I don't understand why some birds remain longer with their parents while others are autonomous shortly after birth. How are they different?

Correctly associate the characteristics of precocious and altricial

Great job!

Take notes for the final challenge: altricial animals mature after their birth, while precocial animals mature relatively at their birth.

Among birds, both altricial and precocial are born from eggs, but altricial birds (like songbirds, and parrots) are born immature and need greater parental care while precocial birds are born plumed, open-eyed, capable of movement and relatively autonomous (see ducklings.)
