Birds of a Feather Talk Together
44: House Wren, we also talk about The Archaeopteryx at the Field Museum
This week we talk about the house wren, but first we talk a little bit about the newest addition to the Field Museum: The Archaeopteryx. A fossil called Archaeopteryx, with feathers, hollow bones, clawed wings, fifty tiny teeth, and a long bony tail, is the earliest known dinosaur that also qualifies as a bird.
The Chicago Archaeopteryx has the most complete skull of any Archaeopteryx fossil in the world.
We then talk about the House Wren - it's a super fun episode that you'll enjoy. House Wren are so amazing, it was so much fun to learn all about them.
