Humans like to wear various decorations on their heads, such as hats, crowns, hairpins, etc., but they are much inferior to birds. The bird’s crown has a variety of shapes and bright colors, which is amazing.
Blooming sunflower
The small sunflower-crested cockatoo is white all over, but with yellow feathers standing upward on the top of its head. The roots stand up when alert, like a blooming sunflower, hence the name.
Growing woods on the head
The blue crested dove is a close relative of the pigeon, but the appearance is more beautiful than the pigeon, and the body is much larger than the pigeon. The body length is 70 cm and the weight is 2 kg, which is almost the same size as a turkey. It has a pale blue crest, like a coniferous forest.
Bird crests can be divided into feather crests, horned crests, and flesh crests. A crest is a crown formed by feathers, and a horned crown is a crown formed by bone. The texture of the fleshy crown is the same as that of ordinary skin. There are the most types of crests and the most abundant color forms, while there are fewer types with horned crests, such as hornbills and guinea fowls. Meat crests are mostly found on the heads of chickens and turkeys.
I have a small round fan
The winged umbrella bird is a unique bird in South America, among which the winged umbrella bird of Guyana is also the national bird of Peru. They are bright in color, have a flat round crown, connected to the beak, like a small round fan pinned to the head.
Pretending to be a little eagle
The eagle-headed parrot is also a bird that lives in South America. Its crest looks like an Indian headdress. Made of eagle feathers.
Spotted feather folding fan
The king flycatcher is a species of bird, distributed in North and South America. The male King Flycatcher has a very gorgeous red and yellow crest, which spreads out like a horizontal folding fan, with black spots dotted on it, which is very unique.
A clump of dead weeds
The black-crowned crane is the national bird of the African country Nigeria. The overall feather color is gray-black, but there are many slender khaki down feathers on the top of the head. It looks like a bunch of withered weeds on the head, but it looks elegant and chic from a distance, It’s a precious ornamental bird in the zoo.
A pair of big yellow eyebrows
Macaroni penguins mainly live in the Antarctic. Like other penguins, they have strong diving skills. But the “yellow eyebrows” on the head of the Marconi penguin are very eye-catching. In fact, they are just orange feathers that grow between the foreheads for decoration.
Long crown with big sharp angle
The hornbill is also a peculiar and precious bird, with a large head and a small body, and a very long mouth that can occupy half of the entire head. There is a bony protrusion on the top of its head connected to the beak, which looks like a rhino corn, so it is called hornbill.
