About These Birds
Anna's Hummingbird
안나 벌새는 북아메리카 서해안에 서식하는 중간 크기의 벌새입니다. 수컷은 화려한 핫핑크색의 목 깃털을 가지고 있으며, 꽃에서 꿀을 먹고 작은 곤충도 잡아먹습니다.
Shoebill
The shoebill is one of the most sought-after birds for birdwatchers visiting Africa, prized for its prehistoric appearance and massive bill. It can stand motionless for hours before collapsing forward to seize prey in its enormous bill. Despite standing over a meter tall, shoebills weigh relatively little due to their hollow bones.
