Yangzi Evening News Network July 5 news (reporter Zhang Lingfa correspondent Wang Wei Fan Ming) on the 5th Jurong Chishan Lake National Wetland Park in a thousand acres of lotus pond a pair of crested ibises (pì tī) are busy hatching bird eggs. Monitors record the scenes where they hatch. I saw that the crested ibis, while constantly pulling wet grass to fill the nest, kept flipping the bird's eggs. Experts say the operation is because wet grass fermentation can generate heat, help the bird eggs hatch, and constantly turning can also ensure that the heat around the eggs is evenly heated.
Crested ibis is a common water bird in wetlands, a national "three haves" protected animal, and the largest type of partridge, with a very similar call to duck. They begin to build floating nests every spring and summer, reinforcing and stepping on them as they build nests, and the nesting behavior continues until all young birds leave the nest. This kind of floating nest can float and sink with the rise and fall of the water level, and is generally not easy to be submerged by water, thus ensuring the safety of young birds. Monitors told reporters that the pair of crested ibises have been looking around for wet grass to nest since March. This is the third time they have spawned this year.
