About These Birds
Southern Bald Ibis
79 cm. Glossy black with metallic sheen; bare pink facial skin; red bill and legs. Endemic to South Africa and Lesotho in mountain grasslands and escarpments. Vulnerable; feeds on insects and small vertebrates in short grassland. Colonial breeder on cliff ledges; at risk from pesticides and habitat loss.
Rosalöffler
Der Rosalöffler ist die einzige Löfflerart Amerikas und einer der auffälligsten Watvögel der westlichen Hemisphäre. Wie bei Flamingos stammt seine rosa Farbe von Carotinoid-Pigmenten aus seiner Beute an Krebstieren. Im 19. Jahrhundert wegen seiner Federn fast bis zur Ausrottung bejagt, haben sich die Bestände seither erheblich erholt.
