Heron Bird From Indonesia

Heron is a term for a bird of the family Ardeidae. This leggy birds, long-necked, and scattered around the world. Birds Cangak and Nankeen Heron family are also included.

Heron bird while flying his neck shaping as the letter "s" and not straightened out, in contrast to the bird from the family of Storks (Ciconiidae) and Ibis (Large) that straightens the neck and draw the kaki-kakinya during flight.

In Malay, the bird of the family Ardeidae Ciconiidae Storks are called and, while in Indonesia the term Crane used for the birds of the family Ciconiidae.

Heron Bird Habitat in wetlands, on the beach or coral reefs. Food in the form of fish, frogs, and invertebrate. Species such as Buffalo Heron (Bubulcus ibis) are insects that are much larger and less dependent on the watery soil.

In 2005, Canada scientist named Dr. Louis Lefebvre announced a method of measuring IQ relating to eating habits. Based on this method, the bird of Egret birds is one of the most clever.

Heron bird classification is having trouble because there are differences of opinion within the grouping of species into two large genera Ardea and Egretta.:
