About the artwork

The hoopoe is easily recognized by its reddish-brown plumage with a long black-pointed crest, which can be raised when the bird is excited. The tail and wings are black and marked with broad white stripes. The bill is long and thin. A notable feature is the pronounced stench that the animal spreads because, on the one hand, the nest is never cleaned (food waste and manure are left behind) and, on the other hand, because the female has a gland at the base of her tail, which spreads a heavy stench during the breeding season. A nickname for the hoopoe is therefore drekhaan. The hoopoe is an insectivorous meadow bird. The call of the hoopoe sounds like hoep, hoep, and although the sound is not loud, it is still audible from a great distance. The length is 26 to 28 cm and the weight 75 grams. The hoopoe is found mainly in temperate and subtropical Europe from open forests to grassy steppes and desert environments. The Iberian Peninsula is by far the most important breeding area. Hoopes are found mostly in stony areas, on walls and around ruins. They winter in southern Europe and Africa.
