The Cattle Egret is a small white heron commonly found in warm regions around the world. It is easily recognized by its white plumage and yellow-orange breeding plumage on its head and back. These birds often follow livestock, such as cows and buffalo, to feed on insects disturbed by the animals' movement. Cattle Egrets are social birds that typically live in colonies. They primarily feed on insects, but they also eat small reptiles and amphibians. Their adaptability to various habitats, including grasslands and wetlands, has contributed to their widespread distribution and success in different environments.
