About These Birds
Kernbeißer
Der Kernbeißer besitzt im Verhältnis zu seiner Körpergröße den kräftigsten Schnabel aller europäischen Vögel und kann Kirschkerne knacken, für die eine Kraft von 27 bis 43 kg nötig ist. Trotz seines markanten Erscheinungsbilds ist er bekanntermaßen scheu und schwer zu beobachten. Sein Schädel weist besondere Anpassungen auf, um die enormen beim Kernknacken entstehenden Kräfte abzufedern.
Akiapolaau
The Akiapolaau is an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper weighing about 27 g with a wingspan near 15 cm. Endemic to the Big Island of Hawaii, it is notable for its highly specialised bill — a short, straight lower mandible for hammering and a long, curved upper mandible for probing bark for beetle larvae.
