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.
Akohekohe
The Akohekohe, or Crested Honeycreeper, is a critically endangered Hawaiian bird weighing about 27 g with a wingspan near 18 cm. Endemic to the windward slopes of Haleakala on Maui, it is recognised by its spectacular white-tufted crest and striking orange nape, feeding primarily on nectar from native flowers.
