Chương 326: Chapter 326: Hornbill show affection!
There are 4 toucans in the exhibition area!
There are two toucans standing on different treetops, listening to the chirping and quacking birds outside, motionless, turning their heads occasionally, and looking at each other. They seem to be talking, but noisy. , Let's be a quiet beautiful man (female)!
One hopped around on the tree perch, flying around, biting the leaves for a while, and it looked very lively.
There is also a toucan standing on a curved tree trunk in the stream-it is said to be a stream, but it is actually a one-meter-wide stream, bending and falling from several rustic earthy yellow rocks, splashing white water. Looks quite ornamental.
On the wall behind , there is also a wall painting by Zhuang Xiaobai and the others. It is a pale green forest with golden sunlight and shadows. The details are very good, and it blends with the trees in the exhibition area and looks natural and harmonious.
This toucan is cleaning itself with water, its blue paws scratching its huge orange beak quickly, scratching both the left and right sides, then lifted its wings and combed it black with the beak. Feathers under the wings.
After combing a bit, he jumped into the stream, flapped his wings and splashed, wet his body, turned around and jumped back, then flapped his wings and flew to the treetops.
Yingying looked fascinated, and then curiously asked: "Ma Ma, why are their mouths so big? How do they fly so big?"
Liu Xueqing looked at a sign next to it, with a picture of the big mouth of a toucan, which is exactly what it is about!
The toucan can only stay inside, of course, there will be no less signs here.
Visitors who see the peculiar appearance of toucans, whether big or small, must have this doubt.
Liu Xueqing selected the simple and understandable content above and told Yingying: "The toucan's beak is hollow! It is actually very light, not as heavy as it seems."
The outside of the toucan's beak is a thin **** sheath, which is hollow inside and has a foam-like structure similar to a honeycomb. The special structure can effectively absorb the impact from the outside.
Naturalists studied why the toucan grows so exaggerated, and what purpose it has, and found that it plays a role similar to chopsticks.
The toucans are bulky and want to pick berries and seeds. If you stand on the ends of thin branches, the branches cannot bear their weight.
But standing on a thicker branch with a huge mouth, you can eat the fruit that grows on the thin branch.
Usually, he would use his claws to scrape his beak, and rub it on the branches to remove food residue and aging cuticles on the beak, so as to avoid excessive growth or bending of the beak due to lack of wear and tear, which would affect the sensitivity of feeding.
Liu Xueqing thought of washing her toucan in the stream just now, rubbing her beak with her paws, and her eyes lit up!
There is a kind of enlightened feeling when I was working on a problem when I was going to school, and suddenly I saw a subtle solution that I had not thought of.
At this time, the door on the back wall quietly opened a crack.
The breeder opened the door gently, poked his head and looked in, and the toucans also turned their heads and looked over.
Just come to the new environment, I have a familiar process with the exhibition area and the keepers, especially the toucan exhibition area has a small hiding space, so the keepers' movements will be lighter and slower to let them know that they are not malicious.
Entered the exhibition area with a basket of food, tied the grapes to the branches and perches with a string!
Separately tie, hang two or three on one branch.
Liu Xueqing suddenly had a doubt. Other animals just bite into their mouth and chew. The toucan's beak is so long and it has one third of its length. How does it eat and swallow?
With doubts, he quickly reminded: "Yingying, look at it, the toucan is about to eat!"
When the keeper left, only a courageous toucan was seen. The first to relax his vigilance, he flew to the perch.
Standing in the middle of the perch and observing the food situation, his body suddenly leaned forward, bent over his body and pointed his mouth, grabbed a grape with the tip of his beak, and plucked it smoothly!
Then put the grapes under the feet and fix them, and bite down half of them with the beak.
The tourists all opened their eyes and stared attentively.
An unexpected situation has occurred!
The toucan suddenly raised its beak, and used a skillful effort to throw the grapes into the air, then raised its head and opened its mouth, and the grapes fell into the mouth precisely.
The action is done in one go, handsome and smooth!
The tourists were stunned: "Fuck! Handsome!"
"Good guy, eating is like playing acrobatics!"
"I have played this with my classmates! Throw the snacks into the sky and see who can pick them up. But I'm stupid, and I usually can't pick them up."
Liu Xueqing finally understood how the toucan's long beak eats!
Yingying watched intently, very happy, and clapped her hands.
Watching the toucan eat for a while, continue walking.
came to the hornbill exhibition area!
Both hornbills and toucans have huge beaks, and they belong to a pair that is often confused by tourists.
"Ma Ma, what kind of bird is this?"
Liu Xueqing glanced at the exhibition sign: "This is a double-horned hornbill!"
The adult double-horned hornbill has a 30cm beak and a large and wide helmet protrusion. The helmet protrusion is slightly concave, and the front edge has two horn-like protrusions, which resemble the helmet of an ancient warrior, hence the name double-horned hornbill. Hornbill!
is much larger than toucans, with a wingspan of 140-160cm. It is a large bird, and the space in the exhibition area is much larger than that of toucans.
At this time, two hornbills were standing on the perch. The breeder explained to the tourists: "The one on the left is the hornbill wife, whose name is Tiantian, and the one on the right is the hornbill husband, Feifei!"
It seemed that she had just replenished food, but Tiantian picked up a nut from the container hung on the perch leaned her head to the right and stuffed it into Feifei's mouth. Honey, this one is for you!
Feifei grabbed the nut, the two hornbills touched the tip of the mouth, and then Tiantian released his mouth. Feifei blinked his eyes and gave Tiantian a glance, and then passed the nut to Tiantian. Honey, let's eat it!
Tourists, especially single young people, looked very sad: "Fuck! I was actually loved by Niaoxiu!"
"These days, when visiting the wolf hall and being fed dog food, every bird hall has to be fed a bird's food! It's too difficult for me!"
"It's sour!"
"What did I do wrong, let me see this!"
Tiantian bumped her mouth twice, and stuffed Feifei again!
When Feifei returned this time, Tiantian's mouth was not firmly clamped, and the nuts fell off.
The breeder saw it and couldn't help but laughed out: "It can be seen that our hornbill couple are indeed very affectionate! The delicious nuts are reluctant to eat by themselves, and they are feeding each other."
The two hornbills looked at each other, and Feifei took another one out of the container and fed it to Tiantian. Tiantian ate it this time.
