Rare birds of colored ibis appear in Hangzhou Yuhang North Lake,
This is the first time that traces of colored ibises have been found in the Hangzhou area.
Painted ibises are part of the stork family,
He is a close relative of the crested ibis, a national treasure bird.
Its body is slender, and its feathers are chestnut purple,
The beak of the bird is like a machete,
The color of the feathers changes depending on the angle of the light,
Hence the name "Colored Ibis".
This painted ibis, with egrets and pheasants
Move around in the rice paddies together.
The painted ibises feed mainly on small invertebrates such as aquatic insects, fish and shrimp, crustaceans, mollusks, etc., and are mainly distributed in southern Eurasia, Africa and the Americas. In the Newly Released List of Wild Animals under National Key Protection this year, the level of protection of the painted ibis has been upgraded from the national second level to the national level. In the Red Book of Endangered Animals in China, the painted ibis was once asserted that it was "extinct in China." In recent years, with the gradual improvement of the ecological environment, the once "extinct" painted ibises have gradually reappeared in China.
