This is an excellent activity for students to express their creative thoughts about adaptations in birds. Adaptations can be a hard concept for students to understand, but in birds it’s very easy to see the different styles of beaks and feet and how they perform a specific function. This activity would best be done after learning about the adaptations so they have confidence to design their own bird. A sheet is also attached with some suggested websites to assist this activity. This song teaches about the basic ecology and adaptations of birds of prey,all to a memorable sing-along tune.
Lyrics:
Their name comes from a latin word
Describes a dinosaur and a bird
It means «to grab» that’s what I heard
A big ol’ Raptor Bird
Raptor Bird Raptor Bird it’s a big ol’ Raptor Bird
They have big eyes to see what they eat
They swoop right down and grab it with their feet
and rip it up with their curved, hooked beak
a big ol’ Raptor Bird
