Birds are the beautiful spirits of nature, helping humans control insect pests and rat infestations, and are man's best friend. With the continuous expansion of human development space, the number of birds in nature has decreased dramatically. In order to protect birds, bird protection organizations have called on countries to select their national birds, and more than 120 countries and regions have identified their national birds.
