"Keel-billed toucan" - (Ramphastos Sulfuratus) is a species of toucans from the genus Ramphastos. Area: The rainbow toucan is found in tropical rainforests from southern Mexico to northern Colombia and northeastern Venezuela. It occurs up to a height of 1900 meters. Birds mainly feed on fruits, less often on insects, tree frogs, and in complete starvation even on chicks of other bird species. Rainbow toucans very rarely look for food on the ground, mostly they find it high in the crowns of trees.

Terumi Arai - Terumi Arai - "Japanese grosbeak”. I used acrylic paint, cut paper, and Photoshop to create my artwork.
Japanese grosbeak (Eophona personata) or Ikaru is a finch that lives in the Eastern Palearctic. It is also sometimes referred to as Japanese hawthorn or disguised hawthorn due to its superficial resemblance to well-known Eurasian species. Wintering down in Hebei and Beijing, uncommonly ranging south towards North Korea. The nominate race occurs in Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu and is not as seasonally migratory but does wander considerably during winter, largely in pursuit of food sources. The Japanese grosbeak is locally common, occasionally being abundant around prime feeding areas. It occurs in deciduous or mixed forests. More commonly, it is a bird of valleys rather than hillsides. This species also turns up in woods and groves of oak and birch and well-wooded parks and gardens. The species may winter on the edge of cultivated areas. The Japanese grosbeak usually occurs in pairs or small flocks. Behaviorally, it can be deceptively secretive, often staying hidden in foliage near the tree canopy. However, its location may regularly be betrayed by its voice.

Kha.illust Art - Kha.illust Art - "White stork"
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a large bird from the stork family Ciconiidae. Its plumage is mostly white, with black wings. Adults have long red legs and long, pointed red bills, and measure on average 100–115 cm (39–45 in) from bill tip to tail tip, with a wingspan of 155–215 cm (61–85 in). Two subspecies, which differ slightly in size, breed in Europe (north to Finland), northwest Africa, southwest Asia (east to southern Kazakhstan), and southern Africa. The white stork is a long-distance migrant wintering in Africa from tropical sub-Saharan Africa to as far south as South Africa or the Indian subcontinent. Migrating between Europe and Africa, it avoids crossing the Mediterranean and detours through the Levant in the east or the Strait of Gibraltar in the west because the air thermals on which it depends for soaring do not form over water.

Tina Kapri - Tina Kapri - "Oriental dwarf kingfisher" - Drawn with the mouse in Adobe Illustrator.
1. Bright colorful gradients and noise are used here. Adding noise is a common technique in vector illustrations. It is used to create volume or enhance vibration. In this work, I tried to create a bright image with a little vibration.
2. Lineart style. Pretty fashionable now style in illustration and graphic design. But I used this style with some deviations. In its purest form, the silhouette usually consists of just one line, swirling intricately into a certain image, and is often complemented by splashes of color in an abstract form.
3. I had a reference with an abstract picture, which was drawn according to the principle of dividing objects into color sectors. I just took this principle as a basis, and decided to try the same in my illustration. For me it was pure improvisation, but I really enjoyed working with this style. Maybe I will use it in my future work.
4.The fourth picture is drawn in a modern flat style. A monochrome palette is used here.
The eastern pygmy kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a pocket bird in the Alcedinidae family. This tropical kingfisher is a partial migrant endemic to much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It lives in lowland forests, usually near streams or ponds, where it feeds on insects, spiders, worms, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards. This small bird is easily distinguished from other birds in its range by its red bill, yellow-orange underparts, lilac-red upperparts, and blue-black back.

The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is a large red, yellow, and blue Central and South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called macaws. In some areas, it has suffered local extinction because of habitat destruction, or capture for the parrot trade, but in other areas, it remains fairly common. It is the national bird of Honduras. Like its relative the blue-and-yellow macaw, the scarlet macaw is a popular bird in aviculture as a result of its striking plumage.
Kiwi (bird) - are flightless birds endemic to New Zealand of the order Apterygiformes. The five extant species fall into the family Apterygidae and genus Apteryx Approximately the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites (which also include ostriches, emus, rheas and cassowaries).

"Great bustard" - a large bird of the woodpecker family (Otididae), the only representative of its kind. It breeds in Central and Southern Europe, where it is the largest bird species, and in most of temperate Asia. European populations are usually sedentary, while Asian populations migrate south in winter. It is one of the largest birds of Ukraine. The bird flies perfectly, it prefers to move on the ground, even in case of danger it tries to escape first, developing at the same time a fairly high speed. She flies, slowly flapping her wings. The cry of a woodpecker is a quiet crackling that can be heard only up close. feeds on plant food - grains and other plant seeds, eats vegetables, except for potatoes, especially likes peas, cabbage and mustard, pinches young grass. It can also catch small mammals, amphibians and some invertebrates, including insects. In the spring, they feast on their larvae and eggs. The number is decreasing due to the overgrowth of deer and pastures; reduction of watering places; destruction of nests during livestock grazing, hay cutting and fallow cultivation; scaring away birds, increasing the number of wild dogs and crows; removal from nature of clutches and broods.

