About These Birds
House Sparrow
집참새는 아마도 세계에서 인간과 함께 가장 성공적인 새일 것이다. 처음에는 중동에서 기원했지만 인간의 교역로와 정착지를 따라 전 세계로 퍼졌다. 씨앗, 곤충, 음식물 쓰레기를 먹는 기회주의적 잡식성이다.
Peregrine Falcon
매는 세계에서 가장 빠른 동물로, 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km 이상의 속도를 낼 수 있습니다. 남극 대륙을 제외한 전 세계에 분포하며 도시 고층 건물에서도 번식합니다. DDT 사용으로 20세기 중반 크게 줄었다가 현재 회복되었습니다.
