4 Common Hummingbird Species
Hummingbirds are native to America and belong to the biological family Trochilidae. There are 360 plus species of hummingbirds are found all over the world.

From rescued, then attacked then becoming a cockadoodle dad....
We live in a rural town , on quite a big block (half an acre) ,with a little weatherboard house nestled in the middle. Our yard is full of fruit trees and fences on 3 sides but we have no front fence, so every now and then we get an animal of some sort wander in..

Kiwi
This is my pet peacock Kiwi. He is a very sweet gentle bird. He likes to eat bugs and leaves. He also likes to sleep in my black walnut tree. Every night he flies up into the tree and sleeps. During mating season his tail grows long, up to five feet and he shows it off to the pea hens. I raised this bird from a small little peachick. If you visit a local zoo let's say the Oregon Zoo. They have many peacocks who can be very aggressive, this is due to be pestered by every 3 year old that visits the zoo. Peacocks don't take kindly to harassment.

World of the Eastern Whip-poor-will
This bird has been made famous in poems, folk songs and literature due to its endless chanting talents on summer nights. It’s sort of like providing a romantic interlude. The Eastern Whip-poor-wills are real easy to hear but are difficult to see. They have a brindled plumage that blends in well with gray-brown leaf litter in the open forests where they make their home and breed and roost. The come out from perches at dawn and dusk and on moonlit nights to gather up insects in their cavernous mouths. Unfortunately,these once-common birds are on the decline in parts of their range due to the fact that open forests are being converted into suburbs or agriculture.
