The beautiful bird with a beautiful eyebrow, like a dreamy name, is soaked with poetry. In real life, it needs to eat and drink. There are many insects around it for cow shit. People often see it jumping around beside the cow dung.

Maker of bird dung and rain

In the migration army of birds, there is a bird of "bombing missiles" that cause bird manure to "bombing missiles", and they are silk birds. There are two very obvious signs of their arrival. First, if this season, you parked the car under the camphor tree or the female virgin tree.

"Oral actor"

Silk Birds are widely distributed in China and are a strong bird. They can adapt to various habitats, and their food properties are more complicated, and they do not refuse. In winter, in addition to various mature fruits, even the sausage and bacon that people are drying may also become their goals.

Insects are eaten, and occasional plant fruits and seeds such as mulberry and banyan fruits are eaten. Floods, beetles, locusts and other agricultural and forestry pests are welcomed by farmers.

Birds are still "oral actors". They can not only communicate in their own language, but also learn the calls of other birds.

After breaking the shell of the chicks, the silk -ray bird couple should be raised together. The brilliant bird of the silk birds frequently enter and go to the nest daily, capture worms, and feed the chicks until it leaves its nest. In this process, the pro -birds worked very hard, and they were scrambled in, prey, and feeded their duties.
