The Hoopoe Bird

Hoopoe is a rose-buff colored bird with a showy crest of feathers on its head and black and white bars on its wing and tail. The hoopoe is slightly larger than an American robin. It lives in the warmer regions of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Hoopoes nest is holes in trees, walls, and rocks. The female lays five to seven white eggs. The male feeds the female while she incubates the eggs. Hoopoes eat insects and spend much time on the ground searching for food. When threatened by other animals, such as hawks, hoopoes flatten themselves on the ground with their wings and tail spread and bill pointed upward.
