About These Birds

Blauhäher

Der Blauhäher ist ein mutiges, intelligentes Mitglied der Rabenvögel, bekannt für sein auffälliges Gefieder und seine lauten Rufe. Als wichtiger Verbreiter von Eichen versteckt er jeden Herbst Tausende Eicheln. Zu seinem komplexen Sozialverhalten gehört das Nachahmen von Bussardrufen, um andere Vögel von Futterstellen zu vertreiben.

Asir Magpie

The Asir Magpie is an Endangered corvid restricted to the Asir Mountains of southwestern Saudi Arabia. Weighing about 200g with a wingspan of 38.9cm, it resembles other magpies with black-and-white plumage and a long tail.
