About These Birds
Lachender Hans
Der Lachende Hans ist der größte Eisvogel der Welt und berühmt für seinen schallenden, lachähnlichen Ruf, der zu einem unverkennbaren Klang des australischen Busches geworden ist. Obwohl er zu den Eisvögeln zählt, frisst er nur selten Fisch und bevorzugt Beute vom Boden. Familiengruppen stimmen bei Sonnenauf- und -untergang gemeinsame Rufchöre an, um ihr Revier zu markieren.
Beach Kingfisher
The Beach Kingfisher is a large, boldly marked kingfisher found along the coasts and offshore islands of New Guinea and adjacent islands. It has a striking white head and underparts, turquoise-green back and wings, and a large, heavy bill. It perches on prominent coastal vantage points, hunting lizards, crabs, fish, and large insects.
