Chimney Swifts

Chimney swift are small,  slender birds that have become a symbol of summer for many.  they usually appear urine warm,  summer months as they make their way to more tropical sites for the winter. They are recognized spectacular, chirping flocks moving through the sky in synchrony. chimney swift can be seen most vividly at the colonies of hundreds. Or even thousands, of  individuals from tornado like funnels as they descend into the chimney. Unfortunately,  the size of the colonies we see is misleading. Though the numbers may seem remarkable,  chimney population have been declining sharply since the 1970s due primarily to habitat loss. 

 Unlikely most birds, chimney swift cannot perch or stand upright,  so they require long, hollow spaces that are provide save roosting and nesting sites . Historically, chimney swift preferred hollow trees. However,  Espeon pioneers territory and replaced forest with towns,  the species was forced to adapt by using other structures,  such as US,  the large-scale shift two alternate heat sources,  chimney capping,  and the use of fabricated chimneys has drasting  their ability to nest during migration. Newer,  prefabricated chimneys are often aligned with metal flues that  make it possible for the addition,  logging and deforestation may make  finding suitable overwintering habitat more challenging than ever. 

In an effort of sustain the remaining population,  conservation groups have designed supplemental housing structure “ Chimney Towers,”  this towers are designed specially to provide a roosting sites 4 Chimney Swifts.  Chimney swift  almost entirely on man-made structure  like these to survive.  However,  because this species is remarkable adaptive minimal conservation efforts like keeping traditional masonry  chimneys uncapped during the summer months can improve their changes to survival. 

1. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

• the number of Chimney Swifts in the world has been slowly decreasing since 1970s

• prefabricated chimneys are the one thing that the threatens  the future of the chimneys swifts

• the diminishing number of Chimney swifts can be reversed by simple conservation efforts

• chimney swift rely entirely on masonry chimneys to survive their yearly migration

2. Which of the following conclusion can the reader make from the passage?

• chimney swifts are nocturnal Birds whose large number are evident in the size of their colonies

• metal flues are inserted in masonry chimneys to prevent birds, such as Chimney Swifts,  from nesting in them

• moving in a large chirping blocks is a natural protection against predators

• chimney swift can easily adapt roosting behaviors to any structure made of the proper material

3. Which of the following lists support the main idea of the passage?

• logging and deforestation,  changes in the way we heat our buildings,  and chimney capping have robbed the chimney roasting sites

• chimney swift appear in North America in summer,  migrate  to the tropics in winter,  and give birth in the spring

• the small,  slender bird known as the chimney swift migrates in large numbers, Can be seen only at dusk,  and raised its babies

• metal line chimneys,  chimney Towers,  and reforestation efforts  will ultimately result in the growth of the chimney Swifts

4. Based on this passage,  which of the following statement is true?

•  that author relies on first-hand observation of chimney swift Behavior

•  the author has an extensive background in bird studies

•  the author use an informal style that appeals to reader

•  the author provides fact to support the main idea

5. The first paragraph in the passage on Chimney Swifts include this description: “ large colonies of hundreds or even thousands from tornado-like funnels”  why does the author include this passage?

• It is stablish the passage as work of fiction

• it provides the reader with an engagement image

• it offers supporting evidence from the claim

• it proves the author is an expert in bird studies

6. Which of the following can be interfered from the passage?

•  logging industry production dramatically increase around 1970s

•  changing Home Design & Home Heating occurs in 1970s

•  the chimney swift adaptability was severely hindered around 1970s

•  the way we track ChimneySwift population change in the 1970s
