After listening to Fang Ye''s explanation, the tourists turned their eyes to the big red stork to see which one was looking for food in the water with its head down.

The surface of the deep water area can submerge their attached feet, and the shallow water area is 10 cm, and the underwater mud can be seen.

A big red Stork in shallow water bent its neck like a snake, put its beak into the mud, slowly turned its head in circles, stirred the mud, and chewed twice.

The big red stork lowered its head and put its beak in the mud, leaving a winding and shallow track.

He stamped his feet and bowed his head to draw a circle.

Fang ye said, "there are small shrimps in the water lake. This is also the staple food of flamingos! There are Flamingo noodles made of shrimp skin, fish meal and corn meal.

Did you see that Flamingo stamping its feet? They trample on the ground to make the food under rise. "

A big red Stork in deep water, whose slender long legs can''t reach the bottom of the water, floats on the water like a pink swan.

He looked down, then his pink tail tilted up and his head was deeply buried in the water.

It looks like a swan.

"Ga ga ~ Gu Gu ~"

The call of flamingos sounds a little similar to that of geese, with a unique nasal sound.

Hundreds of flamingos dazzled the tourists.

Lily suddenly found a big red Stork in the middle of the water lake. He straightened his neck and shouted rhythmically. His head seemed to wind up, swinging left and right on the horizontal line, twisting and clicking back.

Like, who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?

I don''t know what the wind is.

Feeling very funny, he pointed to the big red stork and said to his companion, "Hey, look at that one!"

When Lin Hao looked at them, several big red storks next to them seemed to be infected. They straightened their necks and horizontally swung their heads around. At the same time, they became a repeater and shouted in unison: "Gaga ~ goo ~"

Who am I? What am I doing?

It looks like the Travel Agency organized a trip. When the tourists came to the station, they suddenly found that the bus didn''t come!

Look left and right. Where''s the car? What about the driver? What about the guide? Why didn''t the guide come? Won''t you be deceived?

At a loss!

The tourists couldn''t help laughing when they looked at them shouting and turning their heads in confusion!

"Yo, what are you doing?"

"This confused little look!"

"Hahaha, it''s so fun. Is this dancing?"

"Let''s swing together! DJ, music!"

There are more and more big red storks swinging their heads and shouting rhythmically, which gradually spread to the whole group. Everyone swings their heads together, faster and faster, like some kind of strange dance. The scene is magical and spectacular!

The tourists wanted to make some comments, but the neat voices of the big red storks gathered together, covered all the other voices, and could not hear them.

We can only take two photos and a video to record this spectacle.

About a minute has passed!

The great red storks stopped crying and their heads stopped moving.

For a moment, there was great silence around. Only the low and short grunts of the big red storks could be heard, and their beaks were facing the sky. It seemed that they still had something to say.

Some big red storks lowered their heads and continued foraging. Others raised their shoulders and tail feathers and spread their wings to both sides, revealing a touch of black under the pink wings, which seemed to show off to other big red storks around.

The tourists can''t wait: "principal..."

Fang ye knew what they were going to ask: "is it fun? Swinging his head is the most common courtship behavior of flamingos!

Flamingos have many interesting group behaviors, which are basically related to courtship.

Their breeding season is from March to June. These group behaviors can help flamingos synchronize the breeding cycle, because their habitat environment is very complex and changeable. If they fail to mate when the water level of the salt lake is the most appropriate and the food is the most abundant, they may miss the opportunity and can''t reproduce this year. This group behavior is very important.

So come to our zoo more this time, maybe you can enjoy more interesting behaviors.

Although you can see it after the breeding season, it''s not so frequent, just like the peacock. "

These big red storks, who came to the zoo to settle down, have missed a breeding period. I don''t know if they can breed this year.

The first thing to breed is to build a nest, but after the construction of the Flamingo hall, the keepers finished the work on behalf of the big red stork.

More than a dozen bags of selenium rich laterite were specially selected and moved to a quiet corner behind the island.

You can''t see the front here. There''s a peeping place in the back.

The clay and clay were mixed into thin mud, and then piled up into a nest like an inverted washbasin with a small pit inside. The flaming bird nests are arranged separately. I don''t know, I thought it was a mine array.

For flamingos in the wild, to build a nest is to take a little bit of mud and build it into a high tower shape of 15-45cm wide and about 40cm wide. Put eggs in the pit at the top of the tower, so as to prevent the eggs from being roasted due to too high ground temperature or being submerged by sudden water rise.

Although the big red stork saw the nest built for them, it had no plan to use it for the time being. It may take some time to adjust.

A tourist asked, "I remember watching a video of flamingos. A large group of flamingos walked quickly in one direction in the water, swinging their heads while walking!"

Fang ye said with a smile: "coincidentally, the English name of Flamingo is flamenco and flamingo. It is the same as the name of Spanish flamenco dance. It dances with the same enthusiasm. This behavior usually occurs at the peak of the courtship season!"

Lin Hao said with great regret, "ah, it''s a pity. I''m going back to school to reply right now. I can''t see them dancing Franco Mingo!"

Da Wu patted him on the shoulder: "it''s okay. What''s fun? I''ll take a video and send it to the group."

Lin Hao: "OK, thanks!"

That''s right, but watching the video must be better than watching it in person.

Let''s say the shocking scene of these big red storks waving their heads and singing together. Stand here in person and watch them spread from several swinging their heads to one. Listening to the noise covered up by other noises, how much can the video convey?

Moreover, if you come to the zoo to see animals, as long as the environment is rich and rich, they can show rich behavior and full of uncertainty. This sense of uncertainty is also a kind of surprise.

There are also popular science exhibition boards and breeders'' explanations. You can learn more about animals, which is also very interesting.

Lily remembered something and warned, "Da Wu, the video of my head bitten by a pelican can''t be put in the group! Delete it quickly!"

Da Wu said, "Hey, it''s better to have fun alone than to have fun together. We''ll be happy when we watch together!"

Lily was angry and raised her fist: "look for a fight!"
