About These Birds

Common Myna

ハッカチョウ(Acridotheres tristis)— 南アジア原産で世界各地に移入された強い適応力をもつムクドリ科の鳥。黄色い嘴と目の周りの黄色い皮膚が特徴。

シロエリハゲワシ

The griffon vulture is one of Europe's largest flying birds and a crucial scavenger in Mediterranean ecosystems. These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping. Vulture populations faced a crisis from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which proved fatal when consumed through contaminated carcasses.
