What kind of bird is this bird that loves to attack cyclists on Jiuzhou Avenue, and what kind of habits does it have? And why attack people? The reporter consulted with teacher Wang Changda, a bird lover.
Teacher Wang Changda told reporters that this bird is a black capuchin, belongs to the pinnacle capuchin family, in Mianyang is a summer migratory bird, summer to Mianyang breeding, autumn with its breeding cubs to the south.
"It is relatively close to the crow family and has a relatively high IQ. It uses grass and mud to build nests in trees. It is very brave, has a strong sense of territory, and other birds that enter its nest area, it must be driven away, even if it is a larger eagle, kestrel and other birds of prey, into its nest area, it will bravely pounce on it and drive them away. Wang Changda said.
Wang Changda said that the reason why it attacked humans was also related to territorial awareness. "Other birds and animals that enter its territory feel threatened by its nest area and its cubs, so it needs to be protected. But it does not dare to attack people easily, it mainly makes an offensive gesture, scares you, and makes you leave its nest area. ”
According to Teacher Wang Changda, there should be its nest nearby. On June 29, Pu Huangyu, secretary general of the Mianyang Bird Love Association, came to the scene, and after a careful search, finally found the nest of the black capuchin.
"The discovery of the nest also confirms our speculation that it is indeed protecting the nest, and as for why it is particularly inclined to attack cyclists, we speculate that it may be because some cyclists have caused harm to it before, and it has a vendetta." ”
Pu Huangyu said that for this kind of "careful eye" bird, everyone should be generous, don't provoke it, and stay away from its nest area.
"We just stood here for twenty or thirty minutes, and it was mainly to constantly intimidate or drive us away, without causing us substantial harm," Pu Huangyu said. It is in the breeding and feeding period, if we drive or hurt it at this time, there may be a nest of birds will be implicated, so please do not hurt them. If citizens are attacked, stay calm and pass quickly. ”
