About These Birds
Atlantic Puffin
대서양퍼핀은 '바다의 광대'라 불리는 매력적인 바닷새로, 북부 해식애의 굴에 둥지를 틉니다. 입천장의 뒤를 향한 가시 덕분에 한 번에 12마리의 물고기를 부리에 횡으로 물 수 있습니다. 기후 변화와 남획이 먹이 공급을 위협하면서 개체수가 감소하고 있습니다.
Barn Swallow
제비는 세계에서 가장 넓게 분포하는 제비류이며, 어떤 참새목 조류보다 가장 긴 이동을 합니다. 북반구 전역에서 봄의 도래를 알리며, 고대 그리스에서 현대 시에 이르기까지 문화적 참고가 되고 있습니다. 제비는 둥지를 위해 인공 구조물에 거의 완전히 의존하게 되었습니다.
