Final answer:

The task involves using coordinating conjunctions 'and', 'but', and 'or' to connect ideas within sentences. These conjunctions have specific purposes and should include a comma when joining two independent clauses, except when just combining verbs, adjectives, or nouns without emphasis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves the use of coordinating conjunctions to join ideas in sentences. Coordinating conjunctions include words such as 'and', 'but', and 'or'. These conjunctions can connect independent clauses, verbs, adjectives, or nouns. Each of these conjunctions serves a specific purpose: 'and' connects related ideas, 'but' is used to show contrast or a conflict between ideas, and 'or' suggests a choice between ideas.

Let's apply this to the sentences provided:

  1. The birds worked hard on the nest, and it is messy.
  2. The female sits on the nest, and the male brings her food.
  3. Is that bird a robin, or is it a swallow?
  4. We have a birdhouse on the fence, but I haven't seen a bird there.
  5. Will the eggs hatch today, or will they hatch tomorrow?
  6. The baby birds are hungry, and their parents feed them.
  7. Dad tried to take photos, but the birds moved.
  8. A bird sat on the wall, and dad got a good picture.
  9. We can send this photo to Grandpa, or we can send that one.

Remember to use commas when connecting two independent clauses with any of the coordinating conjunctions, except when you're connecting just two verbs, adjectives, or nouns.
