The keeper smiled and said, "well, parrots eat pumpkins, but this is not just for eating. You can observe it carefully!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the children leaned close to the railing, stood on tiptoe and observed more carefully.

Wang Haoran saw that the parrot seemed to take out a black thing from the pumpkin?

It looks like a melon seed!

He chewed hard with his beak for a long time, peeled the shell and ate the melon seeds inside. After eating the "chirp", he shouted twice, jumped back to the pumpkin and took a melon seed out of it. He looked very happy.

On the table of the food rack, there was water besides pumpkins, and more than a dozen scattered melon seed skins were scattered around. It was not very impressive. He didn''t notice it just now.

"There are melon seeds in the pumpkin. The parrot is eating melon seeds!" Wang Haoran was surprised.

"Really!"

"Parrots can peel melon seeds!"

Other children also discovered the secret.

"That''s right!" The breeder said, "this is a kind of food Fengrong. Do any students know what Fengrong is?"

The children looked confused and shook their heads to show that they didn''t know, but Zheng Yan, the study committee member, raised her hand.

When she came to the zoo, she listened carefully. At this time, she said confidently, "Fengrong is to make animals happier and more comfortable!"

Yang Sibo wondered, "why does the parrot become happy when there are melon seeds in the pumpkin? Isn''t it all food? "

Wang Haoran: "look how hard they eat melon seeds. I peel them off. Is the parrot happier?"

"Er..." although Zheng Yan thought it was wrong, she couldn''t explain it.

The breeder explained, "what this female classmate said just now is right. Fengrong actually means to make animals happier.

Why do parrots become happy when melon seeds are hidden in pumpkins?

First of all, this can give animals a sense of freshness. Compared with directly feeding them melon seeds, today we dig a hole in the pumpkin and hide the melon seeds, which is equivalent to the rice your mother usually makes, and then make a boiled egg alone. Today we combined to make an egg fried rice!

Usually the meat is fried. Today I made a braised meat! Will you be happy, too? "

"Oh ~" the children suddenly realized that the breeder took their life experience as an example and understood it at once.

"Happy!"

A little fat man said excitedly, "I like braised meat best!"

The keeper said, "although the parrot eats pumpkin, the pumpkin is not only food, but also a toy.

You see, parrots can''t easily get melon seeds. They can either stand on the pumpkin and the pumpkin will shake like a small ball, or stand on tiptoe on the platform, and then put their heads into the hole and into the pumpkin to get melon seeds.

In this process, parrots exercise their foraging ability, balance ability and head, neck and leg muscles.

Animals in the wild need to spend a lot of time looking for food. In the process of foraging, their abilities have been trained.

Our food abundance design is to respect the wild habits of animals, so that they can feel fun and challenge in the process of obtaining food.

Let''s think about it. If every day''s homework is equal to 1 + 1, and you only take this test during the exam, the score is 100 every time. Your parents cook the same meal for you when you go home, will you feel very bored? "

Children, think about it, it''s true!

What''s the meaning of doing one plus one every day, even if you can get 100 points every time.

"Chirp!"

Several green parrots kept barking and jumping around. After a companion got melon seeds and flew to the side to start eating, the next one immediately crowded over.

Facing this pumpkin feeder, I was very excited.

The keeper said, "although it''s troublesome to bite off the melon seed shell, after some efforts, the food will taste better. Look how delicious they eat.

The intelligence of birds is very developed, especially some parrots and birds of crow family, which can even solve some very complex problems.

For these smart animals, one of our keepers'' jobs is to often change the types of food, provide different feeding methods, and increase the way and difficulty of feeding. "

Children will feel different when they see these Parrots Eating.

Through the breeder''s introduction to the pumpkin feeder, empathy germinated vaguely.

It turned out that it was intuitively believed that the demand of animals was to eat and drink enough. Parrots would be happier if they peeled a melon seed shell.

Now I will put myself in the position of animals and think about what animals like?

To understand the habits of animals, we can know what they need, like and what people think is good but not good for animals.

It is disrespectful and arrogant to think how to be good for animals without understanding.

"Go, go, go on!" The teacher urged in front of the team.

If these children don''t hurry, they can enjoy watching a place for more than ten or twenty minutes, and they can''t finish visiting a bird house at lunch.

Wang Haoran looked at some parrots and left reluctantly.

Holding the book, Zheng Yan showed the keeper the bird she had just painted and asked, "what kind of bird is this?"

The keeper looked at it. Although the bird painting was rough, the feather colors in several areas were marked. He recognized it at once and said with a smile: "Oh, this is a chestnut headed starling!"

Walking on the air corridor, the huge four count wood is close at hand.

With a smile, Fang Ye stood under the tree canopy and directed the parrot to perform a flying performance under the burning eyes of the children.

Parrots hovered around, showing their beautiful posture.

As he whistled, he landed on him and on the surrounding treetops.

"Wow, the principal is so awesome!"

"How did the principal do it? Teach me!"

"I''ll be the head of the garden in the future! I also want to command parrots to fly wherever they fly! "

The children''s eyes brightened, "quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!

In particular, the little boy dreamed that he was an "animal general" who could communicate with animals. A group of birds flew around in the sky, not to mention how powerful they were.

"Eat, eat!"

King Martin stood on his shoulder, turned his head, shouted at him, and tapped his mouth.

Fang ye took out his pocket and said with a smile, "OK, don''t cry, don''t cry, you can''t live without you!"

As soon as he reached out, King Martin flew down.

Fang Ye touched his head and said, "this parrot is called golden Martin. His hobby is listening to songs and playing dishes. He is a parrot with a lot of character! Put a very high music on it, and you''ll keep jumping and flapping your wings with the melody of the music. "

"Wow ~"

The children were surprised. Do parrots have their own hobbies and personalities? Like listening to music?

Their understanding of animals has been refreshed again.
