Horned bird

• Horned Lark: A small songbird that lives in open habitats, such as fields, deserts, and tundra.
  It has a black chest and ear marks, and a yellow or white face.
  It also has tiny black "horns" on the back of its head, which are actually tufts of feathers.
  Horned Larks feed on seeds and insects, and sing a high, tinkling song.
  They are the only native lark in North America.
  It has a long, curved bill that is often brightly colored and sometimes has a horny casque on the upper part.
  Hornbills feed on fruits, insects, and small animals, and have a loud, raucous call.
  They are known for their unusual nesting behavior, where the female seals herself inside a tree cavity with mud and feces, leaving only a small opening for the male to feed her and the chicks.

There are different kinds of horned birds
That live in various parts of the world
Some are large and loud, some are small and swift
But all of them have something to be told

The hornbill is a tropical bird
With a curved bill and a casque on top
It feeds on fruits and small animals
And nests in tree holes with a mud stop

The lark is a songbird of the open fields
With a short bill and a crest on its head
It sings in flight and on the ground
And builds its nest of grass and thread

The horned screamer is a waterfowl
With a spiny horn and a chicken-like bill
It has black and white plumage and red eyes
And makes a loud call that can chill

These are some examples of horned birds
That have their own beauty and charm
They are part of nature's diversity
And deserve our respect and no harm

The horned bird, also known as the horned lark or shore lark, is a species of lark that lives across the northern hemisphere.
It can be found in a variety of habitats, such as fields, deserts, tundra, mountains, and coasts.
It is the only native lark in North America.
Some of the subspecies are named after the regions where they live, such as the Oregon horned lark, the Saskatchewan horned lark.

• Hornbills are birds found in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia.
  They have a long, down-curved bill which is frequently brightly coloured and sometimes has a horny casque on the upper mandible.
  The casque is a hollow structure that runs along the top of the bill and can be U-shaped, helmet-shaped, or saddle-shaped depending on the species.
  Hornbills use their bill for fighting, preening, nesting, and catching prey.

• Horned screamers are large, goose-like birds native to South America.
  They have a long, white spine of cartilage that protrudes from their forehead.
  The spine can be up to 15 cm (6 in) long and is used for display and defense.
  Horned screamers also have two smaller spurs on their wings that can inflict wounds on predators or rivals.
  These birds are mostly herbivorous, feeding on aquatic plants and grasses.
