Own every animal of the family Acrocephalidae.
Reed warblers and their relatives are small insect-eating songbirds of the Old World. They haunt reedbeds and damp thickets. Their plain brownish plumage makes them hard to tell apart. Their song is often the best clue to who is who. Many migrate south for the winter.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Acrocephalidae
Acrocephalus agricola · Least concern
The paddyfield warbler's species name, agricola, is Latin for "farmer". Its genus name, Acrocephalus, comes from the Greek for "highest head"; its authors perhaps thought akros meant "sharp-pointed". Rare in western Europe, it breeds in small numbers on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria and Romania.

Acrocephalidae
Acrocephalus schoenobaenus · Least concern
Male sedge warblers start singing only a few hours after reaching their breeding territory, and those with the widest repertoire, mimicry included, mate with the most females. The bird crosses the Sahara to winter in Africa; the oldest known, ringed in Finland, lived 10 years and 1 month.

Acrocephalidae
Acrocephalus dumetorum · Least concern
It now breeds in Scotland. Blyth's reed warbler, long a rare vagrant to western Europe, has been spreading west from its breeding range between the Baltic and Lake Baikal: it was found breeding in the Netherlands in 2022 and in Scotland in 2024. It is named after Edward Blyth, who described it in 1849.
