Song & Call Comparison

Emu

노래

Deep, resonant booming grunt 'e-moo', often repeated 3 times. Females give a deep drumming call produced by an inflatable throat pouch. Generally low-pitched and far-carrying.

Northern Gannet

노래

Loud, harsh 'urrah-urrah' grunting and croaking at breeding colonies on sea stacks. Also gives a softer 'karrr' in flight. Large colonies are extremely noisy during the breeding season.

About These Birds

Emu

에뮤는 두 번째로 키가 큰 현존 조류이자 호주 최대 조류이다. 날지 못하지만 시속 50km로 달릴 수 있으며 강한 다리로 포식자를 방어한다. 수컷이 알을 품고 새끼를 기른다.

Northern Gannet

The northern gannet is a spectacular plunge-diver, folding its two-meter wingspan into an arrow shape to hit the water at up to 100 km/h. Air sacs under the skin and a reinforced skull protect it from the impact. Bass Rock in Scotland hosts over 150,000 gannets, the largest single colony of any seabird in the world.
