I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 330 Hornbill Shows Love!
There are a total of 4 toucans in the exhibition area!
There are two toucans standing on different treetops, listening to the chirping and humming of various birds outside, motionless, occasionally turning their heads and looking at each other, as if to say, no noise but no noise. , or be a quiet handsome boy (girl)!
One was jumping up and down on the perch on the tree, flying around, biting the leaves for a while, looking very lively.
There is also a toucan standing on a curved tree trunk in the stream - it is said to be a stream, but it is actually a one-meter-wide water stream that bends and falls from a few rustic earth-yellow rocks, splashing white water, It looks quite entertaining.
On the back wall, there are also wall paintings painted by Zhuang Xiaobai and the others, a light green forest with golden sunlight and shadows. The details are in place. It blends in with the stream and trees in the exhibition area and looks natural and harmonious.
The toucan was cleaning itself with a stream of water, its blue claws quickly scratching its huge orange beak, both left and right, then raised its wings and combed its beak to black Feathers under the wings.
After combing for a while, he jumped into the stream, flapped his wings and splashed water, got his body wet, turned around and jumped back, then flapped his wings and flew to the treetops.
Yingying was fascinated, and then asked curiously: "Mama, why are their mouths so big? How do they fly with such big mouths?"
Liu Xueqing looked at a display card next to it. It was a picture of a toucan with a big mouth, which was talking about this issue!
The toucan can only stay inside, of course, there will be no less of its display cards here.
Tourists who see the peculiar shape of the toucan, whether big or small, must have this doubt.
Liu Xueqing picked out the simple and understandable content above and told Yingying: "The beak of a toucan is hollow! It's actually very light, and it's not as heavy as it looks."
The outside of the toucan beak is a thin horny sheath, the inside is hollow, and the foam-like structure is similar to a honeycomb. The special structure can effectively absorb the impact from the outside.
Naturalists studied why the toucan is so exaggerated and what it is used for, and found that it played a role similar to chopsticks.
Toucans are heavy and want to pick berries and seeds, and if they stand on the ends of thinner branches, the branches cannot bear their weight.
But by leaning on the giant mouth and standing on the thicker branches, you can eat the fruit that grows on the thin branches.
Usually, they scrape their beaks with their claws, and rub their beaks on the branches to remove food residues and aged cuticles on the beaks, so as to prevent the beaks from overgrowing or bending due to the lack of wear and tear, which affects the sensitivity of feeding.
Liu Xueqing's eyes lit up when she thought of the act of washing her toucan in the stream and rubbing her beak with her claws!
When I was doing a problem in school, I suddenly saw an exquisite solution that I had not thought of, and I suddenly felt enlightened.
At this moment, the door on the back wall quietly opened a crack.
The breeder gently opened the door, stuck his head out and looked in, and the toucans also turned their heads to look over.
When I first came to the new environment, I was familiar with the exhibition area and the breeders. In particular, the toucan exhibition area has little space to hide, so the breeders will move lightly and slowly to let them know that they are not malicious.
Entered the exhibition area with a food basket and tied the grapes to the branches and perches with strings!
Separate them and hang two or three on one branch.
Liu Xueqing suddenly had a doubt. Other animals can bite into their mouths and chew them. The toucan has such a long beak, one-third of its body length, how does it eat and swallow?
With doubts, he quickly reminded: "Yingying, look, the toucan is going to eat!"
When the breeder left, I saw a timid toucan, the first to let down its guard and flew to the perch.
Standing in the middle of the perch, I observed the situation of the food, my body suddenly leaned forward, leaned over my body and extended its mouth, grabbed a grape with the tip of its beak, and picked it off smoothly!
Then put the grapes under the feet and fix them, and bite them in half with their beaks.
The tourists all opened their eyes and watched intently.
The unexpected happened!
The toucan suddenly raised its mouth and used a clever force to throw the grapes into the air, then raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and the grapes fell precisely into its mouth.
The action is done in one go, handsome and smooth!
The tourists were stunned: "Fuck! Handsome!"
"Good guy, eating is like doing acrobatics!"
"I even played this with my classmates! Throw the snacks into the sky and see who can catch them. But I'm rather stupid, so I usually can't catch them."
Liu Xueqing finally understood how the toucan's long beak eats!
Yingying watched intently, extremely happy, and clapped her hands.
Seeing that the toucan eats, keep walking.
Came to the hornbill exhibition area!
Hornbills and toucans also have huge beaks and are a pair that is often confused by tourists.
"Mama, what kind of bird is this?"
Liu Xueqing glanced at the display board: "This is a double-horned hornbill!"
The adult double-horned hornbill has a large mouth of 30cm and a large and wide helmet protrusion. The top of the helmet protrusion is slightly concave, and there are two horn-like protrusions on the front edge, which are like the helmets of ancient warriors, hence the name double-horned. Hornbill!
The size is much larger than that of the toucan, with a wingspan of 140-160cm, which is a large bird, and the exhibition space is much larger than that of the toucan.
At this time, two hornbills were standing on the perch, and the breeder explained to the tourists: "The one on the left is the hornbill wife named Tiantian, and the one on the right is the hornbill husband, Feifei!"
It seemed that she had just replenished her food when she saw Tiantian pick up a nut from the container hanging on the perch, leaned her head to the right, and stuffed it into Feifei's mouth. Honey, this is for you!
Feifei held the nut in his mouth, and the tip of the two hornbills touched the tip of his beak, then Tiantian let go of his mouth, Feifei blinked at Tiantian, and handed the nut to Tiantian again. Honey, it's up to you to eat!
Tourists, especially single young people, looked very sad: "Damn it! I was actually loved by Niao Xiu!"
"These days, I've been fed dog food when I go to the Wolf Hall, and I've been fed a mouth of bird food when I go to the Bird Hall! It's too difficult for me!"
"Sour sour!"
"What did I do wrong, show me this!"
Tiantian bumped her mouth twice, and then stuffed Feifei again!
When Feifei handed it back this time, Tiantian's mouth was not firmly clamped, and the nut fell off.
When the breeder saw it, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "You can see that our hornbill couple is really in love! The delicious nuts are reluctant to eat, and they are feeding each other."
The two hornbills looked at each other, and Feifei took another one out of the container and fed it to Tiantian, who ate it this time.
