I Have a Safari Park
Chapter 642
"Although it''s usually very cold, if you look at it right, the two will interact enthusiastically.
The Oriental White Stork has two unique skills when chasing his sister. The first move is to hold his head high. There are long lanceolate feathers at the lower part of the male''s front neck. When courting, he will stand up, like a tall rich handsome in a suit, leather and tie. Who doesn''t love such a graceful tall rich handsome?
The second move is to gently test. When courting, the Oriental White Stork will gently peck the female''s mouth, face and neck with its mouth, and courtship the female in a gentle way. If the female is moved by it, she will tilt her head back and half open her wings in response. "
"Sounds so romantic!"
"Hahaha, he is indeed a domineering president. Most of the time, he is very cold and gentle to the female owner!"
Fang ye said with a smile, "of course, although the Oriental White Stork has the setting of this romantic novel, there is no dog blood drama in their love.
Oriental White Storks are monogamous. They are very loyal to love. Once they form a spouse, they will accompany them for life until their spouse dies. Even if their other half dies, they will not find a partner again.
Most of the birds are female birds who are responsible for hatching eggs, and the male birds go to look for food, but the Oriental White Stork hatches eggs together with the male and female birds. Although the female birds are the main birds, they rotate 2-4 times a day, and the hatching period is the same every day for a month. Not to mention feeding the young birds, they will spare no effort to collect food for the young birds. After the hatching period, both the female and male birds will lose a lot of weight 。”
"Wow, what a fairy couple in the animal world!"
"I remember the last time I visited the zoo, I saw a mandarin duck mother alone with more than a dozen chicks. It was really a scum man. He left after giving birth to a child."
At this time, an Oriental White Stork suddenly lowered its head and cocked its tail!
The slender long legs support below, and the body becomes a "t".
"Dada dada..."
The upper and lower beaks rapped very quickly, and the sound sounded a little dull, like a woodpecker pecking at wood.
While tapping his beak, he moved his feet and rotated his body, looking around with bright eyes.
The head rises and falls.
"I''m not boasting about the bamboo board. I''m boasting about the Tianjin Food Goubuli steamed stuffed bun!
The dog ignored the steamed stuffed bun. What''s good about him? Eighteen folds with thin skin and big filling are like a flower! "
Netizens looked at the Oriental white stork. In a trance, they seemed to see a crosstalk actor standing on the stage, his head turning around, "clang clang" playing the bamboo board in his hand!
Suddenly, the Oriental White Stork suddenly raised his head, threw his head back, put the back of his head on his back, and a touch of red under his mouth showed up.
At the same time, one foot is bent and lifted, leaving only one foot support, and the sound stops temporarily.
The head leaned back, slowly to the end, and the tapping sound sounded again, from slow to urgent.
The wings shook slightly and opened, and the head suddenly lifted up and returned to its original position.
"This is a description of steamed stuffed bun, but you can''t use it indiscriminately! Praise the girl''s beauty, just like a flower. Don''t say that the girl looks like steamed stuffed bun!"
He regained his previous elegant and arrogant posture.
Several tourists nearby were wide eyed and stunned!
Seeing that the Oriental White Stork was no longer moving, he was stunned and clapped his hands!
Netizens are even more stupid!
"What is this?"
"I feel like listening to it playing an allegro!"
"Hahaha, what''s the matter with being funny and a little bit on top!"
"Is this... Courtship?"
Fang ye said with a smile, "playing Allegro is also a very interesting behavior of Oriental White Stork!
This is more like an owl''s beak tapping, both to warn the enemy.
When the Oriental White Stork finds that there are invaders in its territory, it will tap its beak up and down quickly, making a rapid sound of "Da Da Da". At the same time, it will swing its head left and right and tilt its head back.
It''s not courtship. The breeding season of Oriental White Storks is from March to June. "
"I see, but this behavior looks funny. The high cold impression just established collapsed!"
"I feel that all kinds of cranes and storks look the same. I can recognize them by tapping their beaks. There are also such rattling birds in the zoo over my house. It should be the Oriental white stork."
Walking forward, I saw a small silver tower model standing in the exhibition area.
The Oriental White Stork stands at the top of the three meter high electric tower and looks into the distance proudly and independently.
The netizen asked curiously, "principal, what''s this? Why do you have an electric tower?"
Although it looks a little abrupt, they know that all kinds of designs in the zoo are very meaningful.
This is similar to the birds of prey nesting on the electric pole before going to Qinghai!
After Fang ye came back, he learned about the relevant contents and put the design of the electric pole in the Hexuan and plateau exhibition areas.
In addition to introducing the crisis encountered by animals, the zoo will also introduce what efforts people have made to protect them.
Compared with the direct introduction of popular science exhibition boards, there is no doubt that such facilities are placed in front of us, which can arouse tourists'' curiosity and touch people''s hearts.
Of course, the tower will not be much smaller than the original scale.
"It has always been a trouble for birds to build nests on electric towers," he explained!
In recent years, due to the reduction of habitat and the gradual loss of natural vegetation, wild birds such as Oriental White Stork, which highly rely on tall trees to build breeding nests, have to choose artificial buildings such as electric towers to build nests.
It not only greatly increases the risk of casualties such as hitting wires, but also puts great pressure on the power system.
Once the insulator is too seriously polluted by bird droppings, it is easy to cause line discharge tripping in cloudy and rainy days, which will not only cause power failure of a large range of residents and enterprises, but also cause fatal injury to Oriental White Stork when the tower is charged at the moment of tripping. "
This is the first time that netizens have heard of such a thing!
I never thought about the impact of ordinary lights on animals.
Can''t help asking, "is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"
Fang ye said: "therefore, after discussion with the staff of the power department, stork protection experts finally decided to install insulating plates and artificial nests without leaving the power tower, which can not only reduce the risk of parent birds abandoning their nests, but also avoid the corrosion of insulators.
Specifically, do not disturb the young birds before breaking the shell, so that the parent birds can hatch at ease. After the young birds come out of the shell, put multiple insulating baffles under the nest. When the young birds can stand and have a more stable relationship with the parent birds, connect the nest with the young birds and transfer it to the artificial nest below.
After protection, the little Oriental White Stork finally grew out of its nest healthily.
Not only the Oriental White Stork, but also large migratory birds can learn from this method. In the future, we may see more places and such artificial bird nests. "
"This facility is really great!"
"Great!"
Fang Ye pondered: "of course, the key to protecting animals is to protect their habitat. How to coexist harmoniously between humans and animals is also a problem we need to think about in the future."
