Birding for boys, or Do birds fart?
by
This question was asked of a teacher by (who else) a ten year old boy. Little did he know that it would be posted to a national birding e-list. Much discussion ensued. Of course, any animal which eats generates gas and this gas must go somewhere. So while birds possess a relatively short intestinal tract, thus producing a smaller amount of gas, they do produce some. And it is expelled through the normal means.
For a few more interesting facts about our feathered friends, take a peep at The Feeder.
