Eurasian hoopoe – Pretty but Smelly
You can easily recognized it by its cinnamon- orange color and beautiful crown-like feather on the head. Usually the females look a little duller than the males. The female bird generates a kind of stinky secretion which can protect its embryo from the predators. That’s why you may find the nest smells like rotten meat.

Eurasian hoopoe  is one of the piece from her “Birds of India Series”
