Hammers are seen in southern Sahara, Madagascar and Southwestern countries of Africa. They are about 2 feet tall and the entire body is georgi or geography. Hook-shaped lips and short legs are black and black. It may seem like a lot to our country. They live by eating snails, frogs, small fishes and aquatic insects.Hammer birds make up their nests on the breeding cycle. They make the house 3-5 times a year. But the same house can be used year after year. Their home size is unusually bigger and stronger. They also found a tall house of 4.1 feet.

To make the houses strong, using 8-10 thousand tree trunks of straw and clay. Observing a behavior of birds proves the reason for building such a strong house. They travel around for a long time keeping eggs, cubs and so on. As a result, they build such a strong house to protect them from predatory animals.

Hammer birds are still at risk of extinction. Among the reasons behind the decline of these numbers are some of the prevalent prejudices, tales and legends. It is heard from many African residents that these birds have witchcraft powers to bring bad luck. They can predict the death of a person by looking at the image of a person in the shade of water. Again, when these birds see the evil fate, then they produce three alarm sounds on the person's house.Then the person died. Another story is also that, if this bird flies over someone's head, then something bad can happen to her. They also called the thunderbolt to burn someone's house. Although we believe in a proverb that 'cows do not die in the form of vultures', Africans may not believe it. They think that if someone wants this bird, one of them can make the cow sick. Besides, if a pregnant woman imitates the word of this bird, her baby will also cry like a similar sound.Whether the words are incredible or ridiculous, what is it? For these beliefs, the indigenous people have tried to stay away from these birds. And the number of these birds is still not so much today.

Then after absorbing the special type of enzymes they absorb it and absorb it in the gut.

Although terrible for earthworms, they do not directly harm humans. May be worn by earthworms and destroy the soil. However, many people think that if there is no worm, the number of earthworms in the terrestrial ecosystem may increase and environmental damage may occur.
