WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER. Promo The first bird domesticated by man is the goose. Flamingos, storks and other long-legged birds stand on one leg to stay warm. Thus, they alternately warm their paws in the warmth of their plumage. Hummingbirds are not only the smallest bird on Earth, but also the only bird in the world that can fly backwards. The largest bird on Earth is the African ostrich. Its height reaches 9 feet (2.7 meters), and its weight is 330 pounds (150 kg). Some extinct flightless bird species weighed up to 880 pounds (400 kg). The wandering albatross has the largest wingspan at over 10 feet (3 meters). And the extinct birds Pelagornis Sandersi had a wingspan of 23 feet (7 meters). These creatures were the largest flying birds in the entire history of planet. The lyrebird living in Australia has an extremely complex vocal apparatus. These creatures are able to imitate any sounds, including the howling of a chainsaw, human crying or the sound of a car engine. All sparrows in North America are descendants of a pair of these birds, released in Central Park in New York in the 19th century. In 1958, China launched an extensive campaign to eradicate sparrows as agricultural pests. 1.96 billion sparrows were exterminated. However, this fight has led to a massive spread of locusts and other insect pests. There was famine in the country. To restore the sparrow population, government had to purchase and import live sparrows from the USSR and Canada to China. We know all these amazing facts thanks to people interested in ornithology - the science of birds. And tomorrow you will meet one of them!
