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.
Kernbeißer
Der Kernbeißer besitzt im Verhältnis zu seiner Körpergröße den kräftigsten Schnabel aller europäischen Vögel und kann Kirschkerne knacken, für die eine Kraft von 27 bis 43 kg nötig ist. Trotz seines markanten Erscheinungsbilds ist er bekanntermaßen scheu und schwer zu beobachten. Sein Schädel weist besondere Anpassungen auf, um die enormen beim Kernknacken entstehenden Kräfte abzufedern.
