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.
Common Nightingale
나이팅게일은 조류 중 최고의 가수 중 하나로 칭송받으며, 수십 가지의 풍부하고 복잡한 음표로 이루어진 노래로 유명하다. 수컷은 낮과 밤을 가리지 않고 노래하며 특히 봄 번식기에 활발하다.
