Sunning Birds and Why They Do It

Have you seen a bird with its mouth open, feathers spread out, its body flattened on soil exposing its upper parts and head to the sun. Often people think there is something wrong, I can see how they would make that assumption, but hang on a second. As with humans, birds also like to sit under the sun. In this video, I will help give a better understanding of why you are seeing this strange sighting.

If you have a sick or injured bird in your possession I can not help this bird in any way it is strongly advised to contact a local vet or wildlife official before any decisions are made. It is very easy to do more harm than good when handling any wildlife.
