There’s no “I” in a downy woodpecker pair! Pairs do everything together, from carving out their nest hole to incubating and feeding. But somebody has to take the night shift, and that is dad! They will both still feed and teach their young for up to three weeks after they leave.

When it comes to raising kids, some spotted sandpiper dads are on their own. Sometimes females are polyandrous, which means they mate with multiple males, up to four, and each will raise a clutch of three to five eggs. #FathersDay2022 #FathersDay

In a snowy #owl #family, mom takes care of the nestlings, while #dad keeps everybody fed. If he’s had a good run, it is not unusual to see piles of dead rodents lying around the nest; clutch sizes vary depending on the amount of food. In times of plenty, they can lay 11 eggs!

A tough call... #BirdMemes #BirdTwitter #Memes

Did you know #bluetits have an appetite for the energy-rich cream that settles at the very top of #milk bottles? In the 50s, once bottles started being delivered to homes covered by tin foil bottle tops, the crafty critters learned how to pierce it and access their hearty snack!

European honey #buzzards love a meal with a little bite… Literally! They have an appetite for Asian #hornets. These insects are considered an invasive species in #Europe and pose a threat to bee populations. So, in grabbing lunch, buzzards are also acting as pest control agents.

Hate salad? The #hoatzin doesn’t! These Amazonian beauties’ diet is mostly made up of #leaves; they are folivorous! Like cows and sheep use the rumen to pre-digest the grass they eat, the hoatzin does this in its crop. Fun fact: they are the only #bird to pre-digest food. #birds

Did you know greater #honeyguides have a serious appetite for #beeswax, and can remember where lunch spots are? This has led hunters in #Mozambique to develop a symbiotic relationship with the birds that guide them to hives. They even have a special call that summons them!

Happy #WorldPenguinDay everybody! Here's a fun fact: did you know that, in Prehistoric times, penguins were huge? These mega penguins lived between 30 and 40 million years ago and were the approximate size and weight of an adult human! #BirdFacts #History #Birding #Penguins
