About These Birds
Eurasian Magpie
第一种在镜中认出自己的非哺乳动物。大胆的鸦科鸟类。筑造精致的有顶巢穴。
兀鹫
The griffon vulture is one of Europe's largest flying birds and a crucial scavenger in Mediterranean ecosystems. These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping. Vulture populations faced a crisis from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which proved fatal when consumed through contaminated carcasses.
