About These Birds
Arabian Serin
The Arabian Serin is a small finch endemic to southwestern Arabia, weighing about 14 grams with a wingspan near 13 cm. It inhabits montane scrub and terraced cultivation in the highlands of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, feeding on small seeds. This compact seed-eater is closely related to other African and Arabian serins in the Fringillidae family.
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.
