Most beautiful birds

It’s not easy to tell what the most beautiful birds are, as they are all amazing and beautiful creatures. For me, the most beautiful bird is swan. According to zoologists, the Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white plumage but the Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. And the Australian Black Swan is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its wings. Meanwhile, the chicks of black swans are light grey in color, and the South American Black-necked Swan has a black neck. Noteworthy, swans usually mate for life, though ‘divorce’ does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure. And the number of eggs in each clutch ranges from three to eight.

There are four flamingo species in the Americas and two species in the Old World. Flamingos are very social birds that live in colonies that can number in the thousands. The Old World flamingos were considered by the Ancient Egyptians to be the living representation of the god Ra, in The Bahamas they are the national bird.

On this beautiful bird walk strange stories: that every spring they begin to fall, forcing the Australians to bear them in veterinaries.

Red Cardinal. It lives mainly in the eastern U.S. states, as well as in southeastern Canada and Mexico. Coloring of the male bright crimson, with a black “mask” on its face. In the painting is dominated by female gray-brown tone, with reddish feathers on the wings, breast, and tuft, with less pronounced “mask” than the male.

Kingfisher. Moved only with the help of wings, as the legs are short and are not intended for long-term displacement. Plumage dull near Kingfisher, its brightness is achieved due to the refraction of light feathers. Kingfishers love the solitude, to see them – a rarity. Voice – an intermittent beeping “tiip-tiip-tiip.”

Red Macaw. The king parrots. Despite the grand and colorful look at the macaw was a hard fate. They have long been hunted Indians. The meat they use for food and feathers – feathers for arrows and accessories.

Mandarin. A bird of the family Anatidae. Its flying fast and maneuverable, it’s easy to take off, sometimes almost straight up. Unlike most ducks, tangerine can often be seen sitting on the branches of trees or on cliffs. Hunting is prohibited on the tangerine, it has been included in the Red Book of Russia as a rare species. This duck breed in the parks as ornamental birds.
