These birds have feathery tresses that even the '80s TV stars with snazzy hairdos would envy.

All birds are born stylish, with stunning feathers in an array of textures, shapes, and colors; all these spectacular elements blend to make the perfect yet bizarre hairdo. Some bird species are graced with attractive hair for mating purposes. Check out five birds with head-turning hairdos that you need to see to believe.

Crested Partridge

This ground bird from the tropics can be spotted in the marshy Southeast Asian rainforests but is now identified as a "near threatened" bird species with a declining population owing to lumbering and forest destruction. The male birds have black feathers and a spectacular fluffy red pouf. On the other hand, the female birds have green feathers but no pouf.

Himalayan Monal

People of Nepal have the Himalayan Monal as their national bird. The male birds have beautiful ponytails made of feathers in iridescent rainbow colors. While the female birds have a less striking appearance, with a white throat, brown body, and blue eye patch.

Hoatzin

Hoatzins are reptile birds and the only surviving members of the Opisthocomidae family. This family name in Greek means “long hair behind,” referring to their snazzy hairdo. These fowls with sassy hair can be found in the tropical mangroves and swamps of South America. They closely resemble colorful pheasants, and feature a tiny head over a long neck, and their blue faces are featherless. They have dark red eyes, a white breast, a brown tail, and rufous underwings. Over their head, they grow a rufous, spiky clump of hair.

Victoria Crowned Pigeon

When we try to visualize birds with mohawks, we don’t usually think of pigeons, but that should be considered a gross underestimation. The Victoria crowned pigeon belongs to the dove family of Columbidae. These striking birds are named after England’s Queen Victoria, and they thrive in the marshy forests of New Guinea. They feature a blue-gray plumage on their back and have a maroon chest. Their best feature is the stunning blue-feathered crest, resembling the feathers one can see on a peacock’s tail.

Gray Crowned Crane

Without a second thought, we can all agree that the Gray Crowned crane’s royal hairdo is suitable for a king—golden, stiff feathers offer this crowned bird's head a porcupine-like sensibility. This endangered species of crane can be found throughout Africa, and they rely on heat to thrive.
