The most beautiful birds, photos of which are above, are just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more amazing representatives of the feathered family all over the world. And it's impossible to tell everyone. Nature has created a lot of wonderful birds that amaze us with their beauty and voice.

But besides, they are incredibly useful to the world. Beautiful birds are white, black, this is not so important, the main thing is that they are an integral part in the food chain of living organisms. They are of great importance in regulating the number of small insects. Birds also distribute seeds, which is important for the harvest, they pollinate plants, exterminate harmful insects and rodents. So birds should be protected so that their number does not decrease, and rare species, on the contrary, increase in number.
