About These Birds
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.
Amami Jay
The Amami Jay is a vulnerable corvid weighing 125 g with a broad 34.8 cm wingspan, endemic to the Amami Islands of southern Japan. It has striking blue and chestnut plumage and inhabits subtropical broadleaf forests where it caches food.
