About These Birds
Star
Der Star ist berühmt für seine Schwarmflüge – riesige, wirbelnde Verbände aus Tausenden Vögeln, die am winterlichen Himmel faszinierende Muster bilden. Als geschickter Imitator kann er andere Vogelrufe, Autoalarmanlagen und Handy-Klingeltöne nachahmen. In Nordamerika wurde er von einer Gruppe eingeführt, die jeden von Shakespeare erwähnten Vogel dort ansiedeln wollte.
Apo Myna
The Apo Myna is a near-threatened starling endemic to Mount Apo and surrounding mountains in Mindanao, Philippines, weighing about 109 grams with a wingspan near 24 cm. It inhabits montane forest interiors where it forages for fruit and invertebrates. Its restricted range and ongoing forest loss in Mindanao pose ongoing threats to the species.
