About These Birds

Amerikanerkrähe

Die Amerikanerkrähe ist einer der bekanntesten und intelligentesten Vögel Nordamerikas. Untersuchungen zeigen, dass sie einzelne menschliche Gesichter wiedererkennen und wahrgenommene Bedrohungen an andere Krähen weitergeben können. In manchen Städten bilden sie riesige Winterschlafplätze mit bis zu Hunderttausenden Individuen.

Beautiful Jay

It has striking brilliant blue plumage with a black mask, and is considered one of the most attractive jays. It forages in small groups in the forest canopy and midstory, feeding on insects, fruits, and small vertebrates.
