Thursday's questions:
The Birds and the Bees: Five questions about birds and bees
1. The ostrich is the world’s tallest extant bird. What is the world’s second-tallest bird, which is native to Australia?
2. Queen bees are, pound for pound, one of the most valuable exports of which U.S. state, whose official flower is the yellow hibiscus?
3. Birds evolved from the theropod dinosaurs. If you’re hiding in a kitchen cabinet in “Jurassic Park,” what theropod is chasing you?

5. “Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it.” According to a song famously covered by Ella Fitzgerald, what do they all do?
