Without precedent for 130 years, this Philippine-based bird has been
spotted, and out of the blue - shot and presented to the world!
Quite possibly of the most capricious flyer, this charming little species
figured out how to sidestep us beginning around 1890. The South
Philippine bantam kingfisher has an incredibly shaded plumage with a
kaleidoscope of metallic lilac, orange, and dazzling blue spots. They
breed and perch in tropical or subtropical environments such as soggy
marsh timberlands.
2. STRESEMANN'S BRISTLEFRONT
(MERULAXIS STRESEMANNI)
The New Zealand rock wren isn't the most ideal flyer, it can barely
oversee in excess of 7 feet off the ground or distances of in excess of
100 feet! They bounce and run in an extremely strange manner as they
weave their heads and flick their wings.
They have long strong legs, making them great stone climbers. They
can get by in high elevations, with snow all year, up to a level of 1000
feet. Rock wrens eat principally spineless creatures starting from the
earliest stage, well as berries, seeds, and nectar from flax blossoms.
You could have seen these fowls at the zoo yet those are really cross
breeds.
Ornithologist Rafael Bessa heard a strange bird call, recorded it, and
when he played it back, found that it was the Blue-looked at Ground-
Dove. Shockingly, they have not terminated all things considered.
Named for their shining blue eyes which match the spots on their
wings, the purplish blue is a striking difference from the remainder of
their mud-tarnish red plumage.
6. CEBU FLOWERPECKER (DICAEUM
QUADRICOLOR)
Found only in the Cebu Islands in the Philippines, these birds were
thought to be extinct due to the disappearance of their habitat. But in
1992 they popped up again in a small limestone forest in the Central
Cebu Protected Landscape.
There are only 105 Cebu Flowerpeckers in the world. A great effort is
now made to conserve them.
