10 TYPES OF BIRDS

CRISTHIAN MADRID
CEDAR WAXWING BIRD
The cedar waxwing is a medium-sized songbird with a sleek, crested head and a
short, wide bill. It is named for its wax-like wing tips, which are actually small, red
droplets of keratin that are thought to be used for display or to help the bird catch
insects.

BALTIMORE ORIOLE
The Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) is a small, bright orange and black bird that
is common in eastern North America. It is a member of the Icteridae family,
which also includes blackbirds and cowbirds.
CHIPPING SPARROW
The Chipping Sparrow is a small, common songbird found across most of North
America. It is a member of the sparrow family and is named for its characteristic
"chip" call. Chipping Sparrows are typically 5 inches long and weigh about 0.4
ounces. They have a brown back, a white breast, and a reddish-brown cap.

BROWN-HEADED COWBIRD
The brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater) is a small, stocky blackbird with a
fascinating approach to raising its young. Females forgo building nests and
instead put all their energy into producing eggs, sometimes more than three
dozen a summer. They lay their eggs in the nests of other bird species, who then
raise the young cowbirds.
ROBIN
The robin is a small, plump passerine bird with a distinctive reddish-orange
breast and a cheerful, melodious song. It is a common sight in gardens and
woodlands throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. There are two main
species of robin: the European robin (Erithacus rubecula) and the American
robin (Turdus migratorius).

common in North America, where they are found in a variety of habitats,
including open fields, woodlands, and urban areas.

North America. It is one of the most common and widely distributed birds in
