America has one, so does Latvia and Singapore. Israel is getting ready to select it’s very own national bird — a tough choice given the volume of bird species that use Israel as a flyway every year, travelling from Africa to Europe and then back again.

The hoopoe is my favorite too! has been since I moved to Israel – but I’ve been seeing less of them in the past few years…
