rabapüü
Usage examples
  • Rabapüü (Lagopus lagopus) on I kaitsekategooria liik ja tegemist on Eesti ohustatud liikide punase nimestiku kriitilises seisundis liigiga. Rabapüü elutseb segametsade vööndist kuni mägitundra pajustikeni. Eestis on ta võrdlemisi haruldane haudelind, kes pesitseb peamiselt Kirde- ja Kesk-Eesti suurtes rabades. Rabapüü toitub putukatest, marjadest, võsudest ja lehepungadest. Pojad sõltuvad putuktoidust, mistõttu varasuvised pikaajalised vihmasajud ja jahedus on liigile hukutavad (Jonsson 2000).
