This is by far the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Put the sound on and watch to the end, I promise it's worth it.

And Emperor Geese!

My dad and I saw a sign for "Important bird area" and wondered what the Important Birds are. We thought of kingfishers, Emperor penguins, cardinals, as well as Eurasian eagle-owls and Scoops because in French we call them grand-duc and petit-duc (big and little duke).

Are there any Important Birds we may have missed?

All of the other ones, but those are some good picks.
