🐦Common Moorhen
Das Teichhuhn (Gallinula chloropus), auch Teichralle genannt, ist eine Vogelart aus der Gattung der Teichhühner (oder Teichrallen, Gallinula) in der Familie der Rallen (Rallidae). Sie kommt mit mindestens 16 Unterarten in den gemäßigten, subtropischen und tropischen Klimazonen Eurasiens sowie Afrikas vor. Die europäische Brutpopulation wird auf mindestens 900.000 Paare geschätzt. In den meisten Staaten Europas sind die Bestände stabil. In Deutschland wurden Bestandsrückgänge und Arealeinbußen festgestellt, so dass das Teichhuhn hier zurzeit (seit 2006) in der Vorwarnstufe der Roten Liste gefährdeter Arten geführt wird.
