About These Birds
Barn Swallow
제비는 세계에서 가장 넓게 분포하는 제비류이며, 어떤 참새목 조류보다 가장 긴 이동을 합니다. 북반구 전역에서 봄의 도래를 알리며, 고대 그리스에서 현대 시에 이르기까지 문화적 참고가 되고 있습니다. 제비는 둥지를 위해 인공 구조물에 거의 완전히 의존하게 되었습니다.
Peregrine Falcon
매는 세계에서 가장 빠른 동물로, 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km 이상의 속도를 낼 수 있습니다. 남극 대륙을 제외한 전 세계에 분포하며 도시 고층 건물에서도 번식합니다. DDT 사용으로 20세기 중반 크게 줄었다가 현재 회복되었습니다.
