The best defense bird in the world (continue)

4. Hoatzin 

Found in the rainforests of South America, Hoatzin once believed to be a "living fossil". This is reflected in many ways, for example, he ate the leaves of the tree, a diet that is very strange for a bird and fermentation using bacteria to digest food, like cows. Because of this, Hoatzin has a very pungent smell like manure. But the terrible odor Hoatzin is no reason why he included in this list. Hoatzin usually build their nests in the branches of a tree hanging over the water. When disturbed or threatened by a predator, the Hoatzin boy jumped into the water to escape. They are excellent swimmers and divers good and when the danger has passed, they can climb trees and go back to the nest. To do this, the child Hoatzin has two claws on each wing, reminiscent of those of the feathered Archaeopteryx and the other, rather bird-like dinosaurs. Only the young Hoatzin having claws, they disappear and can escape predators by flying. Hoatzin has been the object of debate in the scientific community since its discovery in 1776.

5. Ferruginous Pygmy Owl 

Although owls normally known to prey on mice and other rodents, it turns out they also hunt fellow owls and the child usually afraid of owls, when they see an owl during the day (when the owls tend to be less willing to carry out a surprise attack), they scramble to bother to push it away. This behavior is known as "mobbing". This owl is a bird hunter skilled, taking prey up to twice their own size, and therefore they are feared by all other small birds in their area. Of course this is very dangerous for the smaller species such as Ferruginous Pygmy Owl. To protect themselves from mobbing, this bird has 2 spots on the back of his head that resemble eyes. This is enough to deter most small birds, because they usually will not attack the owl who looked at them. If the face of larger birds, surrender may be better.

6. Eurasian Cuckoo 

The Eurasian Cuckoo commonly known as bird lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. When the child was born, it destroys the eggs of birds actually nester, thus eliminating any competition, and quickly developed than children of adoptive parents. To protect themselves from threats, female cuckoo has developed an excellent appearance reminiscent of a Sparrow Hawk, a raptor that eat small birds. And supported by the similarity of the two. By posing as a Sparrow Hawk, Cuckoo could scare other birds away from their nests so. During the fake Sparrow Hawk was there, other birds will not be able to return to their nests, and the cuckoo can lay eggs without a problem. There are several other species that mimics the way, but do not just imitate the cuckoo hawk, like Hawk-Cuckoo in South Asia that mimics the type of local sparrows, to the style of flying and even how to perch.
 

7. Burrowing Owl 

Burrowing Owl was found in grasslands and deserts from Canada to Patagonia. They nest in burrows and often use abandoned burrows of other animals, but if they can not find an empty hole, they can also dig their own hole. Burrowing Owl Children are often left alone in a rut and have to hunt for themselves. During this time, the children are vulnerable to predators such as foxes, coyotes, raccoons and house cats. In order to keep the enemy away, burying children Burrowing Owl has developed a process of mimicry. When they feel threatened (for example, if the animal began to dig at the entrance of the burrow), the child produces snakelike hissing calls when warned enemies. Due to the highly venomous viper known to hide in burrows, most predators (including humans), preferring to flee as soon as they hear it. Their defense mechanism is one of the most efficient among the birds, but it has a weak point, no use against actual rattlesnakes. It certainly can not deceive them and the fact that rattlesnakes do suffer deafness.

The best defense bird in the world

1. Hooded Pitohui was found at New Guinea, their defense against the predator is
simple but their poison is very amazing.  Pitohui take some kind of beetle that contain a potent neurotoxin and contains an alkaloid known as batrachotoxin (poison were also found in the skin of the poison dart frogs of South America). By eating beetles, birds being poisoned, their toxins present in their fur and skin. 

They are really known by the locals as "trash birds", because their toxicity makes them impossible to eat unless they removed the skin and fur. Touching Hooded Pitohuis can cause numbness and tingling, burning skin and sneezing (as reported by the scientists in charge of the creature), while consuming them may be far more dangerous. To warn the nature of its toxicity, this bird has a bright orange color and black color that allows candidates to recognize predators. And it is believed that the Hooded Pitohuis can rub toxin on eggs and their children to protect them from predators.

2. African White Masked Owl

 
This little owl little known to the public after recently when a Japanese TV show featuring an incredible defense method. If approached by enemy small bird will sizzle to make themselves look bigger and vicious, this is a defensive method common among owls and apparently enough to scare the enemy. However, when dealing with an enemy that is larger and more powerful, these owls are not trying to intimidate him in that manner, but the smoothing feathers and squinting so that his eyes almost invisible to predators. By keeping these birds move to do something to resemble a tree stump or branch plants, such Potoo, escape from larger predators.

3. Potoo

 
Often found in Mexico, Central and South America, this bird is a strange nocturnal predators also known as "Ghost Bird", because their exceptional camouflage. Potoo eat insects, small flying animals such as bats and small birds. In the afternoon potoo perched in a tree and a truly moving and imitating dead tree stumps or as a broken stump. Its fur resembles bark and eyelids have a gap that allowed him to see even when blindfolded. Potoo will usually still move even when approached by another animal (or human) and they only fly when they feel that they have been known to disguise. Camouflage is so good, however, they are almost never found, and they have almost no predators. It also makes it very difficult for us Potoo observe. At night Potoo can only be found by eyes reflect light, shining like the eyes of cats and owls.
