There are a vast number of different bird species, and here we hope to provide you with interesting information on a number of these.

We’ll help you with the different classifications of bird species, provide you with information on wild birds, pet birds and birds of prey, as well as your every day garden bird.

We also have a category about the different types of birds you get all over the world. So be sure to visit her regularly, as we will continually be adding more content and articles.

    This morning I obeserved a bird that I have never seen before. It was about the size of a robin and had a red breast. On his back he had a v shaped yellow patch approximately at his neck. From the point of the v of yellow the feathers appeared to be purple. Can you help me identify this bird? I live in central Texas.

    There is a bird in my back yard, and its head is naked looking, and its feathers are grayish-blackish with white poka-dots. It reminds me of a chicken. In my back yard there is a beach so maybe it has something to do with that as well. I am very curious to find out what it is.

    What kinda of bird is this?
    I saw it in my backyard, its body was completely bright red, its head was black like leather, and its beak was bright orange/red.

    This morning we saw a bird at the golf couse that we didn’t recognise. It was grazing with the Canada Geese near the lake but not mixing with them. In fact it tried to chase them off. It was about the size of a Canada Goose but was a sort of goldy buff/grey colour all over. It had a white head with a slight lemony tinge and a short beak. It stood upright like a heron but had pink legs, and I mean pink, not red or orange. It was beatiful and obviously a stranger to our area which is on the south coast. We’d love to know what it could be. Any suggestions? We’ve looked through all the birds on the RSPB site and it’s none of those so not a British bird.

    Hi i was wondering if anyone can help me I have these birds yes i said birds that are nesting in my trees i dont mind them but i am curious what they are description as much as possible …….they have a finch like beak thier eyes seem to change in colour depending on the reflextion of the sun some times they look blue sometimes pinkish thier plumage is two colours grey brown under the wings and darker grey wings and head but the head and wings relect a green tinge to them. The other unusual thing is the noise they make when something comes near the nest or if they feel threatened is like a hiss. They seem to be friendly to humans once they realize you are not going to hurt them even to the extent of sitting at the door waiting for scraps of bread or meat any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    Hi everyone! We just found a bird in our backyard and I was wondering if someone could tell me what type of bird it is. It’s a dark gray, but underneath the bird is a green/blue color. It has copper eyes and it’s beak looks like a parrot’s beak. I also live in Hawaii and it’s definitely a pet bird since it’s wings were cut and has a band around its left leg.

    Please reply back, thanks!

    I have seen an abundance of Robins this year, (I live in Bayville, NJ) sometimes 11/12 at a time and it’s February. Thought it to be very unusual for this time of year as I thought they migrated (as per their name). Can you explain this anomoly???

  20. i am a fifth grader and today after school when i was walking home i found this baby bird, and when i came close to it it did not fly away.so i thought it was hurt so i ran to my house to go get a shoe box. so i got a pencil out of my backpack and poked holes.then i went back to the place where the bird was and i caught the bird.i was so excited that i caught it.and then when i got home i gave it some rice that wasn’t cooked yet and gave it some water.a couple of minutes past then it was well enough to fly away.
