Song & Call Comparison
Barn Owl
An eerie, drawn-out rasping shriek 'shreeeeee' — not a hoot. Also gives hissing, snoring, and bill-snapping when disturbed. Chicks call with a persistent rasping hunger call.
Demoiselle Crane
A high-pitched, bugling 'karr-r-r' in flight. Also gives softer clucking and purring contact calls. Migrating flocks produce a continuous musical babbling audible from great distance.

About These Birds
Barn Owl
헛간올빼미는 어떤 올빼미보다 가장 비대칭적인 귀를 가지고 있어, 동물계에서 가장 정밀한 청각 위치 파악 능력을 지닙니다. 소리만으로 완전한 어둠 속에서 먹이를 잡을 수 있습니다. 헛간올빼미의 독특한 하트 모양 얼굴은 포물면 접시처럼 작용하여 소리를 어긋난 귀로 집중시킵니다.
Demoiselle Crane
쇠두루미는 가장 작은 두루미 종이지만 가장 혹독한 이동을 하며, 해발 8,000m 이상의 히말라야를 넘어 인도의 월동지로 향한다. 우아한 외모로 마리 앙투아네트에게 명명되었으며 세계에서 두 번째로 풍부한 두루미 종이다.
