Un recorrido por las aves más asombrosas del mundo.

Ademas, la cultura y la tradicion humanas se mantienen vivas en las aves: algunas especies son simbolos nacionales; otras han inspirado obras musicales y literarias, han dado lugar a descubrimientos cientificos o han impulsado proyectos de conservacion. Muchas han servido de sustento y han sido cazadas por su carne, sus huevos o sus plumas; o incluso han sido domesticadas y habitan entre los humanos, como la humilde gallina.
