On the railing on the other side, stood several coconut lorikeets, chirping away!
A group of students gathered around curiously watching these parrots, with some taking photos with their cell phones.
It was still rather rare for elementary students to have cell phones, except for today, as they were allowed to bring them for playing outdoors.
A lorikeet flew over from behind in search of its companion, stepping on the head of a little girl who was taking a photo to gain momentum. The girl felt the wings flapping on her head, immediately becoming frightened and tucking in her neck, screaming, "Ah! Ah!"
The scene suddenly became lively and joyful.
"Gather round, Class Three gather up! We're off to see the red pandas!"
Teacher Zhang called the students to assemble, getting ready to visit the next exhibit.
The students reluctantly said goodbye to their favorite parrots.
...
After passing through a quiet and lush bamboo grove, they arrived at the red panda exhibit.
