How did Wuqiang, Hebei Province discover Sinian crows?

Recently, a pair of aurora finches called "giant pandas among birds" settled in Tianpinggou, Wuqiang County, Hebei Province, and were photographed by photographers. Sinian finch has been listed in the international bird red book, which is an endangered bird in the world. At present, it is only distributed in a few areas of China.

Sinian finch is a rare bird endemic to China. Its name is China, and ancient India called China "Sinian". The first specimen of this bird was collected and found in Nanjing, China, so it was named Sinian crow. Because the living space of this bird is limited to reeds, and the number is too rare, China people call it "the giant panda among birds".
