About These Birds
Kernbeißer
Der Kernbeißer besitzt im Verhältnis zu seiner Körpergröße den kräftigsten Schnabel aller europäischen Vögel und kann Kirschkerne knacken, für die eine Kraft von 27 bis 43 kg nötig ist. Trotz seines markanten Erscheinungsbilds ist er bekanntermaßen scheu und schwer zu beobachten. Sein Schädel weist besondere Anpassungen auf, um die enormen beim Kernknacken entstehenden Kräfte abzufedern.
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.
