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.
Timorzebraamadine
One of the most popular cage birds worldwide, zebra finches are small, seed-eating songbirds native to arid and semi-arid grasslands across mainland Australia and the Lesser Sunda Islands. Males display distinctive orange cheek patches, red beaks, and barred flanks. Highly social, living in flocks that may number thousands in the wild, zebra finches are fundamental model organisms in neuroscience research on vocal learning, song development, and the neural basis of learning and memory.
