Name the 21 countries that have the most species of birds. Each correct answer will complete a portion of three bird images. Identify the three birds to complete the quiz.
Love this quiz! I only recently learned what a European Robin looked like vs. an American Robin, so that came in handy. I’ll give this a spotlight next time I get one. :)
Thanks, Dug, that's very kind of you. I'm glad you enjoyed the quiz! They're not very complicated quizzes, I imagine, but I had a lot of fun designing them.
Yep, they're completely different birds. The American robin is quite long and large, migratory, and rather friendly. The European robin is a tiny ball, stays put throughout winter, and will get mad at you. They're also not particularly related. The only reason they share a name is they both have red chests.
European robins are so friendly! Yes they’re territorial but they’re also curious inquisitive birds who will boldly and happily follow gardeners around as they turn over earth, revealing lunch. There’s a reason it was a robin in the Secret Garden.
Also their song is one of the most beautiful in the UK and the only one you’re likely to hear in the winter months, making it particularly special.
Fun story: European robins do migrate. The robins you see in winter are not the robins you see in spring. They migrate south and that is why they are so busy defending new territory (your birdfeed table) in winter!
You can tell the lad in the photo is a wild red junglefowl (or at least a hybrid) rather than a domestic chicken by the legs: the wild bird has grey legs, whereas the domesticated subspecies usually has orange legs.
36/36 nice quiz! Good clear pictures. Very interesting to see the stats afterwards. I would be very interested to know which ones people mixed up. Would be awesome if another row of stats existed that showed what people clicked instead of the correct answer.
Seen all of these bar the Cassowary (it's on my 'wanted' list) but as a birder that travels for birding perhaps not a surprise. Did a double take on the Barn Swallow though as the pic is not of the (white-bellied) race that we get in the UK and most of Europe!

i call it a peacock but sure.
'jungle fowl'
THAT'S A ROOSTER!!!
Junglefowl are the wild birds that were domesticated to give us chickens.
