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.

Southern Cassowary

The southern cassowary is often called the most dangerous bird in the world due to its powerful legs and dagger-like inner claw that can reach 12 cm in length. Despite this reputation, cassowaries are vital rainforest keystone species, dispersing seeds of plants that no other animal can. The purpose of their distinctive casque remains debated.
