Autumn begins There are two different dates when autumn could be said to begin. Autumn, as defined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun, begins on the equinox which falls on 22 or 23 September. However, to record climate data, it is important to have set dates that can be compared, so meteorological autumn always begins on 1 September. 2. Trees prepare for winter One of the most stunning signs of autumn is the turning of the leaves. The shorter days are a sign to trees to begin to prepare for winter. During winter there is not enough light for photosynthesis to occur, so as the days shorten throughout autumn, the trees begin to close down their food production systems and reduce the amount of chlorophyll in their leaves. 3. The chemistry of colour Chlorophyll is the chemical which makes tree leaves green and as it declines other chemicals become more prominent in the leaves. These are responsible for the vibrant ambers, reds and yellows of autumn. The chemicals responsible are types of flavonoids, carotenoids and anthocyanins. Did you know some of these chemicals are the same ones that give carrots (beta-carotenes) and egg yolks (luteins) their colours? 4. People born in Autumn live longer A study in the Journal of Aging Research found that babies born during the autumn months are more likely to live to 100 than those born during the rest of the year. Their study found that 30 % of US centenarians born during 1880-1895 were born in the autumn months. 5. The days get shorter The word equinox comes from the Latin equi (meaning equal) and nox (meaning night) accounting for the equinox marking the time when day and night are of equal length. We often notice the nights begin to draw in from this point as after the autumn equinox, the nights are longer than the days, until this is reversed at the spring equinox. 6. A date for your diary - 24 September 2303 Generally speaking, the autumn equinox always falls on either 22 or 23 September, but not quite always. Because the Gregorian calendar is not quite in perfect symmetry with the Earth's orbit, the autumn equinox will very occasionally fall on September 24. This last happened in 1931 and will next happen in 2303. 7. Persephone's return In Greek mythology, autumn began when Persephone was abducted by Hades to be the Queen of the Underworld. In distress Persephone's mother, Demeter (the goddess of the harvest), caused all the crops on Earth to die until her daughter was allowed to return, marking spring. 8. Autumn and Fall We typically think of 'fall' as the North American version of the word 'autumn', but it was in fact in widespread usage in England until relatively recently. Originally a shortening of the phrase fall of the leaf, the phrase was common in England in the 17th century. The word autumn entered English from the French automne and didn't become common usage until the 18th century. Enjoy your set and be happy! Made by AuroraArtStory Create your story with us!

From brilliantly colored hummingbirds to farting thrushes, birds are among the most beautiful and bizarre creatures on Earth. With over 9000 species, our fine feathered friends inhabit almost every inch of the planet, making their homes in the frozen expanses of Antarctica, the humid rainforests of South America, and every climate in between. Here are 15 amazing facts you might not know about 15 amazing bird species. 1. RAVENS ARE GREAT AT MIMICKING HUMAN SPEECH AND SOUNDS. While ravens in the wild are unlikely to pick up human language, in captivity they can become quite talkative. Some ravens are even better than parrots at mimicking human speech, not to mention sounds from the human world like car engines revving or toilets flushing. In the wild, meanwhile, ravens sometimes imitate other animals, mimicking predators like wolves or foxes to attract them to tasty carcasses they're unable to break open on their own. 2. OSTRICHES HAVE THE LARGEST EYES OF ANY LAND ANIMAL. Ostrich eyes are the largest of any animal that lives on land (though they can't rival some of the massive creatures that inhabit the depths of the sea). Approximately the size of a billiard ball, their eyes are actually bigger than their brains. 3. CARDINALS LIKE TO COVER THEMSELVES IN ANTS. Cardinals (along with several other bird species) sometimes cover themselves in crushed or living ants, smearing them over their feathers, or allowing living ants to crawl on them. While scientists still aren't sure what the purpose of "anting" is, some believe the birds use the formic acid secreted during their ant bath to help get rid of lice and other parasites. 