Names of the birds are below each picture of each bird. This is made purposely to make you guess the name of each bird.
Long-Tailed Widowbird:
These South African birds are named for their almost all black coloring and, of course, their extremely long tail. The tail of the males can be over 16 inches long, which is more than twice their body length.
Splendid Fairywren:
The males are fully blue when breeding, but otherwise look more similar to the females. They turn pale brown on top and white underneath, although retain the blue on wings and tail.
Royal Flycatcher:
There are 4 species of royal flycatchers all with the “royal crown” which is generally only on display during courtship rituals and competitions with other males. Usually the crest is lying flat but opens up like a fan.
King of Saxony Bird-of-Paradise:
The ornamental head plumes on the males are so bizarre that when the first specimen was brought to Europe , people thought it was fake.
Curl-Crested Aracari:
This bird is a member of the toucan family and gets it’s name from the feathers on it’s head that are curled up like ribbons on a gift.
Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock
Their almost perfect semi-circle crest is formed by two rows of feathers, flattened against each other. Unlike other birds, their crest is always on display
Livingstone's Turaco
Turacos make up the bird family Musophagidae (literally "banana-eaters"). Des pite the name, they generally do not eat bananas.
Kea
Beautiful birds from all over the world.
