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.
Australian Ibis
65–76 cm. White with bare black head; black wingtips; glossy blue-black ornamental plumes in breeding. Resident across Australia and New Guinea in wetlands, grasslands, and urban areas. Common and adaptable; increasingly abundant in cities. Feeds by probing for invertebrates and foraging in rubbish.
