#Wonderful Animals #Man is not visible, and the sea is incomparable. But you know what? Animals are also inconspicuous. Some animals look small and cute, but what they do makes people's scalp tingles when they look at them.
The other day, I went home on vacation to accompany my daughter to the college entrance examination. One evening my husband and I, as usual, were walking on a small road in the countryside. Suddenly, the gentleman pointed to the high high voltage wire and said to me, Look, Butcher Bird. What? And birds called this name? I looked up, and I didn't see anything special about this bird, so why did it have such a ferocious name?
My husband told me that this bird likes to hang its prey on the branches of the tree. I thought that "butcher bird" was just the name of this bird in my hometown, but I didn't expect it to be really not.
After I came back, I deliberately went to Baidu, and it turned out that this bird called Berau, after hunting, would hunt small animals through thorns, thin branches and even barbs of barbed wire, and then tear it with its mouth. Moreover, they do not have a good memory, often after catching insects, frogs, etc. through the branches without long leaves, but forget to tear them to eat (or maybe they can't finish eating it), so after the wind and sun, these small animals become dry corpses.
In this way, when branches and green leaves grow on the treetops, it becomes a very strange phenomenon: on a branch are dressed a few dry and shriveled corpses such as insects, frogs or lizards, while the branches grow luxuriant branches and green leaves.
This "prank" practice does look cruel and strange: for those who know it, this kind of "show the corpse to the public" is indeed too cruel; For those who don't know it, the branches of the trees are obviously branched and green leaves, and how do the corpses of small animals penetrate? Even some superstitious people who do not know the truth say that it is the work of some ghosts who died young.
It is precisely because of this habit of exposing prey to corpses that the originally cute-looking Berau bird has gained the notoriety of "butcher bird".
