Berau, a common resident bird. Ferocious predatory, it can use its beak to kill large insects, lizards, and mouse birds. The prey caught will be worn on the thorns, like humans hanging meat on the meat hook, so it is called "butcher bird", known as the smallest bird of prey.
Brown-backed Burrow in autumn
Before I didn't like to shoot birds, I didn't know much about "Lao Yan Flying", I always thought that I was talking about industrious swallows, and later I learned the phrase "East Flying Berausi Flying Swallow".
Brown-backed Burrow in winter
Shiver in the warm winter sun
Berau's name has a great origin, according to legend, when King Xuan of Zhou, the sage Yin Jifu listened to the words of the stepmother and accidentally killed the eldest son Birch left by his ex-wife, And Birch's younger brother Bo Feng mourned his brother's misfortune and wrote a sad poem, Yin Jifu listened to it with great regret. One day in the suburbs, I saw a bird I had never seen before, stopping at a mulberry tree and chirping at him, with a mournful cry. Yin Jifu was suddenly moved, thinking that this bird was incarnated by the soul of his son Birch, so he said, "Birch Rahu, if you are my son Birch, please fall on the carriage." As soon as the words fell, the bird really stopped on the carriage to follow him home, and when he got home, the bird stopped at the well and wailed at the house, Yin Jifu took out his bow and arrow and pretended to shoot the bird, but actually aimed at the step room and shot her, and the bird name of The Berau bird came from "Birch Laohu". History is really a little girl, Yin Jifu first killed his son and then killed the stepmother, how can he deserve a "sage" word?!
Brown-backed Berholl catches grasshoppers
In the small southern city where I am located, I can see three kinds of Burao, the size of which is brown-backed Burrow, brown-tailed Burrow, and tiger-striped Burrow.

Tiger striped Burrow is the smallest, and its living space is often suppressed by the first two types of Burrow. In the early days of bird shooting, I encountered scenes of parent birds feeding chicks.
The chick's left foot is necrotic
The parent bird does not abandon and continues to feed
This kind of wire bird without background, now most of the situation will not be filmed, and it will not be sent out when it is photographed. But looking closely at the chick's left foot for some reason has died, the parent bird still does not abandon the feeding, and can't help but feel the cruelty of the laws of nature and the instinct of the parent bird.
Have the opportunity to go to the north to shoot large gray burrows, wedge tail burrows.
