Penguin here.

Have you guys ever heard of a kiwi? I don’t mean a kiwifruit, I mean a kiwi bird! In fact, the fruit is named after the bird! Isn’t that neat? Kiwis are flightless birds native to New Zealand. You should check out the article about them here at Kiwi Web: Chemistry and New Zealand. According to the article, kiwi birds lay eggs that are very large compared to the female. In fact, their egg size to female size ratio is greater than for any other bird. I have one other tidbit to add about kiwis on my end: they’re super goofy and adorable!

Hawks are very intimidating birds, and they apparently have extremely good vision, but like all animals they must have babies! I wanted to see what a baby/adolescent hawk looked like, and it turned out rather adorable. Unlike a lot of animals, however, you can see their adult traits even in their baby form. The eyes on this little guy look extremely sharp and alert, and he still has an air of intimidation about him, but he also has a typical baby cuteness to him as well! Notice how much chubbier he is than an adult hawk, and how soft his feathers look!

I love peacocks. Adult males are always so pretty and majestic and they really are inspiring creatures. Of course, wherever there’s an adult there is bound to be a baby, and babies are generally very cute, so I looked for a nice photo of a baby peacock and found a great one on Deviant Art. You can check out more photography by the Deviant Art user Lemonpost through the link at the bottom of this post. She does a lot of pics of cute animals like this.

Anyway, check the pic out! Make sure to take note of the relative size of the peacock compared to the fence he’s standing next to. That is a tiny little guy, especially considering how large and majestic the adult version of this bird is.
