About These Birds
Black Grasswren
The Black Grasswren is a secretive, ground-dwelling wren with predominantly black plumage streaked with white on the back and flanks, adapted to its rocky habitat. It is endemic to the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia, inhabiting sandstone gorges and escarpments covered with spinifex grass. It forages on the ground for seeds and insects, using its strong legs to hop and run through rocky terrain.
Prachtstaffelschwanz
Der Prachtstaffelschwanz ist einer der beliebtesten und bekanntesten Vögel Australiens; brütende Männchen tragen ein spektakuläres violett-blaues Gefieder. Diese winzigen Vögel leben in kooperativen Familiengruppen, in denen Helfer dem Brutpaar bei der Aufzucht der Jungen zur Seite stehen. Männchen pflücken gelbe Blütenblätter und überreichen sie den Weibchen im Rahmen der Balz.
