The hoopoe (scientific name: upupa epops), also known as the puffer, puffer, puff or squid, is a species of hoopoe birds.

The Hopoe family is taxonomically a family in the order Bucerotiformes of the class Ornithischia. It is mainly distributed in Europe, Asia and North Africa, and is widely distributed in China.

Breeding methods: During the breeding period, males often fight with each other to protect their territory; During the fight, the two sides approached each other, first towering their feather crowns and their beaks stretched down as far as possible, and suddenly biting the tips of each other's mouths, pulling into a straight line like a tug-of-war to maintain a certain safe distance, and then the two joined together and flapped their wings together and fell apart, continuing to impact each other on the ground until one side gave in.

The breeding season is from April to June. Breed in pairs of nests. Sometimes there is a competition between males and females.

The female waits from the sidelines and finally forms a pair with the winner. Nests are usually found at the edge of the forest or in the natural tree holes on both sides of the forest road, or in the abandoned holes of woodpeckers. The size and diameter of the cave mouth varies greatly with the environment, and in the farmland area at the foot of the mountain, where there is a lack of tree holes, nests are also camped between the holes in the walls of abandoned houses and the crevices of cliff walls, and even lay eggs under the piles of dry branches on the ground.

Nests are made up of plant stems and leaves, sometimes mixed with plant roots, feathers, and hairs.
