About These Birds

유럽 찌르레기는 유럽에서 가장 친숙하고 사랑받는 명금 중 하나로, 수컷은 광택 있는 검은 깃털과 노란 눈 테두리, 노란 부리가 특징적이다. 풍부하고 유연한 노래로 유명하며 도심 정원부터 깊은 숲까지 광범위한 서식지에서 번성한다.
Great Cormorant
The great cormorant is one of the most widespread seabirds in the world. Unlike most waterbirds, cormorants lack fully waterproof plumage, leading to the iconic pose of standing with wings spread open to dry. In Asia, cormorants have been used by fishermen to catch fish for over a thousand years.
