Cute bird Hoopoe

A real Hoopoe
Hoopoes are widespread in Europe, Asia and Northern Africa, as well as Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, and migrate from all but the southernmost part of their range to the tropics in winter.

The Hoopoe's habitat is open cultivated ground with short grass or bare patches. They spend a lot of time on the ground hunting for insects and worms. The song is 'oop-oop-oop', which gives rise to its name.
