To help you with this, I have drawn a basic diagram of a bird that can be labeled. If you click on the picture below you can download a pdf worksheet for your Tenderheart to use. And I did include an answer sheet. The worksheet also includes basic definitions for all of the parts of the bird needed to complete requirement #1. 
If you are trying to complete this badge, I have also posted these requirements:
NOTE: The requirements have been simplified here. Please be sure to read the full text in the Girl Handbook to make sure you fully understand the requirements.
