All flying birds are subject to the strict laws of aerodynamics and the physical  demands of flight and yet they adorn the earth with such vivid variety!

Birds, and their powers of flight, have fascinated us since the beginning. Perhaps we can thank birds for inspiring us onward into the realms of flight resulting in the present age of routine air transportation.

Pictured are species showing some of the variations of color, form and function expressed within the common theme of flight. Included are Solomon Island eclectus, Moluccan cockatoo, yellow naped Amazon, Gouldian finch. and a red factor canary.

As mentioned in the home page, this site recognizes the need for both science and religion in the affairs of our lives. My personal experience has been with the growing science of aviculture, that is, the keeping and breeding of exotic birds in captivity.

Archeological evidence supports birds being closely allied with dinosaurs.
