There’s no lack of birds in this world. While the common consensus has long been that there are anywhere between 9,000 and 10,000 species on the planet, a study from the American Museum of Natural History suggests the number maybe twice that. That’s a lot of birds, and it suggests that there’s a lot more out there than the blue jays, cardinals, and hummingbirds that most of us are used to. More exotic species are often funny-looking or strange to us, and there are more than enough strange and unique species to stay continually shocked and amused. Abnormal plumage, malformation of beaks, uncommon form and naturally infrequency in look make some species of birds so unusual. Some of them additionally reveal bizarre habits in weight loss plans, flight, and mating. We can’t possibly document every strange bird species on the planet, but here are ten of the strange looking birds in the world — whether that weirdness is derived from their physiology, their habits, or a combination of the two. Some of them look so bizarre that they could have been Photoshopped.
