But hunting and habitat destruction steered the birds to extinction. The world's last passenger pigeon Martha died in 1914 at the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio.

Scientists could then breed these birds and select for specific traits as a dog breeder might.

For example the passenger pigeon was a very social bird known to form flocks of millions. When their numbers dwindled to a few thousand the birds stopped breeding Ehrenfeld told Livescience.

De-extinction methods would produce just a handful of birds so who's to say they would reproduce?

he said. What's more the pigeons that raised them would be a different species with differing mothering techniques.

If it hadn t been for birds I doubt if anyone would have thought even that it might be possible for something heavier than air to get airborne.

Nilton Renno a professor at the University of Michigan and an atmospheric convection expert believes Michaud's calculations assume that AVES cover the entire surface area of Earth.

While the theory behind AVES is solid scaling them up to the size AVETEC requires could go awry Renno says.

He believes that his AVES have the potential to be a major electrical energy producer and one that will be cost-effective.

Building AVES will reduce our reliance on fossil fuels he says and that will reduce emissions in turn.

But what we discovered was flapping-wing birds and insects are suited perfectly for environments where you have dynamic obstructions he trees are moving the branches are moving.

The birds are also much easier to maintain and study in laboratories than other vocal animals like apes.

The bird is now found only in restricted areas of five states in the southern Great plains:

Nesting hens will avoid nesting near humanmade structures and disturbances in habitat from roads to buildings to the conversion of native grasslands to cropland.

if you have a good year for reproduction enough new birds enter the population and have a survival rate that carries them through three

For seeds and fruit in particular bright color is thought to have evolved to attract the agents of seed dispersal especially birds.

Deceived birds eat the fruit and ultimately release its seeds over a wide geographic area. The fruit of this bastard hogberry plant was scientifically delightful to pick says principal investigator Peter Vukusic Associate professor in Natural Photonics at the University of Exeter.

#Technology tracks the elusive Nightjarbioacoustic recorders could provide us with vital additional information to help us protect rare and endangered birds such as the European nightjar new research has shown.

The study led by Newcastle University found that newly developed remote survey techniques were twice as effective at detecting rare birds as conventional survey methods.

and dusk when the birds are most active the team found a 217%increased detection rate of the nightjar over those carried out by specialist ornithologists.

and protect rare birds. The results of this research will help conservationists monitor endangered species more effectively explains Mieke who carried out the research as part of her Phd supported by Baker Consultants Ltd

Using bioacoustics techniques we can more accurately build up a picture of where these birds are population numbers movement and behaviour.

The nightjar--Caprimulgus europaeus--is a migratory species protected under the Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC) and in the UK by the classification of Special Protection Areas (SPAS.

Traditional bird survey methods involve specialist ornithologists conducting field surveys to identify and count the birds they encounter.

But these are time-consuming must be performed by experts and could be inaccurate when surveying species that are difficult to detect.

and could be applied to a wide range of species to give more accurate objective data on bird numbers and distribution.
