SHANGRALA'S

BEAUTIFUL EXOTIC BIRDS 2!

There are about 10,000 different species of birds. Here's more of the most magnificent ones that you may have not even known existed. Enjoy! :) Bare-Throated Bellbird These birds live in the Atlantic Forest of South America and have one of the loudest calls of any bird. Malabar Pied Hornbill These are an easily recognizable bird due to the large casque (the display growth on the upper bill). The tribal people of central India believed that hanging a skull of the hornbill brought wealth. Red-Naped Trogon This type of trogon is found in and around Borneo and is threatened due to habitat loss. Turquoise-Browed Motmot Motmots aren't born with their signature racket-tipped tails. The feathers are weakly attached and shed away easily after development. Malayan Banded Pitta This is one of three separate species of banded pittas that were lumped together as one. Due to their vocal and visual differences the species were recently split.

White-Throated Kingfisher These birds nest in tunnels dug into the steep banks on the sides of streams and roads. Purple Gallinule These birds will swim in water like a duck and walk on floating plants like a chicken with the help of their long toes. Splendid Astrapia This is another of the 41 species of the birds-of-paradise and is only found in the mountains of New Guinea. Kea These are the only alpine parrots in the world and are found on the south island of New Zealand. They are large parrots known for their intelligent and inquisitive nature. Capped Heron You can easily spot these in South America as they are the only 'all white' heron with a little black cap and bright blue bill, but you may not hear them because their muffled hoots are known to be very quiet. Twelve-Wired Bird-of-Paradise The male will do a dance and brush the female with his 12 wiry display feather to seduce her. Horned Sungem This is a type of hummingbird found in South America and only the males have the iridescent horns. Red-Bearded Bee-Eater These birds catch bees and other insects in the air, not after they have landed. They remove the stinger by hitting the insect repeatedly on a hard surface and this removes most of the venom.
