The most bizarre birds, some seem to travel to Earth from another world
Let's admire the beauty of birds with unique and strange appearances, as if they "traveled through time" to Earth from another world.
The Rupicola is a bird of the Cotingidae family native to South America. It is difficult to see because it is extremely wary. The Rupicola is notable for its bright orange plumage and unique fan-shaped crest.The Golden Pheasant is native to China and is now found in England, Scotland, Spain and France. The Golden Pheasant has a striking plumage and very long tail. This bird is very alert to unusual dangers.The Lophorina bird of paradise is very small, only about the size of a hand span. The bird's song seems to "travel through time" from another world to this Earth, extremely beautiful.Hornbills are known for their impressive beaks. However, their tongues are so short, inversely proportional to the length of their beaks, that they cannot swallow their food and must throw it deep into their throats to make it easier for their prey to pass down.This bird has two names, Christmas and Pirate, with opposite meanings, one for beauty and goodness; the other for evil and daring. The name Pirate comes from their habit of stealing food.The Andean condor is the world's largest bird of prey with an extremely ferocious appearance.Mandarin ducks or mandarin ducks originate from China and Japan, and are considered the most beautiful ducks in the world. This duck is considered a symbol of love, loyalty, and marital happiness.The Hoatzin, which lives in the Amazon and Orinoco deltas, is one of the most unique birds in the world. This bird is a vegetarian and eats leaves, fruits, and flowers.The Kagu bird, which lives on the island nation of New Caledonia (1,200km north of Australia), has a “tiny nose” with a shell covering its nostrils. This special structure helps them comfortably find food in dense bushes where sand and dust cannot fly in.Oilbirds are nocturnal and cave dwellers. They eat fruit. They use echolocation to find food, much like bats and dolphins. However, they can hear the sounds they make.The potoo bird has a gray-brown and white plumage mixed with tree bark, which helps them easily camouflage to hide from enemies.The Philippine Eagle, which stands about 1 meter tall and weighs 7 kilograms, is considered the “world’s largest bird of prey.” Almost no prey can escape its steel-sharp talons.The roseate spoonbill has the beauty of a creature that seems to come from heaven.
