Question

Explain the types of claws in the following birds?
a. Scratching birds.
b. Water birds​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:(a)Bird's naturally scratch themselves as a way to remove dust and dirt from their 1000's of feathers. Your bird instinctively needs each of its feathers to be clean and aligned in preparation for flight. That's why a healthy bird can be observed preening its feathers throughout the day.

(b)The term water bird, alternatively, waterbird or aquatic bird (not to be confused with wading birds) is used to refer to birds that live on or around water. In some definitions, the term is especially applied to birds in freshwater habitats, though others make no distinction from birds that inhabit marine environments.[1] Also, some water birds are more terrestrial or aquatic than others, and their adaptations will vary depending on their environment. These adaptations include webbed feet, bills, and legs adapted to feed in the water, and the ability to dive from the surface or the air to catch prey in water.

Answer 2

Answer: Swimming birds have webbed feet. The claws of preying birds are called talons.
