Wen/Farmer is also crazy
In the countryside there are all kinds of small birds, some of which are liked by farmers, such as swallows, and some of which are hated by farmers, such as sparrows and crows, and in the past even owls were birds that farmers did not like, because in the folk this bird was also called "mourning bird". In addition, although the magpie used to be a "bird of annunciation", now farmers hate it, and this bird now often plagues farmers' crops. For example, after corn, peanuts, and soybeans are sown, they will come to the field to steal these seeds. But today the farmer wants to introduce to you is another kind of bird, which looks very similar to the starling, and some people also mistake it for the starling. In fact, it is not a mynah, but it looks very similar, this bird likes to fall on the back of an ox, the courage is also relatively large, it will remember revenge, and the sense of revenge is stronger, do you know?
When I was a child, there were more cattle in the countryside, and children had to go to herd cattle every day after school. For rural children after the 70s and 80s, most of them should have the experience of herding cattle. Usually, after the cow is taken outside, the children will play by themselves, and let the cow graze freely. At this time, a small black bird usually flies over and then stays on the cow's body. If you look closely, you will find that this bird mainly eats some small bugs on the back of the cow, so the cow feels that there are birds on the body, they will not be disgusted, and even happy that the birds eat bugs on them. And this bird is called "Iron Swallow" in our local area, and its scientific name is Black Capuchin.
Don't look at this bird is very small, but it has a fight with eight, its sound is also relatively good, and it will also imitate the calls of other birds, so some places also call it "wild myna". However, when the adults were young, they told us not to provoke this bird, they will remember revenge, and the sense of revenge is still relatively strong. At that time, children liked to dig bird nests, and once a little friend found a black capuchin bird, and at that time he took what the adults said as the wind in his ears, so he went up to pick up bird eggs. However, at this time, a black capuchin flew back to see it. Immediately launched an attack on this little friend, frightened and accidentally threw the bird eggs in the bird's nest on the ground, and the natural bird eggs were broken.
Seeing its own bird egg shattered on the ground, the black capuchin became even more frantic, constantly attacking this little friend with its mouth and wings. What surprises us even more is that since then, this bird has often been guarding the village entrance, sometimes seeing children passing by, whether it is a lot of people who destroy its nest, as long as it is a child, it will often be attacked by him, in those years, many children in the village have been pecked, it is strange that the black capuchin only attacks children, and adults and children pass by together, it is only pecking children. Watching the news a few days ago, there was an old man in Shandong who was bullied by black capuchins for three consecutive years, which made this old man also annoyed.
In fact, like swallows, black capuchins are also a beneficial bird, they mainly feed on locusts, goldflowers, ladybirds, cicadas, Tensu moth larvae, bugs and other membranous wing, elytra and lepidopteran insects, and sometimes stay on the backs of domestic animals to feed. This bird also likes to chirp at dawn, and its sound is also relatively good, and some villagers also call it "Li Chicken". Is there still this bird in your hometown?
