 Woodpecker
Most species possess predominantly white, black and brown, green and red
plumage, although many show a certain amount of grey and olive green. In
woodpeckers, many species exhibit patches of red and yellow on their heads
and bellies, and these bright areas are important in signalling. The dark
areas of plumage are often iridescent. Many male woodpecker species have
more prominent red or yellow head markings than in females.

Ku Ku Bird
Cuckoos are often highly secretive and in many cases best known for their
wide repertoire of calls. Calls are usually relatively simple, resembling
whistles, flutes, or hiccups. The calls are used in order to demonstrate
ownership of a territory and to attract a mate.

Four Birds on a Tree
Of the about 850 bird species recorded in South Africa, about 725 are
resident or annual visitors, and 50 of these are endemic or near-endemic and
can only be seen in South Africa. Apart from resident birds, South Africa
hosts a number of intra-African migrants such as cuckoos and kingfishers, as
well as birds from the Arctic, Europe, Central Asia, China and Antarctica
during the year.

Rooster
The rooster is polygamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once.
He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other
roosters who enter his territory. During the daytime, he often sits on a
high perch, usually 4–5 feet off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his
flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.

Tucan
Toucans are usually found in pairs or small flocks. They sometimes fence
with their bills and wrestle, which scientists hypothesize they do to
establish dominance hierarchies.
