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.
Turquoise-fronted Amazon
The turquoise-fronted amazon is one of the most popular pet parrots in the world, prized for its ability to mimic human speech and its engaging personality. In the wild, these sociable parrots roost communally in large flocks and fly in pairs to feeding sites at dawn. Habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade threaten wild populations.
