About These Birds
Rosaflamingo
Der Rosaflamingo ist die am weitesten verbreitete Flamingoart und einer der bekanntesten Vögel der Welt. Seine rosa Farbe stammt ausschließlich von Carotinoid-Pigmenten in seiner Nahrung aus Krebstieren und Algen. Flamingos sind gesellige Vögel, die in riesigen Kolonien brüten, die mitunter Zehntausende Individuen umfassen.
Blauer Pfau
Der Blaue Pfau ist der Nationalvogel Indiens und einer der spektakulärsten Vögel der Welt. Die riesige, über zwei Meter lange Schleppe des Pfaus wird bei aufwendigen Balzritualen gefächert und in Vibration versetzt. Trotz ihrer Größe können Pfauen kurze Strecken fliegen und übernachten in hohen Bäumen.
