Scientific definitions for bird


Any of numerous warm-blooded, egg-laying vertebrate animals of the class Aves. Birds have wings for forelimbs, a body covered with feathers, a hard bill covering the jaw, and a four-chambered heart.

A Closer Look

It is generally believed that birds are descended from dinosaurs and probably evolved from them during the Jurassic Period. While most paleontologists believe that birds evolved from a small dinosaur called the theropod, which in turn evolved from the thecodont, a reptile from the Triassic Period, other paleontologists believe that birds and dinosaurs both evolved from the thecodont. There are some who even consider the bird to be an actual dinosaur. According to this view, the bird is an avian dinosaur, and the older dinosaur a nonavian dinosaur. Although there are variations of thought on the exact evolution of birds, the similarities between birds and dinosaurs are striking and undeniable. Small meat-eating dinosaurs and primitive birds share about twenty characteristics that neither group shares with any other kind of animal; these include tubular bones, the position of the pelvis, the shape of the shoulder blades, a wishbone-shaped collarbone, and the structure of the eggs. Dinosaurs had scales, and birds have modified scales-their feathers-and scaly feet. Some dinosaurs also may have had feathers; a recently discovered fossil of a small dinosaur indicates that it had a featherlike covering. In fact, some primitive fossil birds and small meat-eating dinosaurs are so similar that it is difficult to tell them apart based on their skeletons alone.

WHAT DOES BIRD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bird

Bird

Birds are feathered, winged, two-legged, warm-blooded, egg-laying vertebrates. Aves ranks as the tetrapod class with the most living species, approximately ten thousand. Extant birds belong to the subclass Neornithes, living worldwide and ranging in size from the 5 cm bee hummingbird to the 2.75 m ostrich. The fossil record indicates that birds emerged within the theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. Most researchers agree that modern-day birds are the only living members of the Dinosauria clade. 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. Extant 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 diverse endemic island species. Some species of birds, particularly penguins and members of the Anatidae family, are adapted to swim.

How to say bird — translation, names of popular birds

как по английски птица

›Learning a language› Vocabulary ›How to say in English› How to say a bird in English — examples of translation, names of different birds

We welcome visitors to our educational portal! On this site, we share with everyone who wants to know the English language and specifically today we will talk about how a bird will be in English in the singular and plural. In addition, we will talk about words that are close in meaning and, of course, we will give the English names of popular bird species with transcription and translation. Join the reading and expand your vocabulary with ease!

How to say bird and bird in English

Let’s start our lesson with an introduction to the most basic concepts. In Russian, we can designate any species of birds with the word «bird».

An analogue of this term in English will be the word bird [bɜːd], [byod], which allows you to indicate absolutely any bird. By the way, in the first case, the British transcription is given, but the Americans will pronounce this word as [bɜːrd], [bird].

To memorize, we will analyze several examples of sentences that we recommend reading out loud and at the same time working out the correct pronunciation of the word.

  • Look! There’s a bird in that tree. — Look! A bird sits on that tree.
  • The bird spread its white wings and flew away. The bird spread its white wings and flew away.
  • I wanted to catch the bird, but I found it too difficult. — I wanted to catch a bird, but I realized that it was too difficult.

Please note that the word bird in English will be the same in any Russian case, since in English there is no case system at all. In other words, the Russian words “bird”, “bird”, “bird” and even “bird” (in the genitive or accusative case) are summarized in one single English bird.

But this applies only to the singular, since the plural requires the use of another term. However, thanks to one popular game, many already know how birds will be in English.

But let’s not torment those who are not yet familiar with this word: in the plural, birds in English are birds [bɜːdz], [beyods], and, of course, we were talking about the game «Angry birds», «Angry beads».

  • We heard the birds sing. — We heard the birds sing.
  • You can’t live with the animals and birds at the hotel. — It is forbidden to check into the hotel with animals and birds.
  • I know nothing about the birds. “I don’t know anything about birds.

Likewise, English birds in one person replaces any Russian declension of the word “birds” in the plural.

And in conclusion, let us analyze one more related word — birdie [ˈbəːdi], [beedi]. As the soft sounding already suggests, this is the diminutive word for bird in English. For memorization, we will also analyze a couple of examples with this term.

