This project will require you to analyze an avian skull from the pictures attached . The purpose of the project is to relate the structures of the skull to their functions.
For example does your skull have very larger orbits? Why does it have large orbits? You will need to do some research on the bird to find these things out. Here are the requirements for this paper.
Pictures of the skull from the following angles: Top view, Side view, Rear view, and underside view.
Label as many bones as possible from each angle of the skull.
Two page paper analyzing the skull (Double spaced, 12 point font standard margins, Times New Roman).
Your discussion should focus on form and function as related to the adaptations of the skull.
For example, what does it eat as related to its bill shape? Is the cranial capacity related to its intelligence?
