Birds of Asia with photos and names |  Predatory and flightless birds of Asia

The largest part of the Earth’s light is undoubtedly Asia. The vast territory, stretching from north to south and from west to east, includes the predominant part of the continental land of Eurasia and the adjacent islands. Asia combines several climatic zones, varied relief, salty and fresh waters of the World Ocean. Considering all this, the flora and fauna of this part of the world is extremely large and diverse.

The species composition of such a class of animals as birds is no exception. Probably, neither America, nor Africa, nor other parts of the world can boast of such a number and variety of birds as in Asia.

As you can see, almost all bird families are represented on the territory of Asia. They live in different environments and lead different lifestyles. There are terrestrial and flying, sedentary and migratory, herbivorous and carnivorous, semi-aquatic, waterfowl, sea, songbirds and many others. There are species, the existence of which is little threatened. And there are also such birds, which are given an “honorable” place in the Red Book due to the danger of their complete disappearance or significant reduction. For example, the Lesser White-fronted Goose is a vulnerable cutting species. But about the pink-headed duck, which previously lived in India, nothing has been known for more than 70 years.
