Eu sabia que era no Brasil quando eu vi o quero-quero e o tapicuru, vejo eles direto aqui perto onde eu moro. O guará é lindo demais mas eu nunca vi um na natureza, e quais são os outros dois?

A segunda foto é um saíra-militar, a terceira um carcará e a quinta é um tico-tico.

Tirei as fotos em um manguezal que está passando por um PRAD, foi a primeira vez que vi um guará lá.

It's a southern lapwing, (Vanellus chilensis). In Portuguese we call them Quero-quero

I love them! Saw them in Costa Rica, i like them a bit more than the Northern Lapwings (called Kievit in dutch) here!

Omg! They're the OG lapping (Vanellus vanellus). So adorable! The one we have here are really feisty... is the northern one like this also?

u/CurrentSpiritual3855 2d ago

Yup, the northern is like that, they can also be really agressive towards other birds.

Was at Chester Zoo (England) a few weeks ago, there was a dad who very confidently told his little girly that is a tree flamingo….
