🐦Goldcrest

Regulus regulus (Linnaeus, 1758)

For alternative betydninger, se Fuglekonge (flertydig). (Se også artikler, som begynder med Fuglekonge) Fuglekongen (Regulus regulus) er med en længde på blot cirka 9 centimeter Europas mindste fugl. Fuglekongen lever i det meste af den tempererede del af Europa og Asien. Den yngler i nåletræer, men færdes uden for yngletiden ofte i mindre flokke i træer og buske i såvel løv- som nåleskove, både højt til vejrs og tættere på jorden. I træktiden kan den også ses i haver og krat.
