The female peacock paced to the edge of the pond, looked left and right, and bowed her head to drink.

"Oh my God, it's beautiful! Like an elf! ”

"The neck is glowing!"

"What a fairy......"

"With such a short tail, it's a female peacock, right? Female peacocks are also so beautiful? ”

"It's so different from the blue peacock! The male of the blue peacock is quite beautiful, and the female is gray and inconspicuous at all. ”

"That's right, the green peacock is very good-looking!"

"Peacock Princess!"

"The scales on the neck, still glowing with gold, are so beautiful."

When netizens saw the green peacock for the first time, they were deeply shocked by its gorgeous appearance and noble temperament, and they did not hesitate to praise their words!

Fang Ye said: "Everyone has also seen the scales on the neck of the green peacock, this is the blue and green peacock, the main difference!"

The green peacock has feathers on its neck like dragon scales, and is called a dragon bird!

It usually looks green, but when the sun shines, it reflects a golden glow, and it looks gorgeous, so it is also called the golden peacock.

The male and female individuals of the green peacock, except for the length of the tail, still look very similar. The blue peacock is very different between male and female.

The hair on the neck of the male blue peacock is filamentous and blue in color. Although the neck of the female blue peacock is also scaly and glows with a little green light, it is not as beautiful as the scales of the green peacock, and the overall appearance is gray fluttering.

The crown feathers on the head, the blue peacock's crown feathers are in the shape of a feather fan, while the green peacock is a cluster. Another difference is their cheeks, where green peacocks have a bright yellow patch on their cheeks, while blue peacocks have white cheeks. ”

Netizens carefully wrote down that the green peacock is such a rare bird, and it is too embarrassing to be confused with the blue peacock.

However, just looking at the beautiful scales on the neck like dragon scales, it is basically not confusing.

"Principal, what about the white peacock?"

"The white peacock is actually an albino individual of the peacock! The green peafowl used to be widely distributed in the area south of the Yangtze River, and there were large numbers, and there were also albino individuals, which were also recorded in paintings.

However, the current white peacocks are all albino blue peacocks. ”

Fang Ye looked at the green peacock and said with pride: "The green peacock is a famous cultural symbol of my country!"

The feathers are gorgeous, and it is very popular with ancient literati and scholars, dignitaries and nobles, and it is also one of the prototypes of the phoenix.

Many poems describe the green peacock, 'the green horn is tall and towering, and the Jinhua Huan is different', 'a golden emerald can't be painted, and the mountains and rivers are scarce', 'The peacock pities itself for the golden emerald tail, near the water, and the pedestrians can't be surprised'.

The murals on the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the peacock pattern on the robes of the Qing Dynasty, and the sculpture of the peacock on the Old Buddha Temple are all green peacocks. ”

Then he sighed again, a little sad: "But in the cultural field, the green peacock has been quietly replaced by the blue peacock."

Now the streets of Yunnan are full of blue peacocks, portals, peacock statues in the square, and blue peacocks are also used as image representatives.

Even the Dai people who use peacocks as totems, except for some elderly people, only know the foreign blue peacocks, but not the native green peacocks.

At the beginning, in our Chinese textbooks, the illustrations of the text "Peacock Flying Southeast" were all accompanied by the image of a blue peacock.

In the famous peacock dance, there is an index finger and thumb pinched, and several other fingers are split apart, imitating the image of a peacock's head, and the fan-shaped crown feathers are also the most obvious feature of the blue peacock. ”

When netizens heard this, they couldn't help but feel a burst of pain and were silent.

No one knows about the native green peafowl and almost goes extinct quietly, but the alien blue peacock is proud of everyone.

I can only sigh slowly: "Eh~"

As he spoke.

"Ah~oh-ah~oh-"

A strange roar sounded, the sound was pleasant and loud, and it seemed to be able to reach directly into people's hearts!

Although netizens heard it for the first time, they immediately had a guess in their hearts: "Could it be the cry of the green peacock?" ”

Fang Ye said: "That's right! ”

It's not the same as the blue peacock's voice!

The blue peacock's call is a bit like a goose's call, with a hoarse voice, while the green peacock's call is more melodious and lingering.

A male green peacock with a long tail walked towards the female peacock by the pond while singing loudly.

As I walked over, I tidied up my posture a little.

Fang Ye suddenly got up: "It seems that this male peacock is not willing to be lonely and is ready to court!" Maybe you'll see it open later. ”

After thinking about it, I turned on my phone and put on a song.

The deep and continuous sound of the flute is like the melodious chirping of a peacock, pulling people back to a long time ago.

The elegant guzheng prelude, affectionate, and revealing a touch of sadness.

Fang Ye's voice also lightened a lot: "This song, called "Peacock Speech", is specially composed for green peacocks!" ”

During the Green Peacock Public Interest Litigation case, in addition to investigating and collecting evidence, several public welfare organizations also made a song with some musicians to call on everyone to pay attention to the endangered Green Peacock.

"I want to pace the forest bank, and the forest bank is sparse and the flowers and leaves are left.

I want to Yingying Huan spring shirt, spring shirt March river cold ......"

The moving female voice sounded, the voice was calm and soft, but the lyrics seemed quite sad and sad.

The male green peacock walks slowly towards the female peacock.

"I want to look forward to the rivers and mountains, but the rivers and mountains have become difficult to gain a foothold.

I want to know you well, and the evil will eventually become a fateful word......"

Listening to beautiful songs and looking at the beautiful green peacock, netizens have such a scene in their minds.

A male peacock drinks water on the river beach, pacing, sometimes singing, telling about his loneliness!

During courtship season, female peacocks and sub-adult peacocks form family groups and begin to wander around, visiting different male peacock domains.

Every morning and evening, you can hear the loud chirping of male peacocks near the river valley!

When a male peacock finds that a female peacock is coming to his field, he will post it to open the screen for courtship and show off his long tail screen.

The green peacocks, near the mountain stream and river beach, drink water to feed or rest, sometimes a group of peacocks meet on the edge of a river beach, take a sand bath together, after feeding, they say goodbye to each other.

But I don't know why, the river beaches that I rely on for survival are slowly being submerged, and it is becoming more and more difficult to meet my companions, and I can't even hear the chirping of my companions.

All that was left was his lonely and high-pitched chirp, echoing in the woods year after year, without response.

I want to rejoice in the rivers and mountains, but the rivers and mountains have been difficult to gain a foothold.

The lyrics of this song are written about a woman who loves a man deeply, but she is in a predicament and has to say goodbye to her last confession before leaving.

Just now Fang Ye talked about the endangered status of the green peacock, and netizens listened to the melancholy lyrics, and couldn't help but think that this was also the last farewell of the green peacock to mankind, and their chests were suffocated, and they felt out of breath.

My eyes gradually blurred, and for some reason, I felt the urge to cry!
