Birds are the happiest creatures in this world, as the Italian poet and thinker Giacomo Leopardi (1798 to 1837) raved about our feathered friends. In fact, statistically speaking, there are about six individual birds for every person on Earth. Worldwide, there are around 10,000 species estimated at 50 billion individuals, who have delighted humanity with their fascinating songs and often colorful plumage since time immemorial.
