Birds of the Shilha
Morocco’s landscape is very barren and
mountainous. This makes it very difficult for many species of birds
to survive in its climate. There are approximately 454 different species of birds that live throughout Morocco. 5 species were introduced by humans from other parts of the world and about 156 are considered rare.
Morocco is home to the world’s largest population of
Northern Bald Ibis. This bird is able to survive in very rocky, barren deserts.
This makes it the perfect bird to survive in Morocco. This migratory bird is
considered critically endangered. It has completely disappeared from Europe and
only about 500 remain throughout southern Morocco. The cultures of Morocco respect
this bird and it is illegal to kill it. Bird watchers from all over the world
travel to Morocco’s Souss-Massa National Park to admire this rare bird species.
