Chapter 329

At this time, Liu Xueqing saw a breeder dressed in blue next to him. He came over with a basket and threw some vegetables and fruits on the ground. Several gray birds immediately ran over and pecked.

The breeder should know.

So he asked, "Hello, what kind of bird is this bird? Why don't they fly? "

The keeper replied enthusiastically, "this is a grey winged trumpeter bird, which is distributed on the edge of the tropical rain forest in South America!

Their flying ability is far lower than other birds, but their running ability is very strong! The two thin legs run very fast, faster than ordinary dogs. In fact, if you fly, you can fly. You can fly ten meters high with your wings. If you encounter a hunter who can't be thrown away, you will fly to a tree.

When night falls, it is the time for them to use their wings. A large group of trumpet birds will flap their wings and fly to the tree to rest, ending the ground life during the day. "

"Oh, oh!"

The keeper added: "wild trumpet birds play a very important role in the local ecosystem! Their special sand bags can ensure that the fruits are digested and the seeds are unharmed. They like to walk on the ground. They can also let the seeds go to other places and let the seeds fall to the ground and take root and sprout through excretion, so they are also Sowers. "

Yingying's father said, "the bird is black and gray. It's not impressive at all. I can't think it's powerful."

Liu Xueqing took the opportunity to educate her daughter and said, "people and animals are the same. You can't judge whether they are good or not just by their appearance. This is called judging people by their appearance."

Yingying looks confused and doesn't seem to understand very well!

However, it's like planting a seed and bearing fruit when the time is right.

Then I walked on and saw a very special bird!

The whole body is mainly black feathers, the face and throat are white, and there is a huge orange beak.

The environment is also very special. They are locked up separately. In front of them are glass curtain walls. Traces are white and dirty, like unclean glass. Steel wire mesh is on both sides and above.

Yingying asked, "Ma Ma, why is this glass dirty?"

Liu Xueqing looked at the environment and was a little confused. She guessed, "is it the breeder who wiped half of the glass? What's the matter?"

I'm a little dissatisfied. The breeder is too irresponsible. I was very happy to see such a beautiful bird house, but I didn't work seriously and made such omissions. It's not a discount to people's impression.

It's not just her. Tourists are confused when they see this environment. Why is the glass dirty and why other birds can fly freely outside? Should this bird be locked up?

Looking around, I couldn't find a breeder to answer my doubts.

Yingying's father pointed to a sign hanging next to him: "Hey, look here to explain!"

Toucans live here. In addition to fruits, seeds and insects, they also prey on some small birds and chicks!

So separate them from other birds.

As for the glass curtain wall, it is to improve the viewing degree. Otherwise, it is not beautiful to take photos across a steel wire mesh. The cage mesh on the side and top can ventilate them, and the cry of Toucan can also be heard.

As for why the glass is dirty, I'm afraid that birds can't see the glass and bump into the glass curtain wall, so I painted soapy water on it. Before Toucan and other birds are familiar with the environment, they will always paint soapy water. After they adapt to the environment, they know that there is a glass here, so they can wipe the soapy water off! So even if it's transparent, it won't hit it.

"Please understand the temporary inconvenience caused to everyone!" The brand finally sold a cute one.

Liu Xueqing suddenly realized: "so it is!"

Thinking about my random guess just now, I thought it was the breeder's omission. I was a little embarrassed. I took out my mobile phone and took a picture of the explanation sign.

After explaining to Yingying, he sighed with Yingying's father, "Hey, don't say it. It's really humanized!"

Yingying's father nodded, looked admiringly and said, "indeed! The work of the zoo is really done. "

Taking into account the needs of tourists to take photos and watch, as well as the safety of birds, they painted soapy water to prevent them from hitting the glass, and specially hung a sign to explain.

This is what Fang ye said. Where tourists may have misunderstandings and feel that the work of the zoo is not done well, put the explanation sign in advance. Don't explain until the tourists ask or expose it and attract the attention of public opinion.

Some zoos are like this. The tigers are a few hemp poles thin, which makes tourists feel whether they are withholding food and not feeding well. They are exposed with indignation.

In fact, it's not. The one raised by others is South China tiger. Just because there are few South China tigers, they can only inbreeding, resulting in genetic defects, which is much thinner than normal tigers.

Moreover, with the development of social media, it is not so obvious that the zoo will withhold food. It may be that the chicken rack is fed to the tiger, which is much cheaper than beef. However, the tiger will be malnourished when eating the chicken rack. After eating, it will be puffy, bad hair color and bad mood. Most people can't see it.

Originally, the zoo fed pork to the tiger. After the original owner took over, it was replaced with beef. A tourist asked what the tiger ate. He said beef. The tourist looked at him incredulously and said why not feed chicken. Chicken is so cheap.

Of course, it's cheap to feed chicken, but the first time I entered Jiaojiao's cage, Fang ye had a high probability of being eaten.

In other zoos, wolves and dogs were mixed together. Tourists exposed that the zoo used dogs as wolves to fool people. Then the zoo explained that it was because the wolf had a low status in the group, was ostracized and bullied by other wolves, was depressed, and had stereotyped behavior.

So he sent him a bitch to accompany him. The wolf gradually regained his self-confidence and was much happier than usual.

In fact, it was originally a good thing to think about animals and improve animal welfare, but it was not good to be misunderstood by tourists.

So hang a sign in advance to explain. Doing a good job in this small detail can not only avoid misunderstanding and enhance the goodwill of tourists, but also turn it into an opportunity for popular science education.

Although the glass looks dirty with soapy water, Liu Xueqing doesn't feel uncomfortable knowing that this is to let birds see the glass.

Holding Yingying, he enjoyed the toucan inside with relish: "Hey, look, is this bird very fun?"

Toucan's face value is still very high!

In the bird hall is Togo Toucan, the largest Toucan, with a body length of more than 60 cm and a mouth of 20 cm. The huge beak is yellow with a little orange red, and the tip of the mouth is black. The black round eyes look very cute.
