In the process of eating the hornbill couple, you and I are nong.

Although the birds don't have such rich expressions, anyone can see that they are a loving couple when they see their huge beaks touching each other gently, their heads leaning towards each other, and their eyes blinking at each other!

The act of passing food around with their mouths is no different from the act of feeding each other to a human couple.

The keeper explained: "Hornbills are very loyal birds! They are monogamous for life and do not change partners. If one of them dies, the other will not find a new love, but will be depressed and die on a hunger strike. ”

The tourists were amazed!

I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful love between animals.

"Wow, so loyal. A pair of birds for a lifetime! ”

"Sometimes scolding people often scolds people and beasts, thinking that birds and beasts are a word that represents the lower limit, and feeling that birds and beasts are much better than us humans in many places! Not only physical fitness, but also character! ”

"Yes, this love of life and death can become a classic forever if it is exchanged for human beings, what Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall!"

The keeper said, "When you talk about birds that symbolize love, what do you think of? ”

Immediately a tourist said: "Mandarin duck! ”

This is a common misunderstanding! Everyone looks at the feathers of the mandarin ducks are gorgeous, the posture is beautiful, and they often appear in pairs, and they also comb each other's feathers, showing affection, right, it looks sweet and sweet.

The ancients liked to use the mandarin duck to symbolize love, and there are many poems and pictures, such as "Peacock Flying Southeast", it is written that the branches and branches are covered, the leaves and leaves are communicated, and there are two flying birds, which are called mandarin ducks. Now some customs have been handed down, when getting married, make a red and festive wedding quilt for the newlyweds, and embroider mandarin ducks on it.

In fact, the mandarin duck has nothing to do with loyal love at all, if one partner dies, the other party will continue to look for a new partner, and when the female mandarin duck is brooding, the male mandarin duck will not care, and a love ends here.

I don't care about it after giving birth, isn't it a bit like a scumbag? ”

There are many tourists who are shocked and shocked!

"Don't say it, the wedding quilt I got married was an embroidered mandarin duck!"

"One of the most commonly heard words about mandarin ducks is to beat mandarin ducks and forcibly break up other people's love, and it seems that they don't need to be beaten at all."

"I've heard of that! It is said that mandarin ducks not only have fancy feathers, but also have flowery hearts. ”

"Therefore, everyone will bless others in the future, don't say that I wish you love like a mandarin duck, love like a mandarin duck, so that people may beat you, you can say that I wish you to be as loyal as a hornbill or a swan! Swans are also monogamous for life. ”

The keeper made a joke and continued: "Actually, the bird that can best symbolize love is the hornbill, why do you say that?"

Hornbills have a very unique brooding behavior! When it's time to breed, hornbills find a hole in a tree and process it to serve as a nest.

The mother hornbill would then lock herself in a tree hollow and pile up the hole with leftover food scraps and droppings, while the father hornbill would bring in mud, mixed fruit and wood chips to close the hole, leaving only a small hole for the mother hornbill's mouth to stick out.

Then, the mother hornbill will incubate her eggs in the hole, so that she can not be afraid of wind and rain, and also protect the baby bird from natural predators such as snakes and birds of prey.

Let's think about it, the hornbill mother stays in the tree hole, completely closed for a few months, this is how much trust the hornbill father should have, in case the hornbill father dies outside, the mother bird will starve to death inside.

The hornbill father is also very hard, and the whole process of incubating eggs and brooding is that he is running outside to find food, and he has to fly outside to forage for food again and again. At first, the mother hornbill was fed, and later a few baby hornbills were fed.

After the entire brooding period has passed, the father bird will be exhausted and emaciated.

The mother hornbill will wait until the baby hornbill is full of feathers to break through the barrier, peck open the hole inside, and nurse the baby with the hornbill father. ”

"Wow!"

The tourists listened with wide eyes one by one, looking at the two hornbills that touched each other's beaks and looked at each other warmly, with two points of respect in their eyes!

It was a sigh before, but now it's a shock!

"It's amazing! And such a peculiar behavior! ”

"It's really life and death!"

"Hornbills are so loving! This is simply a model couple, with love and family! ”

"When I get married, I'm going to order a set of hornbill quilts and pillows! Hey, can you think about making a hornbill around your zoo? ”

The breeder scratched his head and said, "This, I will convey your opinion!" ”

Liu Xueqing was very touched when she heard it, and said to Yingying's father: "Eh, whether it is a human or an animal, it is really not easy to bring a baby!" ”

Of course, bringing a baby is not only hard, but also fun to watch children grow up.

smiled and touched Yingying's head: "Isn't it?" Sometimes be considerate of Mom and Dad. ”

Ying Ying blinked her eyes and pouted: "I'm very sensible!" ”

Both adults were amused: "Yes, sensible!" ”

Yingying is still very well-behaved when she is a baby, crying is relatively rare, some babies especially like to cry, and people can't sleep all night, praise two sentences Yingying also remembers, very proud.

At that moment, a pleasant whistle sounded.

Tourists couldn't help but look at the sky, only to see a colorful parrot cloud quickly rising in the distance, flying in the direction of the giant tree.

The aviary has several air shows in the morning and afternoon!

Originally, I thought that I would have to train for a while before I could perform the flight show, but on the one hand, the parrots purchased by other zoos have also been called for training, and a few macaws in the Linhai Zoo are still quite appealing, and they have saved a lot of run-in time under their leadership.

On the air corridor, as soon as Fang Ye beckoned, the parrots flew to his side, Jin Zhi and several parrots stood on his shoulders and head first, and the other parrots landed on the branches above their heads one after another!

The tree seemed to bear a bunch of colorful parrot fruits, and "quack" was called in a chaotic manner.

Mi Jin watched the macaw fall on Fang Ye's head and squeeze it on his shoulder, and interviewed: "Principal, can you parrots talk?" What will you say? ”

Fang Ye smiled: "Of course I will, and I will say a lot." Can you say hello to it? ”

Before Mi Jin could speak, Jin Martin had already spoken: "Hello, hello! ”

Mi Jin couldn't help laughing, this parrot would rush to answer, and said the same: "Hello! ”
