About These Birds
Kohlmeise
Die Kohlmeise ist die größte europäische Meisenart und einer der am besten erforschten Wildvögel der Welt. Studien im Wytham Wood bei Oxford verfolgen die Kohlmeisenpopulation bereits seit den 1940er-Jahren und haben enorm zur Ökologie- und Evolutionsforschung beigetragen. Berühmt wurde die einfallsreiche Kohlmeise dafür, dass sie im Großbritannien des 20. Jahrhunderts lernte, Milchflaschendeckel zu öffnen.
Black-capped Chickadee
The Black-capped Chickadee is one of North America's most beloved small birds, with its distinctive black cap and bib, white cheeks, and soft grey and buffy plumage. It inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, gardens, and suburban areas across northern North America from Alaska to Newfoundland and south through the Appalachians. It feeds on seeds, insects, and berries, and is well known for caching food for winter.
