About These Birds
House Sparrow
家麻雀是全球分布最广的鸟类之一，与人类关系极为密切。雄鸟头顶灰色，喉部黑色，翅具栗色。广泛分布于城市、农村和郊区，以谷物、种子和昆虫为食。因人类扩张而随之传播至世界各地，但近年来在某些地区种群下降明显。
鹭鹰
The secretary bird is the only raptor that hunts primarily on foot, striding through grasslands on crane-like legs up to 1.2 meters tall. Its name may derive from the crest feathers resembling quill pens tucked behind a secretary's ear. The species is classified as Endangered due to habitat loss and decline across much of its range.
