Birds of Africa Very often people don't
remember, when speaking or thinking about Africa, how many varieties of birds it is
possible to find there. The first thought goes to the vast number of different mammals,
plunderers, perhaps snakes but rarely to birds. The flora of Africa has an enormous number
of colorful and fascinating bird species. We want to share some of the views that we found
to be the most impressive. |
