Colorful birds appear in Yingjiang, Yunnan. What are the living habits of this animal?

Crested ibis is a national second-class protected wild animal. Last year, it was photographed again by photographers in a wetland on the outskirts of Yingjiang County, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. This is the second time that colored ibis has been recorded in Yingjiang in recent years. In the Red Book of Endangered Animals in China, colorful birds have always been considered extinct in China. However, in recent years, with the gradual improvement of the ecological environment, once extinct colorful birds have slowly reappeared in China. Colorful birds belong to birds, generally 48? 66 cm, wingspan 80? 95 cm, weight 480? 580 grams. The head is covered with feathers except the exposed face, and most of the feathers on the body are bronze chestnut. This kind of call is a purring with a nasal sound, which makes a baa in the nest area.

The life habit of colorful birds is that they mainly inhabit warm rivers, lakes and swamps, and sometimes they can be found in the fields. They usually live in groups and gather with other ostriches and herons. Colored birds mainly feed on small invertebrates, such as aquatic insects, insect larvae, shrimp, crustaceans and mollusks. The breeding period of colored birds is not fixed, and it is generally affected by some factors such as different regions and climate. They usually nest and lay eggs in groups in spring, and each nest lays about 3 to 5 eggs. They are now distributed in southern Europe, Asia, Africa and Central America, and also have their habitats in China, namely, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.

They fly with their heads straight forward and their feet sticking out behind their tail feathers, mainly relying on their wings to encourage them to fly better. They also like to do some gliding movements during the flight, and they will array like geese during the flight. They are also like geese, because they fly far away. When foraging, colorful birds walk slowly by the water, and at the same time insert their long mouths into mud or shallow water to find food, and sometimes chase food. They usually feed during the day and return to their habitat to rest at night.
