true (partly to get technical): most birds have one song they sing although there is a few birds that will mimic noises they hear. for instance the lyre mbird of australia can mimic thousands of noises, from other birds to chainsaws, or even the sound of a camera.





true: there is several different species of birds that mate for life, penguins, owls, and ravens. but there are birds that will have several mates like ostriches.





true: most birds build their nests asa safe haven for their babies, but some birds also build their nest to attract mates, like african weaver birds that build their nest from straw, the straw nest hangs from trees with an entrance in the bottom of the nest, the males build them and if the female is satified they will mate, if she isn't satisfied she will destroy the nest forcing the male to start all over.





true: most birds of prey will rip their food to shreds and swallow the peices whole. owls though prefer to eat bite sized meals like mice and sometime other birds and swallow their victims whole.
