Zooniverse Birds Around the World



Another Zooniverse project (besides Numbat Discovery in Western Australia) is to detect animals ingesting oil from oil spills in the Peruvian Amazon. I started this project but either my computer or my eyes don't have good enough resolution to see what I had to see. Before I quit, I found one bird I could "collect" and identify.

Vulturine Guinea Fowl
Yellow-necked Spurfowl
Yellow-necked Spurfowl


More Kenyan birds... would love help identifying them...


My guess is Laughing Dove



Ostrich

Egyptian Goose

Blacksmith Lapwing (one of the moderators id'ed this one)

House Crow ?
Superb Starling ?


White-bellied Bustards (another moderator-id)






Helmeted Guinea Fowl and Egyptian Goose (id'ed for me)
And then there's the oxpecker, who spends its time picking ticks off large animals. I think this is the red-billed oxpecker, who spend nights sleeping in giraffe's groins, apparently because giraffes don't lie down and squish them.
