1) How are bird bones different from the bones of other animals?
A
They are filled with special air that adds lift during flight.
B
They are dense, which allows the bird to gain more thrust when taking off.
C
There are fewer bones per square inch of body to allow them to fly more fluidly.
D
They are hollow and light with thin brackets running across them to strengthen them.
2) Where are a bird's flight muscles located?
A
In the wings of the bird.
B
In the chest or breast of the bird.
C
In the wings and tail of the bird.
D
In the neck and legs of the bird.
3) What does flapping do for a bird in flight?
A
It catches the thermal winds that will keep the bird in a nearly perpetual circular pattern.
B
It helps the bird produce the thrust needed to overcome drag and speed up, which provides lift.
C
It lets the bird search for food and migrate while saving energy.
D
It slows the bird down, which reduces lift, and allows the bird to land.
4) What is it called when a bird holds out its wings in a straight manner and sails through the air?
A
Undulating
B
Soaring
C
Flapping
D
Gliding
5) What is it called when a bird rides the waves of heat called thermals that lift it higher and higher in circles?
A
Gliding
B
Soaring
C
Undulating
D
Flapping
6) What does a bird use its tail for when flying?
A
Undulating
B
Flapping
C
Steering
D
Parachute landing
7) What is migration in birds?
A
The undulating pattern that birds use when flying in an up and down pattern (like a finch).
B
The process of moving from Mexico to the United States.

None of these answers is accurate.
B

9) What is the ability for a bird to reach its destination without getting lost called?
A
Migration instinct
B
Horning instinct
C
Honing instinct
D
Homing instinct
10) How does a bird find its when during migration?
A

B
Magnetic fields
C
All of these answers are accurate.
D
Landmarks
11) What do birds need to do before leaving for migration?
A
Sleep for extended periods to reserve energy for the flight.
B
Grow extra feathers to provide extra lift for the long migration.
C
Study the behavior of similar birds to determine in which direction to fly.
D
Eat lots of food and store up fat to be used for energy in flight.
12) What is the benefit of flying in formation during migration?
A
It is God's unique way of making the sky more beautiful to those watching from below.
B
It enables other birds migrating in the same direction to know which way to go.
C
There is no known reason for birds flying in formation.
D
It allows all the birds to conserve energy by sharing the duty of breaking the wind current.
13) Why do some birds fly in flocks?
A
There is safety in numbers.
B
They are less likely to get lost in a group.
C
There is no known reason.
D
They are communal or 'community-oriented' birds.

C
