Weißkopf-Seeadler

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Katharinasittich

One of the smallest New World parrots, barred parakeets inhabit humid montane forests of Central and South America from southern Mexico to western Ecuador at elevations of 1,200–3,000 meters. Their distinctive black-barred plumage on a green background provides excellent canopy camouflage. They form small flocks foraging on seeds and berries, often in bamboo stands. Quiet and unobtrusive for parrots, they remain little studied in the wild and are kept by some aviculturists.
