Fang ye said, "this kind of landscape pool can't be used by birds or other small animals.
As long as the pool is slightly transformed, the edge is lower, or a small slope is made, and some small protrusions that can be based are made inside, small animals can drink water here, which may increase the hope of survival.
A girl in Nanjing arranged two infrared cameras next to a puddle formed after rain in the woods near her home.
People who have lived for five or six years have been asked before. They all say that there are no wild animals here, at most mice and snakes.
Results after the camera was set up, brown backed Shrike, grey magpie, mountain turtledove and spotted headed babbler were photographed. Dozens of birds came here to drink water, take a bath, play and courtship. Weasels came to look for food. A few months later, they came again with their families. Late at night, hedgehogs rummage through the soil for food.
There are so many small animals trying to survive just beside the noisy Road, shaded by a few trees and moistened by a little rain.
Although the scale of these pools and green spaces in the city is small, the scale of many wild animals is also very small. "
"I've seen this news too! I never knew there were so many wild animals in the city."
"Before, because of the epidemic, I picked up my camera and walked around the green space outside the community. I photographed more than 30 kinds of birds! I never thought that there were so many natural elves in prosperous big cities."
"There used to be such a small puddle near my house, which was a paradise for many animals such as butterflies, bees and toads. Later, the hardened road was built, which was not so lively."
"In fact, the city doesn't have to be so neat, horizontal and vertical. Make a slope and some stones at the edge of the pool. This kind of vibrant ecological pool is better than the rigid landscape pool, both in landscape effect and ecological value."
"There are white headed Bulbul and magpies in our community. Sometimes they rest on the air conditioner outside the window. I got a water bowl and put some water on it. I found that there were fluff inside. Some birds really came to drink water."
Netizens watched the birds fly away satisfied with drinking water and talked about it lively.
Fang Ye added, "this is the story told by Mr. Wang Yan on the campus of Peking University.
A young mother mallard took her newborn children across the campus to get familiar with the environment and go swimming in the pond.
In the pond, the ducklings swam for the first time and had a good time.
But after half an hour, the mother mallard was ready to go back to the shore. At this time, she found something wrong.
Because she can fly, the children have not learned to fly, and their bodies are very thin and weak.
The mother mallard swam round and round the edge of the pond. She was so anxious that she screamed. The little mallard also swam round and round behind her mother.
If they can't get ashore, these little mallards may die because of lack of strength at birth.
When Mr. Wang Yan saw it, he was ready to help them.
If you catch them with a net, these ducks don't know they are helping them. They may be frightened and run away and consume more physical strength.
So they put a ladder down by the pond.
The mother mallard took her child and hid far away. She was very vigilant, but as soon as the ladder was set up, she came quickly.
After that, he transformed the ladder and put on plywood and felt cloth to make the ladder more "duck like". After two hours, when the sun was about to set, a duckling finally took the first step bravely.
Then the ducklings lined up and left the pond along the ladder. "
"Wow, I'm so moved!"
Protecting wild animals sounds very tall. In fact, you don't have to do anything earth shaking.
As long as we create some favorable conditions for them, great changes can take place and cities can become ecological and natural.
Next to the exhibition board, there are comparison diagrams of two different pools, their differences and effects on animals.
Outside the pool, some tall trees are scattered, and under the trees are shrubs and tall grass, all local plants.
The vegetation zone with high and low changes can increase the abundance of insects, provide food for birds, and provide cover for the transition from densely vegetated areas to open areas. It has good concealment. Small animals such as raccoons, kittens and otters can rest in the dense grass during the day.
These trees and shrubs are excellent habitats for birds to stop singing, build nests and reproduce. They are far from buildings, close to water sources, and have sufficient food and drinking water. The deciduous layer under the trees will not be cleared, and the deciduous leaves will slowly rot and become humus to breed life.
In the middle of the green belt of the community, there are some landscape walls built of hollow bricks, on which some green vines climb. The cavity of the wall can also be used as a nest for bats and birds.
There are no stone teeth between the green space and the road, so that small animals will not be hindered when migrating across the road.
There is also a Benjamin pile in the corner, which is to pile stones and wood together, fill them with soil mixed with local plant seeds, and plant some thorny and creeping protective plants. This structure has many gaps and is a natural shelter for small animals.
Fang Ye introduced while walking!
The green belts of the community are arranged like this.
Such an environment really attracts many small animals. Along the way, you can hear the sweet songs of birds flying around between shrubs and leaves.
Walking forward, here is a small square for tourists to rest, with benches and garbage cans.
What is striking is that there are some cat statues with different postures here.
Some of them lie on the edge of the flower bed and bask lazily in the sun. Some stand on tiptoe and pick their claws on the edge of the trash can. It seems that they want to see if there is food inside. Some show their heads from the bushes and look around.
The netizen asked curiously, "is this the theme of stray cats?"
Fang ye said, "that's right! When it comes to urban animals, we have to mention stray cats.
Some people say that cats eat mice. Having stray cats is a good thing and can help eliminate mice. In fact, cats are opportunistic predators. Mice, rabbits, birds and frogs can eat as long as they are the right size. They don't specifically stare at mice.
Some researchers have specially counted the recipes of stray cats. Birds account for about 20% - 30%. The recipes of cats in different regions are different, but there is no doubt that they will prey on birds.
No matter what rare bird, it is a piece of meat in the cat's eye, not as safe and harmless as many people think. "
Some people say that other animals eat birds, too?
However, domestic cats are domesticated and hybridized from wild cats of different genera. They are pets serving human beings and have been divorced from the category of nature.
When they return to nature, they are not wild animals, but invasive species, just like scavengers and Brazilian turtles.
Wild animals eating birds will not affect the natural balance, stray cats will, and the impact is very great. "
