Late one tonight! Birds can learn other languages. Studies on the Australian Fairy Wren showed that they can learn key calls (such as danger calls) of other species.

@Matt_Pinner Hello!

[The Bird Feed @thebirdfeed]

There was a raven at the Tower of London called Merlin’s who when bored, played dead to get attention from tourists, who would run screaming to the nearest Beefeater. This demonstrates that not only are corvids really smart, but also they have a sense of humour!

If a group of penguins is in the water, it's called a raft. However, if a group of penguins is on land, then it's called a waddle.

Kiwi lay large eggs for their size. A Kiwi's egg is around 6x bigger than those of other birds of similar size. They don't look after their chicks once hatched - I'd feel like doing that if I'd laid an enormous egg...

@Aintright_bl9 @Natures_Voice I love the shades and tones in Terry’s feathers! He’s a handsome chap!

The White Bellbird is the world’s loudest bird. Its squawk hits volumes of 125 decibels, the same as a pneumatic drill! I’m not sure if it’s as loud as my children when they argue.
