Flower tail hazelnuts are known as "flying dragons", they not only look like flying dragons - the neck bones are long and curved, like the keel, the claws are strange and unique, the claws have scales, resembling dragon claws, and the ability is also worthy of this "Ya number" - they are the flying champions who travel freely in the forest.

Flower-tailed hazelnuts are distributed in Daxing'anling, Xiaoxing'anling, Changbaishan and other places, and it is rumored that there are also flower-tailed hazelnuts in the far north of Xinjiang, but in China, the flower-tailed hazelnuts are mainly distributed in Daxing'anling. The hazelnuts are naturally forested, and the easiest thing people encounter is when they are collecting food on the ground, and other times they are always in various dense places in the forest, such as dense shrubs, dense pine branches, and even messy firewood. Looking for the hazel chicken in the forest is a painful thing, staying in the forest for a long time, the cold will be frightened by the flower tail hazel chicken that is only found close at hand, whenever this time, the flower tail hazel chicken is very calm, slowly walking away.

I'm a bird shooter who loves the forest, so when I first saw this petite pheasant, I was fascinated by it, the simple black, white, gray, brown and red feathers of the flower-tailed hazelnut, fancy combination, completely coniferous and coniferous mixed forest feeling, it can stand in the forest and blend with the forest. In Daxing'anling, looking at the countless trees in front of me, smelling the aroma of the pine forest, and the time when I was alone with the hazelnut chicken was the moment I was closest to the forest.
In the forest farm of Hulunbuir Yakeshiur Banner Han in Inner Mongolia, the density of flower-tailed hazelnuts is actually quite high, and I often see flower-tailed hazelnuts flying lightning in the lower layer of the forest, and then disappearing into the dense forest. Flower-tailed hazelnuts also often jump up and down on the branches of the bushes to eat various berries, no matter how small the branches are. Compared with the flower-tailed hazel chicken, the other pheasants in Daxing'anling are much more clumsy. (Source Forest and Humanity Magazine Author Liu Lu Editor Wang Qiang)
