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.
Arabian Grosbeak
The Arabian Grosbeak is a near-threatened finch from the mountains of Oman and Yemen, weighing about 30 grams with a wingspan near 18 cm. Its heavy bill is adapted for cracking hard seeds and fruit stones in montane forest and dense scrub habitats. The restricted range of this stocky finch makes it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
