Often mistaken for one another, these birds have distinct traits that set them apart and remarkable behaviors that continue to astound scientists and bird enthusiasts alike.

Their behaviors, both practical and social, reveal a world of natural intelligence that we are only beginning to understand. Observing these birds can teach us lessons about cooperation, problem-solving, and living harmoniously with our environment.
