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.
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.
