Chapter 660: The not-so-smart Azi

Half of the wide wings, twisted very vigorously!

The scarf-like feathers under the neck seemed to be thrown away.

There is no sense of disobedience to accompany it with a hippy electronic dance music.

The tourists were stunned: "Why is this still shaking?"

"Pine Cone Jelly Bean Lightning Whip!"

"It's worthy of being the second one among the birds!"

Asked the breeder: "What is it doing?"

The breeder is actually not very clear. The time he has been in contact with breeding has not been long, and he has not fully understood its temperament.

However, relying on the usual experience of caring for other waterfowls, he guessed: "Maybe it is demonstrating against us? It means that this is its territory, and you don't want us to be close? Let's stay away a little bit!"

The tourists are also very sensible, and they retreat a little after hearing this.

A tourist asked curiously: "I remember the cetacean became endangered because it was stupid to catch fish. Is this true?"

The breeder smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

The tourist thought for a while: "Hey, I don't know."

The breeder raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course not! Look at the big mouth of the whalehead stork, which is powerful and can hunt African lungfish, catfish, and even the cubs of Nile crocodile, and monitor lizards over 50 cm. The young lizard is actually a kind of bird with a very vigorous temperament."

"Wow!"

"Eat all crocodiles! Even the little crocodiles are amazing!"

Everyone exclaimed.

"Everyone may remember that it is a very dumb bird. For example, standing dumb and motionless for a long time, like a statue.

This is actually the hunting strategy of the whalehead stork, which is more similar to the habits of herons. Once the prey is found, it will attack quickly and rush into the water to grab the prey with a big mouth.

Also, it often rolls its eyes, which may be a bit more dull for everyone.

In fact, this is a nictitating membrane that many animals have, and it has the effect of cleaning and protecting the eyes.

For example, a crocodile will open the nictitating membrane under water to protect the eyes, just like diving glasses, but the nictitating membrane of a crocodile is transparent.

The instant the stork is fishing, this nictitating film will be closed to prevent the eyes from being impacted by the water splashes, and also to keep the eyeballs from being injured by the fish.

It's just that we humans think it is staying, not that the whalehead is really staying. "

"Oh~"

The breeder said: "There is nothing that can't fish and is endangered. This is the same as saying that pandas are indifferent and endangered. Every kind of creature can appear in front of our eyes. In fact, they have a strong ability to survive.

In some videos, whale-headed storks can't catch fish for a long time. They catch large fish tens of centimeters in the wild. Of course, it is more difficult to catch small fish. It's like we use chopsticks to hold small beans, it's easy to hold them by replacing them with something larger.

Then the marketing account gave a nonsense about this kind of bird that is too stupid to catch fish, and it has become extinct by its own strength. In fact, it is now endangered because of the destruction of its wild habitat.

Looking at the tip of the whalehead stork's beak, it bends like an eagle's hook, and it is accurately clamped. "

As he was talking, a mallard swam over on the driftwood under the foot of the stork.

He patted his wings and stepped on the driftwood, as if he was planning to bask in the sun here.

The whalehead stork was immediately attracted and looked at it.

Suddenly, he jumped slightly and jumped to the side of the mallard, his wings splayed backwards in a charging posture.

He bowed his head and opened his mouth, and picked up the mallard.

The mallard was in the air, kicking his legs again and again in fright, yelling "quack"!

"Oh!"

The tourists also exclaimed!

The whalehead stork blinked with wise eyes, then let it go in a free fall, with two feathers drifting down.

The mallard's heart is probably extremely broken, eldest brother, what are you doing, playing?

Falling into the water, he quickly wandered away, probably not dare to approach this elder brother easily in the future.

Amemiya patted his chest and exhaled, "I thought the ducks were going to be eaten!"

The breeder explained: "Whalebill and pelican are a bit like. Not only are they similar in temperament, they look a little silly, and they like to use their mouths when they see anything.

Although I sometimes eat birds, the main food is fish!

We usually have fish to feed them. They don't know how to eat birds. Just be curious, otherwise they can't be mixed with mandarin ducks here. "

"Haha, I have seen the head of a pelican swallowing a swan, and then spit it out again, so angry that the swan chased the pelican and pecked."

"What's a swan's head? I've seen a kid's head."

"But I have to say, I just picked up the duck, the action is really fast! And the eyes are very imposing."

Visitors just listened to the keeper, and it was a little hard to imagine how such a dumb bird hunted.

But just now I saw the whale-headed stork picking a duck. Although the action is not as quick as an eagle hunting, it is like a flash of lightning, and it rushes down from the air at once, but because of its large body, it moves more slowly than a small animal. It's very far in one jump, and the mouth is very precise.

There is a feeling that when you practice Tai Chi, you come first.

This will see the whalehead stork again, with piercing eyes, like a cold assassin!

The impression is very different.

Another tourist asked curiously: "I watched a video and the whalehead stork would bow to people, very polite. Is this true?"

The breeder smiled and said, "Try it, and practice the truth!"

So the tourist took two steps forward and bowed to the stork.

Raise your head, waiting expectantly for it to return a gift to yourself!

The stork tilted his head and stared at the tourists with wise eyes.

It seems to be saying: Do you seem stupid?

"Huh?" The tourist showed a disappointed look.

The breeder explained: "This bow to people. Maybe I have been raised artificially since I was young. I haven't seen other whalehead storks. They treat people as the same kind. This is how they communicate with their kind.

Like the Oriental White Storks in Hexuan, they also behave similarly when they are courting or on alert. They bow and tap their beaks at the same time. They are very noisy and, like woodpeckers, they are also very fun. "

The stork stayed on the driftwood on the shore for a while, and took two steps slowly.

Suddenly, it seemed that he had discovered something, and he spread his wings again and rushed forward.

This time I grabbed a piece of black wood in the water.

He shook it behind his mouth, chewed twice, and flung a bunch of dull hair on the back of his head.

Blinked and rolled his eyes.

Look at its expression, the taste is not very good, let go of your mouth.

With a click, the wood fell into the water.

The wood fell into the water and picked up again.

Actually just play with the wood in your mouth!

But because the appearance is too naive, it gives people a not very smart feeling.

When the tourists saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.

It is indeed a very cute and cute bird, no wonder the whalehead stork on the Internet is so hot now.

Amemiya smiled constantly, and took many photos of the stork.
