Little Birds Arrive in Zhengzhou: Welcome and Please Take Care
The gentle breeze, the chirping of birds.
In 2020, a group of birds quietly arrived in our city, seemingly in love with it, soaring across the azure sky and playing on the mirrored surface of the water.
Since the beginning of spring, 4 gray-necked cranes have landed in North Longhu Lake, surprising the spring in Zhengzhou.
In recent years, people have repeatedly observed the presence of swans in North Longhu Lake, but in the past, this place was only a resting stop for them, staying for no more than three days, while this 4 gray-necked crane has been living here for nearly a month, perhaps Zhengzhou's beautiful environment and human-friendly atmosphere will become its permanent home.
Trees and water have more, and birds have better living space. Recently, reporters photographed many birds in Zhengzhou's parks, green spaces, and lakes. These cute little birds live around us. Spring has come, and Zhengzhou is becoming a bird paradise.
Mr. Yang Xudong, vice chairman of the Henan Provincial Wild Bird Observation Society, said that the ecological environment governance in Zhengzhou has achieved remarkable results, citizens' living conditions are becoming more and more comfortable, and more and more birds are settling down, in recent years he has observed including gray-necked cranes, blue-headed ducks, Eurasian jays, and snipe at least 20 species that have not appeared in Zhengzhou before, which fully reflects the achievements of the city's ecological civilization construction.
The wind makes the birds fly, birds make the sky full of vitality, and the sky makes the wind free. Today, let's get to know these little elves. There is a kind of love called non-interference.
