Chapter 638: The Oriental White Stork Plays Allegro

"It's usually very cold, but if you look at the right eye, the two will interact enthusiastically.

The Oriental White Stork chases the girl, there are two stunts, the first move is to hold the head high, the lower part of the front neck of the male bird has lanceolate long feathers, which will be erected during courtship, like a rich and handsome man in a suit and a tie.

The second trick is gentle temptation. During courtship, the Oriental White Stork will gently peck the mouth, face and neck of the female with its beak, face and neck, and courting the female in a gentle way, and if the female is impressed by it, she will tilt her head back and spread her wings half in response. ”

"Sounds so romantic!"

"Hahaha, it's really a domineering president, most of the time he's very cold, and he's only gentle to the heroine!"

Fang Ye said with a smile: "Of course, although the Oriental White Stork has this kind of romance setting, there is no bloody drama in their love.

Oriental storks are monogamous, they are very loyal to love, and once they are married, they will stay together for life until the death of their spouse. Even if the other half dies, he will not find a partner again.

Most birds are incubated by females and males in search of food, but the Oriental White Stork is co-incubated by male and female parent birds. Although females are the main birds, they rotate 2-4 times a day, and the incubation period is one month every day. Not to mention rearing chicks, they will go to great lengths to collect food to feed the chicks, and after the brooding period, both females and males will lose a lot of weight. ”

"Wow, what a fairy couple in the animal kingdom!"

"I remember the last time I visited the zoo, I saw a mandarin duck mother alone with a dozen chicks, it was really a scumbag, and I left after giving birth."

At this time, an Oriental White Stork suddenly lowered its head and cocked its tail!

The slender long legs are propped up underneath, and the body becomes a "T" shape.

"Dada......"

The upper and lower beaks tapped very quickly, and the sound sounded a little dull, like a woodpecker pecking at wood.

While tapping his beak, he moved his feet and spun his body, looking around with a blazing gaze.

Sometimes the head is raised, sometimes it falls.

"There are so many bamboo boards, let's not boast about anything else, let's boast about Tianjin gourmet dogs ignore buns!

This dog ignores the buns, what is he good about, the eighteen folds of the thin skin and big stuffing are like a flower! ”

Netizens looked at the appearance of the Oriental White Stork, and in a trance, they seemed to see a cross talk actor, standing on the stage, his head spinning around, "Bang Bang Bang" playing Allegro!

Suddenly, the Oriental White Stork raised its head sharply, threw its head back, and pressed the back of its head against its back, revealing a touch of red under its beak.

At the same time, one foot is bent and raised, leaving only one foot to support, and the sound is paused.

The more the head leaned back, and slowly leaned back to the end, the percussion sound sounded again, from slow to urgent.

The wings opened slightly, and the head jerked up again, returning to its original position.

"This is a description of buns, but you can't use them indiscriminately! Praise the girl for her beauty, like a flower, don't say that the girl looks like a bun! ”

It has returned to its previous elegant and arrogant posture.

Several tourists nearby were stunned and dumbfounded!

Seeing that the Oriental White Stork no longer moved, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly applauded!

Netizens are even more stupid!

"What is this doing?"

"I feel like I heard it play an allegro!"

"Hahaha, it's funny and a little bit of a head, what's going on!"

"This ...... Is it courtship? ”

Fang Ye said with a smile: "Playing allegro is also a very interesting behavior of the Oriental White Stork!"

This one is more similar to the owl knocking on its beak, both to warn the enemy.

When the Oriental White Stork discovers that there is an intruder in its territory, it will tap its beak up and down rapidly, making a rapid 'da-da-da' sound, and at the same time swing its head from side to side and tilt its head back.

It is not courtship, the breeding season of the Oriental White Stork is from March to June. ”

"I see, but this kind of behavior looks so funny, and the cold impression I established just now collapsed!"

"I feel that the cranes all look similar, and I recognize them when I knock on my beak, and there are also this kind of clattering cranes in the zoo at my house, which should be the Oriental White Stork."

Walking forward, I saw a small silver-white model of an electric tower erected in the exhibition area.

There is an Oriental White Stork standing at the top of a three-meter-high electric tower, proudly looking into the distance independently.

Netizens asked curiously: "Principal, what is this?" Why do you still build a tower? ”

It may seem a little obtrusive, but they know that the various designs in the zoo are very useful.

This is similar to going to Qinghai before and seeing birds of prey nesting on telephone poles!

After Fang Ye came back, he learned about the relevant content again, and put the design of the telephone pole in the Hexuan and Plateau exhibition areas.

In addition to the crisis of animals, the zoo will also introduce the efforts made to protect them.

Compared with the direct introduction of popular science exhibition boards, it is undoubtedly the form of such facilities in front of you, which can arouse the curiosity of tourists to take the initiative to understand and touch people's hearts.

Of course, the tower will not be much smaller than it was originally.

"Birds nesting on power towers has always been a problem!

In recent years, due to the loss of habitat and the gradual loss of natural vegetation, wild birds such as the Oriental White Stork, which is highly dependent on tall trees to build breeding nests, have to choose artificial structures such as power towers to build their nests.

Not only does it greatly increase the risk of casualties such as hitting power lines, but it also puts a lot of pressure on the power system.

Once the insulator is too seriously polluted by bird droppings, it is easy to trip the line discharge on rainy days, which will not only cause a wide range of residents and enterprises to lose power, but also cause fatal damage to the Oriental White Stork at the moment of tripping. ”

It's the first time netizens have heard of such a thing!

I never thought about the impact of the lights on animals.

I can't help but ask, "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" ”

Fang Ye said: "Therefore, after discussing with the staff of the power department, the stork protection experts finally decided to install insulating boards and artificial nests without leaving the power tower, which can not only reduce the risk of the parent bird abandoning the nest, but also avoid the corrosion of the insulator."

Specifically, do not disturb before the young bird breaks the shell, so that the parent bird can hatch with peace of mind, and wait until the young bird is out of the shell to put multiple insulating baffles under the nest, and the young bird can stand, and the relationship with the parent bird is more stable, and then the nest is connected with the young bird, and transferred to the artificial nest below.

The little Oriental White Stork, which has been protected, finally grows up and comes out of the nest in good health.

Not only the Oriental White Stork, but also for large migratory birds, this method is very meaningful. In the future, we may be able to see more places where artificial nests like this will appear. ”

"The facilities are really amazing!"

"Great!"

Fang Ye muttered: "Of course, the most important thing to protect animals is to protect their habitats. How to coexist harmoniously between humans and animals is also a question that we need to constantly think about in the future. ”