  • The birdie landed on her shoulder. — The bird sat right on her shoulder.
  • Each birdie s to hear himself sing. — Each bird wants to hear its own song.

It should be noted that for all the beauty of the sound, the English people are still not very willing to use the word birdie. Much more often in the meaning of «bird», «birdie» you can hear the expression «a little bird».

  • She is a little bird who sings how she wants. — She is a bird who sings the way she wants.
  • It is a little bird sings and laughs in my heart. — It’s like a little bird sings and laughs in my heart.

Poultry farming, bird hunting

Well, we got acquainted with the most common meanings, now it’s time to pay more attention to details.

And in addition to the names of birds, which we will study a little later, we can highlight the breeding of birds on farms and factories, as well as hunting for birds and eating poultry meat. Both of these activities are characterized by the presence of specific «bird» terms.

If we talk about how poultry will be in English for domestic or industrial breeding, then the term poultry [ˈpəʊltri], [half three] should be used.

  • He rears rabbits and poultry in his own garden. — He breeds rabbits and birds in his garden.
  • Contaminants found in poultry will also be found in their eggs. — Harmful substances found in birds will also be found in their eggs.
  • Their poultry are kept in the yard. — They keep a poultry farm in the yard.

The English word fowl [faʊl], [fowl] has a similar meaning. The only difference is that in addition to poultry farming, it is also used in the context of eating poultry. Let’s look at a few examples so that the scope of this word does not raise any questions.

Birds in English — bird names in English with translation

как по английски птица

Not everyone will become bird watchers, but you need to know what the main birds are called in English. The names of some of them are borrowed, therefore they are consonant with the Russian language, for example, pelican — pelican.

It is impossible to watch without affection as these birds, lined up in a slender row of noiseless systems, fly along the surf line.

And what a whirlwind they arrange in places of accumulation of herring! It seems that the water boils from a strictly organized carousel of amazing birds diving into the water.

The names of others appeared in the English language earlier and show some specific trait of the bird. In this case, there is a direct translation, for example, mocking bird: a mockingbird or just a mockingbird. When immigrants to America first heard these birds, they thought that real devils lived in the surrounding forests.

Learning pronunciation

Generally, the word bird is included in the names of enough birds in English, for example, humming bird, hummingbird. If translated literally, it is a «buzzing bird.»

In fact, this tiny creature flaps its wings at such a speed that, being nearby, you can hear a characteristic buzz. In addition, like a bee, a hummingbird can hover in place and fly in reverse.

Most of all they have in common with these insects is that they feed on flower nectar, pumping it out with a long beak similar to a bee’s proboscis.

The bird in English has a rather difficult pronunciation that requires practicing. The transcription looks like this: [bɜːd]… The first sound is close to Russian b, the second is pronounced like ё in the word «lattice», and the third is pronounced loudly on the alveoli.

Place the tip of your tongue on the tubercles above your upper teeth (these are the alveoli) and say d. Now put everything together and you get the desired pronunciation.

To be sure, listen to this in the electronic version of the Oxford Dictionary and try to repeat everything correctly after the speaker.

The most common

Some birds are distributed almost all over the world, so their names must be learned first of all:

  • Eagle — eagle 
  • Swan — swan
  • Sparrow — sparrow
  • Magpie-magpie
  • Crow — crow 
  • Raven — raven
  • Pigeon — pigeon
  • Titmouse — tit 

I think that rarely will there be a day when we do not see or hear at least one of these birds. Most of them strive for closer to the person. There is such a belief that if storks settle in a village, it means that more children will be born in it. 

Poultry in English has the following names: duck — duck, chicken — hen, cock — cockerel, goose — goose, turkey — turkey… There are a few interesting points to list here:

1. Americans are most often called chicken — chicken

2. Word goose forms a plural unconventionally — geese;

3. If the word turkey write with a capital letter, you get the name of the country — Turkey (Turkey)

Duck, chicken and goose chicks have diminutive names: chick — chick (en), duckling — duckling, gosling — gosling.

