A surprisingly deep, resonant croaking 'kowrr-kowrr' often heard at dawn on African savannas. Also gives pig-like grunting sounds. Mostly silent compared to true songbirds.

About These Birds

Eurasian Wren

ヨーロッパ最小クラスの鳥の一つで、体の大きさに不釣り合いな大きな声で鳴く。民話では鳥の王様とされる。

ヘビクイワシ

The secretary bird is the only raptor that hunts primarily on foot, striding through grasslands on crane-like legs up to 1.2 meters tall. Its name may derive from the crest feathers resembling quill pens tucked behind a secretary's ear. The species is classified as Endangered due to habitat loss and decline across much of its range.