4. OWLS DEVOUR THEIR PREY WHOLE. When owls catch larger animals (raccoons and rabbits, for instance), they tear them up into more manageable, bite-size pieces. But, they've also been known to simply swallow smaller animals, from insects to mice, whole. Owls then regurgitate pellets full of indigestible elements of their meal like animal bones and fur. 5. SOME DUCKS SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN. When they nap in groups, the ducks on the perimeter keep guard by sleeping with one eye open. While the other ducks sleep more deeply, those on the outside of the circle also keep one side of their brain awake, even as they doze, so that predators won’t be able to sneak up on them. 6. KIWIS ARE SOMETIMES CALLED "HONORARY MAMMALS." Native to New Zealand, kiwis are a bizarre, land-bound bird. Scientists, so mystified by the kiwi's strange properties—which include feathers that feel like hair, heavy bones filled with marrow, and nostrils on the tip of their nose (rather than on the base of their beak like most birds)—have sometimes called them "honorary mammals." 7. MOST HUMMINGBIRDS WEIGH LESS THAN A NICKEL. Hummingbirds are incredibly lightweight. The average hummingbird is around 4 grams (one gram less than a nickel), while the smallest, the bee hummingbird, is closer to 1.6 grams, less than the weight of a penny. The largest member of the hummingbird family, meanwhile, is the aptly named giant hummingbird, which can get up to 24 grams—enormous for a hummingbird, but only equivalent to about a handful of loose change. 8. IN ANCIENT GREECE, PIGEONS DELIVERED THE RESULTS OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES. Believed to be the first domesticated bird, pigeons were used for millennia to deliver messages, including important military information, and the outcome of the early Olympic games. Though non-avian mail delivery has become more popular over time, pigeons were used as recently as World War II to carry select messages. 9. PARROTS CAN LEARN TO SAY HUNDREDS OF WORDS. While most parrots only learn around 50 words, some African grey parrots have been known to learn hundreds. Einstein, a brilliant African grey parrot at the Knoxville Zoo in Tennessee, can say around 200 words. 10. SWIFTLET NESTS ARE A DELICACY. Some swiftlets, appropriately named Edible-nest swiftlets, build nests almost exclusively from their hardened saliva. The saliva nests are considered a delicacy in some countries—in China, they are most frequently used to make bird’s nest soup—and are one of the most expensive foods in the world, despite having little flavor and no real nutritional value. 11. BASSIAN THRUSHES FIND FOOD BY FARTING. Worm-eating Bassian thrushes have been known to dislodge their prey from piles of leaves by directing their farts at them. The excretion of gas shifts the leaf-litter on the ground and apparently provokes worms to move around, revealing their location. 12. WOODPECKERS HOARD ACORNS. Acorn woodpeckers store acorns by drilling holes in trees, fence posts, utility poles, and buildings, and depositing their nuts there. They have been known to store up to 50,000 acorns—each in its own tiny hole—in a single tree, called a "granary tree." 13. THE UNIQUE BLACK AND WHITE COLORING OF PENGUINS WORKS AS CAMOFLAGE. While penguins might stand out on land, underwater their black and white coloring helps them stay hidden from both predators and prey. As they swim, their black backs blend in with the darker ocean water below them so that they're difficult to spot from above. Their white chests, meanwhile, help them blend in with the lighter, brighter surface of the water, so that from below, they're near-invisible. On land, meanwhile, their black backs may stand out sharply against the snowy landscape, but in most regions, the birds face so few predators on land, it's unnecessary to try to blend into the background. 14. HOATZIN CHICKS ARE BORN WITH CLAWS ON THEIR WINGS. Though they disappear after three months, young hoatzin (also known as "stink birds" for their unique stench) have two claws on each wing, which they can use to climb across tree branches or pull themselves out of water onto dry land. The claws also help chicks hide from predators: After jumping from their nest into the water below, the little hoatzin swim some distance, then pull themselves on land with their claws. When the coast is clear, they use their claws to climb up onto a tree branch. 15. BUDGIES CATCH EACH OTHER'S YAWNS. Budgerigars, or budgies, a common parakeet, are the only bird species so far discovered who are susceptible to contagious yawning. While humans, dogs, chimps, lab rats, and a few other creatures have all been known to catch each other's yawns, budgies are the first non-mammal species observed exhibiting the behavior. Many scientists believe the unconscious, instinctual response may be a primitive way of showing empathy, or it might be a sign of group alertness. Enjoy the beauty of the world and be happy!

