Chapter 674: A Bird in a Rice Field

The two cubs bouncing happily along the sun-drenched trail along the way!

Hongdou also hurriedly followed, doing her mother's duty of care.

Otherwise, when the little ones have fun and run away, they will remember to find their mother, and they will cry again and again when they look left and right to find that their mother has disappeared.

Fang Ye smiled and watched the little ones play for a while, then stood up, said hello to the chestnut, and left the Red Panda Pavilion.

"Let's go, let's go to the local exhibition area again!"

Netizens are still unsatisfied: "Eh, the cubs of the red panda are so cute!" ”

"It's one of the few animals that can grow from cute to old! Therefore, the red panda is a treasure from heaven. ”

"When will the giant panda give birth to a baby, I want to see the giant panda cubs eat pots of milk!"

Fang Ye glanced at the barrage and said with a smile: "We just gave Yunduo and Zhuang Zhuang their birthdays during the summer vacation, and they will be five years old after their birthdays, and they will also reach the age when they can mate, and we will try to let them meet next spring to see if they can spark love." If you're lucky, you'll have cubs to watch. ”

"Wow, look forward to it!"

"I've heard that giant pandas don't mate after they are 7 years old?"

"Anyway, why don't you let them meet? Shouldn't it be about cultivating feelings early? ”

Fang Ye explained: "Giant pandas in captivity mature a little earlier than in the wild!

As for why they are not allowed to meet, first of all, giant pandas begin to live alone when they become adults, and if they stay together outside of estrus, they will fight.

And as the saying goes, being a soldier for three years, the sow races the sable cicada, and this is the same for the giant panda!

You can usually see it, but it is not attractive at the critical moment, and if you haven't seen it for a long time, you will suddenly burst into fierce enthusiasm.

Of course, the peak mating season for giant pandas is only a few days, so it's not like putting them together without any preparations. In the early stage of their estrus, the giant panda should be changed to a cage, and the giant panda should sniff the poop of the opposite sex and familiarize himself with the body odor first.

The male giant panda will also play the female estrus cry to draw out the fire in his heart, and then let him watch the panda mating film to understand what he is going to do, and then put it together for them. ”

"Hahahaha, is it so fun?"

"Giant pandas still want to watch movies?"

"I've never heard of such an interesting thing!"

Fang Ye said: "This is an idea of mine to show a panda, and it hasn't really been practiced yet!" Because giant pandas are easy to breed in the wild, it is more difficult to breed in captivity, and I wonder if it needs some learning. ”

"The principal has a lot of ideas!"

chatted with netizens all the way and came to the local exhibition area.

At the entrance of the local exhibition area, a field of emerald green rice grows vigorously, showing a brilliant pale yellow under the sunlight, like jasper, looking vibrant.

The stream flows quietly along the stone canal, sparkling like broken gold.

A small squirrel climbed down from a tree and burrowed into the dense bushes.

A dozen grayish-brown ducks swim leisurely among the verdant rice paddies, sometimes congregating and sometimes scattering.

When a breeze blows, the leaves of the rice gently shake and the melodious birdsong comes out of the rice fields, which makes people feel relaxed unconsciously.

Netizens looked at the scenery in front of them and exclaimed: "Wow, there is still farming in this zoo!" ”

"In order to create a local exhibition area, I also specialize in planting fields, which is hard core."

"Rice was planted in the first half of the year! Specially for children to experience farming, I suspect that the director of the kindergarten has created a local exhibition area for this field. ”

"It's beautiful! Perfect for the countryside I imagined, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, would love to stay here! ”

Fang Ye walked past the rice field, looking at this beautiful scenery, his footsteps suddenly paused, revealing a look of surprise.

"Huh?"

He hooked his hand at the blue carp and motioned for her to turn the camera away.

"What did you find, Director?"

"Didn't you see anything?"

Netizens were confused.

A gust of wind blew, and the rice leaves swayed, revealing a bent rice with a small bird standing on it.

The head and back are yellowish-brown, similar to a sparrow, but the chest is yellow.

The melodious singing comes from it.

Fang Ye said: "Do you see that bird?" There is no acquaintance. ”

"I don't know!"

"It looks like a sparrow!"

"I recognize, it's a sparrow!"

Fang Ye said: "This is the yellow-breasted bunting, a very famous bird!" It is called 'Hehua Finch' in Guangdong, 'Yellow Gall' in the capital, and various other names.

Although not related to the sparrow, it was once the most widespread and most abundant bird in Eurasia, with an estimated number of millions or more at its peak.

From Finland, the Russian Far East and even Japan, they are all there, and every year in autumn, they will follow the cold air from the north to the south for wintering, through a China, to the wintering grounds of several provinces and regions in the south. ”

Some netizens keenly noticed Fang Ye's words: "Ever? ”

"That's right, in just a few decades, the yellow-breasted bunting population has dropped by 95 percent, jumping five levels in a row on the Red List of Endangered Species, from Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered to Critically Endangered. Now they are a first-class protected animal. ”

"Surprised, why is it falling so fast?"

Fang Ye sighed: "In the past, Hehua Bird was a very popular delicacy in some areas of Guangdong, and it was even directly introduced in the bird watching reference book, which shows how deeply rooted this impression is.

In the nineties of the last century, from street stalls to restaurant dishes, you can find the ingredient of Hehuafinch, and even the "Sanshui Food Festival" uses Hehuafinch as a selling point, and the hundreds of thousands of Hehuafinch are killed, attracting many tourists.

With the large-scale killing, the number of grass finches has decreased sharply, and the price has become more and more expensive, not only food, but also a deformed status symbol.

Although the state has already completely banned the consumption of grass sparrows, the hotel will still sell it secretly in order to chase profits.

It can be said that the grass finch is eaten. ”

"Huh! Sadly, I hope it won't be the next passenger pigeon! ”

"It's the first time I've heard it from Cantonese, are you really willing to eat such a beautiful bird?"

"When I was a child, there were indeed a lot of them, and I could see them being dressed in a bunch and hanging in front of the store. I haven't eaten it though, so I feel a little nauseous. ”

"When I was a kid, I could see this bird all over the trees! I really haven't seen each other in years. ”

"So why do people always want to eat game? This bad habit is not broken. ”

"Civets, pangolins, and grass finches, how innocent are people's appetites!"

"It's not too late to protect. It takes all of us to work together. ”
