About These Birds
Black Baza
The Black Baza is a small, striking raptor of South and Southeast Asia with a bold crest, black upperparts, and white underparts barred with chestnut. It inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, including forest edges and secondary growth, from the foothills of the Himalayas through Myanmar, southern China, and the Malay Peninsula. It feeds primarily on large insects, frogs, and lizards, often hunting in small groups.
Gänsegeier
Der Gänsegeier ist einer der größten flugfähigen Vögel Europas und ein unverzichtbarer Aasfresser in mediterranen Ökosystemen. Diese geselligen Vögel brüten in großen Kolonien an Felsklippen und können dank Thermik stundenlang segeln, ohne die Flügel zu schlagen. Geierpopulationen gerieten durch das Tierarzneimittel Diclofenac in eine Krise, das sich bei der Aufnahme über verunreinigte Kadaver als tödlich erwies.
