The citizens of Kunming picked up the strange bird whose mouth opened like a poisonous snake's mouth, and it turned out to be a nighthawk

At about 14:00 the day before, at the entrance of the elevator of the South Hall of Zhengyifang on Zhengyi Road, a citizen found a strange bird - 25 centimeters long, gray-black feathers, wings open 35 centimeters, and the tip of the mouth was 3 centimeters long. If the mouth is open, it is very scary, larger than the mouth of a child, and a bit like the mouth of a poisonous snake. It could only fly more than a meter high, and it was estimated to be injured, but it could not see where it was hurt.

Witness Mr. Tang said that when two women in their 30s saw the strange bird, they walked lightly to the bird, caught it, and went to the nearby flower and bird market to buy bird cages and bird food, and also spent 10 yuan to buy beef. But I don't know if the strange bird was injured or frightened, and did not eat for 4 hours. The two women, worried that the strange bird might be a state-protected animal and would starve to death if it did not eat, called the 110 police. Subsequently, the forest public security police rushed to the scene, but they did not know the strange bird, so they had to send it to the Yunnan Wildlife Shelter and Rescue Center for treatment and identification.

According to the staff of the Yunnan Wildlife Shelter and Rescue Center, the strange bird is called nighthawk, it is estimated that it did not eat after being frightened, and after veterinary examination, its physical condition is very healthy, and it will be released after only two or three days of observation.
