A cute bird photographed in its natural habitat. The Hoopoe, scientific name Upopa Epops, is from the Upupidae family. It is a bird with short legs, a long and slightly curved beak, and a long triangular tail. Its color varies from pink to light dirty yellow, its comb is more orange and its tips are black. It likes open, short-vegetated and sparsely planted areas. It is also seen in fruit and olive gardens, open forest areas. It is an insectivorous, carnivorous bird. It hunts by waddling on the ground, takes off suddenly and flies away with a long, calm and wavy flight. The Hoopoe, which also makes its nest in piles of animal feces, creates a foul-smelling environment that threats from outside cannot withstand.
