About These Birds
Eastern Bluebird
北美幸福的象征。通过安装巢箱使种群得以恢复。冬季形成松散群体。
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.