Also it is the seventh largest constellation of the 88 known constellations. It takes up about 1200 square degrees in the sky. Closely associated with the Perseus constellation, the Pegasus constellation is quite easy to spot in the night sky due to its symbolic, “the great square”, which is made up of bright stars. Pegasus was a winged horse that was born of Medusa’s neck when Perseus beheaded her. By other legend it was born from mix of Medusa's blood and Poseidon's sea ​​foam. Athena gave Pegasus to Perseus so that he could free Andromeda from Cetus Another story associated with Pegasus is of Prince Bellerophon (51 Pegasi), who was fascinated by the winged horse, Pegasus. On the advice of a fortune-teller, Bellerophon approached Pegasus at its favorite grazing place and was able to tame it. Bellerophon became very proud on seemingly able to fly like the gods. Bellerophon force him to climb to Olympus, Pegasus did not want to get close to the gods because Zeus could punish him because of Bellerophon, so he let him fall, and thereafter, Bellerophon wandered aimlessly through the world, unable to talk to anyone, rejected by the gods. Since then, Pegasus stayed in the stables of Olympus. It was also said that he was the father of the Centaurs, who were born of a slave, with whom Pegasus and Ixion were related the same night. Then it became the constellation that bears his name with the four bright stars that make up the Pegasus Square. Made by AuroraArtStory.

There are few interesting facts about mermaids: One of The Earliest Mermaid Legends Comes From Syria In ancient Syrian (~ 1000 BC), there was a goddess who went by the name of Atargatis. She was a fertility goddess whose cult eventually spread to Greece and Rome and was associated with water (especially lakes) and fish. Often depicted in mermaid form, Atargatis is perhaps the "original" mermaid. Legend has it that she dove into a lake to become a fish, but only her bottom half was transformed. Mermaids Are Literally ‘Women of the Sea’ In Old English, "mer" means "sea," and "maid" simply meant woman. Mermaids are therefore "women of the sea." Following this line of etymological logic, a "mer" man (merman) would be a "man of the sea." Both names make perfect sense and describe their natural habitat without a lot of fuss. Mermaids and mermen are fish-like people who swim through the oceans and the seas. Aquamarine Is Made of Mermaid Tears Aquamarine is the gemstone of the sea, and it's supposed to be a cherished object for mermaids. In addition to being treasure, people once believed this gemstone came from the tears of mermaids, and it used to be thought had the power to protect sailors when they were at sea, or when they fell into the water. Mermaids Can See Into The Future Hans Christian Andersen based the mermaids in his tale, 'The Little Mermaid,' on Scandinavian mermaids called the Havfine. These northern merfolk were able to live in both freshwater and saltwater. They were also supposed to be fairly temperamental, and have the ability to foretell the future. If a human being ever caught sight of one, it was considered a bad omen. Oddly he makes no mention of crabs singing reggae music. The Infamous Sirens Started Out As Bird Women Sirens bring to mind images of lovely mermaids sitting on rocky shores, singing out and luring impressionable sailors to their doom. A ton of folk art as well as many myths support this notion, but the sirens of Ancient Greece were actually bird-women (half woman, half bird). Eventually these bird women, or harpys, were transformed into mermaids in some of the later stories, but they kept their beautiful, bird-like voices, in order to draw the mariners in.

