Bird-life in South African Parks
South Africa has a lot to offer the birding enthusiast and a lot of the parks have developed facilities for bird watching.
South Africa has a wide range of vegetation types, rich and diverse eco-systems providing sanctuary to an unusually large number of bird species.
Like all animals, birds have adapted to particular environments, each species being able to live and reproduce optimally in the particular habitat to which it is best suited. Some live in hollow trees in open bushveld, others in elaborate nests delicately interwoven with reeds overhanging streams, whilst others again prefer the dense over grown riverine forests. To each species his own food, nest and habits.
