Let’s go step by step.
---
Question 1:
> ___ have two toes pointing upwards and two toes pointing downwards.
We are looking for a type of bird with this specific toe arrangement.
-
Perching birds (like sparrows or robins) usually have three toes forward, one back — that’s called anisodactyl. Not matching.
-
Preying birds (like eagles or hawks) often have strong talons, but their toes are typically all forward or arranged differently — not specifically two up, two down.
-
Climbing birds — like woodpeckers or parrots — often have
zygodactyl feet: two toes forward, two backward. This helps them grip tree trunks while climbing.
✔ So, the correct answer is
C. Climbing birds.

Question 2:
> Identify a preying bird.
“Preying bird” means a bird of prey — it hunts other animals for food.
Look at the options:
-
A. Sparrow – eats seeds and insects. Not a predator.
-
B. Parrot – eats fruits, nuts, seeds. Not a hunter.
-
C. Eagle – hunts fish, small mammals, even other birds. Has sharp talons and hooked beak. Classic bird of prey.
✔ So, the correct answer is
C. Eagle.
