Reference excerpt

The Parc des Oiseaux (English: Park of Birds) is a zoological park located in Villars-les-Dombes in the department of Ain in France. The site is recorded in the general inventory of the cultural heritage and was opened in 1970. It is one of the oldest ornithological parks in France and brings together a collection of more than 3,000 birds from around the world in a 380 ha (940 acres) reserve located in the heart of the Dombes. The section opened to the public covers an area of 35 ha (86 acres) within the reserve and welcomes on average 250,000 visitors per year. The park is a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and the National Association of Zoological Parks, it participated in fifteen European breeding programmes for the protection and reintroduction of endangered species.

Operation of the park Three hundred bird species are represented at the Parc des Oiseaux. These represent a collection of 3,000 birds from all continents.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Parc des Oiseaux

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Parc des Oiseaux claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Parc des Oiseaux before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Parc des Oiseaux ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Parc des Oiseaux

In research: Parc des Oiseaux appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Parc des Oiseaux in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Parc des Oiseaux is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Aviaries, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Parc des Oiseaux outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
