About These Birds
Black-faced Canary
The Black-faced Canary is a small, bright finch with vivid green and yellow plumage and a distinctive black face and throat patch on the male. It inhabits open woodland, forest edges, and gardens of central Africa, from the Democratic Republic of Congo through Uganda and Kenya. It feeds primarily on small seeds and berries, often gathering in flocks that move through the canopy.
Stieglitz
Der Stieglitz ist ein auffallend schöner Fink, dessen silbriger Gesang und farbenprächtiges Gefieder ihn seit Jahrhunderten in der Kunst und als Käfigvogel beliebt gemacht haben. In Renaissance-Gemälden erscheint er häufig als Symbol der Passion Christi. Ein Schwarm Stieglitze wird im Englischen liebevoll als „charm“ (Zauber) bezeichnet.
