The Alpine chough is a clever high-mountain bird related to crows, with a bright yellow beak. It makes its home across the rocky peaks of southern Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia. This bird holds the record for nesting at higher elevations than any other bird species.

• Nests at higher altitudes than any other bird.
• Eggs are specially adapted to thin mountain air for better oxygen absorption.
• Lives in mountainous regions from Spain all the way to Nepal.
