Never fancied yourself as a birder? You’re sure to reconsider after this webinar with safari guides Rich and Matt, who share an utterly fascinating overview of avian life in Africa. These flying feathered creatures are found on every continent and number about 18,000 species worldwide, making them an incredibly diverse group of vertebrates. From ostriches that stand taller than a man to itty-bitty iridescent sunbirds, Africa’s birdlife is extraordinary. Birds are capable of some of the most incredible feats known to the natural world, from migrating across the globe with no more than a peanut-sized calorie-dense meal to possessing a brain smaller than their eyeball. Some of the most remarkable human accomplishments have been modeled off the adaptations of birds, too. Join Rich and Matt to hear about their favorite birds and why they are so awestruck by them.
