Your reply must com­ply with all four require­ments, or it’s invalid.
I will pro­vide the chap­ter now.

EAGLE EYES
 
�            Like mam­mals, birds are warm-blood­ed, but they dif­fer in many
ways. Birds have feath­ers instead of fur and lay eggs instead of giv­ing
birth to ful­ly formed off­spring.
 
�       Birds are pop­u­lar pets, with more than 16 mil­lion Amer­i­cans own­ing
at least one. Para­keets, which include about 115 species, are usu­al­ly
the most pop­u­lar.
 
�            “Rap­tor” is the term used for birds of prey such as eagles, hawks,
fal­cons, con­dors, vul­tures, and owls. Rap­tors have strong talons and
beaks and excel­lent vision, which is where the term “eagle eyes”
comes from.
 
�       Alba­tross­es are adapt­ed to glide more than fly. Because of this, most
alba­tross species aren’t found in the equa­to­r­i­al regions where there’s a
lack of wind.
 
�            The famous car­toon char­ac­ter, the Road­run­ner, looks more like an
ostrich than a true road­run­ner. Road­run­ners typ­i­cal­ly mea­sure only
about two feet from head to tail.
 
�       Pen­guins are per­haps the best-known flight­less birds, but there are 60
species of birds that don’t fly. The largest groups are the ratite, which
includes ostrich­es, emus, and kiwis.
 
�            Poul­try refers to domes­tic birds kept for their meat and eggs.
Accord­ing to the USDA, poul­try is the sec­ond most-con­sumed meat
in the world at 33%.
 
�       A crew of crows is a “mur­der,” a group of owls is a “par­lia­ment,” a
bunch of doves is a “duke,” a gath­er­ing of pea­cocks is an
“osten­ta­tion.”
 
�       The small­est bird in the world is the bee hum­ming­bird at less than an
ounce and 2.2 inch­es long. The largest bird is the ostrich, weigh­ing as
much as 340 pounds and some­times more than nine feet in height.
 
�            The pas­sen­ger pigeon was hunt­ed to extinc­tion in North Amer­i­ca.
The last pas­sen­ger pigeon was a female named Martha, which died
Sep­tem­ber 1, 1914, at the Cincin­nati Zoo. 
 
�            The ancient Greeks asso­ci­at­ed owls with wis­dom and brav­ery. The
owl was one of the god­dess Athena’s sym­bols.
 
�       In the 1963 hor­ror film, The Birds, the res­i­dents of a small north­ern
Cal­i­for­nia town are sud­den­ly attacked by dif­fer­ent species of birds. A
com­bi­na­tion of real and mechan­i­cal birds was used.
 
�            Storks are the qui­etest of birds. The syrinx­es (the vocal organ of
birds) of storks are “vari­able degen­er­ate,” leav­ing them with the
abil­i­ty to make only min­i­mal vocal sounds.
 
�            In terms of evo­lu­tion, birds are direct­ly descend­ed from thero­pod
dinosaurs. Mod­ern birds’ clos­est liv­ing ances­tors are mem­bers of the
croc­o­dil­ian order.
 
�            The phoenix was a mytho­log­i­cal bird that was asso­ci­at­ed with the
Sun-God in Heliopo­lis, Egypt. The myths vary, but most held that the
phoenix would die and be reborn from its ash­es.
 
�            The archaeopteryx is a genus of birds, or bird-like dinosaurs, that
lived about 150 mil­lion years ago. Some sci­en­tists believe they
rep­re­sent the first true birds.
 
�            Flamin­gos are known for their dis­tinct pink col­or and the warm
cli­mates they inhab­it. But flamin­gos are also known for their unique
courtship rit­u­als and usu­al­ly mat­ing for life.
 
�            Corvus, bet­ter known as crows, are often ranked among the most
intel­li­gent ani­mals. Crows com­mu­ni­cate with each oth­er, can make
tools, and can rec­og­nize indi­vid­ual human faces.
 
�            The Andean con­dor is the largest fly­ing bird in the world, with
wingspans as wide as 10 feet and weigh­ing more than 30 pounds.
 
�            The Fenghuang was a myth­i­cal Chi­nese bird that had some
sim­i­lar­i­ties to the Egypt­ian Phoenix. The Fenghuang, though, is more
of a sym­bol of sta­bil­i­ty and the idea of yin and yang.
 
�       In the sum­mer of 1961, the town of Capi­to­la, Cal­i­for­nia was attacked
by a flock of sooty shear­wa­ter birds. Although no human fatal­i­ties
were record­ed, it served as par­tial inspi­ra­tion for the 1963 film, The
Birds.
 
�       Sex­u­al dimor­phism is com­mon in birds. In many species, such as the
pheas­ant, males are larg­er and more col­or­ful, although female rap­tors
tend to be larg­er than males.
