Since the beginning of summer, a beautiful little bird, the Southeast Asian blue-throated bee tiger, has flown to the Minjiang River Valley in Xiexi Village, Yanping District, Nanping City, Northern Fujian Province, to build a nest and start the annual "honeymoon" trip.
Blue-throated bee tigers belong to the bee tiger family, with bright plumage and great ornamental value.
In recent years, with the improvement of the ecological environment, the blue-throated bee tiger will come to the valley and mountain forest of Xiexi Village, Luxia Town, Yanping District, Nanping City, Fujian Province, every early summer to inhabit and breed offspring.
Located at the confluence of Jianxi and Xixi in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, Xiexi Village belongs to the central subtropical marine monsoon climate, with dense forests on the mountain and abundant food in the river valley, which is an ideal breeding habitat for birds.
At dusk, members of the Blue-throated Bee Tiger family constantly weave across the riverside beach to feed. Blue-throated bee tigers forage and frolic up and down very quickly, and the chestnut head, blue throat, black eye lines and blue-green embellished tail wings shine in the sun, which is particularly beautiful.
Since the beginning of the summer, dozens of blue-throated bee tigers have migrated to Xiexi Village to build nests in the forests of the Minjiang River Valley, and after the nest is built, they begin to breed on a courtship.
Soon after the baby bird is born, it begins to leave the nest to learn flight and predation skills. In late autumn, blue-throated bee tigers return to Southeast Asia with their families for the winter.
