Waterfowl, shorebirds, and gamebirds like duck, geese, rails,
pheasants, and quail are precocial birds. This means that
they hatch with a covering of downy feathers and their eyes open.
Almost as soon as they hatch they are ready to swim or walk. Many
of them are also able to feed themselves shortly after hatching. |

Songbirds like robins, finches, sparrow, swallows, and woodpeckers
are all altricial birds. This means they hatch completely
naked and with their eyes closed. In our area they are most often
tree cavity or nest dwellers. They depend completely on their
parents for protection, food, and warmth. As they develop they
learn to fly and feed themselves. |
