Two (2) bird species are indigenous to Aruba.Specifically, Aruba offers countless opportunities for birdwatching because of the large numbers of birds attracted to the island's bird sanctuaries and nature preserve. The latter in fact is home to the island's two indigenous bird species. One native Aruban bird is the beloved Aruban burrowing owl (Athenecunicularia arubensis) that Arubans call shoco. The other is the beloved Aruban parakeet (Aratinga pertinax arubensis) that Arubans call prikichi.

There are approximately 10,000 species of birds in the world. In Southeast Asia, there are over 2,000 species of birds, making it a region with high avian biodiversity.
Waterfowl, Birds of Prey, Perching, and Flightless Birds
The two birds that Karana kept in the book "Island of the Blue Dolphins" were named Tutok and Mon-a-nee. These birds provided companionship and comfort to Karana during her time alone on the island.
There are 2 speciesThe two species are:Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus (Asiatic)Green Peafowl, Pavo muticus (Asiatic)
2 Migratory birds are left.
Kelleys Island, in Lake Erie (Ohio) is a fully developed island just 2 x 3 miles in size. Approximately 1/4 of the island has been quarried and supports little or no wildlife. There is not a very large wildlife population. We have deer, raccoons, foxes, brown/red squirrels, rabbits and coyotes. We are on the migratory flyway for birds and our Audubon chapter logs in thousands of birds each year in the bird census. There are also several rare and endangered species on the island including some salamanders and snakes including the fox snake and the Lake Erie Water Snake. More information on animals species in Ohio can be found at the website for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Birds (class Aves or clade Avialae) are feathered, winged, bipedal, endothermic (warm-blooded), egg-laying, vertebrate animals. With around 10,000 living species, they are the most speciose class of tetrapod vertebrates. All present species belong to the subclass Neornithes, and inhabit ecosystems across the globe, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Extant birds range in size from the 5 cm (2 in) Bee Hummingbird to the 2.75 m (9 ft) Ostrich. The fossil record indicates that birds emerged within theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. Birds are the only members of the clade originating with the earliest dinosaurs to have survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. Modern birds are characterised by feathers, a beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a lightweight but strong skeleton. All living species of birds have wings; the most recent species without wings was the moa, which is generally considered to have become extinct in the 16th century. Wings are evolved forelimbs, and most bird species can fly. Flightless birds include ratites, penguins, and a number of diverse endemic island species. Birds also have unique digestive and respiratory systems that are highly adapted for flight. Some birds, especially corvids and parrots, are among the most intelligent animal species; a number of bird species have been observed manufacturing and using tools, and many social species exhibit cultural transmission of knowledge across generations.
The number of baby birds a species has at one time varies, with some birds like ducks and geese having large clutches of 6-12 eggs, while others like hawks and owls typically have smaller broods of 2-4 chicks. Each species has its own reproductive strategy based on factors like food availability and predation risk.
