About These Birds
Common Starling
찌르레기는 수천 마리가 함께 복잡한 공중 패턴을 만들어내는 군무로 유명하다. 번식기의 화려한 반점 깃털이 계절에 따라 변하며 농경지, 도심, 해안가 등 다양한 서식지에서 번성한다.
뱀잡이수리
The secretary bird is the only raptor that hunts primarily on foot, striding through grasslands on crane-like legs up to 1.2 meters tall. Its name may derive from the crest feathers resembling quill pens tucked behind a secretary's ear. The species is classified as Endangered due to habitat loss and decline across much of its range.
