Israel's National Bird Poll: Hoopoe & Sunbird
James Murray-White | | 2 Comments | Email this
Here as promised, bird lovers, are 2 more of the candidates in the Green Prophet/Israel National Bird Poll:
The Hoopoe
The Palestine Sunbird
Is the Palestine or Yellow Tufted Sunbird the same as the Olive Backed Sunbird? It looks very beautiful, and as the olive is the unofficial food/fruit of the Middle East, maybe that should be considered?
Anyway, please keep writing in with comments: let us know why you are voting for the bird you are, and any bird-related stories are welcome. Please keep those votes coming: VOTE HERE!

I saw a Palestine Sunbird on my balcony today ;-)

The hoopoe won! It’s now Israel’s official national bird and I am so happy.
