A few years ago @biologist wrote a post about most beautiful birds of the world. This theme inspired me and I want supplement it.

There are so many beautiful birds on the planet, they are large, small, monochrome or multicoloured, they are fantastic. Here is a list of some most amazing birds.

1. Loriinae or Lories

They are small, brightly colored parrots. They live in Australia, New Guinea, eastern Indonesia and Philippines. They feed mainly by pollen and nectar, as well as soft, juicy fruits. Their tongue ends with a brush of horny papillae. With their help, birds suck out the juice from the fruits and the nectar from flowers.

2. Northern cardinal

Atlantic puffins, also known as the common puffins, are seabirds. They spend most of their time in the sea, rocking on waves. At sea, puffin swims on the surface and feeds mainly on small fish, which it catches by diving under water, using its wings for propulsion. Atlantic puffins live on the coasts of Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

I think this bird should take first place in the ranking of the most beautiful birds. This bird is fantastic. Looking at it can't stop wondering how beautiful our world is. Peacock is a very large bird. And its unique feature is the tail, which it can dissolve like a fan. Peacocks live in Sri Lanka, in India, Pakistan and Nepal.
