About These Birds
Rosalöffler
Der Rosalöffler ist die einzige Löfflerart Amerikas und einer der auffälligsten Watvögel der westlichen Hemisphäre. Wie bei Flamingos stammt seine rosa Farbe von Carotinoid-Pigmenten aus seiner Beute an Krebstieren. Im 19. Jahrhundert wegen seiner Federn fast bis zur Ausrottung bejagt, haben sich die Bestände seither erheblich erholt.
Reunion Ibis
Extinct; known from bone material and historical accounts from Réunion. White ibis that lived on Réunion until exterminated by hunting after European settlement in the 17th century. Long confused with other species in historical records; related to African Sacred Ibis.
