Chapter 603: Bird Recognition Expert Shen Chuxia
After the black-naped king flycatcher flew away, soon after, Yan Yuyan and the others saw a very beautiful bird in the tree.
This bird is an endangered species, very rare, Shen Chuxia, who knows more about bird species, was the first to say the name of this bird: "Phoenix-tailed green biting cuckoo?" ”
The phoenix-tailed green cuckoo is a bird of the family of cuckoos, a small climbing bird, is the most beautiful bird in the jungles of South America, with an extremely gorgeous appearance, the male green cuckoo has a smooth long tail feathers, like a phoenix-like tail feathers.
The phoenix-tailed green cuckoo is the largest of the cuckoos, with a body length of about 38-41 cm, plus tail feathers up to 70 cm, and a weight of 180-210 grams. Its toes are different from those of other birds, with 1 and 2 toes facing backwards and 3 and 4 toes forward.
The crested green cuckoo has an extremely ornate appearance, with green feathers, a narrow half-moon white ring on its red chest, and bright patina and red feathers that range from metallic green to bluish-purple when viewed from different angles, often with bright feathers with a metallic sheen.
Males have a helmet-like crest, and males have yellow beaks and females have black beaks. The male has a long, smooth tail feathers like a phoenix, and the newborn chicks retain a pair of primitive claws in their wings, which disappear when they reach adulthood, which is similar to that of the musk pheasant, indicating that it is also a primitive bird.
Also known as the "Aztec bird", the anchovy green cuckoo is a beautiful bird that lives in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. In ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures, the crested green cuckoo was considered an incarnation of the god Quetzal, enjoying a sacred status.
It is said that the phoenix tail green biting cuckoo has never been fed for a long time. As a result, the crested green cuckoo always dies within a certain period of time after being caught. For this reason. The phoenix is seen as a symbol of freedom.
It was also for this reason that Shen Chuxia saw the phoenix-tailed green biting cuckoo in this bird garden, and they were very surprised, and they couldn't understand what Su Zhe could do to let the phoenix-tailed green biting cuckoo settle here.
After seeing the phoenix-tailed green biting juan, Su Zhe and the others continued to walk forward under the leadership of Li Hua.
After walking a distance, two more birds flew towards them, and finally stopped on Su Zhe's body.
The bird's head is golden-green. It is covered with a very showy feathers, and this bird also has a pair of very long tail feathers, which is even more dazzling and eye-catching.
"It's a bird of paradise." This time, Su Zhe took the lead in explaining to everyone.
The bird of paradise is originally known as the bird of paradise, because people are infected by its beautiful feathers and think that it is a bird from paradise, so it is named the bird of paradise.
The bird of paradise, known as the Elysium family, is also known as the order of birds. Also known as the bird of bliss, the sunbird, the wind bird, and the fog bird. Birds of paradise and crows are distant "relatives".
According to statistics, there are more than 40 species of birds of paradise in the world...... Among them, the most outstanding are the Blue Bird of Paradise, the Footless Bird of Paradise and the King Bird of Paradise.
The Blue Bird of Paradise has a very beautiful body, and its central tail feathers are extended like golden silk threads. During the reproductive season, the male bird may tilt his head and arch his back, erecting two fluffy and separated golden yellow ornamental feathers; Or climb a tree branch with your feet. The whole body hangs upside down, shaking off the brocade-like feathers, and the mouth keeps singing sweet words of love and mountain alliances and sea vows, in order to attract the female birds on the opposite side to look over.
The footless bird of paradise does not really have no feet, but its feet are shorter, and when it flies, it hides in its long feathers, and people can't see it. It is delicate and small, elegant and pretty, and the tail of the footless bird of paradise is two or three times longer than its body, also known as the long-tailed bird of paradise.
The king bird of paradise is not large, only about 20 centimeters long, which is much smaller than other birds of paradise.
But the king bird of paradise is peculiar, one of them, the king bird of paradise is loyal to love, whether men or women, once in love, they will accompany each other for life, and they will not fight, nor noisy, so they will always care about each other, love each other, and one day lose their partner, the other king bird of paradise will never remarry or marry, but go on a hunger strike to die.
Second, the king bird of paradise is lonely by nature and does not want to live with other populations, and when other birds of paradise migrate, it also flies high into the sky and acts as a guide for the migration team.
And staying on Su Zhe's body, it is the two king birds of paradise, when Su Zhe came out with huàn, he exchanged two at one time, so the two king birds of paradise were born as a pair after they were born.
No matter where they go or what they do, these two king birds of paradise are inseparable and will never be separated.
Listening to Su Zhe's narration, Yan Yuyan and the others were all amazed, but they didn't expect that since this legend was true, they would see it with their own eyes here.
But it's a pity that these two king birds of paradise only stayed on Su Zhe's body for a while, and then flew away, I don't know where they flew to, and they can't see them anymore.
Especially Yan Yuyan and the other ladies were deeply fascinated by the bird of paradise, and it took a long time for them to come back to their senses.
Then, Yan Yuyan and the others saw in the bird park that there were not birds, but many species of parrots.
Here, they saw cockatoos, pygmy spp., rose parrots, ring-necked parrots, African parrots, iridescent parrots, Amazon parrots, and mixed macaws.
Among them, macaws have the most types, such as multicolored macaws, purple and blue macaws, blue macaws, gold-collared macaws and so on.
What surprised Su Zhe the most was that Shen Chuxia seemed to know something about every kind of bird, and Shen Chuxia could name every bird in the aviary, and he could also introduce it in detail, even more familiar than Su Zhe, who was a huàn.
There are so many varieties of parrots in this, and the most daring ones are two multicolored macaws.
As soon as the two multicolored macaws saw Su Zhe and them, they immediately flew over, and in addition to not being afraid of Su Zhe, other people, they would not resist approaching.
And these two multicolored macaws are professionally trained, so they can also understand some simple instructions, such as letting the two multicolored macaws nod, where to fly, or letting them stretch out any paw can do it, very obedient, so that Shen Chuxia and they all find it very interesting and have a lot of fun.
It is rare to encounter two birds that are not afraid of people, and they naturally want to have enough, so Su Zhe and they spent the most time in this aviary. (To be continued......)
