About These Birds
Steinadler
Der Steinadler zählt zu den kraftvollsten und wendigsten Greifvögeln der nördlichen Hemisphäre. Von zahlreichen Kulturen verehrt, wird er seit Jahrhunderten in der Falknerei eingesetzt, insbesondere von kasachischen Adlerjägern Zentralasiens. Bei der Jagd können Steinadler im Sturzflug Geschwindigkeiten von über 240 km/h erreichen.
Lachender Hans
Der Lachende Hans ist der größte Eisvogel der Welt und berühmt für seinen schallenden, lachähnlichen Ruf, der zu einem unverkennbaren Klang des australischen Busches geworden ist. Obwohl er zu den Eisvögeln zählt, frisst er nur selten Fisch und bevorzugt Beute vom Boden. Familiengruppen stimmen bei Sonnenauf- und -untergang gemeinsame Rufchöre an, um ihr Revier zu markieren.
