Bing Homepage Quiz Answers – August 28, 2025 🧠✨

Every morning Bing drops three fresh questions on its homepage. You get points, bragging rights, and maybe a reality check if you miss the easy one. Today’s set for August 28, 2025, had some bite—birds, history, and fashion trends all tangled up in feathers. Let’s walk through them and make sure your streak stays unbroken.


✅ Question 1: What is another name for the great egret?

  • A. Great blue heron

  • B. Great white egret

  • C. Snowy egret

Correct Answer: B — Great white egret.

The great egret is also called the great white egret, thanks to its striking all-white plumage. Don’t confuse it with the snowy egret (smaller, with golden slippers for feet) or the great blue heron (which is, well, blue). This one is the tall, statuesque bird that models patience while hunting in marshes.


✅ Question 2: What trend in the late 1800s significantly affected the great egret population?

  • A. Fashion demand for their plumes

  • B. Coal mining expansion

  • C. A rise in fishing activities

Correct Answer: A — Fashion demand for their plumes.

By the late 1800s, women’s hats turned into feather showcases. The delicate plumes of egrets were worth more than gold by weight. Entire colonies were wiped out for fashion’s sake. This slaughter shocked enough people to fuel one of America’s earliest conservation movements.


✅ Question 3: Which organization was influenced by the activism of Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall?

  • A. The World Wildlife Fund

  • B. The National Audubon Society

  • C. BirdLife International

Correct Answer: B — The National Audubon Society.

Two Boston women—Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall—got fed up with the bloodbath behind feathered hats. They hosted tea parties, rallied upper-class women, and launched a boycott of plume fashion. Their movement birthed the Massachusetts Audubon Society in 1896, which snowballed into the National Audubon Society, still a heavyweight in bird protection today.
