About These Birds

Common Ostrich

非洲鸵鸟(Struthio camelus)— 世界上最大的鸟,栖息于非洲草原。虽然不能飞翔,但奔跑速度可达每小时70公里,产下世界上最大的蛋。

Eurasian Wren

The Eurasian wren is one of the smallest birds in Europe but possesses an astonishingly loud song for its size. Males build multiple dome-shaped nests, from which the female selects one to line and use. In British folklore, the wren is known as the king of birds for outwitting the eagle in a flying contest.
