Savanna birds are species that inhabit the open grasslands and scattered trees of the savanna ecosystem. These birds have adapted to the unique environment, often exhibiting behaviors and physical traits that help them thrive in areas with limited cover. Common examples include the African Grey Hornbill and the Secretary Bird, which are known for their distinctive appearances and hunting skills. Many savanna birds are ground-nesters, relying on camouflage to protect their eggs from predators. They often feed on insects, seeds, and small mammals, playing a crucial role in the food web. Their presence indicates the health of the savanna ecosystem, as they contribute to seed dispersal and pest control.
