About These Birds

Amsel

Die Amsel ist einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Singvögel Europas, geschätzt für ihren volltönenden, flötenden Gesang, den sie in der Morgen- und Abenddämmerung von Dächern und Baumwipfeln vorträgt. Ursprünglich ein scheuer Waldvogel, hat sie im Laufe der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte städtische Lebensräume besiedelt und sich zu einem der erfolgreichsten Stadtvögel entwickelt.
