Creative 404 Webpage Error with Flamingoes, Vultures and Collared Owlet (Mine)

Mallards in flight, a wader, and a family of grebe in the pond plus a flying swift/swallow species were being observed by a girl through her binoculars - this makes for a great introduction to birdwatching in terms of visualization should anyone starting a website or needing promotional material on birds & birdwatching, whether you are a teacher or a volunteer or journalist or website designer/administrator or a hobbyist or working with an environmental organization (local or international) and need cool graphics to promote events like World Migratory Bird Day, Asian Waterbirds Census, World Wetlands Day and more. The banner above was sourced from this website which you can explore HERE . Sometimes, organizations, schools, companies, etc have websites where web users may encounter a webpage that does not exist, has been moved or has a dead or broken link. This is known as the 404 error code, one of the most frequent errors a web or internet user may encounter. When that happens the IT team should be provided with innovative and creative website templates to alert, inform and educate the internet user accordingly about a 404 error occurring. INSIDER has compiled the most creative 404 error pages on the web in 2015 which you can read about, view (and chuckle accordingly) HERE.  

The World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) has a very creative way to alert web/internet users who visit their website above. For more creative 404 webpages, you can browse through funny ones including Dilbert's tip to drain the Internet which the dinosaur-age manager takes too literally, HERE. Vultures were associated with DEAD LINKS for a 404 Page Error by Incore, a software development company (as demonstrated via their webpage below). You can see how NASA incorporated cosmic humour and LEGO's iconic bricks into their 404 error webpages HERE
For more practical tips including how to fix 404 error pages, find out through an
article HERE. The 404 error page for my website will feature pictures of the Collared Owlet which I took from Fraser Hill where I'd recommend for my website visitors to return Home to me by clicking on the Home page of my website:)
