About These Birds
Common Kingfisher
물총새는 수로의 눈부신 보석으로, 무지갯빛 파란 깃털과 밝은 주황색 아랫면이 물 위로 화살처럼 다이빙할 때 번쩍인다. 맑은 강과 개울, 호수 가에 서식하며 물고기를 주식으로 삼는다.

The turquoise-fronted amazon is one of the most popular pet parrots in the world, prized for its ability to mimic human speech and its engaging personality. In the wild, these sociable parrots roost communally in large flocks and fly in pairs to feeding sites at dawn. Habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade threaten wild populations.
