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.
House Sparrow
집참새는 아마도 세계에서 인간과 함께 가장 성공적인 새일 것이다. 처음에는 중동에서 기원했지만 인간의 교역로와 정착지를 따라 전 세계로 퍼졌다. 씨앗, 곤충, 음식물 쓰레기를 먹는 기회주의적 잡식성이다.
