The wide wings are half spread and twisted very vigorously!
The scarf like feathers under the neck seem to be flying.
It is also without any sense of contradiction to match it with a hi PI electric dance music.
Directly to the tourists, stunned: "why is it shaking?"
"Pinecone bean lightning whip!"
"Worthy of being two birds!"
Asked the keeper, "what is he doing?"
In fact, the breeder is not very clear. He hasn't been exposed to feeding for a long time and hasn't completely found out his temperament.
However, based on the experience of taking care of other waterfowls at ordinary times, he guessed: "may it be demonstrating against us? It means that this is its territory and doesn't want us to get close? Let's stay a little away!"
The tourists were also very sensible, and Wen Yan retreated one after another.
A tourist asked curiously, "I remember that the whale headed stork seems to be endangered because it is stupid to catch fish. Is this true?"
The keeper smiled and asked, "what do you think?"
The tourist thought, "Hey, I don't know."
The keeper raised his eyebrows and said, "of course not! Look at the big mouth of the whale headed stork. Its mouth is strong. It can hunt African lung fish, catfish, even the young of the Nile crocodile and the young of the giant lizard. In fact, it is a very fierce bird."
"Wow!"
"Even crocodiles eat! Even small crocodiles are very powerful!"
The crowd exclaimed.
"You may have the impression that it is a kind of bird. For example, it stands motionless for a long time, like a statue.
This is actually the hunting strategy of the whale headed stork, which is more similar to the habits of herons. Once they find their prey, they will attack quickly, rush into the water and catch the prey with their big mouths.
In addition, it often turns its eyes, which may be the point that people think whale headed storks are more stupid.
In fact, this is the blink membrane of many animals, which can clean and protect eyes.
For example, crocodile's blink membrane will open underwater to protect eyes, like diving glasses, but crocodile's blink membrane is transparent.
As soon as the whale headed stork catches fish, this layer of blink membrane will close to prevent the eyes from being impacted by water spray and prevent the eyes from being hurt by fish.
It's just that we humans look at it and think it's stupid, not the whale headed stork. "
"Oh ~"
The keeper said: "what is endangered because it can't fish? It's the same as saying that pandas are cold and endangered. Every creature can appear in front of us. In fact, their viability is very strong.
In some videos, whale headed storks can't catch fish for a long time. They catch tens of centimeters of big fish in the wild. Of course, it's difficult to pick up small fish. It's like we use chopsticks to catch small beans. It's good to replace them with something bigger.
Then the marketing number tells nonsense. This kind of bird is too stupid to catch fish. It is extinct by its own strength. In fact, it is endangered now because of the destruction of its wild habitat.
Look at the beak tip of the whale headed stork. It bends like an eagle hook. People clamp it very accurately. "
Just then, on the driftwood trampled by the whale headed stork, a mallard swam over.
Flapping his wings and stepping on the driftwood, it seems that he intends to bask in the sun here.
The whale headed Stork was immediately attracted and looked at it.
Suddenly, he jumped gently to the side of the mallard, and his wings spread back in a charging posture.
He lowered his head and opened his mouth and picked up the mallard.
The mallard was in the air and was so scared that he kicked his legs, "quack" and shouted!
"Oh!"
The tourists also exclaimed!
The wise eye of the whale headed stork blinked and let it fall freely. Two feathers fluttered and fell.
The mallard's heart is estimated to be extremely broken. Brother, what are you doing, playing?
He fell into the water and swam away quickly. He probably didn't dare to get close to the big brother easily in the future.
Yugong patted his heart on his chest and exhaled, "I thought the duck was going to be eaten!"
The keeper explained, "the whale headed stork is a bit like the pelican. It not only has the same temperament and looks a little silly, but also likes to hold anything in its mouth.
Although I eat birds occasionally, the main food is fish!
We usually have fish to feed. They won't eat birds. They're just curious. Otherwise, they can't be mixed with mandarin ducks here. "
"Ha ha, I've seen pelicans swallow the head of swans, and then spit it out again. The swans are so angry that they chase the pelicans."
"What's holding a swan's head? I've seen holding a child's head."
"But there's a saying. Just now I picked up the duck. The action was really fast! And my eyes were very powerful."
Tourists can't imagine how such a stupid bird hunts just listening to the breeder.
But just now I saw a whale headed stork holding a duck. Although its action was not as fast as that of an eagle hunting, it was like a flash of lightning, and it rushed down from the air, "suddenly", but because of its large size, compared with small animals, even if its action was slower, it jumped far and its mouth was very accurate.
There is a feeling of playing Tai Chi and coming first.
This will see the whale head stork again. His eyes are bright, like a cold killer!
The impression is very different.
Another tourist asked curiously, "I watched a video. The whale headed stork will bow to people. It's very polite. Is this true?"
The breeder smiled and said, "try it and practice the truth!"
So the tourist stepped forward two steps and bowed to the whale headed stork.
Raise your head and wait for it to give you a gift!
The whale headed stork tilted its head and stared at the tourists with intelligent eyes.
Seems to say: do you seem stupid?
"Eh?" the tourist looked disappointed.
The keeper explained: "this bowing to people may be raised in captivity since childhood. I haven't seen other whale headed storks. They regard people as their own kind. This is their way of communication with their own kind.
Like our Oriental white storks in Hexuan, they also have similar behaviors when courting or guarding. They bow and clatter their beaks. They are very noisy and fun like woodpeckers. "
The whale headed stork stayed on the driftwood on the shore for a while and walked slowly for two steps.
Suddenly it seemed to find something. It spread its wings and rushed forward.
This time he picked up a piece of black wood in the water.
He threw it behind his mouth, chewed it twice, and a bunch of stupid hair behind his head was thrown around.
Blinked and rolled his eyes.
Look at its expression. It doesn't taste very good. Loosen your mouth.
The wood fell into the water.
The wood fell into the water and was picked up again.
In fact, it's just playing with a wood!
However, because the appearance is too simple, it gives people a feeling of not being too smart.
When the tourists saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.
It's really a cute bird. No wonder the online whale stork is so popular now.
Yugongxin kept laughing and took many photos of the whale headed stork.
