About These Birds
Blauhäher
Der Blauhäher ist ein mutiges, intelligentes Mitglied der Rabenvögel, bekannt für sein auffälliges Gefieder und seine lauten Rufe. Als wichtiger Verbreiter von Eichen versteckt er jeden Herbst Tausende Eicheln. Zu seinem komplexen Sozialverhalten gehört das Nachahmen von Bussardrufen, um andere Vögel von Futterstellen zu vertreiben.
Black-collared Jay
The Black-collared Jay is a striking, medium-sized jay of Andean cloud forests in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, with deep blue plumage, a black head, and a distinctive narrow black collar. It inhabits the canopy and edges of humid montane forests at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 meters. It feeds on insects, berries, small vertebrates, and eggs.
