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.
Laughing Kookaburra
The laughing kookaburra is the largest kingfisher in the world, famous for its raucous laughing call that has become an iconic sound of the Australian bush. Despite being a kingfisher, it rarely eats fish, preferring terrestrial prey. Family groups perform chorus calls at dawn and dusk to mark their territory.
