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.
Rosaflamingo
Der Rosaflamingo ist die am weitesten verbreitete Flamingoart und einer der bekanntesten Vögel der Welt. Seine rosa Farbe stammt ausschließlich von Carotinoid-Pigmenten in seiner Nahrung aus Krebstieren und Algen. Flamingos sind gesellige Vögel, die in riesigen Kolonien brüten, die mitunter Zehntausende Individuen umfassen.
