FEATHERY FRIDAY# 30
Woohoo, we’ve made it to Friday and you know what that means! It’s time to meet another feathery friend! We met a bird who lives by the shore yesterday and today we’re heading to the rainforests of South America! We’re going way up in the canopy again, so pull on your zipline gear and let’s go! Wheeeeeeeee…
MEET THE SHARPBILL!
Range/Habitat: South America/ rainforest
Diet: Omnivore: insects, fruits, invertebrates
Length: 6 ½”
Conservation Status: Common
Fun Facts:
- Sharpbills have long sharp pointy beaks.
- Sharpbills are rarely seen.
- They are a small stocky bird.
- Sharpbills have bright orange-red eyes.
- They have a scaly face.
- They are known to travel in flocks of other birds.
We think Sharpbills are just so beautiful. There is not much known about these little shy birds! It’s hard for scientist to learn about animals that live in the canopy of the rainforest, because it is not easy to access. If you could spend your life way high up in the trees would you?
