About These Birds
Andaman Treepie
The Andaman Treepie is a vulnerable corvid with a 23.3 cm wingspan, weighing 102.5 grams, endemic to the Andaman Islands. It inhabits forest and woodland, foraging omnivourously for insects, fruit, and small animals. Its restricted range on the islands makes it conservation-dependent.
Elster
Die Elster zählt zu den intelligentesten Tieren der Erde und war das erste Nicht-Säugetier, dem eine Selbsterkennung im Spiegel nachgewiesen wurde. Diese dreisten Rabenvögel bauen kunstvolle, kuppelförmige Nester aus Zweigen und gelten als Liebhaber glänzender Gegenstände, wenngleich dieser Ruf möglicherweise übertrieben ist.
