It is said that the ancestors of birds are dinosaurs, this topic we need not say, today's birds on the earth is indeed an important phyla, most of the birds are flying, a small number of birds that can not fly also have their own way of survival, such as ostriches are tall, strong, and penguins are a small swimmer. If a bird can neither fly, nor run, nor swim, it is too difficult for it to survive.
In New Zealand, there is a bird that is destined to become extinct, the owl. It's the dumbest bird, and if you're going to put it nicely, it's too cute. The parrot is a prehistoric creature, scientists do not know where its ancestors came from, only know that the isolated island of New Zealand, born with this kind of stupid bird, before the arrival of the colonists, the living environment of the owl parrot is not bad, after all, New Zealand does not have any large predators.
The parrot may have been lazy for too long, this bird weighs 8 pounds, although it has wings, but its ability to fly has deteriorated, and it can only find fruits and young leaves to eat on the ground and in trees. Because they live a long and indisputable life, the owl parrot does not even have the vigilance to guard against other animals, and like the stupid roe deer in the northeast, it is strange to see people. If there is danger, the owl parrot does not run, and directly chooses to stay still, which is really stupid.
The parrot is nearly 100 years old and is considered the life star of birds. But it has never had the chance to learn to fly in this life. This stupid bird even thought it could fly, jumping from a high altitude, and many parrots finished playing like this.
Today, there are only more than a hundred owl parrots on the island of New Zealand, and although the official protection of it has reached the highest level, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the parrot becomes extinct in the wild. What do you think?
