Tiling the Plane with Birds
This example explores what figures can be used to tile the plane, what shapes can
fit together to achieve this effect. Here we choose to tile the plane with birds, i.e.,
polygons that look like birds.
The procedures for this example were written by Prof. Judy Coomes at William
Paterson University.

1. Select another object, draw a representation of such object using polygons (could be
irregular) such that they will fit together. Write the procedures to tile a portion
of the plane.
2. Investigate what polygons can be used to tile the plane.
