Mehri people live in the Arabian Peninsula. There are many different birds live in the Mehri people's homeland. Since Yemen is a country that Asia, Africa and Europe come together at, the diversity of birds thrive. There are about 400 different species of birds found in Yemen. The list of birds in this area continues to grow annually.
Grebes are popular birds that could be found in this area. They are fresh-water diving birds that are medium in size. They are very good at swimming and diving but their feet make it hard for them to travel on land.
Shear-water and Petrels are also found in Mehri's homeland. Five different species of these birds are found in this area. Storm petrels are the smallest sea-birds who feed on small fish. Other birds that could be found are Tropicbirds, Pelicans,
Boobies, Gannets, Cormorants, and Storks. Boobies are one of the birds that I found most interesting while undergoing my research of types of birds in this region. Their name is unique, but that isn't the only thing that separates them from most birds out there. They dive from tall heights and hunt fish by pushing them far into the water. Boobies also have blue feet, which is also very unique and awesome.
