Fork+Birds


 * Question: Which fork bird is the most effective eater?**
 * Independent Variable: Types of fork birds**
 * Dependent Variable: The amount of different fork bord types**
 * Hypothesis: If I test the different types of fork birds then the most effective fork bird type would be 2-tine because the cheerios will fit in the tines.When you pick up the cheerios the 2-tine fork bird will grab more.**

 * DSET: My claim is that the forkbird with the 4-tined is the one with most efficient eater. When we were collecting the cheerios, it was the 4-tined that took the most. And if you look back at the bar graph there were at least 16-17 4-tined fork birds left and that was more then the other fork birds. The other tined fork birds had less than 15. The 2-tined fork birds had about 2 left and the 1-tined fork bird had only 3 left. The 4-tined fork bird got the most because it had more tines and it was easy to pick up. This is similar to a regular beak from a bird. If the beak is small, it will get less food or water. If the beak is big it will get more food to carry. According to the article "Freakish Bird Beaks Perplex Experts" they show different kind of birds and their beaks, they tell you what food they can grab. They also show you what birds have big beaks and small beaks. And from that article you can learn about the birds beaks and you'll be able to know which beak is the most efficient eater. In my opinion I think the fish eater is the most efficient bird because it can hold about 9 gallons of water.**


 * As a result of heavy rains, the major source of forkbird food is now blueberries. After many, many generations this new food source has been very bad for these forkbirds. The population is going down because the forkbirds not only need blueberries, they also need other types of food.**
