Chapter 98 Bowerbirds Attract Female Bowerbirds
Soon, they came to a somewhat wide area. In this area, Lin Xuan and the audience in the live broadcast room found a nest on the ground.

And about [-] centimeters away from the main entrance of the nest, there are actually a lot of fruits and a lot of blue bottle caps.

(???)

(Anchor, what's the situation?)

(Why are there so many fruits on the ground, all of which are red? There are even a lot of blue bottle caps?)

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room felt strange.

This is a very magnificent and beautiful bird's nest.

"Actually, this should be built by the bird just now."

(The bird just built it?)
(The fruit on the ground is exactly the same as the fruit in the bird's beak just now. Could it be that it really put it?)
(But what is it doing here? There are so many fruits, it is a bird, and if it wants to eat it, it will take a year, right?)
(These fruits, put here like this, won't last long.)
Confused, the audience in the live broadcast room continued to be confused.

Also, they don't understand why this bird builds its own nest on the ground.

You know, most birds build their nests in trees.

Few birds will choose to build on the ground, one is too dangerous.

After all, in the jungle, there are not only poisonous snakes, but also some beasts, and even some bugs in the wild.

"Everyone is very curious, why does this kind of bird build a nest on the ground?"

"Actually, the reason why they do this is to attract female birds."

(Attract female birds?)

"Let me tell you the name of this bird first. It's called a bower bird."

Bowerbirds are stocky, with strong claws and a thick beak, and are somewhere between starlings and jays.

The birds of this family have bright body feathers and dioecious males and females.

There are nine species whose body feathers are dominated by protective colors such as brown, gray or green.

The males of the remaining species are bright yellow, red, and blue, with yellow or orange crests.

Females are dull brown, gray, or green with a horizontal stripe on the belly.

Adult birds of this family are 21-38 cm long and weigh 70-230 grams.Generally, the male bird is larger than the female bird, but the golden pavilion bird and the three Huibo bird birds are slightly smaller.

"The bird we saw just now is the male bowerbird."

"They build this nest to attract females and then mate."

"But do you think that this kind of nest is its exclusive nest? No."

"After mating, the female bird will still build a small nest by itself, lay eggs and brood there."

"The male bird, not only will not participate in the raising of offspring, but will continue to use this beautiful building to attract other female bowerbirds."

(I'll go, I've learned a lot!)
(Isn't this the Neptune among birds?)
(Play with others, wait until it gets pregnant, then it moves on to the next one.)
(This is too true. If you want to attract females, you must first have a beautiful house.)
(Haha, don't think about it, at least this bower bird can cover wherever it wants.)
"Actually, bowerbirds, when attracting female birds, not only let them look at the house, but even use their own singing to attract each other."

"In addition, in terms of appearance, you have to pass the test."

(Damn, isn't this somewhat similar to us humans?)

"Okay, everyone, there is a female bower bird coming."

While Lin Xuan was talking to the netizens in the live broadcast room, suddenly a bird with bright red and light yellow on its body flew over.

And the male bower bird, seeing a female bower bird approaching, began to cry, and even flapped his wings in an attempt to attract the female bower bird.

After jumping for a while, it cautiously came to the female bower bird, and rubbed its head against the female bower bird's chin.

Just after it finished these, suddenly, another bower bird flew over.

Its feathers are much brighter than those of this male bowerbird.

It holds a blueberry in its mouth and sings on the branch.

(No, why is this a bower bird again?)
(Could it be that you want to compete with this bower bird for a female bower bird?)
(Mao Niao: My mind is jumping!)
(However, I have to say that the bowerbird that appeared last is much more beautiful than the male bowerbird just now.)
Under the discussion of the audience, the bower bird that appeared last suddenly spread its wings and let it fly to the branch beside it.

Then the female bowerbird, when she saw the male bowerbird, also flew to the tree where he was.

Then a male and a female bowerbird flew away from here.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was also very surprised. Unexpectedly, after working hard for a long time, the female bower bird was taken away by the sudden appearance of a love rival.

(This male bower bird is so pitiful. He worked hard for a long time, but was snatched away.)
(Yeah, it's really pitiful, too miserable, but I really want to laugh, haha.)
(In particular, the male bowerbird, when he saw the female bowerbird flying away with the male bowerbird, had a bewildered expression on his face, and I, who was drinking water, suddenly sprayed.)
(Sprayed? Where was it sprayed? Let me be healthy.)
"In fact, such things often happen among bowerbirds."

"Everyone heard me just now, bowerbirds like bright colors very much."

"And the bower bird that appeared last has a brighter color than this bower bird, so the female bower bird will leave with it."

"The reason why it is so confused is that it probably didn't expect that when I was courting, there would be a bower bird. I showed off for a long time, but let others snatch the female bower bird away."

"But for it, this matter will pass soon, and it will continue to attract other female bowerbirds."

(Haha, I hope this bower bird will not encounter such a thing again, no, it’s so funny.)
To be honest, the audience really felt that this bower bird was a little pitiful.

After all, after wasting so much energy for a long time, I got nothing in the end.

Even being fed dog food by other birds.

It's like, a person is chasing a girl, and when he is confessing his love to the girl, the girl's boyfriend suddenly comes and takes the girl away. This kind of scene, don't mention how embarrassing it is.

It's just that birds are different from people. People may die, but birds will not.

Lin Xuan stayed here for a while, then left, and continued to set off into the deep forest.

"In fact, among birds, there are also some monogamous ones."

(I know this, it is a mandarin duck!)
(There is a saying: only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.)
