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。
Southern Cassowary
The southern cassowary is often called the most dangerous bird in the world due to its powerful legs and dagger-like inner claw that can reach 12 cm in length. Despite this reputation, cassowaries are vital rainforest keystone species, dispersing seeds of plants that no other animal can. The purpose of their distinctive casque remains debated.
