John Taylor –
Owls use a system similar to sonar to “see” in the dark but also have the ability to “hear” that sonar when they pick it up, other birds however don’t have hearing… They rely on sight, smell, taste, and feeling

I,m told that birds donot have ears and with exception of the owl, this appears to be true. If so, how do they hear?

Gail Greig-
Birds don’t urinate, nor do they truly have ‘feces.’
What they expel from their bodies is actually a mixture of both.
That’s why part of their droppings is liquidy, and the other part is denser and more compact. Unlike us, birds don’t have the immediate need to separate the two.

I have a cupole of friends who have a debate about birds and weather or not they urinate. Can you answer this question for me?

I never knew about the air sacs! What a unique anatomy these creatures have.

I have been seeing a very strange bird in the trees on my pond. It is black and has an elongated body. The neck is about 6 to 8 inches long, it’s body is long, about 6 to 8 inches of a tubular shape. I live in northwest arkansas. Does anyone know this species???
