With its colourful plumage in red, black, yellowish brown and white, the grey phalarope is a fascinating wader. The female is the largest and most colourful of the sexes. The male incubates the eggs and rears the young. Meanwhile, the female may mate with other males and lay another clutch of eggs in a new nest. Watching the grey phalarope is a great pleasure, as it swims about in small ponds kicking up prey items (insect larvae and crustaceans) with its feet. In Svalbard the grey phalarope breeds in pairs or in small colonies throughout most of the archipelago. They migrate south starting in mid-July.
The Svalbard rock ptarmigan is the largest terrestrial bird overwintering in Svalbard and is widespread in most of the archipelago. Greatest densities are found in central areas of Spitsbergen where plant production is highest. The Svalbard rock ptarmigan is an endemic sub-species of rock ptarmigan. The male (cock) establishes a territory in March–April, which it protects through creating a diversion and making a burping sound. Males can often be spotted sitting on a rock or high ground guarding its territory. The female (hen) lays the 9-11 eggs within the territory. As soon as the chicks are hatched, they leave the nest and start wandering about. They are capable of flying after 10-12 days, but stay with the hen for another 10-12 weeks.

The popular and beautiful Green-winged Macaw which is also known as Red-and-green Macaw of South America
is the most common of the large macaws in the wild. In recent years there has been a marked decline in its
numbers due to habitat loss and illegal capture for the pet trade. A Green-winged Macaw is a high maintenance
pet; it is expensive to purchase, adopt or maintain. It is also demanding, and extremely loud and noisy cage birds.
Flamingo Gardens. Davie, Florida. Here we have a pond full of Flamingos. I think the Flamingo is one of the most beautiful birds in the world. They look so graceful and have such a brilliant color.
Hailing from the pheasant family, these exotic birds are cherished for their colourful plumes and eggs. The peacocks, more appropriately called peafowls, (peacock refers to the male) are found in lowland forests and hills usually in small groups consisting of one male and several females.
Peafowls are long-legged birds. The male, known as the peacock, has a blue head with green and purple highlights and a crown-like tuft. Its face has white stripes and the back is green and blue with black undersides. The extraordinarily long tails of males have strong shafts and magnificent colours and extend far beyond the tail, which has twenty feathers. They form a train with oscillate designs and the fan is supported by hidden tail feathers which are much shorter. The primary feathers and tail are of chestnut colour and the train is green with bronze and is covered with blue and green spots that appear to be eyes. The females look quite dowdy in comparison. They do not have the train but have a crown-like tuft.
Though they can fly strongly for short distances, peafowls rarely fly. They are terrestrial and roost at nights.
Omnivorous by nature, they obtain most of their food by scratching the leaf litter with their strong feet. They eat anything from seeds, grains to small reptiles. They enjoy eating young cobras.
Peafowls are polygamous and live in small families. Interestingly the mating season of peacocks coincides with the monsoon season in India. During monsoons, the male and female let out a meowing call which is commonly interpreted as `minh- ao�, which means there will be rain. With the onset of the mating season, the male displays its full trail of feathers to the females. After mating, the peahen makes a nest in the underbush and lays 4 to 8 eggs, which are incubated for about 28 days. The young ones are watched over by the peahen until they can take care of themselves.
Known for their fierce, lively and courageous tempers, the males do not get along with one another and when faced with danger the peafowls become very aggressive.
There are three types of peafowls. The Indian or blue peafowl, the green peafowl of Burma and IndoChina and a rare and aberrant form, the Congo peacock, found in the forests of Congo basin in Africa.
Several myths and legends have been spun around these elegant birds. Peacocks can be traced back to ancient Greek and Roman mythologies. It was supposed to be the favourite bird of Goddess Juno. In India, peacocks are associated with Lord Krishna and Karthikeyan.

“The peacock is one of the most beautiful birds in the world.
We think of the peacock as a thoroughly masculine bird, proud,
showing of, flamboyant and aggressive. We accuse him of
strutting proudly, even referring to him when displaying as
being ‘in his pride’."
Here is a collection of 17 most beautiful birds in the world .
About the names:1. Eurasian Bee-eater (Merops apiaster). Common bir in my zone. It nest in holes and feed sin insects. Migratory.2. Lilac-breasted Roller (Coracias caudata). As all rollers, it have magnificient colour. It's an African bird that feeds in insects.3. Eurasian kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) As many of the kingfishers it have delightful colours. It's a common bird in the rivers of my zone. It feeds in fishes.4. Chinese Green Magpie (Cissa chinensis). A very beautiful crow, from China. I never saw any alive only a stuffed specimen.5. Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii). A tropical sea-bird that lives in big colonies and eat fishes.6. Monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus). A sociable parrot that makes very big communal nests. It's frost hardy, so, although originated from Argentina, now is widespread in many zones of the world. It's very common in my city. Feeds in fruits and seeds.7,8,9: I don't know what concrete species of white-eye is it. White eyes (genus Zosterops) are a very big genus with many, many species, most of them are very similar. I saw a pair of Japanese white-eyes (Zosterops japonica) caged in a street during a travel. They're tiny birds that feeds in insects an nectar from flowers.10: Hoopoe (Upupa epops). This species is very well known. Widespread in all the Old Wordl, modern taxonomist says that maybe could be considered three species of Hoopoe: the Eurasian (Upupa epops), the African (Upupa africana) and the Madagascan (Upupa marginata). But majority of people considere it as sole sub-species of the Hoopoe, the only member of the family Upupidae. It's a not rare bird, very unmistakable, partially migratory, it feeds in insects.
