Hoopoe, Pitta and Oriole at London zoo

Rainy out, no birds to spot? Come here and watch these cute little birds.

Three Small Clips of Birds at the Zoo.

My favorite birds here are the little hooded pitta.

They look like little bandits on a rescue mission. The rarest species in

these clips is the Montserrat Oriole. They only live on the tiny island

of Montserrat, and are critically endangered. The other bird in these

clips is the beautiful Wood Hoopoe. The complexity of the colours in

it's plumage are too hard to describe!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cute Diver. Despite being an uninvited guest in the penguin pool
