Abstract/ concrete class questions/problems

Question

I am new to java and working on a abstract problem. I'm getting several errors. Here is the code I have so far for the abstract class. I commented out the super and it compiles but I'm not sure if it correct. I'm suppose to create a abstract base class Animal. Single constructor requires String to indicate type of animal which then is stored in an instance variable. I also have to add a few methods (describe(), move(), etc).
public abstract class  Animal
     public Animal(String type)
          //super(type);
     public abstract String describe();
     public abstract String sound();
     public abstract String sleep();
     public abstract String move();
}

Answer 1

thanks for the replies. I modified my code but I have a few more errors I can't figure out. Can you browse the code and help point me in the right direction.
Here are the errors I get
cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Cat(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
location: class Cat
cannot find symbol
symbol : constructor Robin(java.lang.String)
location: class Robin
abstract base class:
public abstract class  Animal
     String type;
     public Animal(String type)
       this.type = type;
     public abstract String describe();
     public abstract String sound();
     public abstract String sleep();
     public abstract String move();
}concrete class
public class Cat extends Animal
     private String name;
     protected String breed;
     public Cat()
       super("Cat");
     public String describe()
          return new String(",a breed of Cat called");
     public String sound()
          return new String("Meow");
     public String sleep()
          return new String("Kitty is having purfect dreams!");
     public String move()
          return new String("This little Kitty moves fast!");
}another abstract class
public abstract class Bird extends Animal
     protected String breed;
     public Bird()
       super("Bird");
     public abstract String move();
}here is the abstract test program itself
public class AbstractTest
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Cat cat = new Cat("Kitty", "Angora");
          Robin bird = new Robin("Rockin");
          System.out.println("Form the cat:   ");
          System.out.print("This is:     "); cat.describe();
          System.out.print("Sound:       "); cat.sound();
          System.out.print("Sleeping:    "); cat.sleep();
          System.out.print("Moving:      "); cat.move();
          System.out.println("\n");
          System.out.println("For the robin:     "); bird.describe();
          System.out.print("This is:             "); bird.sound();
          System.out.print("Sound:               "); bird.sleep();
          System.out.print("Moving:              "); bird.move();
          System.out.print("\n");
          System.out.println("nEnd of program.");
