About These Birds
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.
Apapane
The Apapane is a vibrant Hawaiian honeycreeper with deep crimson plumage and white undertail coverts, weighing about 15 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. It is one of the most abundant native forest birds in Hawaii, feeding primarily on nectar from native ōhia lehua flowers. Its rapid, looping flight and melodious song are characteristic of Hawaiian forests.
