About These Birds
Apolinar's Wren
Apolinar's Wren is an endangered marsh wren endemic to Colombia's Eastern Andes, weighing about 18 grams with a wingspan near 11 cm. It inhabits reed beds and wetland vegetation in high-altitude bogotá savanna wetlands. Severe habitat loss from wetland drainage has pushed this secretive wren toward endangerment.
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.
