Birds


My favorites animals are the birds, I like them pretty much because birds can fly, jump and sing at the same time. The most of them have beautiful wings, wonderful colors and little feet and beack. 
They eat seeds, fruits, nectar, plants and carrion. Many species of birds migrate an take advantage of seasonal differences in temperature in the world.
Birds communicate principally using visual and auditive signals. During the breeding season they have  a lot of rituals, some of them are very sophisticated, like the courtship of the male to the female, or construction of nests to have eggs.
The birds live and breed in  terrestrial habitats and are present in all continents, including the Antarctic territory.
I don't like birds in cages and I don't like to eat them, I like to see them in the nature and free.
