Birds are the only animals that have feathers, and are warm-blooded vertebrates. While all birds boast wings, not all have the power to fly (such as ostriches and penguins).
Spheniscidae
With sophisticated modes of speech, extraordinary displays of parental devotion and an uncanny ability to power nap, the penguin is one our most cherished but endangered birds – and full of surprises.
Psittaciformes
Parrots are loud, raucous birds, famous for their bright colourful plumage, fierce intelligence, and ability to mimic human speech. Parrots are extremely social animals and live surprisingly long lives for their size. Some even use tools to prise open nuts and display intelligence comparable to chimpanzees.
