Why do egrets have two braids on their heads?

Because egrets grow two very beautiful and striking feathers on their heads during the breeding period, which look like braids, commonly known as "breeding feathers" and "braided feathers"

There will be withered feathers on the chest and back of the Chinese egret, which are called "marriage feathers". The exposed parts of the eyes and beak changed from yellow-green to pale pink, and the eyes were red before mating.

In estrus, the great egret's face will turn bright blue-green, and its legs will turn red. In estrus, the wings are constantly spreading, changing different postures, the wings are stretched, white feathers are clearly visible, and the roots are numerous, which is very beautiful. When courting and mating, the male and female egrets dance up and down, dance left and right, chase each other, and love comes with affection.

The egret photographed at this time is the most beautiful, gentle and virtuous, amazingly beautiful and the easiest to shine. For photographers, this time must not be missed.
