About These Birds

Hoopoe

戴胜是欧亚非三洲广泛分布的独特鸟类,具有橙棕色扇形冠羽和黑白相间的翅膀。喙长而弯曲,腹部具纵纹。栖息于开阔林地、耕地和果园,以地面上的昆虫和蠕虫为食。以其响亮特异的'扑扑扑'叫声而闻名,是以色列的国鸟。

Northern Fulmar

The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
