Following our features on animals in landscapes, including land and water animals, this time weโre introducing landscapes featuring birds from around the world.
Watching birds gracefully soar through the sky or stand elegantly can bring a sense of calm and relaxation, donโt you think? With Atmoph Window, you can discover birds from around the globeโsome are the focus of the scene, while others may just happen to be captured during filming. From swans on lakes to colorful peacocks and ducks leisurely passing by, youโre sure to find your favorite!
Parrots
These are the birds from Parque das Aves, located near the entrance of Iguazu National Park in Brazil. The birds you see in the scene are likely โBlue-fronted Amazons.โ At first glance, they may blend into the green background and not be very noticeable, but if you look closely, youโll see a number of parrots scattered about.
Parrots are often kept as pets, and youโve probably seen them mimic human speech. The Blue-fronted Amazon is highly intelligent and has a strong ability to imitate words.
Parque das Aves is home to many birds, and you can encounter various colorful birds typical of subtropical regions.
HELLO WHY NOT VISIT BRAZIL?
Swan
Mount Fuji and swansโit feels like a quintessential Japanese landscape, doesnโt it? Swans are known for their pure white feathers, but their young are born with grey or brown feathers, which gradually turn white as they grow.
As this scene was filmed in November, itโs worth noting that swans are migratory birds that travel from Siberia to Japan during the winter, especially in northern Honshu and Hokkaido.
Speaking of swans and lakes, do you think of swan boats? Theyโre surprisingly fun to ride! In fact, swan boats were first developed in 1974 by a boat manufacturer in Gunma Prefecture, and they still hold over 90% of the market share in Japan today.
Peacock
The peacock is known for its stunningly large tail feathers, particularly when fanned out. Only the males have these vibrant feathers, while the females have a more subdued appearance. (In the scene, the male is likely on the right, and the female on the left.)
Peacocks are admired for their beauty and mystical presence and hold religious significance. In Buddhism, the peacock is revered as a symbol of protection, and in Hinduism, it is considered the mount of the god Skanda. The peacock is also designated as Indiaโs national bird.
Interestingly, on some islands in Okinawa, you can spot wild peacocks wandering around golf courses.
Chicken
The chicken, a bird familiar to many, is bred as poultry worldwide. Its domestication dates back nearly 8,000 years to China before spreading across the globe.
One distinctive feature of roosters is their crowing, often used as an alarm clock sound. Chickens are diurnal animals, and roosters crow in the morning to mark their territory or encourage other chickens to start their day.
For those who struggle to wake up early, why not try keeping a rooster?
Birds Flying Over a Skatepark
These birds fly above a public skatepark at Venice Beach, California. The combination of sunset, skaters, and birds soaring overhead creates a very liberating atmosphere.
Skateboarding became an official Olympic sport in the 2020 Tokyo Games, gaining a lot of attention.
Recently, a skatepark opened near my house. Sometimes when I walk by, Iโm amazed to see even toddlers, maybe around three years old, gliding effortlessly. Maybe I should give it a try too.
Andean Gull at the Uyuni Salt Flats
The Uyuni Salt Flats is a dream destination for many. Located in Bolivia at an altitude of 3,700 meters, the salt flats turn into a giant mirror reflecting the sky during the rainy season.
This landscape, with the vast skies, mirror-like surface, and gulls, feels like something out of a dream.
Gull Walking on the Beach
A gull strolling along a beach in New Caledonia, with its emerald-green waters. This natural pool is nestled in a bay, with seawater flowing in between the rocks. Geographically, New Caledonia is located east of Australia, but it is part of Franceโs overseas territories.
Ah, if only I could step into the world of Atmoph Window right now.
Ducks in Maui, Hawaii
This scene features ducks on a lake at the resort town of Kihei on Maui Island, Hawaii. The sunset, the gentle ripples on the lake, and the drifting ducks provide a soothing experience.
Ah, I wish I could trade places with the ducks right now.
Birds can be both graceful and adorable. Watching them through Atmoph Window, you might find yourself wondering, โWhat does it feel like to fly?โ I hope that through Atmoph Window, your heart can feel as light as a bird soaring in the sky.
Look forward to our next special feature (maybe?)
