About These Birds
Stockente
Die Stockente ist die Stammform der meisten Hausentenrassen und die häufigste und am weitesten verbreitete Schwimmente der Welt. Erpel zeigen aufwendige Balzrituale, darunter Kopfnicken und pfeifend-grunzende Rufe. Stockenten sind äußerst anpassungsfähig und gedeihen sowohl in der Wildnis als auch in städtischen Lebensräumen.
Raggiparadiesvogel
Der Raggiparadiesvogel ist der Nationalvogel von Papua-Neuguinea und ziert die Nationalflagge sowie das Staatswappen. Männchen versammeln sich an traditionellen Balzbäumen, um kunstvolle Balztänze aufzuführen, wobei sie kopfüber hängen und ihre spektakulären Flankenfedern schütteln. Alfred Russel Wallace beschrieb die Art erstmals 1873.
