Animal Facts:

The Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops) is one of the most eye-catching birds in the world, with its cinnamon-colored body, striking black-and-white wings, and a tall, fan-shaped crest. Its signature call, "oop-oop-oop," is as charming as its appearance! Found across Europe, Asia, and Africa, this bird is a master traveler, migrating to warmer regions during colder months.

Known for its undulating flight, resembling a giant butterfly, the hoopoe is a solitary forager, using its long, curved bill to probe the soil for insects and larvae. Fun fact: the hoopoe’s name is believed to come from its call or from the French word "huppée," meaning "crested."

Culturally significant, the hoopoe has been celebrated in ancient Egyptian art, Persian poetry, and even the Quran. It’s also the national bird of Israel! Beyond its beauty, this bird has a clever defense mechanism—producing a smelly secretion to repel predators. Truly, the Eurasian Hoopoe is both fascinating and fabulous!
