Hoopoe Bird Colouring Page for Kids

Meet a cheerful Hoopoe, one of the easiest birds to recognize because of its crown of fan-shaped feathers, long curved beak and bold black-and-white wing bands. A Hoopoe raises its beautiful crest when it feels excited or alert, and it uses its slender bill to search the ground for tasty insects. Children can colour the head, neck and body warm cinnamon, peach or sandy orange. Add creamy white and deep black stripes to the wings and tail, then colour the crest orange with dark tips. Try pale grey or tan for the beak and feet, blue for the sky, golden yellow for the sun, brown for the branch and bright greens for the grass and leaves. Finish the flowers with several happy colours, leave the eye sparkle white and use gentle strokes inside the large shapes for a neat, lively Hoopoe picture.
