Listening Practice 3

Welcome to the National Zoo. Today, we are going to be looking at birds. There are over a thousand different kinds of birds, and they are all very different. Now, before we go and see them, I would like to tell you something interesting: not all birds can fly. Even though all birds have wings, there are some that cannot fly. Ostriches, emus, and penguins are some examples of birds that cannot fly. The differences between non-flying birds and flying birds are that non-flying birds have small wing bones and more feathers on their wings. Another interesting thing is that although these birds cannot fly, they have other abilities like swimming and sprinting. Now, let’s go and see the emus and penguins. Get in a line, please.
