Ethiopia is a country located in the Horn of Africa and is home to a diverse range of birds. Ethiopia’s birds are found in a variety of habitats, from the highlands of the Great Rift Valley to the lowlands of the Sudan.
With over 860 species of birds in Ethiopia, it is the most bird-rich country in the continent. Ethiopia’s birds come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from the majestic Lammergeier to the diminutive White-rumped Seedeaters.
Ethiopia’s birds are also a major tourist attraction, drawing in birdwatchers and photographers from all over the world. In this article, we will explore some of the most interesting and iconic birds of Ethiopia.
1. Blue-Winged Goose
![Blue-winged goose](https://theworldsrarestbirds.com/assets/images/bird-keyword-images/blue-winged-goose_29123.jpg)
The Blue-winged Goose (Cyanochen cyanoptera) is a unique species of waterfowl native to Ethiopia. It is the only member in its genus, and there has been uncertainty over where it sits within the waterfowl family tree.
Morphologically, this bird closely resembles shelducks and South American sheldgeese – they share similar courtship displays too.
Genetic analyses using mitochondrial DNA have confirmed that this species is not related to other geese or ducks; instead, Blue-winged Geese likely belong to an ancient lineage of birds which diverged before most current waterbird families had evolved.
The striking plumage pattern makes them easy to spot out on their marshy habitats across Ethiopia’s highlands – be sure keep your eyes peeled for these beautiful creatures.Scientific classification:
