About These Birds

Common Nightingale

나이팅게일은 조류 중 최고의 가수 중 하나로 칭송받으며, 수십 가지의 풍부하고 복잡한 음표로 이루어진 노래로 유명하다. 수컷은 낮과 밤을 가리지 않고 노래하며 특히 봄 번식기에 활발하다.

Wilson's Bird-of-paradise

Wilson's bird-of-paradise is one of the most extraordinarily colored birds on Earth. Males meticulously clear a patch of forest floor as a display court, removing every leaf and twig. The species was virtually unknown to science until the late 20th century due to its restricted island range.
