Birds never ... fly
These rare animals in the wild belong to the bird family but are deprived of the privilege of being a wingspan flying in the sky.
1. Bird Takahe
The bird was found only in New Zealand and was thought to be extinct until a few individuals were found near Lake Te Anau at Murchison Mountain. With a length of about 63 cm, this is the largest bird of the Rallidae family, strong legs and large ' unusual ' beak. Currently, there are only about 225 children living in the conservation area and protection measures are enhanced to avoid the risk of extinction of the species. However, the slow development process and low fertility is a huge problem threatening this rare bird.
2. Penguins
Penguins are no stranger to us and although they cannot fly, they are a good swimmer with a quick stride. Penguin species live mainly in cold climates in the southern hemisphere. Currently, it is estimated that there are about 20 species of penguins. The largest is the Emperor penguin, while the smallest one is the Green amphibian . The favorite food of penguins is fish, squid and other marine creatures they find when swimming in the water.
3. Kiwi bird
This is a native bird of New Zealand and is considered a national symbol. Only about 5 species belong to this breed. The Kiwi are very small, so they are quite shy and nocturnal. You can only see them during the day in conservation areas reserved for these rare birds. They have a very good sense of smell and are a special species with nostrils at the end of the beak.
4. Ostrich
This is the largest species on the list and also the only species that lives in the herd. Ostrich can be said to be a super fast 'racer' with speeds up to 46m / h. The brain of this bird is very small so they often do quite crazy things. Do not be foolish but come near this bird because they are big and quite aggressive with the kick 'dangerously '.
5. Odd Cassowary cat head
Although smaller than ostrich species, the breed of Cassowary cat in Australia is also an unusual 'big' bird. Their main food is fruits and other crops. This is also a very dangerous and very dangerous bird but they are not extinct not long ago.
6. Rhea bird
A native bird native to South America, Rhea birds have very large wings and often spread their wings when running. Only two species of this genus are American Rhea and Rhea Darwin. They take 6 months to mature but only when they are 2 years old, they start the breeding and breeding process.
7. Kakapo bird
This is a very popular bird breed in New Zealand with many ancient fossils found everywhere. However, the Kakapo bird is in danger of extinction so many conservation plans are being rushed to prevent this potential danger. The good sign is that recently the number of species has increased significantly. This is a nocturnal bird so it is not surprising that the meaning of the name Kakapo means ' Night Owl '. In addition, with a lot of parrot-like traits, they have another name called ' Parrot Owl' .
8. Emu bird
This is the largest native bird in Australia with a height of up to 2m, they are also a great driver with a maximum speed of 30m / h although still poorly compared to ostrich breeds. They live in a very good environmental condition and hardly have any threats at all. There are about 3 different bird species belonging to this breed in Australia.
9. Galapagos Cormorant
This is because they are native birds on Galapagos Island near Ecuador. This is the only bird in the cormorant that loses its ability to fly and live primarily underwater and on land. Their favorite food is fish, eels, baby octopus and other small sea creatures. The breeding season for Galapagos cormorants usually begins in the cold months from July to October because then they are guaranteed a plentiful source of food. Only about 1,500 animals remain in the wild, so the risk of extinction of this species is also very high.
10. Campbell Ducks
There are two unidentified mallards, Auckland mallards and Campbell mallards . Campbell ducks are foraging at night. They often eat insects and crustaceans. This duck species found on Campbell Island should be named after the island.
So far Campbell duck is in danger of extinction and scientists are conducting research to preserve and maintain the development of this rare duck.
11. Titicaca diving bird
This lovely bird is found in Peru and Bolivia, living mainly on Lake Titicaca . Although they cannot fly, this bird can swim quite quickly and catch small fish as prey. Titicaca birds are reduced by thousands of individuals due to the hunting of fishermen.
12. Weka Bird
This unknown bird is famous for its temperament and curiosity. They often hear more than they look. And like pandas, the Weka bird is known for stealing food , then finding another shelter to explore.
13. Birds catch flies to Guam
This bird has quite a large number on Guam . Since they often fly on the ground, they are less able to resist predators. That's why in the 1960s, when the brown snake snakes appeared on the island, the number of these birds has decreased significantly. And by 1983, this bird was completely extinct .
14. Inaccessible birds
Inaccessible Island located in the South Atlantic has a special bird that attracts many visitors. The bird lives around large cliffs on the island and is considered to be the world's smallest flying bird. They often roam the pastures and search for insects and insects as food.
