In ancient times, there were jingwei reclamation, unswerving, and now there are small blackbirds, persevering for revenge!
Recently, Uncle Li of Liaocheng, Shandong Province, felt a heavy "love", no matter who he walked with, there was always a small blackbird pecking at his head steadily and fiercely, and then quickly left the scene, while the people who were traveling with him were unscathed, which made people stunned.
This strange incident attracted the attention of reporters, according to the interview report, the little blackbird is the "only love" Uncle Li's head, allowing the sun to rain and rain, unremittingly pecking at him for three years.
Uncle Li recalled, "I was nagged twenty or thirty times the year before, and I was nagged twenty or thirty times last year. It rides on your brain melon, and all of a sudden, it will fly..." Uncle Li, who said this, showed a thick and shy smile, looking accustomed to the pet of the little blackbird.
And Uncle Li has long since lost what kind of encounter he had with the little blackbird three years ago, and how he could make the little blackbird be so "dead hearted" to him. The villagers who were watching found the truth, "Uncle Li is handsome!" Blackbird has a crush on him!"" It's a beautiful man!"
Is this blackbird only aimed at men?
At first, she thought she was wearing white clothes, and the next day she changed a flower dress, and the little blackbird still swooped down to her head, pulled the and ran, and the hit rate was extremely high, almost a hundred shots!
According to the reporter's follow-up interview, in just 2 hours, this little blackbird attacked Ms. Chen 3 times! As with Uncle Li's encounter, even if he goes out with his family, this bird only looks at Ms. Chen, and has a very good memory, wearing hats, umbrellas and other disguises are ineffective. What makes Ms. Chen even more angry is that every time she finishes pulling on her, she will twitter as if to show off her success.

The black capuchin chirp is noisy and rough, like a continuous chiben-chaben, which echoes each other, especially at dawn in the morning, so the villagers give it the nickname "Li Chicken".
Black capuchin can fly in the air to prey on flying insects, similar to the agile gliding and churning of the house swallow in the air, commonly known as the "black fishtail swallow" in the south. The diet is mainly insects, such as dragonflies, locusts, dragonflies, wasps, goldenrods, scoops, cicadas, Amass moth larvae, bugs and insects such as membrane-winged, elytra and lepidopterans.
In addition, black capuchin nest protection is particularly strong, especially the female bird "love revenge", when other birds (even birds of prey eagles) into its territory or other animals (such as snakes, squirrels and humans) pose a threat to its nest or young birds, it will attack. Therefore, Uncle Li and Ms. Chen, who were chased by the black capuchin above, should have inadvertently "offended" them, or accidentally intruded into their territory, so they attracted the black capuchin to "take revenge".
It is worth noting that the black capuchin is a national "three haves" (beneficial, important economic or scientific research value) protected animals, and is also included in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2012 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - low risk (LC), even if it "provokes trouble" to you, it can not hurt them! Generally speaking, as long as they pass by quickly, they will not attack, at most they will warn with a chirp, so they do not need to be too nervous.
