Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My first morning on Parrott Place I awoke to a knocking sound coming from a tree. A bird was using his beak to peck at the tree trunk. What noisy bird was it?

Answer: woodpecker

Woodpeckers have strong bills for drilling and drumming on trees and long sticky tongues for extracting food.
2. I decided to walk around the lake. I saw something on the ground that looked like a stone with design on it but it had a head and four feet and moved very slowly. What did I see on the ground?

Answer: turtle

Turtles and tortoises move slowly because of their heavy shells.
3. I saw a beautiful red songbird high on a treetop! He had a "crest" on his head and a black face. What bird was it?

Answer: cardinal

Males can sing up to 200 songs in an hour and sometimes the male and female will sing together!
4. As I sat on a bench and ate my lunch, a little furry animal with long ears and a fluffy tail hopped over. I gave him a piece of lettuce. What animal did I share my lunch with?

Answer: rabbit

More than half of the world's rabbits live in North America.
5. Continuing my walk, I passed a garden of beautiful flowers and saw black and yellow insect buzzing around the flowers. Who was this "busy bug"?

Answer: a honey bee

Honey bees are the insects that produce the honey eaten by humans!
6. As I was walking home I saw some children catching bugs in jars. These flying bugs were lit up! What were they?

Answer: fireflies

The firefly (or lightning bug) contains luciferin and luciferase, two rare chemicals used in research on cancer, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis and heart disease! The chemicals give off the light that you see when a firefly comes near.
7. After dinner my sister and I decided to sit in the yard and enjoy the night air. We heard some noise from an old tree and we saw an animal that looked very much like Meeko from the movie "Pocahontas". What naughty, "masked" animal was this?

Answer: raccoon

Raccoons' fingers enable them to open latches, untie knots, turn doorknobs, and open jars. Their prints look like tiny human baby handprints and footprints!
8. We were surprised by another night visitor. He had a pointy face and a skinny tail. When I tried to get a closer look he "played possum"! What do you think this little actor was?

Answer: opossum

Opossums or possums are North America's only marsupial and are mostly immune to rabies, and in fact, they are eight times less likely to carry rabies compared to wild dogs!
9. When it was time to go to sleep we saw something fly up into a tree. It made a strange squeaking noise. What was this night flyer?

Answer: a bat

Bats are flying mammals. Other mammals can glide but bats are the only mammals capable of continued flight.
10. Of all the living things that I saw on Parrott Place, one thing I didn't see was a bird often known for its ability to speak by mimicking human voices. What bird might you think should live on Parrott Place?

Answer: parrot

Although parrots are not native to this area a shipment of parrots destined for sale at New York area pet shops was accidentally released at Kennedy Airport in the late 1960's (1967 or 1968). It is likely that the birds survived in the parklands surrounding Kennedy Airport.
