About These Birds
Bicolored Wren
The Bicolored Wren is a large, conspicuous wren found in open woodland, dry scrub, and savanna edges in northern South America, from Colombia to northeastern Brazil. It has a grey and brown bicolored pattern with a boldly striped head and a loud, musical song. It is highly social, living in family groups that cooperatively defend territories and raise young.
Zaunkönig
Der Zaunkönig ist einer der kleinsten Vögel Europas, besitzt jedoch einen für seine Größe erstaunlich lauten Gesang. Männchen bauen mehrere kuppelförmige Nester, von denen das Weibchen eines zum Auspolstern auswählt. In der britischen Folklore gilt der Zaunkönig als König der Vögel, weil er den Adler in einem Flugwettbewerb überlistete.
