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.
Azores Bullfinch
The Azores Bullfinch is a Vulnerable finch endemic to the Azores Islands, weighing about 30.3g with a wingspan of 16.7cm. It inhabits laurel forest on São Miguel Island and feeds on seeds, buds, and berries. Habitat loss has historically threatened this species, though conservation efforts have stabilized its population.
