On August 21st, the sun was shining, and 11 groups of parent-child families followed the senior bird watching instructor to Haizhu Lake to look for flying feathers in the forest.
In the natural environment, birds are more flexible and interesting than flowers and trees, if you want to know about birds, you must start from bird watching, how should you watch birds?
To do a good job of observation, it is very important to use the telescope correctly, and at the beginning of the activity, the teacher teaches the students the skills of using the telescope. In addition to the telescope, the picture book is also very important, and the teacher is explaining to everyone how to use the bird watching picture book.
Everyone observed as they walked, and along the way saw many common bird species, such as: white-headed quail, red-eared plover, Far Eastern and so on.
The teacher also specially shared a small video with everyone, telling a realistic version of the story of "dove occupying the magpie's nest", which is also a very common phenomenon of "nest parasitism" in nature. A common eight-voiced cuckoo lays its eggs in the nest of the long-tailed leaf warbler and leaves the seam warbler to hatch and raise its offspring. And this cuckoo's young bird will even squeeze the other "biological children" of the "adoptive parents" out of the nest and fall to their deaths, so that the long-tailed leaf warbler can only concentrate on feeding itself. Although the size of the eight-voiced cuckoo is much larger than the long-tailed leaf warbler "Mother", the "Mother" still treats it as her own baby and is carefully fed.
The teacher told everyone that this nest parasitic behavior, on the one hand, ensures the continuation of the population of the parasitic bird species, and on the other hand, inhibits the population number of the parasitic bird species. Everyone was attracted by the story told by the teacher and kept asking questions around the teacher.
During the activity, the children were very serious throughout the whole process, after a morning of observation, everyone also realized that these beautiful elves living in nature need our common protection, if we like them, we only need to observe from a distance, not disturbing is the best protection.
