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.
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.
