Perching birds have strong feet and gripping toes that they use to perch. They have four toes, with three directed forward and one backward.
Perching birds are also referred to as songbirds because most of the birds in this group sing to attract mates or to establish territory.
Perching birds or Passerines are also considered as the most adaptive and intelligent of the birds.