We take into account habitats

The forest bird also «deserves» an English translation. Let’s start with the hogs:

  • Grouse — hazel hen
  • Quail — quail 
  • Black grouse — blackcock
  • Pheasant — pheasant 
  • Capercaillie — cock of the wood

And now other forest birds in English with translation:

  • Kingfisher — kingfisher (halcyon)
  • Wood pigeon — wood pigeon
  • Owl — owl 
  • Owl — eagle-owl
  • Jay — jay
  • Nightingale — nightingale

Many bird species live on lakes, rivers and swamps:

  • Kulik — snipe (now you understand where the word sniper came from?)
  • Merganser — merganser
  • Bittern — bittern
  • Heron — heron 
  • Crane — crane
  • Flamingo — flamingo 

The list will be incomplete without the inhabitants of the seas and oceans:

  • Seagull — seagull 
  • Cormorant — gannet
  • Dead end — sea-parrot
  • Albatross — albatross 
  • Frigate — frigate bird

There are birds at different ends that do not fly. Their wings are atrophied, but they run or swim perfectly. The main ones are:

  • Ostriches — ostriches
  • Penguins — penguins 
  • Kiwi — kiwis

A little exotic remains. Let’s remember the inhabitants of the jungle:

  • Toucan — toucan
  • Parrot — parrot 
  • Lyrebird — lyrebird
  • Hornbill — horn-bill 
  • Quetzal — quetzal
  • Bird of paradise — bird of paradise

We are for friendship with birds

It is impossible to list all the names of birds in English in this article — there are too many of them for that. Online tutorial Lim English invites you to memorize as many words as possible for birds from around the world. By doing this, you will contribute to the rescue of endangered species and the preservation of their habitats.

10 idioms about birds in English

We have already discussed the topic «Birds», but the bird theme is not limited only to names. In English, there are many idioms about birds, many have Russian-speaking counterparts, but the meaning may be slightly different.

: “10 idioms about cats in English”.

1. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush — Better a bird in the hands than a crane in the sky

Literally: a bird in the hand is better than two in the bushes.

The meaning of the idiom is the same as that of the Russian equivalent: it is better to be content with what you have than to look for something better, at the risk of losing everything. This idiom apparently comes from the Middle Ages. A bird in hand means a hunting falcon, which, and a bird in the bushes, means prey.

Be happy with what you have, after all a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush… — Be happy with what you have. Finally, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

2. To kill two birds with one stone — Kill two birds with one stone

Literally: kill two birds with one stone.

You want to drink and eat? Eat a watermelon, it’s both drink and food, you’ll kill two birds with one stone… — Do you want to drink and eat? Eat a watermelon, it’s both water and food, kill two birds with one stone.

3. A little bird told me — The magpie on the tail brought

Literally: a little bird told me.

Equivalent: “the magpie on the tail brought”, but usually it is more appropriate to say “rumors reached me” or “they told me here”, because the idiom about the magpie is not always stylistically appropriate.

Hey Jane! A little bird said me you’ve got a new boyfriend. — Hi Jane! I’ve heard rumorsthat you have a new boyfriend.

4. The early bird gets the worm — Whoever gets up early, God gives him

Literally: the early bird gets a worm.

One of the simple keys to success is to get up early, it is true that the early bird gets the worm… — One of the simple keys to success is getting up early. Is it true that who gets up early, God gives.

5. A bird’s-eye view — Bird’s eye view

Literally: the view through the eyes of a bird.

We took a trip in a helicopter to get a bird’s-eye view of the town below. — We took a helicopter ride to see the city from a bird’s eye view.

6. As the crow flies — Strictly in a straight line

Literally: like a crow flies.

The point of destination is four miles from here as the crow flies… — The destination is four miles from here — strictly in a straight line.

7. Birds of a feather, flock together — A fisherman sees a fisherman from afar

Literally: birds of the same color keep in one flock.

The analogue about fishermen is not entirely accurate, but rather close. It means that people with similar interests stick together and find a common language more easily.

All Harry’s friends love drinking beer and play videogames. I guess birds of a feather, flock together… — All of Harry’s friends love to drink beer and play computer. Presumably, stick together by interests.

8. To flip (someone) the bird — Show middle finger

Literally: throw out the bird.

He called me a fool and flipped the bird… — He called me a fool and showed the middle finger.

