About These Birds
Papageitaucher
Der Papageitaucher, oft als Clown der Meere bezeichnet, ist ein charismatischer Seevogel, der in Höhlen an nördlichen Meeresklippen brütet. Dank rückwärts gerichteter Dornen am Gaumen kann er bis zu einem Dutzend Fische quer im Schnabel tragen. Klimawandel und Überfischung bedrohen sein Nahrungsangebot und führen zu Bestandsrückgängen.
Steinadler
Der Steinadler zählt zu den kraftvollsten und wendigsten Greifvögeln der nördlichen Hemisphäre. Von zahlreichen Kulturen verehrt, wird er seit Jahrhunderten in der Falknerei eingesetzt, insbesondere von kasachischen Adlerjägern Zentralasiens. Bei der Jagd können Steinadler im Sturzflug Geschwindigkeiten von über 240 km/h erreichen.
