Snake or bird? #birding

[Science girl @sciencegirl]

This bird you're seeing is the Eurasian wryneck, a woodpecker known for its ability to mimic a forest snake.

Black crested titmouse

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

A black-crested titmouse collects fur from a fox snoozing in the sunshine outside a den. Fox fur makes a nice, soft nest lining.

In the dense mountain forests of New Caledonia, on the forest floor lives an almost flightless and endangered bird called the kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus)
