About These Birds

Hoopoe

오디새(후투티)는 얼룩말 무늬 날개와 분홍계피색 깃털, 검은 끝 화려한 볏을 지닌 구대륙에서 가장 독특한 새 중 하나다. 유럽·아프리카·아시아에 넓게 분포한다.

Oriental Stork

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.
