Águila cabeza blanca

El ave nacional de los Estados Unidos y símbolo del éxito conservacionista americano, el águila cabeza blanca tiene una envergadura de hasta 2,4 metros y habita bosques y humedales próximos a aguas abiertas en toda Norteamérica. Casi extinta en la década de 1960 por el envenenamiento con DDT y la caza, se recuperó de forma notable gracias a las prohibiciones de pesticidas y la Ley de Especies en Peligro.

Capuchino Castaño

El capuchino ventricastaño es un pequeño pinzón estríldido robusto con plumaje marrón rojizo intenso, cabeza negra y vientre blanco, que habita praderas, arrozales y bordes de bosques abiertos desde India y Sri Lanka hacia el este a través del Sudeste Asiático hasta Filipinas y Taiwán. Muy gregario, forma grandes bandadas y a veces se considera una plaga agrícola menor en los cultivos de arroz. Ampliamente mantenido como ave de aviario en toda Asia, son relativamente fáciles de criar y mantener en cautiverio.
