Birds are one of the most colourful animals on Earth, providing a feast of colours to the eye.
So, from the majestic Indian Peafowl to the gorgeous and shy Common kingfisher, let's have a look at these stunning colourful birds across the world.
Indian Peafowl: Mainly found in India, Sri Lanka, and other South Asian countries, the vividly coloured male peacock impresses female peacocks by spreading their spectacular fan of iridescent feathers.
Red-necked tanager: Found in the lowland forests of eastern Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, these gorgeous birds feed at the top of the fruiting tree and live for about five years.
Spangled cotinga: They are found in the forests of northern South America including the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Male birds have more striking light-blue feathers on their belly with bluish-black wings and magenta throats in comparison to females.
Common kingfisher: They are found across Europe, Asia, and North Africa and can be recognized from their distinct bright blue and orange feather. Known to be quite shy, they hunt small fishes out of slow-moving and still water.
Rainbow lorikeet: Largely seen in northern and eastern Australia, this beautiful bird is classified as a “true” parrot because of its hooked beak and herbivorous nature.
Vulturine guineafowl: Native to eastern Africa, including Ethiopia and Tanzania, these stunning birds live in flocks and roam around dry savanna for seeds, tubers, roots, small reptiles, insects, rodents, etc.
Golden Pheasant: Also known as rainbow pheasant and Chinese pheasant, they are native to China. Males are recognized for their bright colours of red, yellow, white, black, and blue markings, while females are mainly brown or grey.
