Hoopoes are colourful birds found across Africa, Asia, and Europe, notable for their distinctive "crown" of feathers.

Nesting: The nest of a Eurasian Hoopoe is in a cavity, often an old woodpecker hole or other tree cavity, but they will also use cavities in man-made structures. The nest is typically lined with soft materials such as feathers and plant fibers. The female lays anywhere between 3 and 11 eggs. She alone incubates the eggs, but both parents help tend to and feed the young after they hatch. They typically produce 2 or 3 broods per breeding season.
