What is cypriot birds?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences, but I can provide information based on my database. Here is some information about Cypriot birds:

Cyprus is home to about 380 species of birds due to its strategic situation in the Eastern Mediterranean. Some of the most common species include:

  1. European Bee-eater
  2. Eurasian Hoopoe
  3. Willow Warbler
  4. Sardinian Warbler
  5. Common Nightingale
  6. Chukar Partridge
  7. Black Francolin
  8. Scops Owl
  9. Peregrine falcon
  10. Common kestrel.

The island has a rich diversity of habitats, including open countryside, forests, cliffs, and beaches, which makes it a popular destination for birdwatchers. In addition, Cyprus has become a stopover for many migratory birds from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, including flamingos and pelicans.

However, illegal hunting has had a significant impact on the bird population in Cyprus. Despite various conservation efforts, hunting remains a common practice in certain areas, particularly during the autumn migration season. Illegal trapping of songbirds is also a significant problem, with thousands of birds killed each year for the lucrative black market trade in bird delicacies such as ambelopoulia.
