Flowers That Look Like Birds

Parrot Flower The parrot flower is a stunning purple flower that resembles a bird and is found on a variety of balsam tree that is indigenous to Southeast Asia. As you may expect, the unusual form that resembles a parrot soaring is how it got its name.

Moon Orchid The moon orchid represents one of the most common types of orchid and is fairly simple to cultivate inside as well as outside, provided it is not exposed to direct sunlight. The flowers, which range in hue from bright white to mottled and an array of vibrant solid shades, may flower at any point throughout the year.

Dove Orchid The dove orchid, an astonishing plant endemic to Panama and its neighboring nations, is a unique white blossom that resembles a bird. The blossoms resemble white peonies at a distance. Yet, if you look closely, you can see that the middle resembles a white dove nesting. 

Moth Orchid The moth orchid, sometimes known as the bird orchid, is a very similar species of orchid to the moon orchid and is quite common indoors. The flowers resemble moon orchids in terms of appearance and color, but the center of each flower has an exquisite appearance of a phoenix or bird of paradise fluttering within.

Bird of Paradise When considering flowers that resemble birds, the South African bird of paradise plant is frequently the initial one that people think of. In warm climates, this attractive plant can be grown outdoors quite easily.

Western Bearded Greenhood A species of orchid called the western bearded greenhood is distinguished by a green blossom with a hummingbird-like shape. It is indigenous to Southwest Australia and thrives mostly in subtropical forests and dense forests.  

White Egret Orchid Another orchid making the list is the white egret orchid. This flower is from Korea and Japan. It resembles an egret caught in the midst of flying. This plant has an otherworldly appearance due to its fragile flowers, which resemble paper carvings.

Regal Bird Flower The regal bird flower, another hummingbird-like flower from Australia, belongs to the legume family and is a relative of both beans and peas. This flower grows naturally in the mild northern portion of Australia. It may flourish anywhere else so long as the plant is indoors throughout the winter. 

Callista Primula Callista Primula is an orchid, despite what its name might imply. Despite how it looks, this plant is also not a bird, though it may fool you! The frilled labellum, which is a wide oval shape, actually resembles an open tail, similar to a peacock during mating season.

Flying Duck Orchid One of the most amazing orchid varieties is the flying duck orchid, which has an intense purple blossom that resembles a wood duck. It grows naturally in the outback of Australia, where conditions are tough and pollinators are scarce.
