March 2 is National Read Across America Day (hey, why not read to your bird<\/a>?!) and coincides with the birthday of children\u2019s author and illustrator Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), best known for his colorfully illustrated, rhyming children\u2019s books like \u201cCat in the Hat\u201d \u201cThe Grinch Who Stole Christmas\u201d and \u201cGreen Eggs and Ham.\u201d His books are filled with animal characters, including birds. For the most part, \u00a0Dr. Seuss\u2019s birds look familiar, but their feathers and shapes are best described as otherworldly. We\u2019ve previously shared some\u00a0real-life birds<\/u>\u00a0t<\/a>hat look like they belong in a Dr. Seuss book, and here are some more\u00a0fantastical Dr. Seuss-like birds\u00a0to check out.<\/p>\n

King Vulture<\/h3>\n

When describing birds that are breathtaking, a vulture probably doesn\u2019t come to mind. But one look at the King Vulture\u00a0<\/strong>(Sarcoramphus papa<\/em>) and it\u2019s hard not to take a deep breath and think \u201cWow!\u201d This large\u00a0bird\u00a0from Central and South America has a mostly white body, but the skin on its head and neck is a kaleidoscope of colors, such as purple, orange yellow, blue and red. Some say it is so named because it shoos away other vultures when they’re found success in scavenging for a carcass. Perhaps other birds are so transfixed by the\u00a0King Vulture\u2019s appearance that they stand aside and let the King by\u00a0to have first dibs.<\/p>\n

Hawk-Headed Parrot<\/h3>\n

Dr. Seuss had a way of drawing a parrot-like bird but with a twist. The hawk-headed parrot<\/strong> (Deroptyus accipitrinus<\/em>) certainly is a parrot with a visual twist.<\/p>\n

This parrot native to the Amazon Rainforest not only has a dizzying array of color \u2014\u00a0a dark brown face with white streaks, green wings, flanks and tail, and a red and blue barred breast \u2014 it has a colorful\u00a0\u201cheaddress” of feathers that it raises, usually when excited.<\/p>\n

With raised neck feathers, the hawk head\u2019s look is transformed before your eyes. Hawk-headed parrots are kept as companion animals, although less commonly so than other companion parrot species.<\/p>\n

The Andean Cock-Of-The-Rock<\/h3>\n

The<\/strong>\u00a0Andean Cock-of-the-Rock<\/strong>\u00a0(Rupicola peruvianus<\/em>) has the honor of being the national bird of Peru. The male (pictured) has a large disk-like crest and bright orange plumage. The female, on the other hand, is noticeably different as she is darker and browner. The male’s courtship display is elaborate, as males are known to have confrontation displays with other males, where they face each other and bob, jump and flap while squawking and grunting and showing off their repertoire of sounds \u2014 all to impress females, a sort of bird dance-off if you will \u2026 in a Dr. Seuss world it would go something like, \u201cThe Rock goes hop, hop hop \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Red-Crested Turaco<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0red-crested turaco\u00a0(Tauraco erythrolophus<\/em>) looks like a Dr. Seuss-styled bird crossed with a dinosaur. It is the national bird of its native Angola, and its call is said to sound like that of a monkey\u2019s.<\/p>\n

In the wild, turacos feasts on fruit, flowers, figs, leaves, termites, and even snails. Turacos are also referred to as the \u201cgo-away\u201d bird, as that is what its call sounds like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
