Animals

Dear all,

This is our second chosen topic, you chose a very broad topic, and I remember telling you about the freedom you will have for this particular post.
I will personally talk about my favorite chilean birds.
I became interested in chilean birds when I first saw a loica! its scientific name is Sturnella loyca, and they can be seen in many places around the city of Santiago. 


The reddish color above the stomach is one of the things that make these birds unique.

Another bird that I love, is a neighbor of mine: Athene cunicularia, AKA Pequén.
I say we're neighbors because where I live there is a couple of 'Pequenes' using a rabbit's old hole to bring up their hatchlings. Whenever I go near the entrance of the ex-rabbit's hole, they both get angry and they start making sounds so I 'get scared' and leave their babies live and grow peacefully underground. 



The white line above its eyes is one of their characteristics. 

Among many others, I have seen a Garza, Mirlo, Chercán, Tiuque, and Tortolas. Do you know any of these birds?
So that's about me, now it's your turn to tell me about the animals you like!
It can be about any chilean or foreign animals. Also you can mention anything related to animals, music, cartoons, poetry or even dances related with them!