Acrylic on canvas - 50x70 cm.
"Secretarybird" - Species of birds from the hawk-like order, in the family of unique secretary birds (Sagittariidae). Her peculiar name comes from the black goose feather feathers on her head that court clerks used to wear in their wigs. Unlike other birds of prey that hunt from the air, secretaries spend most of their time on the ground, on which they can move relatively quickly. The secretaries lead a wandering life. They travel from place to place in search of food. At the same time, both partners, who, as a rule, remain faithful to each other for life, remain close and move away from each other only within the radius of vision. First of all, they can be found in savannahs and rare places. Near human settlements, their populations are usually small, since many nests are ruined.

Great tit - (Parus major) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common species throughout Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and east across the Palearctic to the Amur River, south to parts of North Africa where it is generally resident in any sort of woodland; most great tits do not migrate except in extremely harsh winters. Until 2005 this species was lumped with numerous other subspecies. DNA studies have shown these other subspecies to be distinct from the great tit and these have now been separated as two distinct species, the cinereous tit (Parus cinereus) of southern Asia, and the Japanese tit (Parus minor) of East Asia. The great tit remains the most widespread species in the genus Parus.

"Gastornis" - a genus of extinct large flightless birds that existed in the late Paleocene and Eocene 56-41 million years ago. Fossil remains were discovered in Europe, and a similar bird belonging to the genus Diatryma lived in North America. Diatrim is now considered to belong to the genus Gastornis. Gastornis reached a height of 1.75 m (diatrim 2 m) and a weight of 100 kg. They had a large beak capable of breaking bones. Therefore, paleontologists used to often suggest that these birds were predators or scavengers. However, recent studies of some details of the bird's structure show that Gastornis was more adapted to consuming plant food. It probably used its beak to dig up edible roots. Gastornis could not fly, but could run well.

There are two species in the genus — Archeopteryx lithographica and Archeopteryx albersdoerferi. It lived in the Jurassic period in a tropical climate, and was roughly the size of a modern crow. The shape of the body, the structure of the limbs and the presence of plumage are similar to modern birds, it may have flown, but in many respects it was close to reptiles. The discovery of Archeopteryx was a brilliant confirmation of evolutionary theory, evidence of the existence of peculiar transitional forms between reptiles and birds.

The little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) is a small heron of the genus Egretta. It is a small, darkly colored heron with a two-toned bill. Juveniles are entirely white, bearing resemblance to the snowy egret. During the breeding season, adults develop different coloration on the head, legs, and feet.
They have a range that encompasses much of the Americas, from the United States to northern South America. Some populations are migratory. Climate change will probably cause their distribution to spread north. They can be found in both saltwater and freshwater ecosystems. Their preference for either one depends on where they live.

Hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia. They are characterized by a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly coloured and sometimes has a casque on the upper mandible. Both the common English and the scientific name of the family refer to the shape of the bill, "buceros" being "cow horn" in Greek. Hornbills have a two-lobed kidney. They are the only birds in which the first and second neck vertebrae (the atlas and axis respectively) are fused together; this probably provides a more stable platform for carrying the bill.

Laughing owl - (Ninox albifacies), also known as whēkau or the white-faced owl, was an endemic owl of New Zealand. Plentiful when European settlers arrived in New Zealand, its scientific description was published in 1845, but it was largely or completely extinct by 1914. The species was traditionally considered to belong to the monotypic genus Sceloglaux Kaup, 1848 ("scoundrel owl", probably because of the mischievous-sounding calls), although recent genetic studies indicate that it belongs with the boobook owls in the genus Ninox. After various studies and analysis it was concluded that it is more of a terrestrial bird due to the great advantage it had to prey on ground at nighttime (1996).

Katya Sviridova Katya Sviridova "Rhinoceros hornbill"
The rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros) is a large species of forest hornbill (Bucerotidae). In captivity it can live for up to 35 years. It is found in lowland and montane, tropical and subtropical climates and in mountain rain forests up to 1,400 metres in Borneo, Sumatra, Java, the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and southern Thailand, faces a number of threats, including loss of its rainforest habitat, as well as hunting for its meat, and its skull and feathers. Habitat destruction has led to the loss of the large trees the species requires for breeding, which in turn makes it easier for poachers to find the rhinoceros hornbill. It is frequently shot at by poachers due to confusion with the highly sought-after helmeted hornbill. Due to this, the species was uplisted to vulnerable from near threatened on the IUCN Red List in 2018.
