King Penguin
Breeds on sub-Antarctic islands with flat or gently sloping beaches. Forages in the Southern Ocean.

Exquisite, melancholic melody of thin whistled phrases, rising and falling softly. Rich, warbling song year-round; both sexes sing. Alarm call is a sharp 'tic-tic-tic'.

About These Birds
European Robin
イギリスの非公式の国鳥で、縄張り意識が強く、一年中さえずる。民話では鳥の中の特別な地位を持つ。
King Penguin
