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.
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.
