Tufted Puffin

The Tufted Puffin is a surface diving seabird acclimated to the colder waters of the north Pacific. The Tufted Puffin is the largest of all the Puffin species and breeds between northwestern Alaska down through central California.

The golden plumes seen on the Tufted Puffin only appear during mating season. When this species is ready for nesting, they burrow into the edges of cliffs.

Tufted Puffins are skilled hunters who are able to catch and hold up to 20 fish in their mouths at a time in order to bring food back for the chicks. When Tufted Puffins mature and reach adulthood, they eat their fish underwater.

Vulturine Guineafowl

With its distinctive coloring and blood-red eyes, the Vulturine Guineafowl looks like an intimidating creature.

The Vulturine Guineafowl is also known as the "royal guineafowl" and follows a diet that consists of seeds, rodents, small reptiles, insects, plus vegetation and fruits on occasion.

This bird is native to east tropical African countries like Ethiopia and Kenya and thrives in dry desert conditions. This species is a fast runner and has the ability to fly although it rarely does save for when it needs to reach its roosting perch.

Male Vulturine Guineafowl usually maintain an aggressive posture and stance while females tend to display more submissive body language.

Spectacled Eider

The Spectacled Eider gets its name from the markings around its eyes that make it look like its wearing glasses.

This arctic seabird is built to handle cold temperatures and thrives in the tundra as well as western Alaska, where their main breeding ground is. The Spectacled Eider's diet consists mostly of mollusks but when summer rolls around, they have been known to munch on grass and berries.

Golden Pheasant

The Golden Pheasant is native to central and southern China (it's also known as the Chinese Pheasant)—where the people believe that seeing one indicates good luck and fortune—and features an eye-catching array of colors and patterns.

These little guys are omnivores whose diets consist of soft bamboo shoots, insects, berries, seeds, and flowers. They stay relatively small, usually maxing out at 1.2 pounds.

Golden Pheasants have the ability to fly but aren't very good at it which is why they tend to stay grounded unless they need to get back
