About These Birds
Hawfinch
シメはヨーロッパの鳥の中で体の大きさに対して最も強力なくちばしを持ち、27〜43 kgの力でサクランボの種を割ることができる。その特徴的な外見にもかかわらず、著名なほど恥ずかしがり屋で観察が難しい。種割り時に発生する巨大な力を吸収するための頭骨の特殊な適応を持つ。
Wilson's Bird-of-paradise
Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
