Birds
Birds are among the most visible and dynamic animals on the planet, recognized by their feathers, beaks, and remarkable ability to adapt to a wide range of environments. From dense rainforests to open grasslands and urban spaces, birds occupy nearly every habitat on Earth.
Birds play critical roles as seed dispersers, pollinators, pest controllers, and indicators of environmental health. Because they respond quickly to changes in habitat quality, bird populations often reflect the broader condition of ecosystems.
