Exotic Birds That Seem to Have Come From Another Planet
The animal kingdom is full of very diverse species that brighten up our planet with their colors and surprise us with the way they behave. However, there are animals that seem to have arrived from other planets due to their unique and unpredictable characteristics, which never cease to amaze human beings.
1. Red-cheeked cordon-bleu
This small turquoise bird, also known as the “red-cheeked cordon-bleu,” due to the intense red color of the male’s cheeks. Females have a slightly lighter plumage, and this is how they can be easily told apart. They are found in the east and center of Africa, including countries like Somalia, Mauritania, and Angola.
