20 Exotic Birds That Seem to Have Come From Another Planet
In southern Africa, we can find this green bird with red eyes. It weighs just over half a pound and has a length of 15 to 17 inches. It is easily distinguishable thanks to its greenish plumage with its blue-tipped wings and tail. That is, of course, besides its beautiful plume with black and white tips, and eyes that seem to have been outlined in white. It feeds mainly on fruit.
