This is my wildlife report for school


Fantail are wonderful birds.They fly fluently in the breeze, while the sun splays above them with the clouds and the sound of chirping follows.

Fantail are a type of brownish grey colour. They are 16cm long and they have a fan shaped tail, that's why they are called the fantail. They are very talented birds. When they fly it looks like a paper fan is in the sky with a broken core so the feathers are flapping wildly in the breeze. It's unimaginable.

Fantail live in forest edges, parks and gardens. That means they are widespread. You can see them about anywhere but they do have special places where they make their nests.

Fantail lay 5-2 eggs every season. So, everyday the parents have to go out get food for their young ones, Come home put the babies to sleep and feed themselves. That is a lot of work to do in one day.

Fantail have a special diet. They are not like the normal birds that feed on worms. They eat;
Fruit, insects, berries and small food like that.

You would expect fantail to live for more than 4 years right? Well no. They only live up to 3 years! I mean that is a very small life right? imagine if you could only live up to three years! That would be a really small life.

Wow! Who knew that fantail are only 16cm long, they have a small diet, they dont live very long, they have 5-2 eggs every season and they are widspread! So, in conclusion, they are wonderful birds.