9. To chicken out (of doing something) — chicken out

Literally: «chick»

We were going to steal some apples, but Barny chickened out… — We were going to steal apples, but Barney chickened out.

10. As free as a bird — Free as a bird in flight

Literally: free as a bird.

The name of the birds in English in the table with translation

Hello dear readers. We continue to add new useful English words to our vocabulary. And today you will learn the names of birds in English so that you can feel comfortable and free in conversation with native speakers. Birds in English are a pretty broad topic, so we have dedicated a separate article to cover it.

Name of birds in English

To quickly and easily learn this vocabulary, you need to understand the principle according to which birds are named. Having studied in detail the etymological dictionary (the origin of words), I came to the conclusion that some birds are called based on what sounds they make, and others according to some characteristics: external or behavior. Considering these factors, the names of birds in English will be very easy to remember.

For example, the Russian name «crow» fully reflects its main feature — black, black color, but in English the word «crow» is onomatopoeic. Carriers, hearing croak — «croak-croak» began to call the bird «crow«. But tap dance, Russian-speaking, on the contrary, gave the name for the characteristic pronunciation «even-even-even», and English speakers call it «redpoll«For the characteristic plumage — a red crown.

But sometimes, the principle by which one or another bird was named is completely the same in both Russian and English. For example, «cuckoo» in Russian and «cuckoo«In English, are named so because of the obvious sound we hear -» cuckoo «. What about English «where«(Little turtledove) and our» pigeon «(darling) are clearly named so because of their miniature size.

Table «Birds in English» with translation

As you know, birds are domestic, giving a person meat and fluff, and wild, which we admire or listen to. When starting to learn the vocabulary on this topic, I advise you to start with domestic birds, as there are much fewer of them than wild birds. After you have learned all the domestic birds, you can move on to wild birds, also dividing them into several quantitative groups.

Birds in English

It is very important to immediately learn the correct pronunciation, so I have prepared for you not only a table with translation, but also a transcription. Of course, this table will not contain the entire English ornithological dictionary, but the most famous and common birds will be presented with a translation into Russian.

Recently, while in the forest, I realized that I do not know the names of many birds at all. Moreover, my friends also, in most cases, could not recognize them. Arriving home after a walk, I decided to «Google» the birds, and at the same time to compile an English-Russian dictionary on this topic.

Bird Studies in English — All About Learning English

Not everyone will become bird watchers, but you need to know what the main birds are called in English. The names of some of them are borrowed, therefore they are consonant with the Russian language, for example, pelican — pelican.

It is impossible to watch without affection as these birds, lined up in a slender row of noiseless systems, fly along the surf line.

And what a whirlwind they arrange in places of accumulation of herring! It seems that the water boils from a strictly organized carousel of amazing birds diving into the water.

The names of others appeared in the English language earlier and show some specific trait of the bird. In this case, there is a direct translation, for example, mocking bird: a mockingbird or just a mockingbird. When immigrants to America first heard these birds, they thought that real devils lived in the surrounding forests.

We are all to some extent dependent on our smaller brothers. These cute lumps of happiness bring us joy and lift our spirits. And although not all animals can be called cute, this makes their role in existence on planet Earth no less important. Animals in English — the base that all students go through when learning English. It takes a little effort to keep your vocabulary from running out of dogs and cats. C «mon!

In order to make it easier for you to learn the names of animals in English, we have divided them into types. For example: pets, farm animals, wild and exotic animals. In this article you will find lists of animals in English with transcription. We are sure that you did not even know about the existence of some of the list.

Farm animals

Those friends who benefit us in the household are our irreplaceable helpers and breadwinners. You may already be familiar with most of the words on the list, but words such as «lamb» and «kid» are less common. In English vocabulary, however, they will not be superfluous. Staying in a store abroad, now you definitely will not be at a loss, if, of course, you want such a meat.

But, what if you happen to visit a gorgeous safari in Africa? It is worth improving your wildlife vocabulary in order to fully understand your guide or even correct it.

With some animals, of course, you may never meet in real life, but broadening your horizons has not yet harmed anyone. By the way, if you are not in the know, it will be very useful to watch programs about wild animals in English. This way, you will tighten up your listening skills as well as expand your vocabulary.
