About These Birds

Asian Crested Ibis

55–77 cm. White overall; bare red facial skin; long drooping nape plumes; pinkish wash in breeding. Endangered; reduced to near-extinction by 1981 (7 individuals in Japan) but recovered through captive breeding to thousands. Resident Japan, China, Korea; feeds on fish and crustaceans in rice paddies.

Rosalöffler

Der Rosalöffler ist die einzige Löfflerart Amerikas und einer der auffälligsten Watvögel der westlichen Hemisphäre. Wie bei Flamingos stammt seine rosa Farbe von Carotinoid-Pigmenten aus seiner Beute an Krebstieren. Im 19. Jahrhundert wegen seiner Federn fast bis zur Ausrottung bejagt, haben sich die Bestände seither erheblich erholt.
