The essence of scarcity in rare birds makes them beautiful. Rare birds are hard to find and unique in every aspect. They are endangered, too, because exotic pet traders and poachers target them. They have a market value that makes them prone to danger. Rare birds must be protected so the coming generations can experience their beauty and exoticism. Let’s discover some of the most beautiful birds in existence.
Kakapo
Kakapo is a flightless parrot only found in New Zealand, and it’s the only one of its kind. You may learn more about rare birds at LearnBirdWatching.com! It’s more like how their brown and mossy green colors camouflage them when creeping across the ground to look for seeds, pine cones, flowers, and fruits. This parrot is nocturnal, which makes it very unique in addition to being flightless. It is unusual for birds to form leks during the breeding season, which happens with the kakapo males. During the mating season, kakapo males are used to digging hollows and then calling the females to these hollows. Kakapo has no natural predators despite it being flightless. However, they have been moved to certain islands for protection from humans and rats.Â
Golden Pheasant
The Golden pheasant is a rare and beautiful bird native to the west side of China. The male is 35 to 41 inches long with breathtaking beauty. It has a mottled tail that makes up for part of that length. It also has a molten gold rump and chest with a bright red body and a cape that is tiger striped. The female is duller, making them seem like a different species from the males. The tail of the female is much shorter. Breeding of golden pheasants happens in captivity, and they mutate into different colors, including mahogany, peach, cinnamon, splash, and silver.Â
Madagascar Pochard
Madagascar Pochard is so rare that it was once considered extinct. However, some years back, they were found swimming in Lake Matsaborimena. Humans breed it, and it does not seem to have any known subspecies. This bad is rare and endangered. It eats insects, and it swims in shallow waters only. The ducks’ population has declined since a particular fish was introduced. This fish destroyed the nets and killed the chicks. Its habitat was later converted into rice paddies, making it prone to extinction.Â
Cebu Flowerpecker
Cebu flowerpecker’s colors do not look real because they are pretty rare in birds. The males have yellow, black, blue, and red colors with a white belly and throat. It is found in the Philippines. It was once believed to be extinct until found in a limestone forest on Cebu Island. It is termed one of the most endangered species, and is, therefore, a really rare sight to see.
