About These Birds
águia-real
The golden eagle is one of the most powerful and agile raptors in the Northern Hemisphere. Revered by many cultures, it has been used in falconry for centuries, particularly by Kazakh eagle hunters of Central Asia. Golden eagles can dive at speeds exceeding 240 km/h when pursuing prey.
Abutre-barbudo
O quebra-ossos é um grande abutre das cadeias montanhosas da Europa, Ásia e África. Reconhecível pelos tufos de penas negras sob o bico que formam uma 'barba'. Especializado em comer ossos, transporta-os a grande altitude e soltam-nos sobre rochas para os partir e aceder à medula. A plumagem adulta é esbranquiçada alaranjada nas partes inferiores e cinzento escuro nas superiores. Nidifica em cornisas de penhascos. As ações de conservação têm ajudado a recuperar populações na Europa.
