Penguin facts penguins are birds with black and white feathers and a funny waddle. Penguins spend as much as 75% of there time underwater, searching for food in the ocean.
Penguins habitat’s • Some of the penguins are able to live in the coldest parts of the world. • Others live very close to the equator where it is quite warm.
Eagle owl • This owl is found in North Africa, Europe, Asia and middle east Many different habitats.
Peacock • Peacocks are large, colourful pheasants (typically blue and green) known for their iridescent tails.
Rainbow parrots • The colourful bird is pleasant to the eye mostly anywhere in the world, except in some regions of its native Australia, where it is even treated as a pest. Orchard owners hunt Rainbow Lorikeet groups because they strip trees of fresh fruit, and they are also unwelcome in urban areas because of their droppings and noise.
Flamingos • Traditionally, the long-legged Ciconiiformes, probably a paraphyletic assemblage, have been considered the flamingos' closest relatives and the family was included in the order. Usually the ibises and spoonbills of the Threskiornithidae were considered their closest relatives within this order. Earlier genetic studies, such as those of Charles Sibley and colleagues, also supported this relationship. Relationships to the waterfowl were considered as well, especially as flamingos are parasitized by feather lice of the genus , which are otherwise exclusively found on ducks and geese. The peculiar presbyornithids were used to argue for a close relationship between flamingos, waterfowl, and waders, but they are now known to be unequivocal waterfowl.
Turtle doves • Turtle doves Turtle doves are a common enough sight in their African and Asian heartlands, from where they've gone on to colonise much of Europe. When introduced to places in which they don't naturally occur, notably North America, population expands rapidly, making turtle doves a highly successful group of birds. The collared dove and turtle dove are just two species from this group, and you can click on the images below to watch video or just find out more about these very typical doves. Listen out for the monotonous cooing and purring of these common and widespread birds.
