Nowadays, environmental protection is getting better and better, many birds and various creatures have come out, which is also because China's environmental ecology has slowly changed, which makes their living range slowly expand, and the living environment has also been upgraded to a level suitable for their living, so now in the land of our country, there are basically all kinds of cute birds everywhere.
These cute birds are also very diverse, but also have their peculiarities, some are very beautiful in color, and some are also because of different living habits.
Presumably, when you were a child, you often took a slingshot to fight birds, right? At that time, we often went out with a slingshot as soon as we had time, and specially ran to the bottom of the tree to fight birds, but also because we often went to fight birds, we would see a lot of birds that we didn't usually know, which also increased our eyesight, although we saw a lot of birds, but we didn't know what their names were.
But I believe you should have seen this small bird, its head has a horizontal yellow or orange crown, it is very good-looking, it is still a small bird, most people see it very much, this bird is "Dai Ju".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Dai Ju introduced</h1>
Hear Dai Ju, don't think it is the name of the chrysanthemum, although there is a chrysanthemum word in its name, but it is not a chrysanthemum, nor is it a human wearing a chrysanthemum, it is also an animal, to be precise, Dai Ju is a bird, Dai Ju is a relatively small bird, the body length is only about 10 cm, the color contrast of Dai Ju is also very good-
Dai Ju also has black side crown stripes on both sides, and around Dai Ju's eyes, it will also appear grayish white, and the color of the feathers on Dai Ju's waist and tail is different, because at its tail and waist, it is covered with yellow-green feathers, and its lower body is white, and there is a little yellow at the top of the feather.
This bird usually lives under the canopy of the taiga forest, usually food is based on insects, especially insect larvae, etc., these are their favorite delicacies, but not only these, sometimes eat spiders and other small invertebrates, it can be said that Dai Ju's food range is very wide, and in winter, when there are few such insects, due to the reduction of food, it will also eat a little plant seeds at this time to maintain survival.
However, Dai Ju's life ability is very short, generally the average survival time is only about two years, because of their small size, so it will also become the predator of many animals, such as snakes, birds of prey, ferrets, etc. are natural enemies that can make Dai Ju die, so it is also one of the keys to affect Dai Ju's survival.
If the cold winter comes, Dai Ju will also migrate, but on the way of migration, for Dai Ju can be described as dangerous, because Dai Ju must always eat on the migration route, otherwise it is easy to be frozen to death because there is no food and lose temperature, and on the way to migration, if it encounters bad weather, it will also make Dai Ju's migration career become dangerous, and it may die under the force of nature at any time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > breeding method</h1>
Dai ju generally begins to enter the breeding period in May and July, when there will be many teams of dai ju chasing and calling in the forest, which is also a way to find a mate, if successful, the mating place is generally carried out on the side branches of the canopy, and will also be accompanied by crazy flapping of the wings, at this time the yellow crown on the top of its head also appears to rise up, and the male will continue to make various bird calls.
If successful mating, it is time to build nests and breed, most of their nests are built on the thin branches and side branches of conifers, because they have many natural enemies, so Dai Chrysanthemum nesting will be very high from the ground, even very secretive, generally nesting from the ground about 5 to 22 meters high, or picked in the pine cones and branches obscured place, so it is generally difficult to find their nests.
Usually after the nest is built the next day or so will start to lay eggs, this bird is still a bird that raises offspring together, so generally after hatching, Dai Ju will take care of the young birds separately, and will go out to feed and feed the offspring.
Generally after more than a month of incubation and feeding of young birds, they can leave the nest to live, but at the beginning, they will follow the daiju group activities and foraging, if there is a daisy bird found a dangerous song, the small young birds will hide, wait until the danger is lifted and then come out again.
Sometimes the weather is cold, these Dai Ju will also be crowded together for warmth, so that it can be a good guarantee of the body temperature of Dai Ju young birds without being frozen to death, although these Dai Ju young birds have been out of the nest, but generally have to wait for a week or so to go out alone to forage for food, in order to live independently, but even if they can live alone, Dai Ju will still form a family to move together, even if it is night, when the rest will also be crowded together to sleep, so this bird is a family social form of birds.
