23 Birds So Perfect They Dont Seem Real

Observing birds in nature is not such an easy task, as we can hardly find their nests, and they are always in motion, which greatly reduces our observation time. So, you can already get an idea that, if bird watching is not so easy, taking a picture is even more difficult. Just thinking about angles, light, shadow, etc., gives you an idea that this is a job that requires a lot of observation and patience.

Malayan Banded Pitta (Hydrornis irena): The banded pittas, Hydrornis (guajana) spp., are a group of birds in the Pittidae family that were formerly lumped as a single species, the Banded Pitta. They are found in forest in the Thai-Malay Peninsula and the Greater Sundas. This recently split species is listed as Near Threatened on the basis that the continued destruction of its habitats and capture for the illegal bird trade are suspected to be driving a moderately rapid decline in its population. Further research is required into the impact of these threats, the results of which could influence its Red List status.
