Being beautiful is not just a pursuit unique to us human beings. Many species in nature are pursuing this ultimate beauty, such as these six cute birds you will see next. Which one do you think is the prettiest?
1. Blue Jay
The blue jay has been studied and examined as one of the most graceful and dazzling birds in the world. The bluebird is mostly black, it has a white body bore with a blue crest underneath, its collar is black and shaped, and black behind the border.
The size and plumage of males and females do not vary throughout the year. Four subspecies were identified. Blue jays mainly feed on seeds and nuts, such as corn, which they can hide and eat later.
2. Peacock
Peacocks are the largest of all flying birds. (Ostrich, emu, and other such birds are larger but cannot fly.) The beautiful feathers that cover the peacock's tail are 5 feet (1.5 meters) long, longer than the bird's body, and display brilliant colors in a spectacular fan.
These long feathers actually grow from the back of the bird rather than the tail. They elevate them by raising the much shorter tail feathers below them. There are two types of peacocks in the world: one is the blue peacock and the other is the green peacock. Some people have also seen the white peacock, which is not a natural variety, but artificially bred. So strictly speaking, there are only two kinds of peacocks.
3. Hyacinth Macaw
The hyacinth macaw is probably the most stunning, and certainly the largest, in the parrot family. Their bodies are covered with dark blue feathers. Although the feather is blue when crushed, it is black. This is due to how light interacts with feathers and creates a blue appearance.
Around the eyes and at the base of the beak is a piece of bare skin that is yellow in color. This distinguishes them from other macaws with large, bare patches around their eyes. The hyacinth macaw lives primarily in the bushes on the outskirts of tropical rainforests, although its large range also includes grasslands and areas with a bit of forest. It is an endangered species - an estimated 2,500 to 5,000 hyacinth macaws remain in the wild today.
4. Golden Pheasant
Golden Pheasant is a kind of pheasant, which is the collective name of the White-bellied Golden Pheasant and Red-bellied Golden Pheasant. It is a game bird of the order Galliformes and Phasianidae. Adult males are 90–105 cm in length. The tail is 2/3 of its length. The golden crown, hips and red body are unmistakable. The dark orange "cloak" can appear as an alternating scallop of black and orange, covering the entire face, except for the buff eyes of the pupils with precise black.
5. Wilson Bird of Paradise
One of the peculiar creations is Wilson's bird of paradise, but it offers soothing pleasure to the eyes, which also has ointments for its magnificence of beauty. Wilson's bird of paradise is relatively small. The male is a red and black bird of paradise with a yellow mantle, light green bill, rich blue feet, and two purple curved tail feathers on the neck. The head is bare in blue and the pattern is black with a double cross. The female is brown with a bare blue head.
6. Australian Rainbow Parrot
Australian Rainbow Parrot is a medium-sized colorful parrot found in Australia. Its head is dark blue, its neck is yellow-green, and the rest of its upper parts (wings, back, and tail) are green. The body part is orange/yellow. The abdomen is dark blue, and the thighs and buttocks are green. In flight, the yellow wing strips contrast with the red underwing coverts.
Males and females of this species are similar in appearance, with juveniles having black beaks that gradually brighten to orange as adults. Australian Rainbow Parrots are social, active, and noisy birds. They often travel together in pairs, occasionally responding to a call to fly in swarms, then disperse in pairs again. They are territorial, and each pair actively protects its own feeding and nesting areas against other rainbow lorikeets and other birds.
