Peacock
Intelligent- Peacocks are highly intelligent creatures. They have various behavior techniques and mating specifications that show how they are exceptional birds. Female peacocks carefully choose their mate according to size, color, and quality of their colorful feathers. Likewise, my peers say that I am an intelligent individual because of my grasp on learning, hard work, and dedication. I have a good memory and once I learn something, I learn how to apply it. Furthermore, I choose my “mate” based on certain qualities as well.

Confident- The colorful tail of feathers is fanned out in order to show dominance and to attract a mate. Peacocks are known to be “proud” birds. I am a very confident individual; I take pride in my actions and in myself without being ashamed. I am not afraid of how I look. I never doubt myself and I stand tall among my peers because I am not afraid of anything or anyone.

Colorful- Known for its colorful features, the peacock is known to be a very beautiful bird. From black to blue to green to yellow, peacocks have a myriad of colors that make them unique from all other birds. Their colorfulness attracts the attention of a prospective mate. Similarly, I find myself to be a very unique individual that stands out among my peers. I also believe that I have a colorful personality.

Sociable/Dependent- Peacocks are very sociable animals; they join together to form a group called a “party”. They tend to travel, hunt, and mate together and require companionship. Likewise, I am a very sociable person. I like interacting with others and making new friends. However, I tend to stick to a certain group of friends that I always hang out with. I am very dependent upon my family and my friends as well.

Origin- The peacock is a native bird to India; it is also considered as the national bird of Indian. I, coincidentally, am of Indian descent.

    Have you ever had a second thought of what is going on inside the brains of Crows and Ravens? You probably associate these animals with words such as pests, annoying or even filthy, but that's not necessarily true. Everyday we infer things by making predictions or assumptions based on clues and our judgements. This can be done by searching for clues such as actions, attitude, tone, or body language. These examples are used to help the reader comprehend the author's attitude towards their subject. Terry Krautwurst, author of “Brain Birds: Amazing Crows and Ravens” and David Shaw author of “A Soft Spot for Crows”, both display a positive attitude towards crows and ravens by using complementary language and focusing on the intellectual abilities…

    We will never know whether birds see or recognize colors in the same way that humans do. Still, we can make an educated guess. Male birds tend to have beautiful, colorful feathers, making them attractive to female birds. Based on this observation, there is good reason to believe that birds are able to perceive colors.…

    Sexual selection can be used to explain certain characteristics or behaviours which increase an individual’s reproductive success. These characteristics may get exaggerated over evolutionary time. In humans, these characteristics may include good physical and mental health, as well as physical features such as good looks etc. these characteristics are attractive because they show an ability to reproduce and pass on these genes to offspring. There are two types of sexual selection, intrasexual and intersexual. Intrasexual selection is the evolution of characteristics that enable an individual to compete with their rivals whereas intersexual selection is the evolution of characteristics that are attractive to a mate. An example of this would be a peacock’s tail. The peacock with the ‘best’ tail (longest and brightest etc.) is considered to be more attractive to the peahen and therefore he is more likely to reproduce and pass on his genes to the next generation. Buss, 1989, found evidence to support this. Over 10000 participants across 37 different cultures took part in his study on differences in intersexual selection. Questionnaires were given to the participants, asking about preferences for variables such as marriage, age differences, characteristics etc. He found that women valued qualities such as ambition and industriousness in men – qualities showing their financial potential. He also found that men valued youth and physical attractiveness more highly than women. This suggests that males look for qualities associated with fertility in line with evolutionary predictions. He concluded that women have evolved to select mates who can provide resources for themselves and their offspring. Buss’ study had over 10000 participants and therefore has credibility, however the participants may have not given a truthful answer and instead given one they thought would appear more…

    American Flamingo

    • 954 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Who ever thought there could be so much emotion and so many qualities in a flamingo? After reading this poem author Pape expresses his feelings and the beauty in a flamingo by using analogies describing the features and the distinct details to such a simple bird. The first sentence in this poem is one of the most important. The first sentence says “I know he shot them to know them.” (line 1) This may seem like a very simple statement, but Greg Pape makes it very bold and is able to express himself off this sentence, by saying he now knows and understands why Audubon had the passion he did for flamingos. In Greg Pape’s poem “American Flamingo” he captures John James Audubon’s passionate view of the American flamingo. John James Audubon was an American ornithologist, outstanding artist and author of “Birds of America” (560). In the long history of writing, poetry has held a very special meaning for a human and to allow them to express all of their emotions. The poem “American Flamingo” combines the mysterious symbols of nature with the inexact emotional language. “American Flamingo” takes looking at the painting to another level.…
