Chapter 362

Cultivating tourists' empathy is one of the missions of zoo protection education.

Empathy can let visitors understand the feelings of animals, respect animals more, and finally turn into actions to protect animals.

The most basic way to cultivate empathy is that the zoo should show the natural behavior of animals. Birds fly in the sky and sing in the treetops, and pandas climb up and down the trees.

Cycling, dressing, handstands for no reason, jumping into a fire circle are behaviors that will not appear in nature.

Strengthening the concept of animal "individual" is very helpful to cultivate empathy, especially for children.

After all, transposition thinking about a species is abstract, but transposition thinking about an animal is concrete.

At this time, Fang Ye is explaining the name, personality and interesting stories of individual animals, so that children can gradually realize that each animal is an independent individual and has its own emotional hobbies, not just an independent species.

Teach in fun.

When Kim Martin finished his food and flew aside, Fang Ye shouted again, "Jin Zhi?"

Jin Zhi flew into his hand and politely nodded his head to the children. He was a gentleman and friendly: "Hello! Hello! "

It is not only tongue learning, but also cooperative action. It knows the meaning of this sentence.

"Wow!"

"Hello, beautiful parrot!"

The children were amazed again.

A polite and smart parrot will say hello without anyone saying.

Jin Zhi stood beside Fang ye, leaned over and said to his beautiful children, "MUA!"

(*╯3╰)

The mouth made a kiss.

Fang Ye smiled and introduced to the crowd: "this parrot's name is Jinzhi. It's the leader of the parrot!

Jin Zhi is very clever. He learns to speak quickly and recites ancient poems. And good personality, sensible and obedient. No matter to people or birds, they are polite and friendly, so these parrots also respect it!

Jin Zhi, can you recite an ancient poem? "

Jin Zhi is very happy to be praised by Fang Ye!

"Quack!"

Clear your throat and brew it.

"The bright moon in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. "

Read and shake your head. Voice cadence, full of emotion!

If you close your eyes, you will feel that it was read by a person, but you have a cold and your voice is a little hoarse!

The children were stunned. How did the parrot feel that he recited poetry so well? It felt like a class representative?

The Chinese teacher next to me is even more stupid!

I make complaints about it: "let it go to school, do not delay the children to Tsinghua!"

It's really refined.

"Yo?" Fang Ye was also surprised, "what's your new poem? Yes, I'll give you a walnut. "

I taught a song to climb the stork tower before. Now I can even think at night.

Jin Zhi picked up the walnut and courted Jing.

The two parrots flew to a perch and ate walnuts together. They bit each other and fed each other. They looked very close.

Now they are officially in love.

Wang Haoran just saw the parrot reciting poetry and felt very magical. At this time, he asked curiously, "why can the parrot talk? Other birds only chirp. "

Looking at the children's curious eyes, Fang ye thought about how to explain it more simply, and then said: "well, the secret of parrot speaking lies in its special physiological structure.

The vocal organ of birds is called the vocal tube. The vocal tube of parrots is more perfect than that of ordinary birds. It is also similar to the structure of human vocal cords. There is an obtuse angle approximately at a right angle. This angle is the key to determining the pronunciation syllable and tone. The closer it is to the right angle, the stronger the sense of syllable and tone.

Moreover, the parrot's tongue is also very developed, which is similar to the human tongue, so the parrot can make human voice.

As for why they have the nature of learning to talk, one is that birds like to respond to calls similar to themselves and reject birds with different calls. Parrots can imitate the calls of other birds, so they can better integrate into the group.

And parrots are very smart. They learn to tongue is also a kind of entertainment. They create a challenge for themselves and try to learn to tongue to kill boring time. "

"Oh ~"

After answering the question, Fang Ye talked about some popular science knowledge of birds and their importance to ecology!

Although the protection of wild animals is a matter of course, there is no need for any reason. We should not hunt and destroy their habitat at will, but this statement is still lack of persuasion.

For most people, only when the value is stated clearly can people arouse their awareness of protection.

"The most important ecological function of birds is to help spread seeds. In some tropical forests, birds can help most trees and plants spread seeds. Some important tree species also rely on some specific birds to spread seeds.

Birds and trees are interdependent.

Birds can also help spread pollen

Another important role is to control pests. In the apple plantations in the Netherlands, researchers found that the reduction of pests by birds increased the output of apple trees by more than 66%. Well, I didn't learn the percentage, that's more than half

Raptors can control mice in farmland. A barn owl will eat more than 11000 mice that consume 13 tons of crops in its life. Moreover, just because Raptors survive nearby, out of fear of raptors, it can significantly reduce the consumption of seeds by mice and rabbits.

Now some farmers complain that there are more rabbits in the fields because there are fewer Raptors... "

Fang Ye briefly introduced the ecological role of birds. Children may not understand some details. Anyway, it's OK to have an overall impression.

Many naughty little boys like to go up a tree and dig out a bird's nest when they were young. They even take a slingshot and stones to hit birds.

Seeing the natural beauty of birds today, I heard him say that birds have very important ecological value. Maybe I can take more care of birds in the future.

After that, some children pestered Fang ye and begged him to teach him bird language! I also want to experience the power of commanding the birds.

And Zheng Yan in Wang Haoran's class, a studious child, asked him all kinds of strange questions, why are birds so colorful? Are penguins birds? I'm interested in learning more about birds.

Some teachers have problems and want to talk to Fang Ye!

Just now he spoke in a shallow way in order to take care of the children.

The rest of the children went to play with parrots.

A child ran to jinmading, looked at it carefully, turned around, pointed to it with his thumb, proudly showed off with the people and said, "I know it. It was it that pooped on my head last time!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" The children laughed and a teacher nearby couldn't help laughing. It was the same thing that made them very proud.

Golden Martin glanced at the children, blinked, showed a sly look, and suddenly called out very loudly.

"Ga!"

"Ouch!"

There was a sudden sound behind the child. He didn't react. He was startled and ran several meters away.

The crowd laughed at him again.
