Chapter 331 (1/2)

While the hornbill and his wife are eating, you can't help me.

Although birds don't have people's rich expressions, anyone can see that they are a loving couple when they see their huge beaks gently touching, their heads leaning towards each other, and their eyes blinking at each other!

The act of passing food around with your mouth is no different from the act of feeding each other between human couples.

The keeper explained, ”rhinoceros is a very loyal bird! They are monogamous for life and will not change partners. If one of them dies, the other will not find a new lover, but will be depressed and go on hunger strike and die. ”

The tourists were surprised!

I didn't expect such a beautiful love between animals.

”Wow, so loyal. A pair of birds all my life! ”

”Sometimes when swearing, people often curse people. Animals are not as good as animals. I think animals are a word representing the lower limit. I feel that animals are much better than us in many places! Not only physical quality, but also character! ”

”Yes, this life and death love can become a classic for human beings. What Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Meng Jiangnu cry on the Great Wall!”

The breeder said, ”what do you think of when you talk about birds symbolizing love?”

A tourist immediately said, ”mandarin duck!”

”This is a common misunderstanding! We see that mandarin ducks have gorgeous feathers and beautiful posture. They often appear in pairs. They also comb their feathers and show their love to each other. They look sweet.

The ancients liked to use mandarin ducks to symbolize love. Many poems and pictures have them. For example, in Peacock Flying Southeast, it is written that branches cover each other and leaves communicate with each other. There are double flying birds in it, which is called mandarin ducks. Now some customs have been handed down. When getting married, make a red wedding quilt for the new couple. It's embroidered mandarin duck on it.

In fact, mandarin ducks have nothing to do with loyal love at all. If one partner dies, the other will continue to look for a new partner. Moreover, when the female mandarin ducks are brooding, the male mandarin ducks will not care. A love is over.

After giving birth, I don't care. Is it a bit like a scum man? ”

Many tourists were shocked!

”Don't say, my wedding quilt is an embroidered mandarin duck!”

”One of the most common words about mandarin ducks is beating mandarin ducks with sticks and forcibly breaking up other people's love. It seems that there is no need to score at all.”

”I've heard of that! It is said that Mandarin Ducks not only have fancy feathers, but also have beautiful hearts. ”

”So, let's bless others in the future. Don't say I wish you love like a mandarin duck, or love like a mandarin duck. In this way, people may beat you. I can say I wish you loyalty like a rhinoceros or a swan! Swans are also lifelong monogamous. ”

The keeper joked and then said, ”in fact, the bird that can most symbolize love is rhinoceros. Why do you say so?

Rhinoceros has a very unique brood behavior! When the breeding season comes, the hornbill will find a tree hole and process it as a nest.

Then, the mother rhinoceros will shut herself in the tree hole, mix the leftover food residue and feces and pile them at the hole. The father rhinoceros will also take mud, mixed fruit sawdust and other materials outside to close the hole, leaving only a small hole that can let the mother rhinoceros mouth out.

Then, the mother hornbill will hatch her eggs and brood in the cave. She doesn't have to be afraid of the wind and rain. She can also protect the baby bird from natural enemies such as snakes and raptors.

Let's think about it. Mother rhinoceros stays in the tree hole and is completely closed for a few months. This is how much trust we should have in father rhinoceros. If father rhinoceros dies outside one day, mother rhinoceros will starve to death inside.

The hornbill's father is also very hard. The whole process of hatching and brooding is that he runs around looking for food outside, flying outside again and again. At the beginning, just feed the mother rhinoceros, and then provide food for several small rhinoceros.
