About These Birds
Nymphensittich
Der Nymphensittich ist das kleinste Mitglied der Familie der Kakadus und einer der weltweit beliebtesten Ziervögel. Diese sanftmütigen, intelligenten Papageien können lernen, Melodien zu pfeifen und Geräusche nachzuahmen. Wildlebende Nymphensittiche sind Nomaden und ziehen im Schwarm durch das australische Outback, dem Nahrungs- und Wasserangebot folgend.
Steinadler
Der Steinadler zählt zu den kraftvollsten und wendigsten Greifvögeln der nördlichen Hemisphäre. Von zahlreichen Kulturen verehrt, wird er seit Jahrhunderten in der Falknerei eingesetzt, insbesondere von kasachischen Adlerjägern Zentralasiens. Bei der Jagd können Steinadler im Sturzflug Geschwindigkeiten von über 240 km/h erreichen.
