The STUNNING Eurasian Hoopoe | WILDLIFE SINGAPORE BIRDING | 4K

The Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops) is a distinctive and colorful bird found across Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. Belonging to the Upupidae family, this bird is known for its striking appearance and unique call.
Adult Eurasian Hoopoes typically measure around 25 to 32 centimeters in length, with a wingspan of approximately 44 to 48 centimeters. They are easily recognizable by their bold black and white wing pattern, warm cinnamon-brown body, and long, slender, down-curved bill. One of the most notable features of the Eurasian Hoopoe is its prominent crest of feathers on its head, which can be raised or lowered and is often tipped with black.
Eurasian Hoopoes inhabit a variety of environments, including open woodlands, grasslands, savannas, and agricultural areas. They are also commonly found in orchards, vineyards, and gardens. These birds prefer habitats that offer a mix of open ground for foraging and trees or structures for nesting.
Eurasian Hoopoes are primarily ground foragers, using their long bills to probe the soil for insects, larvae, worms, and other small invertebrates. They have a distinctive foraging behavior, often flicking aside leaves and debris with their bills. Their diet can also include small reptiles and amphibians.
During the breeding season, Eurasian Hoopoes are known for their courtship displays, which may involve the male singing a soft "hoo-hoo-hoo" call to attract a mate. They nest in cavities in trees, walls, or cliffs, often reusing old nests. The female lays a clutch of 5 to 7 eggs, which she incubates for about two weeks. Both parents participate in feeding the chicks, which fledge about 26 to 29 days after hatching.
The Eurasian Hoopoe is not currently considered globally threatened and is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN. However, local populations can be affected by habitat loss, pesticide use, and human disturbance. Conservation efforts that focus on preserving natural habitats, reducing pesticide use, and maintaining nesting sites can help ensure the continued survival of this species.
