2020Bird Mood Story>Talking Points(4)(5)(6)

With the help of my teacher, I used the bird-watching telescope to observe birds for the first time, and saw the so-called professional skills. With the help of the telescope, I could see the details of the feathers, eyeballs, and lines on the birds very clear.

I think the strangest phenomenon is that crested goshawk eats brown shrike, and crested goshawk eats mice. I think 70% of people can't stand it when seeing that picture. Crested goshawk is really a powerful killer!

During the bird watching, we saw a crested goshawk eating a mouse, and even a brown shrike! I gained a lot through this bird-watching trip. I not only saw many birds, but also saw the cruelty of nature.

The teacher said that we must be quiet during bird watching. We were fortunate to see the tug of war between tiger bittern and a super long earthworm. The key point was that the war lasted for more than 3 minutes. I hope I can see more different and interesting birds in the future.

After this activity, I learnt a lot about birds and bird watching, for example, how to watch birds when I get to the park, how to get along with birds and the most important multiple of the telescope.

What impressed me most was that a brown shrike eaten alive by crested goshawk. The point is, we watched it carefully with a telescope the last second! I also saw a lot of unseen birds here, and the ecology here It's so rich!

Mr. Shi-Yao Chen told us that many different birds can be seen in Daan Forest Park throughout the year, so we must take good care of the environment so that they can have a clean and comfortable place to live.

If you are really interested in bird watching, you can buy a binocular that can be hung up anytime. If you are more interested, buy a small illustrated handbook.

What impressed me most was that we saw crested goshawk eating rats. I think this bird ecology tour is worth going, because I saw many different types of birds. I have never been able to tell the difference between birds.

Daan Forest Park is suitable for many birds to live in because it has land, lakes, and trees, and this is why we can see so many birds. The teacher also mentioned that bird watching has many benefits, such as making people's eyesight better, and observation power more acute. I think I also gradually like bird watching.

Mr. Yueh-Hui Chen let me know that being a volunteer at the Wild Bird Society of Taipei is hard, and it’s no wonder they can know what kind of bird they are once when they see the bird or hear the bird ’s call. I must have had a lot of interest in bird watching before I could pass the training to be a volunteer.

I think those volunteers are really amazing and laborious, because they have to be familiar with a lot of things, such as environmental routes and various birds, and they often go to help guide and the content is very interesting. Thank you very much!

I saw the natural environment being destroyed by humans, because in the second half of our bird watching, there was a yellow field under our feet, which was full of garbage such as plastic bags and was really terrifying.

The teacher said that there were more than 10,000 teals in Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park, but now there are only about 60 left. This is evidence that the environmental pollution is too serious. If we continue to pollute the environment, there will be no more birds to inhabit. So we should take good care of the environment.

Mr. Yueh-Hui Chen said that one must be interested in bird watching first, and have certain knowledge of bird watching, and one must be devoted to it. Then after more than half a year of training in bird understanding, one can become a formal guide volunteer. Now, he has been a guided volunteer for thirty years. We appreciate him for his efforts in environmental conservation.

The teacher is very familiar with Huajiang Yanya Natural Park. There will be stationing and guided activities in Huajiang every spring, autumn and winter, and this location is by the river, so the environment is colder than other places for the bird-watching people. Workers are also more laborious than workers in other locations in the city.

Mr. Yueh-Hui Chen said that in bird-watching, we should take nothing except photography, and leave nothing but footprints. We don't litter to destroy bird habitat.

Mr. Yueh-Hui Chen said that he joined a bird club because he had a friend of the bird club and went to watch the bird with him almost every day. So many things are a wonderful fate.

I was very surprised to find that there were only a few hundred or even dozens of geese and ducks from the original. The main reason is that the geese and ducks have left because of changes in the environment, sedimentation, and narrowing of the river.

The teacher mentioned that one must be enthusiastic to join the volunteer’s work, which is important. Because if you are not enthusiastic, you may give up after you finishing one or two volunteer training.

Ms. Shu-Chen Chuang introduced the common migratory birds, resident birds, fabulous birds and straggler birds in Taiwan, and taught us why we should protect birds, why we should not import birds from abroad, and abandoned them. The teacher told them by storytelling. We understand how important animal protection is, and we have opened a window to knowledge on the biology courses we will learn later.

The teacher said that there were some birds that threaten the food chain of nature. For example, Egyptian holy birds, which attack or prey on smaller birds, and even worse, the Egyptian holy birds' food habits and great egret, little egret, herons and other birds are similar, so they may crowd out native species.

I heard Ms. Shu-Chen Chuang’s explanation this time, and I realized that the original bird world was so amazing and beautiful. I have heard of someone watching birds before, but I never knew why it was so interesting. Now I know so much owing to the teacher’s explanation.

The teacher introduced that a little egret flying to a farm field. However, a road was planned to be developed. And the development time was delayed. In fact, as long as you carefully observe and look for it, you may be able to see it.

The teacher said that the egret flew to Taiwan and stayed for a few years before leaving. The teacher also shared the alien species that came to Taiwan and the ecological crisis caused to Taiwan. The African sacred ibis changed from less than ten to thousands in Taiwan and took over the land belonging to other birds. I think this course was very interesting, because I knew many birds after listening to it.

The teacher talked about the definition of a bird is that it has a pair of wings, feathers, and two feet. I think the most disgusting point is that the bird will spit out indigestible things. Birds bathe in water and sand.

From these two lessons, I learned that if you raise a bird, you must not discard or release it at will, because it may cause ecological changes, and alien birds also cause many problems.

The teacher said that the bird-watching equipment should include multi-pocket vest, clothes close to nature colors, long-sleeved trousers, a hat, and a telescope. Each item has its function. And this let me know more about the meaning of bird-watching.

I found that we humans have introduced exotic species of birds into the country for the sake of temporary benefits. This will not only affect the entire environmental ecology, reduce the number of native species, but may also suddenly cause a surge in bird quantity. I hope that this project can reduce such things.

The teacher mentioned that she once flied to the outlying islands for bird watching. I can tell that Ms. Shu-Chen Chuang likes bird watching very much, because only people who really like bird watching will go to bird watching elsewhere.
