Birds

The hummingbird is a small and beautiful bird. Nature itself created such a miniature creature. It's not just its diminutive size that's striking, but also its lifestyle and its determined character.

This amazing creature is also called the “bee hummingbird,” and this is justified by the fact that its body length is 7 centimeters, and its weight is just over 2 grams.

Turkey breeding is very popular today on poultry farms and in private households. This is due to the high-quality meat of these birds and their dietary properties. In the 1960s, a new turkey breed was developed in the United States, which quickly became popular among poultry farmers.

Anyone who's ever built a birdhouse probably knows whether the starling is a migratory bird or not. These feathered harbingers of spring begin settling into their nests in late March. And even if winter drags on in their homeland, the inclement weather doesn't deter them. They chirp merrily, even in the snow.
