Sunlight, air, moisture, and food are the basic conditions for the survival of all animals. With these basic conditions, corresponding living space is also needed, because each animal has its own way of living and space. Human beings are advanced animals among animals. Only humans have mastered thinking ability and creativity and become the overlord of the earth. The subject of human survival is too big. This article only discusses the survival of animals and birds.
In ancient times, there were far more animals than humans on Earth. Because humans have acquired the ability to think during the course of evolution, they have subsequently created offensive weapons. In terms of size, humans are weaker than many animals, and in terms of ferocity, humans are not as good as many animals. However, humans have the thinking ability, organizational ability, and creativity that other animals do not have. Therefore, humans use clever strategies to create lethal weapons and organize forces to annihilate animals one by one. Now, the animals on the earth have been almost wiped out. In turn, humans have to provide special protection to animals to prevent all animals on the earth from becoming extinct. There is still a need for species balance between humans and animals.
Since ancient times, humans and birds have had a very close relationship. People have known for a long time that birds are humans' friends. When crops are infested with insect pests, birds will help people eat the insects. Birds have given people a lot of inspiration. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is said that the bird that goes out early to eat the worms has more opportunities than the later ones. This sentence generally refers to the need to be diligent and diligent in life.
Little swallows, wearing floral clothes, come here every spring... This song has been sung by one generation after another, and it talks about the harmonious relationship between people and swallows. In the past, if there were swallows nesting under the roof of that family, it was regarded as a symbol of blessing and luck. There is an ancient poem, "In the old days, the swallows in front of the Wang Xietang Hall, flew into ordinary people's homes ", which refers to the swallows under the eaves of rich people. It is a blessing to fly into ordinary people's homes. Swallows are beneficial birds , and people still have high hopes for seeing swallows. Especially in the north, swallows fly to the south to escape the cold winter. The swallows are flying back, which means that the cold winter is over and spring is here.
There are more than 9,200 species of birds, and there are more than 1,400 species in China. Birds have had a very close relationship with humans since the beginning of time. In the long-term practice process, humans have realized that there are many things that humans cannot do in terms of maintaining ecological balance and protecting plants. Plants are inevitably susceptible to insect pests, and most birds are expert insect eaters. For example, magpie can eat 15,000 bugs in a year. Human beings have a high regard for magpies and regard them as the embodiment of good luck and good luck. As long as they hear the sound of magpies, it may mean that something good will happen.
Birds are the ancestors of human air transportation and communication tools. As early as the Han Dynasty more than 2,500 years ago, Han Emperor Liu Bang was besieged by Overlord of Chu Xiang Yu, and he used flying pigeons to send messages to attract reinforcements. It can be seen that humans have mastered the habits of birds very early and domesticated them for use as communication tools. Human beings are envious of birds flying freely in the blue sky, so they invented airplanes in the shape of birds and became the fastest means of transportation in modern times.
Humans have domesticated birds for a long time. As early as more than 4,000 years ago, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in our food chain were still wild animals. People captured these birds during hunting, and their delicious taste after cooking was endless. So, Humans began to domesticate these birds. Nowadays, chickens, ducks and geese provide human beings with nutritional value such as meat and eggs, and have become indispensable ingredients on our tables.
It is said that the sky is high and birds can fly. In people's minds, birds should be the freest ones. Little did they know that where there are human footprints, the freedom of birds is relative. Once captured by humans, the consequences will be tragic. Birds have always been a delicacy on the human table, and we try every possible means to capture them. From the bows and arrows in the cold weapon age, to the hidden traps in the hunter's forest, to the dragnets in the rice fields, it is difficult for birds to escape the fate of being put on the dinner table.
There is a very interesting phenomenon. Humans have tamed many large wild animals, such as elephants, lions, tigers, etc. However, some birds are difficult to tame.For example, swallows, magpies, cuckoos, thrush, etc. that people like are always difficult to domesticate. Even if they are caught and locked in a cage, no matter how long they are kept in a cage, no matter how many delicious food they are given, no matter how carefully humans take care of them, they will open. The cage door flew away immediately. Well, wildness is hard to change, they have their own unique way of life, and no amount of delicious food can keep them away. However, the vast majority of birds will still be tempted by delicious food. At Guangzhou Chimelong Bird Paradise, many birds have become dependent on humans.
Guangzhou Chimelong Bird Paradise is a large theme park covering an area of more than 4,000 acres. Because it has a large area of wetland and is located on the outskirts of Guangzhou's downtown area, it is a typical urban suburban wetland park. It is also the largest wetland park in the country for bird watching, science popularization, and novelty hunting. This is a real place to watch birds, with more than 300 species of birds from all over the world and more than 10,000 birds in total. Bird viewing areas such as Crane Bay, Swan Bay, Wonderland of Birds, and Birds' Songs make people linger here.
Chimelong Bird Paradise There are many birds, many of which are rare species. Cute parrots, beautiful swans, the national treasure crested ibis, the red-crowned crane symbolizing longevity, the rare golden pheasant, the precious and rare South American red ibis, etc. make people reluctant to leave. Crowned cranes, white-headed cranes , white cranes , gray cranes dance like cranes, making people feel like they are in a fairyland. heron , egret , oriental white stork , flamingo are free and easy, elegant and beautiful, and the scene is extremely spectacular as they come forward in a mighty way. The park has the largest parrot display area in Asia. I was carefully observing and photographing in front of a group of parrots, and suddenly a well-spoken greeting rang out: Hello! I looked around to see who was talking. Wasn't it greeting me? There was no one around except the sailor. Suddenly the word parrot came to mind, and the two of us laughed at each other.
The most popular ones are the Birds Flying Song in the morning and afternoon. Not to mention that the seats are packed, there is no place to stand if you arrive late. During the half-hour performance, there were dozens of birds of one kind and dozens of species of birds flying. The scene was shocking and spectacular! I observed carefully during the shooting break that each bird can only eat the food spilled by the staff after flying around the island. Why don't these birds fly away? A closer look reveals a mystery. There are more than 10,000 birds here, which have been tempted by the delicious food and find it difficult to find food without leaving. They can get their favorite food by following the instructions. Reproducing their offspring here and obtaining food rations from flying performances every day is their way of survival.
