Jacana Bird - Sometimes Referred to as Jesus Birds
This bird known as "Jesus birds" because of their ability to walk on water. Jacanas are water birds found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They are known for their long legs and toes, which allow them to walk across floating vegetation, such as lily pads. Jacanas are also known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve the male bird spreading his wings and tail to reveal a bright blue patch of skin.
The female jacana lays her eggs in a floating nest, and the male bird takes care of incubating the eggs and raising the chicks. Jacanas are an important part of the wetland ecosystem, and they help to control populations of insects and other small animals. The male jacana has a harem of up to 12 females, and he is responsible for incubating the eggs and raising the chicks. Jacanas are not afraid of humans, and they can often be seen near people in parks and gardens.
