I Have a Safari Park

The golden-yellow silk-like crown feathers look like a fine silk and satin, very silky, exuding a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.

The golden pheasant took a few steps forward lightly, and its long floating tail was also exposed from behind the stone.

The tail feathers are brown and yellow, and the texture is mottled.

When walking, the tail feathers rhythmically vibrated up and down with the pace, looking like a majestic, handsome and vigorous general in Peking Opera, striding on the stage, the flag behind him brought a gust of wind, rustling, but not chaotic.

In fact, the flower feathers on the crowns of military generals in Peking Opera are made from the tail feathers of the golden pheasant. For example, Zhou Yu, Lu Bu and Sun Wukong used to decorate with the feathers of the white-crowned long-tailed pheasant.

This red-bellied golden pheasant is not very afraid of tourists. Even if there are tourists watching it, it is calmly doing its own thing.

Gently jumped off the stone and pecking with his head down on the gray-black sand.

Every time he pecked, the fan-shaped orange-yellow feather shawl behind his head was tossed and flicked, revealing the turquoise scales below, plus the golden crown and red chest, gorgeous and charming.

He scratched the sand with his claws twice, turned around, and turned his butt towards them.

The blue disc-shaped feathers on the wings looked black under the shade of the trees, but under the refraction of the sun, they shone with a metallic color, which was as deep and blue as the sea, shining brightly.

He suddenly raised his head and looked left and right for a moment.

Then, with a slight kick of the foot, the feathers fluttered, the wings flapped, and they flew up.

When flying, the tail feathers, which are longer than the body, fall under the body, and open like the tail of a kite.

Under the bright golden sunlight in the morning, the feathers are bright and bright, like a colorful and gorgeous flame flying!

All the tourists suddenly exclaimed!

Yu Gongxin couldn't help but open her eyes: "Wow, Si Guoyi!"

I quickly took out my camera and took a couple of pictures!

Liu Wei watched the golden pheasant fly to the tree trunk, stopped to rest, and sighed, "It's so beautiful!"

Such a beautiful bird, it is really hard to believe that it is an animal that exists in reality.

He feels that in terms of gorgeousness, only the green peacock can match it.

In fact, the colorful macaws are also very beautiful!

However, this golden pheasant may be more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, with a graceful and elegant posture, just like a moving Chinese painting.

Look at the popular science exhibition board introduced next to it.

The red-bellied golden pheasant, also known as the golden pheasant, is a rare bird unique to my country and is a national second-class protected animal. named.

It is the beautiful feathers that make it encounter a lot of hunting. People sell them as ornaments or pluck the feathers to make handicrafts. In the 1960s, the animal husbandry department purchased 6,000-8,000 golden pheasant skins. , the population declined sharply.

Although artificial breeding is more mature now and is a common ornamental bird that can be seen in every zoo, the population in the wild still needs to be protected urgently.

A fun science exhibition card with the title: "Do you know the meaning of beasts in clothing?"

"Beasts with robes and crowns means that people wear clothes and look very good, but in fact their morals are corrupt and they do the same things as beasts."

Liu Wei thought so in his heart and looked down.

In fact, the idiom "a beast with a crown" comes from the clothing of officials in the Ming Dynasty!

At that time, in order to echo the emperor's robes, officials' clothes were decorated with birds and beasts. Civilians had developed brains and sharp thinking, so they wore bird clothes. .

Different levels of officials have different embroidered patterns.

Civil officials embroidered red-crowned cranes in the first grade, red-bellied golden pheasants in the second grade, and green peacocks in the third grade, which shows the high status of the red-bellied golden pheasants.

The first- and second-rank generals are lions, and the third-rank embroidered tigers.

Therefore, "beasts with crowns and crowns" was actually a praised word at the earliest. Animals on official uniforms can show their status and are enviable. Later it gradually became what it is today.

"That's it! It's a long pose."

There is also a sign next to it, introducing the relationship between the golden pheasant and the national bird.

Red-crowned cranes, golden pheasants, green peacocks, crested ibises, and several other birds were all strong candidates for the national bird!

The first time to vote for the national bird, most people voted for the red-crowned crane.

However, when preparing to report to the State Council, some experts suggested that the red-crowned crane has the scientific name of "Japanese crane", which is inappropriate.

Although the red-crowned crane originated in China, the earliest zoologists named the red-crowned crane as a specimen provided by Japan. It was a pity that the Qing government was still in seclusion and closed the country.

The golden pheasant is also very popular, because it is the prototype of the mythical phoenix, and the map of China looks like a big rooster. Enthusiasm and blessings.

The exhibition card finally asked: "If you choose the national bird, which one would you choose?"

Liu Wei was confused for a while, it seems that either is good? It's embarrassing.

After the golden pheasant flew to the tree, it twisted its neck and began to groom its feathers!

When combing the feathers, the shawl spreads out and shakes, and the golden-yellow filamentary crown feathers rise from the appressed state.

Standing on the branch, there is a feeling of loneliness and self-appreciation.

This red-bellied golden pheasant adapts quickly to the new environment, is generous, and can be enjoyed by anyone!

However, most of them are more alert and shy, not very active, hiding under branches, or hiding behind rocks.

In the corner, a red-bellied golden pheasant female, with unremarkable yellow-brown feathers and a very simple appearance, squatted beside a clump of bamboo with her neck shrunk, her back to the tourists, and she looked autistic.

The body is round and chubby, and occasionally looks back and peeks, and it looks very funny.

When Amemiya saw it, she couldn't help laughing, and she was looking forward to the next trip to the zoo.

The environment here is really wonderful, fully showing the charm of animals.

The two watched for a while, and continued to stroll in the golden pheasant forest along the bamboo forest trail.

Turning a corner, I saw a white-bellied golden pheasant, standing on a tree trunk perch, with black and white slender tail feathers hanging down.

The white-bellied golden pheasant is bigger than the red-bellied golden pheasant!

The shawl-shaped shoulder feathers, abdomen and long tail feathers are mainly white in color, and the edges of the feathers have prominent black stripes, like a black and white fan, and like auspicious clouds.

The feathers of the wings are blue, and the chest and back are green with metallic luster.

Compared with the bright colors, looking at the red-bellied golden pheasant with a kind of prosperous and wealthy temperament, the white-bellied golden pheasant looks graceful in color and has a kind of feminine beauty.
