1, what happened:

The story goes like this: In Nantong Zoo, many people are attracted by such a strange phenomenon. Above the breeding dragon of the oriental stork, a wild oriental stork nests here and makes a home, and watches another oriental stork in the breeding building every day. This wild oriental stork suddenly stopped during the migration, and it should be attracted by the same kind in the park. In Nantong Zoo, there is an oriental stork living area covering an area of 8,400 square meters, which is made of steel mesh. According to the staff of Nantong Zoo, at the end of 65438+February last year, this oriental stork often lingered in the Oriental Stork Garden and refused to leave. After the discovery, the city zoo fed this oriental stork, but after careful investigation, the reason why this oriental stork stayed was not hunger, but was attracted by the female birds in the park, and this oriental stork would interact with another oriental stork in the park, which was the mating behavior of the beak of the oriental stork.

2. What is an oriental stork?

You may not know what an oriental stork is. Oriental stork is a kind of large poultry, which belongs to the first-class protected animals in China. According to incomplete statistics, there are only about 3,000 oriental storks in the world, which are typical endangered animals. In ancient China, many Tang poems recorded that the most famous oriental stork was in the heron pavilion, that is, the mountains covered the day and the sea drained the golden river. The stork in the name of this poem refers to the oriental stork. Oriental storks mainly live in China and Russian, and feed on fish and shrimp. This bird's movements and combat effectiveness are very elegant, and it will take off at the slightest sign of trouble, so it can only be seen from a distance and cannot be approached.

3, the practice of the zoo:

At present, the zoo has decided to help the bird lovers and prepare to release the oriental stork in the park. I personally support this approach. Because wild animals have to return to nature to live in a free and healthy zoo, female oriental storks have not been released yet for health reasons, because releasing them into the wild environment is a great challenge to the animals in the zoo. At present, zoo personnel are actively planning this behavior and will implement the release action when the time is ripe.
