optimal hornbill
Bird #76 - Eurasian hoopoe (LC)
These are one of my favourite birds! I saw one as a child and tiny me didn't realise birds could look like that (I called it a woodpecker at the time lol). They do an adorable little 'hoop hoop hoop' call which I need everyone to see (youtube link).
(It's been a long time since our last bird! this was just a little destressor in the middle of burnout but next week I'll be free!!)

yes i'm still doing these!! i wasn't able to finish them all before my final exam (got an A+ in the class tho yay!!) so i wanted to take a breather before finishing them afterwards. also i totally got thrown into lamin research like right after the semester ended so i've been BUSY!!!
anyways, last two are accipitriformes and passeriformes. recommended me some passeriformes to include so that i can try to capture the diversity of the order!!!
Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
For the helmeted hornbill, safety always comes first-- that's why these birds have their own 'helmets'! Males compete for females by headbutting each other in mid-air, and their heads are protected by large, bony structures called casques that protrude from the beak. In most hornbills the casque is hollow, but for the helmeted hornbill it's completely solid, making up 11% of the bird's total weight!
