then the babies are called nestlings. The new feathers are called blood quills or pin feathers. These new feathers look like shiny blue tubes. The birds tails are just starting to grow, and are less than 1/2 inch long.
Birds that are two weeks old are called fledglings. They have grown so fast that now they have feathers, and a tail that's 1/2 inch long. 

The birds are inquisitive and want to discover the world. They leave the nest even though they can’t fly or eat on their own. The beginner birds hop on the ground and call to their parents to be fed. It will take the little birds a few days to be able to fly up to unelevated branches. It will take two weeks for them to learn to feed themselves. The parents show the young ones how to find food and what to eat. The adult birds make loud noises to warn the fledglings when danger is close-at-hand.After two more weeks, the babies are as big as adults and can fly well. They have long tails and are called juveniles. Some will still plead with their parents for food, even though they can eat on their own! Soon the parent birds get ready for their next group of babies. Most birds can only have families in the spring and summer, and will have 2-3 nests of young during this time of year.

So from the facts that we have found out, baby birds seem to live a simple life, but they don’t. They lead very complicating lives. But by the time they're adults, they have become mature and responsible. They’re definitely not babies anymore.

Thanks for reading!!

Notes	Draft	Recrafting
Cohort of dinosaurs 150 million years Overcome the odds to survive Reptiles 10% survive to adults 1% survive with human intervention	Over 150 million years ago, along with the dinosaurs, lived a species of sea turtles.  They have managed to survive longer than many other animals from that period.  However, only 10% of sea turtles to breeding age.  Now that humans have come along, only 1% of all sea turtles survive to breed the new generation of baby sea turtles.	Over 150 million years ago, along with the dinosaurs, there lived a species of sea turtles.  They have managed to survive longer than many other animals from the Jurassic period.  However, only 10% of sea turtles live to breeding age.  Now that humans have come along, only 1% of all sea turtles survive to breed the new generation of baby sea turtles.

Eggs

Notes	Draft	Recrafting
Eggs of an sea turtle is a size of a small ping pong ball. the mother goes to the top of the beach and lays the eggs the mother lay 1000 eggs a year the mother lays 50 - 200 eggs in one spot	An adult sea turtles climbs up a beach to lay 1000 eggs.  First she digs a hole, so that she can lay the eggs in it. Then the eggs hatch and try to make it to the water but sadly only 400 make it to the water.

Then the eggs hatch and try to make it to the water but sadly only 400 baby sea turtles make it to the water.

growing up

Notes	draft	recrafting
they find a place to stay for their first month they will also get new and bigger predators slowly they grow bigger	They find a nice place to stay for their first month of being a sea turtle. They also get bigger and bigger to be a predator. Slower and slower they grow into an adult sea turtle.	The baby sea turtles find a cosy place for their first month of living in this world. They will also get bigger and stronger as a predator. very slowly they will grow bigger and bigger until it’s time to explore.

Adult sea turtles

Adult sea turtles get more protection Adult sea turtles do get more of the larger  shark species and more danger only 20 survive without human interference 2 survive	adult sea turtles preditors
