    (1) The document summarizes a student's lab report on observing bird interactions at different study sites over a five day period. (2) Data was collected on the numbers and species of birds seen at each site in the mornings and afternoons, and line graphs were used to analyze patterns. (3) Key findings included some bird species preferring canopy trees like coconut and mango, and birds generally being more active in the mornings and interacting or feeding in the trees.

    Title: Hypothesis testing-Developing methods

    Aim: To collect and input the raw data into appropriate datasheets

    Materials:

    ● Camera/ cellphone

    ● Notebook

    ● Pen

    ● Timer

    ● Computer

    Procedure

    A suitable study site was selected for observation. The site was divided into four different points;

    A, B, C and D. The interactions of the birds on the trees in the various study sites were observed

    for ten minutes every morning at 5.30 am and at 5.30 pm for five days. The numbers and species

    of birds observed in each study site, both mornings and afternoons, were recorded on the data

    analysis sheets. Line graphs were used to further analyze the frequency of each species of bird

    that visited the site for the five day period. A comparison of the various species of birds was

    made with relevance to the variety of trees in the study sites.

    Field notes and other observations over the five day period

    On day one the weather condition was partially cloudy and sunny and birds were mostly seen in

    the morning. On day two the weather condition was sunny and the soil was extremely dry, plants

    also seem dry and there were no visible sign of millipedes on the soil. Birds were seen for brief

    time periods and then they flew away, birds appeared busy and searching. On day three the

    weather condition was partly cloudy and sunny, soil appeared damp and leaves of plants were

    dewy and supple. Birds were seen peacefully whistling and interacting with the azure scene of

    the magnificent garden. On day four the weather condition was sunny, and much birds were not

    seen, the few that were seen flew away very quickly, they were also noisy and seem “fretting”.

    On the final day, day five, the weather condition was sunny and birds were seen feeding mostly.
    Overall, it was observed that birds mostly were seen in trees in the canopy layer, for example the

    coconut trees and mango trees. Also, birds are more noticeable in the mornings, birds interact

    strangely with each other and appear to be aggressive with each other.

    Finally, birds are swift and enjoys the comfort of trees especially fruit trees out of predators

    disturbance.