Interesting facts about feathers and birds Some 400 billion birds share the planet with us, each with its own abundant coat of feathers. Far, far too many to count. Perhaps even harder to fathom is the wealth of plumage colors, patterns and shapes that spring from Mother Nature’s artistry. Check out this mind-boggling variety of feathers. Equally impressive is the story of how feathers evolved, how they grow on a bird’s body and the multitudinous functions they serve. They truly are marvels of engineering. Prepare to be wowed by the following 20 fascinating feather facts. Birds Are the Only Animals With Feathers Other creatures may fly (bats), lay eggs (lizards) and build nests (squirrels) like birds, but none are feathered. In that way, birds are unique. Plumage Didn’t Start With Birds Scientists now believe that most dinosaurs also had feathers (or at least feathery fluff) including, if you can picture it, Tyrannosaurus rex. That means birds are actually modern-day dinosaurs. In the beginning, feathers were probably more for insulation or ornamentation than for flight. But as dinosaurs evolved into today’s birds, the role of feathers also evolved to help them soar. Feathers Do Much More Than Help Birds Fly Think of plumage as a multifunctional suit — a sort of rain coat, sunscreen, winter jacket, armor and fashion statement all in Tone. Feathers not only protect birds from the elements, thorns and insects, but they also repel water, provide camouflage and help birds attract mates with sexy, showy plume displays. The Number of Feathers Varies Dramatically by Bird Species In general, small songbirds sport between 1,500 and 3,000 feathers, eagles and birds of prey have 5,000 to 8,000 and swans wear as many as 25,000. Hummingbirds have the fewest feathers at 1,000 while penguins have perhaps the densest(warmest)feather coat with about 100 feathers per squareinch Hummingbird Hummingbirds, like this green violet-ear (or Mexican violetear), have the fewest number of feathers in the avian world. Mdf, Edited by Laitche/Wikimedia Commons Hummingbirds, like this green violet-ear (or Mexican violetear), have the fewest number of feathers in the avian world. (Photo: Mdf, Edited by Laitche/Wikimedia Commons) Feathers Can Weigh More Than a Bird’s Skeleton That’s particularly true for flying birds, which have the lightest (mostly hollow) bones to keep them airborne. In some species, a bird’s skeleton represents only 5 percent of its total body weight, meaning their feathers account for a substantial portion of the rest. Feathers Share Similarities With Human Hair They’re constructed from the same fibrous protein called keratin (also the main component of nails, horns and claws), which pushes out of follicles in the skin. However, feathers are also clearly different. Unlike hair, they branch out into complex tree-like structures. The most intricate feathers have a central hollow shaft called the rachis, which sprouts branches called barbs, which further subdivide into smaller branching barbules. These interlock with other barbules to create a sleek, aerodynamic, form-fitting coat. Birds Maneuver Feathers via Tiny Muscles in Their Follicles These muscles form a network throughout a bird’s skin, allowing it to spread its feathers for a mating display, pull them closer together to form a tight seal against freezing temperatures, and fan its wing feathers to boost the surface area for better flight. Wild turkey mating display Tiny muscles in their skin follicles allow birds, like this wild male turkey, to puff out their feathers in magnificent mating displays. Mark Gunn/Flickr Tiny muscles in their skin follicles allow birds, like this wild male turkey, to puff out their feathers in magnificent mating displays. (Photo: Mark Gunn/Flickr) Plumage Comes in Seven Diverse Varieties Feather categories include wing feathers, tail feathers, contour feathers that cover a bird’s body and define its shape, filoplume (sensory) feathers, semiplume feathers that lie underneath contour feathers to provide some insulation, down feathers that offer even more insulation, and bristle feathers on the head that protect a bird’s eyes and face. Feathers Foster Flight Most of us take that for granted, but wing feathers truly are aerodynamic wonders. They’re perfectly designed — lightweight and flexible yet also rigid enough — to help birds lift off the earth, glide through the skies, dive at death-defying speeds, land expertly on flimsy tree branches, and pump continuously for thousands of miles during migrations. Each bird species has just the right feather array and wing shape for its particular flight needs. One Bird Species Uses Feathers to Carry Water The male sandgrouse, a denizen of desert areas in southwest Africa, fills its specialized belly feathers with water from watering holes and transports it back to the nest for its chicks to drink. Down Feathers Offer Unparalleled Insulation These specialized feathers lie between a bird’s protective outer feathers and its skin to