About These Birds
Águila real
El águila real es uno de los rapaces más poderosos y ágiles del hemisferio norte. Venerada por numerosas culturas, se ha empleado en la cetrería durante siglos, en particular por los cazadores kazajos de Asia Central. Las águilas reales pueden alcanzar velocidades superiores a los 240 km/h al lanzarse en picado sobre sus presas.
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.
