Most birds are beautiful because of their beautiful feathers. There are many birds in nature with different colors and beautiful feathers and they always stand out from other birds. They blend in skillfully and even make a name for themselves in the bird world with their unique colorful coats. So, not only bird watchers but also us common people love them.
Among them are these beautiful birds named Bushshrike. Beautiful Bushshrike birds belong to the Malaconotidae family. They are native to the African continent of Angola, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Zambia and coastal areas of Kenya and Tanzania.
This amazing forest bird has a red throat, black chest band and yellow belly. In addition, its back, wings and tail are beautifully covered in olive green. This cloak makes this species look like dark knights.
The male and female of this species are quite similar in appearance, but the female has a narrow chest band. Young birds are olive-green in color with a yellow throat, but lack the decorative underparts that adults have.
This species mainly preys on insects and other small animals and prefers to live in thickets or open forests.
When the breeding season begins, these females build nests in thorn bushes a meter or two above the ground. The nest is made of branches and roots, so it is very weak. She then lays 4 eggs in her nest and incubates them until the chicks are fully grown.
The special thing is that both men and women are involved in parenting.
The population of these birds is very stable. They are now considered Least Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
