External appearance There is no clear sexual dimorphism, the female is only slightly smaller than the male and has more subdued colors. However, gender recognition is only possible up close. On the head there is a characteristic, fan-shaped folding during the mating season, in emergency situations and during departure or landing, a rusty, movable two-row top (it looks like a hammer folded backwards). The tips of the feathers in the tip are black. The head and neck are rusty brown and the underside of the body with long dark spots. The back and the chest are red-brown, white and yellowish transverse stripes on the black remiges and rectrices, the belly and tails are light, the beak is long, thin, rusty brown with a black tip and curved, with a retracted tongue. The wings are wide and rounded. He has dark brown eyes and gray legs. Hoopoe is as big as a turtle dove and is slightly larger than a starling. The bird is easily recognizable, especially in flight, because it is the only European bird that combines rust, black and white plumage. The hoopoe surprised by the presence of a human being does not always fly away immediately. Sometimes he freezes in a pose in which he resembles a colorful lizard. Thanks to its plumage, it blends with the surroundings during feeding.
