A bird trivia game featuring bird trivia questions
We are bird watchers in our family.
Some are more serious and consult guidebooks while peering through binoculars, while my immediate family simply enjoys the sights and sounds of birds flitting about the fields and trees surrounding our home.
Wherever you fall on the bird watching spectrum, surely you have some knowledge of our feathered friends and I'm assuming since you are here you might like to learn more. I hope you enjoy this fun bird trivia quiz as you challenge yourself with our bird trivia questions and answers. Remember, there is no such thing as useless trivia knowledge.
And some more thoughts about birds:
"I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes."
~ Charles Lindbergh
"Birds are a miracle because they prove to us there is a finer, simpler state of being which we may strive to attain."
~ Doug Coupland
"The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings"
~ James Matthew Barrie

Both, actually; I have lovely little canaries who live in a cage but fly round my house regularly and sit on my plants; and I love seeing my garden full of birds, so I keep my garden bird friendly.

For The Birds - Part Two
- The Great Bustard is the heaviest flying bird. They can weigh up to 40 pounds!
- There are several names for a group of ducks including: Brace, Flock, and Team. You can have a Skein of geese, by the way.
- For some reason, baby turtles are called chickens, while baby chickens are called chicks! Baby ducks are ducklings, baby partridges are called cheepers, and baby penguins fledglings.
- Birds have three eyelids. They have an upper lid resembling that of humans, a lower lid that closes when a bird sleeps, and a third lid, called a nictitating membrane, that sweeps across the eye sideways, starting from the side near the beak. This lid is a thin, translucent fold of skin that moistens and cleans the eye and protects it from wind and bright light.
- Birds need very little sleep. Many seabirds, in particular, sleep very little. For example, the sooty tern, which rarely lands on water, may fly for several years with only brief periods of sleep lasting a few seconds each. Flying is so effortless for the sooty tern and some other seabirds that it takes virtually no energy at all.

The Sibley Guide to Birds
More than 10 years in the making, David Sibley's Guide to Birds is a monumental achievement. The beautiful watercolor illustrations (6,600, covering 810 species in North America) and clear, descriptive text place Sibley and his work squarely in the tradition of John James Audubon and Roger Tory Peterson; more than a birdwatcher and evangelizer, he is one of the foremost bird painters and authorities in the U.S.

For The Birds - Part Three
- The bowerbirds of Australia and New Guinea got their name from the males building bowers for shelter, which they decorate with colorful objects such as flower petals, feathers, fruit, and even human-made items such as ribbons and tinfoil, to attract the females during courtship.
- Check out these collective names for birds: A wedge of swans, A nest of pheasants, An ostentation of peacocks, and An exaltation of larks
- Seabirds have the longest migration patterns. These trips can be as long as 20,000 miles. That's further than many humans travel in their lifetime!
- There are 10,000 known species of birds, including all modern or recently extinct species.
- Birds breathe faster than any other animal. This is needed to sustain the high metabolism necessary for flight. For example, a flying pigeon breathes 450 times each minute, whereas a human, when running, might breathe only about 30 times each minute.
- Check out these collective names for birds: A charm of goldfinches, A cast of hawks, and A watch of nightingales. You can have either a bevy or a covey of quail, but not a clowder. You can however have a clowder of cats!
The Curious Book Of Birds
There are many books written nowadays which will tell you about birds as folk of the twentieth century see them. They describe carefully the singer's house, his habits, the number of his little wife's eggs, and the color of every tiny feather on her pretty wings. But these books tell you nothing at all about bird-history; about what birds have meant to all the generations of men, women, and children since the world began. You would think, to read the words of the bird-book men, that they were the very first folk to see any bird, and that what they think they have seen is the only matter worth the knowing.
And so begins "The Curious Book Of Birds"...
