I Have a Safari Park

"Although it is usually very cold, but if you look right, the two will interact enthusiastically.

The oriental white stork has two stunts when it comes to chasing a girl. The first move is to hold its head high. The lower part of the male bird's front neck has long lanceolate feathers, which stand up when courting, like a suit and leather. A tall, rich and handsome man with a tie, who doesn't love such a handsome, rich and handsome man?

The second trick is to be gentle. When courting, the oriental white stork will gently peck the female's beak, face and neck with its beak, and court the female in a gentle way. as a response. "

"Sounds so romantic!"

"Hahaha, he is indeed a domineering president. Most of the time, he is very cold and only gentle to the heroine!"

Fang Ye said with a smile: "Of course, although the Oriental White Storks have the setting of such a romance novel, their love is not a bloody drama.

Oriental white storks are monogamous. They are very loyal to love. Once they form a mate, they will accompany them for life until the death of their spouse. Even if the other half dies, they won't find a partner again.

In most birds, the females are responsible for incubating the eggs, and the males go to find food. Although it is mainly female, it will be rotated 2-4 times a day, and this is the case every day during the incubation period of a month. Not to mention raising chicks, they will go to great lengths to collect food to feed the chicks. After the brooding period, both the female and the male will lose a lot of weight. "

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

"I remember the last time I visited the zoo and saw a mandarin duck mother alone with a dozen young chicks. It's really a scumbag. After giving birth, he walked away."

At this time, an oriental white stork suddenly lowered its head and raised its tail!

The slender long legs are supported below, and the body becomes a "T".

"Da da da da da da..."

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

As he tapped his beak, he moved his footsteps and rotated his body, and looked around with piercing eyes.

The head sometimes rises, sometimes falls.

"There are so many bamboo boards, we won't praise anything else, let's praise Tianjin gourmet goubuli buns!

This dog does not care about the bun, what is he good at, the eighteen pleats of the thin skin and the 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 turned around, "bang bang bang bang" hitting the bamboo board in his hand!

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

At the same time, one foot is bent and lifted, only one foot is left for support, and the sound pauses.

The head tilted back further, slowly to the end, the percussion sounded again, from slow to urgent.

The wings opened with a slight shock, and the head suddenly lifted up and returned to its original position.

"This is a description of a steamed bun, but you can't use it indiscriminately! Compliment the girl as beautiful, like a flower, don't say that the girl in the middle looks like a steamed bun!"

He regained his previous graceful and arrogant posture.

Several tourists nearby, their eyes widened and their mouths stunned!

Seeing that the Oriental White Stork was no longer moving, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly applauded with a "quack, quack, quack"!

Netizens are even more stupid!

"What is this doing?"

"It feels like listening to it hit an allegro!"

"Hahaha it's funny and a little over the top what's going on!"

"Is this... a courtship?"

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Playing allegro is also a very interesting behavior of the Oriental White Stork!

This is similar to the beak of an owl, both to warn the enemy.

When the oriental white stork finds an intruder in the territory, it will tap its upper and lower beaks quickly, making a rapid 'da da da' sound, and at the same time, it will swing its head from side to side and tilt its head back.

In addition to vigilance, it will also appear during courtship, but it is not courtship. The breeding season of the Oriental White Stork is from March to June. "

"That's it, but this kind of behavior looks so funny, the cold impression that I created just now collapsed!"

"I feel that all kinds of cranes and storks are similar in appearance. I will recognize them when I tap their beaks. There is also a bird like this in the zoo at my house. It should be the Oriental White Stork."

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

There is an oriental white stork standing on the top of a three-meter-high electric tower, proudly looking into the distance independently.

The netizen asked curiously: "Director, what is this thing? Why do you still build an electric tower?"

Although it looks a bit awkward, they know that the various designs in the zoo are very intentional.

This is almost the same as going to Qinghai to see birds of prey building their nests on telephone poles!

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

In addition to introducing the crisis that animals encounter, the zoo will also introduce what efforts people have made to protect them.

Compared with the direct introduction of popular science exhibition cards, there is no doubt that such facilities are placed in front of them, which can arouse the curiosity of tourists to actively understand and touch people's hearts more.

Of course, the tower will not be much smaller than the original scale.

"It's always been a hassle for birds to build their nests on pylons!

In recent years, due to the reduction of habitat and the gradual lack of natural vegetation, wild birds such as the oriental white stork, which are highly dependent on tall trees to build their breeding nests, have to choose artificial structures such as electric 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 prone to line discharge tripping on cloudy and rainy days, which will not only cause power outages for a large range of residents and enterprises, but also cause fatal damage to Oriental white storks when the electric tower is charged at the moment of tripping. harm. "

This is the first time netizens have heard of such a thing!

I never thought about the impact on animals caused by the lights of thousands of homes on weekdays.

Can't help asking: "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Fang Yedao: "So after discussions with the stork protection experts and the staff of the electric power department, they finally decided to install insulating boards and artificial nests without leaving the tower, which can not only reduce the risk of parent birds abandoning their nests, but also prevent the insulators from corroding.

Specifically implemented, do not disturb the young birds before they break their shells, so that the parent birds can hatch with peace of mind. After the young birds emerge from the shell, place multiple insulating baffles under the nests, so that the young birds can stand and have a more stable relationship with the parent birds. Connect the nest with the chicks and transfer to the artificial nest below.

The protected little oriental white stork finally grew up healthy and came out of the nest.

Not only the oriental white stork, but also for large migratory birds, this method is very useful for reference. In the future, we may see more places where such artificial bird nests appear. "

“This facility is really amazing!”

"awesome!"

Fang Ye pondered: "Of course, to protect animals, the most important thing is to protect their habitats. How humans and animals can coexist in harmony is also an issue we need to keep thinking about in the future."
