Chapter 655: The Golden Flying
Liu Wei pondered for a long time, and finally figured out why it felt familiar: "This is similar to Trump's hairstyle!" ”
The golden silky crown feathers look like a delicate silk horse, very silky, exuding a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.
The red-bellied pheasant took a few delicate steps forward, its long fluttering tail peeking out from behind the stones.
The tail feathers are brown and yellow, and the texture is mottled.
When walking, the tail feathers flutter up and down rhythmically with the pace, looking like the majestic and handsome general in Peking Opera, striding on the stage, the flag behind him brings a gust of wind, rustling, floating but not chaotic.
In fact, the flower feathers on the crown of the military generals in Peking Opera are made of the tail feathers of the golden pheasant, such as Zhou Yu, Lu Bu and Sun Wukong in the past, and the feathers of the white-crowned long-tailed pheasant are used for decoration.
This red-bellied pheasant is not very afraid of tourists, and even if it finds tourists watching it, it is still calmly doing its own thing.
Jumped off the stone and pecked with his head down on the gray-black sandy earth.
With each peck, the fan-shaped orange feather shawl on the back of the head was flicked one after another, revealing the blue-green scales underneath, coupled with the golden crown and red chest, which were gorgeous and charming.
Pull twice on the sand with your paws, turn around, and turn your ass at them.
The blue feathers on the wings look black under the shade of the trees, but they shimmer with a metallic color under the refraction of the sun, and they are as deep and deep as the sea.
Suddenly raised his head and looked left and right for a moment.
Then with a slight kick of the foot, the feathers fluttered, the wings flapped, and it flew up.
When flying, the tail feathers, which are longer than the body, fall under the body, and open like the tail of a kite, undulating and waving like waves, rolling up several arcs.
Under the bright golden sunlight of the early morning, the feathers are bright and bright, like a colorful and gorgeous flame flying!
The tourists all exclaimed!
Amamiya couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Wow, Si Guoyi!" ”
I quickly took out my camera and took two photos!
Liu Wei watched the red-bellied golden pheasant fly to the trunk of the tree, stopped to rest, and sighed: "It's so beautiful!" ”
It's really hard to believe that such a beautiful bird is an animal that exists in reality.
He felt that in terms of gorgeousness, only the green peacock could be compared.
In fact, the colorful macaw is also very beautiful!
However, this kind of brocade chicken may be more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, with a beautiful and elegant posture, just like a moving Chinese painting.
Look at the popular science display board introduced next to it.
Red-bellied pheasant, also known as golden pheasant, is a rare bird unique to our country, belongs to the national second-class protected animals, the core area is in Gansu and southern Shaanxi Qinling region, in the Yangtze River basin is also widely distributed, "Baoji" is named because of the abundance of red-bellied pheasant.
It is the beautiful feathers that make it suffer a large number of hunting, people make it into specimens and sell them as ornaments or pluck the feathers to make handicrafts, in the 60s of the 20th century, the livestock department purchased 6000-8000 pieces of red-bellied caragana skin, and the population has declined sharply.
Although artificial breeding is now more mature and is a common ornamental bird that can be seen in all zoos, the population in the wild still needs to be protected.
An interesting science display with the title reads: "Do you know the meaning of a well-dressed beast? ”
"Well-dressed beasts mean that people wear clothes and look very good, but in fact, they are morally corrupt and do the same things as beasts."
Liu Wei thought so in his heart and looked down.
In fact, the idiom of "well-dressed beasts" comes from the costumes of officials in the Ming Dynasty!
At that time, in order to echo the emperor's dragon robe, the officials' clothes were decorated with birds and beasts, and the civil officials had developed minds and keen thinking, so they wore bird suits, and the generals were heroic and powerful, so they wore beast suits.
Different levels of officials embroidered different patterns.
The civil officials embroidered the red-crowned crane in the first grade, the red-bellied golden pheasant in the second grade, and the green peacock in the third grade, which shows the high status of the red-bellied golden pheasant.
And the first and second grades of the generals are all lions, and the third rank is embroidered with tigers.
Therefore, "well-dressed beasts" was actually a praised word in the earliest days, and the animals on official uniforms can show their identity and be enviable. Later, it gradually became what it means today.
"I see! I was in a long posture. ”
There is also a sign next to it to introduce the relationship between the red-bellied golden pheasant and the national bird.
Red-crowned cranes, red-bellied pheasants, green peacocks, crested ibises, and several other birds have been strong candidates for national birds!
The first time I voted for the national bird, most people voted for the red-crowned crane.
However, when it was about to be reported to the State Council, some experts pointed out that the red-crowned crane had a scientific name called "Japanese crane", which was inappropriate.
Although the red-crowned crane originated in China, the earliest zoologists named the red-crowned crane as a specimen provided by Japan, and it is a pity that the Qing government was still closed off from the country and was taken advantage of.
The call for the red-bellied golden pheasant is also very high, because it is the prototype of the mythical phoenix, and the map of China looks like a big rooster, which itself has also appeared as China's national bird in the National Games, expressing the enthusiasm and blessings of the Chinese people.
At the end of the sign, he asked, "If you had to choose the national bird, which one would you choose?" ”
Liu Wei was entangled for a while, it seems that any of them are good? It's embarrassing.
After the red-bellied pheasant flew to the tree, it twisted its neck and began to comb its feathers!
When the feathers are brushed, the shawl spreads and shakes, and the golden silky crown feathers rise from the state of admiring.
Standing on the branches, there is a feeling of loneliness.
This red-bellied pheasant adapts quickly to the new environment, and is generous and ready for everyone to watch!
However, most of them are more vigilant and shy, not very active, hiding under branches or hiding behind rocks.
In the corner, a red-bellied golden pheasant female, with yellow-brown feathers and plain appearance, squatted next to a clump of bamboos and shrunk her neck, with her back to tourists, a picture of self-containment.
The body is round and chubby, and occasionally looks back and peeps, which looks very funny.
Seeing this, Amamiya couldn't help but laugh, and his heart was looking forward to the next trip to the zoo.
The setting is really well set up and shows the charm of the animals to the fullest.
The two watched for a while, and continued to walk along the bamboo forest path in the Jinji Forest.
Turning a corner, I saw a white-bellied golden pheasant, standing on a tree trunk perch, its long black and white slender tail feathers hanging down.
The white-bellied golden pheasant is a little bigger than the red-bellied golden pheasant!
The shawl-shaped shoulder feathers, belly and long tail feathers are mainly white in color, and the edges of the feathers have conspicuous black lines, like a black and white fan, and like auspicious clouds.
The wings are blue, and the chest and back are green feathers with a metallic sheen.
Compared with the brightly colored, looking at the red-bellied golden pheasant with a kind of glorious and wealthy temperament, the white-bellied golden pheasant looks graceful and feminine.
