Meet The Sunbittern (Eurypyga Helias), The Bird With Beautiful Color (10 Photos)

I think we can all agree that there are some pretty spectacular birds out there, with stunning plumage and eye-catching colors, it’s hard to believe some are even real. That is exactly the case when it comes to this bird, even the name sounds made up, but I assure you it is definitely real.

Sunbitterns start nesting in the early wet season and before it starts they make flight displays 10–15 m (33–49 ft) high in the forest canopy. They build open nests in trees, and lay two eggs with blotched markings. The young are precocial, but remain in the nest for several weeks after hatching.
