About These Birds

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.

Seeadler

Der Seeadler ist der größte Adler Europas und der viertgrößte der Welt. Einst in Großbritannien ausgestorben, wurde er durch Schutzprogramme erfolgreich in Schottland und Irland wiederangesiedelt. Diese kraftvollen Greifvögel können über 25 Jahre alt werden und gehen lebenslange Paarbindungen ein.
