Scientific name: Calypte Anna
English name: Anna's Humming Bird
Chinese name: Ann's Hummingbird, Vermilion Hummingbird
Because of the "switching" of its head and neck feathers, the Ann's hummingbird is called the reproduction of the "nine-headed bird" recorded in ancient Chinese books by netizens. As an entertaining web article, there is nothing wrong with this in itself.
However, if it is popularized and publicized as science and culture, it will mislead netizens and even produce many social and cultural associations, which should not be done. These online articles say that this "nine-headed bird" appeared in Shennongjia, what the "scientific name" was called, and it was photographed by photography enthusiasts for more than two months.
First of all, these people have no idea what a "scientific name", that is, a "science name", is, and think that it is just a random one. It is not known that each creature can only have a unique scientific name, and it is named in Latin; whether it is a Chinese, English, French, Spanish or any other script, it is not called a scientific name.
If curiosity hunting is regarded as fashion and "science", this kind of atmosphere will only make Chinese pursue the strange and stay away from science.
The Hummingbird is a hummingbird native to the east coast of Central and South America. Even if it appears in China, it will only be introduced, and it has nothing to do with the "nine-headed bird", Shennongjia, and Hubei people.
