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.
European Goldfinch
A liquid, tinkling 'swit-swit-swit' in flight and a melodic twittering song. Flocks produce a bright jingling chorus. Male song is a sweet repetitive warble incorporating the flight call.

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.
European Goldfinch
방울새는 빨간 얼굴, 노란 날개 띠, 딸랑거리는 노랫소리로 사랑받는 화려한 핀치이다. 엉겅퀴와 같은 식물의 씨앗을 빼내는 뾰족한 부리로 유명하다.
