🐦Eurasian Hoopoe
A poupa-eur(o)asiática (Upupa epops), ou poupa-comum, é uma ave da ordem Bucerotiformes (incluída nos Coraciiformes ou Upupiformes segundo algumas classificações). A poupa-eurasiática possui 27 cm de comprimento. Apresenta formas e coloridos característicos: longa crista alaranjada, com extremidades negras, que ela pode abrir ou fechar em leque à vontade; bico comprido e cavado, asas e cauda pintalgadas de negro e branco. Vive em locais secos e quentes: pomares, vinhas abandonadas, parques e orlas de florestas. Alimenta-se de larvas, vermes e pequenos lagartos. Na Europa esta ave é uma migradora nidificante sendo no entanto residente no sul de Portugal e Espanha. Outrora considerada a única espécie viva da família Upupidae, foi posteriormente separada em quatro espécies, das quais uma se encontra extinta: Poupa-africana (Upupa africana) Poupa-gigante ou poupa-de-santa-helena (Upupa antaios) † Poupa-eurasiática (Upupa epops) Poupa-malgaxe (Upupa marginata)
