By Federico Cobos , Federico Barreto , Fernanda Mazariegos , María José Páez
Birds are interesting because there a lot of species with different characteristics and each one finds different ways to live and survive . We find interesting how their body parts are and how they work . Our group wants to do this experiment because we want to know what food they prefer to eat so one day we know what food to give them if we want to feed them . This project is important because we can learn more about birds and their preference on food and more .
This experiment is to know what birds like to eat between seeds and crashed cookies and that ’ s why they are in our bird feeder but we also want to know which one they prefer the most . We want to work with this variable because first of all there are some birds that can ’ t find food that easily so we are giving them the opportunity to have food . We want to find out what birds like eating so we can learn more about this extraordinary animal .

Question : What do birds prefer to eat , crushed cookies or Linaza seeds ?
Hypothesis :
If we put crushed cookies and Linaza seeds in our bird feeder , then birds will eat more crushed cookies than seeds because they find it tastier and maybe the color attracts them more than the seeds color .
Data Analysis and Conclusions
Experiment Design and Procedure
1 . We planned our variable which was the type of food we were going to give birds ( crushed cookies and linaza seeds .
2 . We built our feeder ( with recycled material ) and put a stick in the middle to divide the food . We also put sticks around the feeder so the food wouldn ’ t fall .
3 . The measurement of food inside ( 70 grams each side )
