About These Birds
Stieglitz
Der Stieglitz ist ein auffallend schöner Fink, dessen silbriger Gesang und farbenprächtiges Gefieder ihn seit Jahrhunderten in der Kunst und als Käfigvogel beliebt gemacht haben. In Renaissance-Gemälden erscheint er häufig als Symbol der Passion Christi. Ein Schwarm Stieglitze wird im Englischen liebevoll als „charm“ (Zauber) bezeichnet.
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.
