Final answer:

The converse, inverse, and contrapositive of the given conditional statement are provided along with their truth values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional statement, "If an animal is a bird, then it has two eyes" can be represented as:

  2. Inverse: If an animal is not a bird, then it does not have two eyes.
  3. Contrapositive: If an animal does not have two eyes, then it is not a bird.

The truth values of each statement are:

  1. Converse: False
  2. Inverse: False
  3. Contrapositive: False

The solution provides an example that shows the invalidity of the original statement.