insulate against the cold. Down is constructed with flexible barbs that have long crisscrossing barbules. This creates a tight thermal layer that traps air molecules next to the bird’s warm body and retains heat while also being extremely lightweight. In fact, down is so efficient, ounce per ounce, that humans have yet to create anything better. Longest Tail Feathers Belong to Onagadori Cocks These domestic chickens bred in Japan can sport tails up to 10 meters long (32 feet). Feathers Get Their Colors in Multi-Faceted Ways One way is via pigments, three to be exact. One pigment — called melanin — produces black or dark brown feathers. Interestingly, feathers that contain melanin are stronger and more resistant to wear and bacterial degradation. Another pigment group called porphyrins (modified amino acids) produce red, brown, pink and green colors. A third group of plant-based pigments — called carotenoids — provide red, orange and yellow hues. In this case, color is added to feathers when birds ingest either carotenoid-containing plants or animals that have eaten them. Flamingos, for instance, get their pink color from eating algae and crustaceans that contain carotenoids. Pigments Aren’t the Only Color Source for Feathers Some, like the iridescent throat feathers of a hummingbird, result from intricate patterns in the keratin of the barbules that refract light. Blue shades are produced by small air pockets in the keratin. The resulting patterns cancel out red and yellow wavelengths, allowing blue wavelengths to dominate. Peacock feathers A peacock’s blue and iridescent feathers don’t come from pigments but are produced by microstructures in the keratin that play light tricks. Noel Reynolds/Wikimedia Commons A peacock’s blue and iridescent feathers don’t come from pigments but are produced by microstructures in the keratin that play light tricks. (Photo: Noel Reynolds/Wikimedia Commons) The Better the Color and Feather Display, the Better the Chances for Mating It’s a hard-and-fast rule in the avian world. Studies show, for instance, that male house finches with the reddest feathers get more females. It’s hypothesized that bright colors may be nature’s way of indicating vitality and good health. Same for tail length. Research shows that female barn swallows (as well as many other bird species) find males with the longest tail streamers to be the most attractive. In the case of peacocks, male attractiveness is determined by a combination of iridescent colors, tail length and how enticingly they shake their display feathers. At Least One Bird Species Sings With Its Wings Male club-winged manakins rub specialized wing feathers together at super-high speeds like crickets. The vibration produces a violin-like sound called a stridulation. Its purpose? To woo the ladies, of course. Preening Isn’t Just About Looks Regular feather grooming actually serves many crucial functions. Preening keeps parasites in check, removes dirt, keeps feathers supple and allows birds to properly arrange their plumage for the most effective insulation, waterproofing and flight. The secret ingredient is a special protective oil produced in the preen gland near the base of a bird’s tail used to coat feathers. Some species like owls and pigeons don’t have this gland but rely instead on specialized feathers that disintegrate into a powder down that’s used to coat feathers in the same way. Pied shag preening A pied shag (native to New Zealand) preens its feathers to keep them clean, parasite-free, supple and waterproof A pied shag (native to New Zealand) preens its feathers to keep them clean, parasite-free, supple and waterproof Flamingos Use Preen Oil as Makeup Turns out the oil from their preen glands also pick up carotenoids like their feathers. Researchers have observed flamingos rubbing reddish-orange preen oil for extra dazzle on their already pinkish breast, neck and back feathers. Birds Replace Their Feathers Regularly It’s called molting, and it’s how birds deal with the normal wear and tear that gradually degrades hardworking feathers (even carefully preened ones). Depending on the species, birds may shed all their worn or damaged feathers or just some in a staggered fashion to make way for fresh new plumage. Molts typically occur once a year, but some species molt more often. Birds Aren’t the Only Ones That Can Replace Feathers So can humans, using an ancient technique called imping (short for “implanting”). This is particularly important for birds that break wing feathers in between molts. Not being able to fly for even a short period of time can be deadly. Imping allows damaged feathers to be snipped and replaced with similar ones from a previous molt or from a donor bird. The procedure involves inserting a thin piece of metal or bamboo (an imping splint) into the shaft of a broken feather still on the wing. Then a replacement feather is slipped onto the other end of the splint, and everything is secured with adhesive. Enjoy the beauty of nature and be happy!
