How well do you know... birds? Do you know all about them? Take a few minutes to learn more about the world of birds and read our selection.
Did you know that some birds on Earth are poisonous? No? Now you know, too.
Science knows 6 species of poisonous birds. Five of them are thrushes and flycatchers. They live in New Guinea and called "Picachu".
The poison in these birds (batrachotoxin) is on the body and it is very dangerous. If it gets on the skin of a person, it causes numbness and sometimes burns, and if inhaled, there will be a strong cough and spasms of breathing.
Of course, for smaller animals, this poison is fatal. From the word-completely.

But let's turn away from dangerous birds and move on to record-breaking birds and inventors.
Gulls never drink fresh water and are content with sea water. All because nature has created their tonsils capable of filtering salt from even very salty water.
There are 10,694 bird species on Earth.
Birds ' feathers weigh more than their skeletal bones.
In France, pigeons are called "flying rats".
Forest birds cannot be fed bread - they die from it.
Sparrows see the world in pink because of the structure of their eyes.
The woodpecker has the longest tongue among birds, as it uses it to get larvae and beetles out from under the bark of trees.
The snake-eater is a diving bird that can stay underwater for tens of minutes while foraging for food.
The peregrine Falcon is the fastest of the birds. Its speed is 360 km/h.
The most intelligent and inventive of birds is the crow. They are not only better at learning human speech than parrots, and also imitate technology and animals, but also like to have fun. So they often ride down from the domes of churches or play hide-and-seek with each other.
Also, crows will never eat stale breadcrumbs, but will drag them to the nearest puddle to soak them.
Even the birds are listening to odd behavior. So a bald eagle often flies ... upside down. Why does he do this?
Sometimes during the flight, this bird can resort to an unexpected maneuver - turn over on its back upside down and fly further in this way.
Ornithologists suggest that there are several explanations for this: the eagle uses its paws to repel attacks from above, or it is a way to please the female eagle. Like, look how good I am!
