Birds are one of the most unique and interesting creatures in the world. From their colourful and beautiful wings, to their haunting and eerie calls, there is something special in them all. And here we mention some of the most unique and rare birds from around the world.

A beautiful bird from New Zealand is the Kakapo. It is a heavy bird, and one of the very few parrots that cannot support their flight. It has a downward bill, classic green-yellow colours, and curious eyes.

One of the most colourful and bright birds is the Stresemann’s bristlefront. It has an all blue colour pattern on its body, from light blue to darker shades, and it is an adorable little bird, but also rare to spot as it is endangered.

Popular as one of the rarest eagles in the world is the Philippine eagle. It is also rather strange-looking and has a ‘confused’ expression on its face all the time.

Another large bird that is a rare sight is the California condor. They have large wings, all black in colour, and a pre-historic face.

Another beautiful bird with a blue-coloured hue is this macaw. From dark blue on the wings, to light blue shades on the face, the Spix’s macaw is a delight to see.

Another beautiful but rare to spot bird is the Ivory-billed woodpecker. It is a medium-sized bird with an all black body, a streak of white on its wings, and red colour around the eyes.

The popular ‘Hedwig’ from the Harry Potter movie series was a beautiful snowy owl, all white in colour, black spots around the body, and curious eyes that could pierce through.

Another small bird that is a beauty to look at but super rare to spot is the Honduran emerald. It has shiny speckles of blue and green around its body, and a distinct red-orange beak.

The Palila too is a small, adorable bird with colours that look like a little child’s drawing. The upper half of its body is yellow in colour, the bottom half is white, and on its wings is a mix of black and yellow.

Another rare and unique bird in the wild is the Imperial Amazon. It looks extremely similar to a parrot but does not have the classic green colour. Instead, it has green wings, and black body and fur. As of 2019, only 50 of these rare birds were left.
