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.
Akikiki
The Akikiki is a critically endangered Hawaiian creeper weighing about 14 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. Endemic to the forests of Kauai, it creeps along tree trunks and branches searching for insects, and faces severe threats from introduced diseases and predators.
