Birds belong to the class of Aves, warm-blooded, egg-laying, feathered vertebrates with forelimbs modified to form wings. Ornithology (Gk. ornis = bird + logos = word), a branch of zoology, is concerned with the scientific study of birds. Birds are very important to humans: wild and domesticated fowl provide meat, eggs and feathers; falcons have been trained for hunting, cormorants for fishing, and homing pigeons were used for quick communication.
Bird images and characteristics are present in world mythologies and traditions - Noah understood the great flood was over when a dove returned with an olive branch, the owl is associated with wisdom, and the phoenix is a legendary bird symbolic of immortality and resurrection.

Tropical Birds Poster
The "tropics" is the region circling the planet Earth that is centered on the equator and limited by the the lines of latitude called the Tropic of Cancer (23°27'N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23°27'S). The tropics experience little seasonal change and climate is characterized by high temperatures, humidity, and rainfall, though the Andes Mountains and the Sahara Desert both lay in the tropic zone and have the extremes of cold, hot and dry.
