Bird Life Cycles

For ages 6-12. Although there are over 9,000 species of birds in the world, each develops from a single-celled egg, is incubated, hatches, and grows to adulthood. Some bird life cycles involve migration. The book focuses on the various stages and explains: differences in the length of time birds incubate their eggs and care for their young; the development of a chicken embryo and how a chick hatches; dangers to nesting habitats, the effects of pollution, and how these affect the life cycle of birds.

"All birds lay eggs, but the size, shape, and colors are very different. Do these differences change the bird life cycle? Readers learn about the general life cycle of a bird from when the egg is laid to the different life-spans of various types of birds. Written specifically for students in need of review or extra help, this book gives a concise overview of a topic commonly included in science curricula. Alongside the main content's simple explanations, colorful diagrams provide readers another way to learn about bird life cycles."

A child watches a female cardinal building a nest in his backyard and decides to record what happens to the cardinal family in her diary. Readers will follow along as the young narrator observes the birds’ behavior up close, including the mother bird brooding her eggs, the chicks peeking from the nest for the first time, and the parent birds feeding and fledging their young. All the details of the birds’ lives are explored up to the time when the juvenile birds are ready to leave home. Large photos, diagrams, and clear, age-appropriate text will engage young readers as they explore the life cycle, natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these colorful birds. The diary format models scientific observation and critical thinking—and encourages children to keep notebooks recording their own investigations into the natural world.
