called, "perching birds," most of which are songbirds. They live virtually everywhere in the world, except for Antarctica, and also vary greatly in size but are generally relatively small (i.e. much smaller the size of a Bald Eagle).

Introduction Understanding the natural history of declining species is imperative to find vulnerable life history stages and behavioral specificities that can prevent the slippery slope which leads to a threatened and endangered status. Species specific behavior is often overlooked, but has been a major cause leading to the extinction of species across taxa (Reed 1999). Incorporating behavior specifics into management plans and population models is imperative to species success. Important

unique as each individual. With there being millions of different organisms on one planet, this creates millions of different ways to attract the opposite sex to procreate a long lasting bloodline. The vertebrate orders anurans (frogs and toads) and passerine (songbirds) though completely different are both extensively studied, as they are exemplary on how individualistic mating
