About These Birds
Arabian Serin
The Arabian Serin is a small finch endemic to southwestern Arabia, weighing about 14 grams with a wingspan near 13 cm. It inhabits montane scrub and terraced cultivation in the highlands of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, feeding on small seeds. This compact seed-eater is closely related to other African and Arabian serins in the Fringillidae family.
Picogordo
El picogordo es un pinzón de gran tamaño con un pico enorme y poderoso adaptado para partir semillas duras. Tiene plumaje marrón-anaranjado con alas negras y blancas. Mide unos 16-18 cm. Habita en bosques caducifolios y mixtos de Europa, Asia central y este asiático. Se alimenta principalmente de semillas de cerezo, acebo y olivo, que puede partir con su robusto pico. Especie tímida y difícil de observar a pesar de su gran tamaño entre los pinzones.
