About These Birds
Eastern Bluebird
동부파랑새는 북미에서 행복의 상징으로 사랑받는 새이다. 한때 농약과 집 짓기 경쟁으로 급감했지만, 둥지 박스 설치 운동 덕분에 개체군이 크게 회복되었다. 수컷은 짙은 파란 윗면과 녹슨 붉은 가슴을 자랑한다.
Great Tit
The great tit is the largest European tit and one of the most studied wild birds in the world. Research at Wytham Woods in Oxford has monitored great tit populations since the 1940s, contributing enormously to ecology and evolution. These innovative birds famously learned to open milk bottle tops in 20th-century Britain.
