About These Birds
雞尾鸚鵡
玄凤鹦鹉是凤头鹦鹉科中体型最小的成员，也是全球最受欢迎的宠物鸟之一。这些温顺的澳大利亚鸟类体长约30厘米，以其独特的橙色面颊斑、黄色头冠和灰色身体为特征，雄鸟颜色更为鲜明。原产于澳大利亚内陆干旱地带，以种子和浆果为食。
Snowy Owl
The snowy owl is the heaviest North American owl and one of the most charismatic Arctic birds. Unlike most owls, it is largely diurnal, necessitated by the continuous daylight of Arctic summers. Snowy owl irruptions — periodic mass southward movements — are tied to lemming population cycles.
