Rocky coastlines and offshore islands of southern Africa. Nests in burrows, under boulders, or in surface scrapes.

Lawns, parks, gardens, farmland, and forest edges. One of the most familiar birds in suburban North America.
Song & Call Comparison
African Penguin
A loud, donkey-like braying 'waaah-waaah' — hence its nickname 'jackass penguin'. Also gives softer grunts and contact calls at the colony. Highly vocal on breeding beaches.
American Robin
A clear, caroling song of 2-3 note phrases: 'cheerily, cheer-up, cheerio'. Sings from dawn perches. Sharp 'tut-tut-tut' alarm call and thin 'seeee' flight note.
Geographic Range & Migration
African Penguin
Coastal southwestern Africa from Namibia to Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The only penguin species breeding in Africa.
American Robin

About These Birds
African Penguin
아프리카펭귄은 아프리카 대륙에 고유한 유일한 펭귄 종으로, 당나귀 울음소리 같은 울음 때문에 자카스펭귄이라고도 불린다. 남아프리카와 나미비아의 해안과 섬에 서식한다. 현재 멸종 위기종으로, 어업과 서식지 훼손으로 인해 지난 세기 동안 개체수가 급격히 감소했다.
American Robin
아메리카울새는 북미 전역에서 봄의 전령으로 널리 알려져 있다. 이름과 달리 실제 유럽울새와 관련이 없으며, 지빠귀과(Turdidae)에 속한다. 빨간 가슴과 노래 소리로 쉽게 알아볼 수 있다.
