About These Birds
Band-backed Wren
The Band-backed Wren is a large wren found in humid forests and forest edges from Mexico through Central America to northwestern South America, belonging to the family Troglodytidae. Weighing about 30.3g with a wingspan of 15.7cm, it has boldly barred upperparts and lives in noisy social groups. It forages actively through dense vegetation for insects and small invertebrates.
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.
