List of 50+ Birds in French

In the morning, when you wake up, you hear the sound of a rooster crowing (assuming you wake up at 6:00 AM which I definitely don’t!!!) You can then hear the chirping of many birds, the cooing of pigeons, the hooting of an owl, the caw of a crow and many more. As a child, I spent hours seeing videos and documentaries on the animals channel learning about birds along with the rest of the animal kingdom.
