Research Project! I need your help!

Animal Project Ideas:


First Idea:
Observing How Pigeons respond to feeding (dominance)

Second Idea:
Go to zoo tomorrow and watch chimps (dominance/homosexuality)

Third Idea:
Mow lawn in Kendall count the number of birds that come to eat the worms after the grass is cut. Then try and "trick" the birds by driving around with the lawnmower's blade up! Do the birds come because of the sound or the smell of the cut grass? Repeat 10 times and charge the neighbors each time (30 dollars). Make 300 dollars and be happY!

Fourth Idea:
Ask a wise old owl how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.

Fifth Idea:
Observe coots in Florida Bay off Flamingo.

Sixth Idea:
Count the number of alligators along Shark Valley at three different times of day. See how the alligators respond to people on the trail.

Seventh Idea:
Go to Seaquarium and talk to wrestler/trainer from bus. Ask the wrestler/trainer for any ideas for a project!

Idea number Eight:
Find out why tigers and vicious animals hate black folks.

Ninth Idea:
Different bird sounds at different times of day. Have a symbol for each bird sound. Use a recorder to record the sound and then count the number of audible calls. Call an ornithologist to determine which birds make which sound. Have a chart.

Tenth Idea:
Count the number of fish which eat the bread thrown in the canal. Note the quantity of the fish surfacing.

Eleventh Idea:
Survey the number of manatees on the Miami River.

Twelvth Idea:
Release wild pirannas into canal system. Watch the funniness.

Thirteenth Idea:
Variation on number 1- Tempt pigeons/seagulls (pajaro chusmos) with food. Play Jason Mraz for an hour- see how many pajaros like it. Play heavy metal - see how pajaros respond.

Fourteenth Idea:
Go out on the bay around dusk. Throw lots of blood into the water and count the number of sharks you see!

Fifteenth Idea:
