Song & Call Comparison

European Robin

노래

Exquisite, melancholic melody of thin whistled phrases, rising and falling softly. Rich, warbling song year-round; both sexes sing. Alarm call is a sharp 'tic-tic-tic'.

Oriental Stork

노래

Essentially silent like all storks; produces loud mechanical bill-clattering at the nest as a greeting display. Chicks beg with hissing and squeaking. Rarely vocalizes otherwise.

About These Birds

European Robin

유럽울새는 영국에서 가장 사랑받는 새 중 하나로 국민 새로 선정되었다. 주황-붉은 가슴으로 유명하며 정원사 곁을 잘 따르는 것으로 알려져 있다. 영역 방어가 강해 동성 간 싸움도 치열하다.

Oriental Stork

The oriental stork is one of the most endangered stork species, with fewer than 3,000 individuals remaining in the wild. It was once widespread across East Asia but declined dramatically due to wetland drainage and pesticide use. Reintroduction programs in Japan and Korea have achieved notable success.
