About the Eurasian hoopoe

The Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) inhabits large parts of Europe. It builds its nest in tree hollows or among boulders and lives on a diet of insects and other small invertebrates it finds in animal droppings. When excited, the hoopoe raises the feather plume on its head. Conversely, when protecting itself from birds of prey, it lays flat on the ground and spreads its wings so as not to be perceived as a bird.
