Just looking for some awesome bird facts to make my day.

Hello everyone. First time in this sub. My 9 year old son is a huge bird fan. He knows so many birds by name already and its his favorite topic.

In one of his books there is this bird and so far i was unable to tell what kind of bird that is. Im not even sure if thats a real bird.

Maybe anyone in here can help us? Would be much appreciated.

for the past couple of weeks a male, northern flicker has been hanging out under our deck. i accidentally spooked him once when i went outside to blow my nose, no idea he was there. i decided to check if i could find him if i was quiet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ he’s asleep and so cute i am crying and might pass away . i love knowing he’s outside my room while i sleep

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find maps of bird migration routes for Brandenburg, Germany. I know such maps are available for Sachsen-Anhalt and Thüringen, but I haven’t been able to locate any for Brandenburg yet. Does anyone know if there are accessible migration maps for this region, or where I might be able to find them?

For reference, the stopover sites (Rastgebiete) for Brandenburg can be found here:

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm curious what adaptations and unique attributes they have in their body plan. (wings, feet, brain, etc..)

If a bird overheats, it keeps its bill open to let warm air into its body to evaporate something (I would also like to know what exactly gets evaporated), but then what? How exactly does it help? And do all birds use this technique?

I've seen lots of people talk about how their bird, or even a wild bird, loves to pull on shoelaces or play with shoelaces. Like there are shoelace toys for parrots and stuff. Could it be because the aglet looks kind of like a pin feather?

Found this beautiful bird lying on the ground this morning, has not made any noise. It's missing quite a few of its back features, and has been sitting with its head tilted down. What should I do? I tried giving him some water, it drank a little.

Ugh, the feather is gone and I didn’t get a size reference for it (so many ants nearby). It was probably 6-7”? We’re in Scottsdale, Arizona, but right next to reservation land. We initially thought pigeon, but we rarely see pigeons and never anything but the normal color. I’ve seen more lovebirds than pigeons, lol. We DO have a trio of Harris’s hawks and a pair of Great Horned Owls - our block seems to be an overlap in territory. With so many birds traveling through for winter + our year round residents, we have no idea?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for books about birds. I'm wanting to learn a lot about birds and other animals. Do you know any books?
