About These Birds
Amsel
Die Amsel ist einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Singvögel Europas, geschätzt für ihren volltönenden, flötenden Gesang, den sie in der Morgen- und Abenddämmerung von Dächern und Baumwipfeln vorträgt. Ursprünglich ein scheuer Waldvogel, hat sie im Laufe der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte städtische Lebensräume besiedelt und sich zu einem der erfolgreichsten Stadtvögel entwickelt.
Black-eared Ground-thrush
The Black-eared Ground-thrush is a secretive forest thrush with warm olive-brown upperparts, a boldly spotted white underside, and a distinctive black ear patch. It is found in lowland and montane rainforests of west-central Africa, particularly Cameroon and surrounding regions. It forages quietly on the forest floor, turning leaf litter to find invertebrates, earthworms, and small fruits.
