Jimu News, March 14 (reporter Zhou Zhitao correspondent Mire) to record every moment of life and the warm maternal love of the animal world, how magical. Recently, on the balcony of Dongyang, a resident of Chengbao Community in Hongshan District, Wuhan City, there is a group of spotted doves settling down, and careful residents have become "nannies" in addition to surprises, taking care of the family of birds, and using a picture diary to record the story of the warm mother's love of birds.
On February 8, 2021, the twenty-seventh day of the Waxing Moon, it was almost the New Year, Dongyang, a resident of China Merchants Yonghua Mansion, was cleaning, and there was a burst of "cuckoo, cuckoo..." sound outside the room.
Following the prestige, she was surprised to find that a bird had made a nest on her own windowsill, but when was it made? She looked down carefully, the bird's reddish-brown feathers, the collar has a ring of black and white dot necklaces, so beautiful! So, she quickly checked the Internet, and it turned out that this bird was called a bead-necked dove.
On the morning of February 18, Dongyang threw food at the dove. After observing for a long time, she found that there were two spotted doves, but she had never photographed two spotted doves together, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female, and the other birds were all male and female, and these two were very beautiful. From that day on, she found the dove couple taking turns hatching eggs.
The Internet says that it takes eighteen to twenty days for the dove to hatch the eggs before the birds hatch. Therefore, the Dongyang family had to look at the bird's nest on the windowsill every day, and look forward to the birth of the little spotted dove with the couple.
Until one day, the little grandson suddenly cried out: "Grandma hurry!" Come and see! I saw two doves! wow! Finally seeing Mom and Dad together, is it the little spotted dove that is about to come out of the shell? Sure enough, the next day I saw a small spotted dove out of its shell.
On February 19, the furry little life was finally born, taking care of the long-term dove mother hard, the dove father came to change shifts, and when the shift was changed, the dove's parents simultaneously issued a "cuckoo... Cuckoo...", it turns out that they actually have a shift ceremony!
On March 3rd, Dongyang stayed for several hours, and finally filmed the footage of the dove feeding, the mother of the dove opened its mouth, and the two small doves invariably stuck their small mouths into their mother's mouth at the same time, eating with relish.
On the morning of March 10, Dongyang found a small spotted dove out of the nest, walking around the window sill, combing feathers, flapping its wings, she thought that this one must have come out of the shell first, less than half an hour to see, has flown away. After a while, seeing the mother of the spotted dove come back to feed the little spotted dove that could not fly, I don't know if it just flew away and did not come back, what I saw the day before was still feeding, will it go out to forage for food on its own? Dongyang is very worried, it rained in the afternoon, and I didn't see the little spotted dove that flew away, and there was only one small spotted dove in the nest...
The next morning it was raining lightly, and the mother dove guarded the little spotted dove, which could not fly, and fed it, perhaps for the last time. Dongyang carefully observed and found that the feeding on the day was a little different from before, and it seemed to be training the little spotted dove to spread its wings and let it fly. She saw the big spotted dove press the little spotted dove's head down, making it spread its wings... In this way, the winter sun kept for a morning. At noon, it was sunny, and when I finished eating, I went to see it, the nest was empty, and the second small spotted dove also flew away from the nest.
Dongyang introduced, recalling that the first small spotted dove out of the shell was February 19, it is estimated that it is the one that left the nest first, and the one that just left the nest should be the one that came out of the shell on February 20. It takes exactly 20 days from the time of the shell to the time it leaves the nest. It has been 32 days since the spotted dove was found incubating eggs on the windowsill on February 8.
After many waiting, how many times they were worried, they finally flew away, and the Dongyang family was full of emotions. The family said that the spring returned to the earth, the grass long warblers flew, after 32 days and nights of care and waiting, they used their own actions to respect and love small lives, and also called on community residents to enhance their awareness of green environmental protection, work together, maintain together, look at the birds singing, hiss into rhyme, start from the side of the bit.
