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.
Raggiana Bird-of-paradise
The raggiana bird-of-paradise is the national bird of Papua New Guinea, featured on the national flag and coat of arms. Males gather at traditional display trees to perform elaborate courtship dances, hanging upside down and shaking their spectacular flank plumes. Alfred Russel Wallace first described the species in 1873.
