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.
Harpyie
Die Harpyie zählt zu den kraftvollsten Greifvögeln der Welt und besitzt Krallen von der Größe der Klauen eines Grizzlybären. Sie ist der Nationalvogel Panamas. Die größte Bedrohung für die Art ist die Abholzung der Wälder, da jedes Brutpaar ein weites Revier unberührten Waldes benötigt.
