01:31They come in various shapes and sizes.
01:43There are petite aerial acrobats
01:47There were also tall running swordsmen.
01:51There are diving experts
01:53There are also long-distance gliding experts
01:57They wore battle suits made of strange flying fish.
02:00Noji Hideie truly lived up to his name.
02:20The true ancestors of modern birds remain a mystery.
02:27But we know they must have some connection to dinosaurs.
02:37After a long period of evolution
02:39Some dinosaurs grew feathers
02:42Scientists believe that Tyrannosaurus Rex was once covered in fur.
02:52The Greek name for Deinonychus means "terrifying claws".
02:56Their bodies were covered in feathers
02:59The purpose of these feathers at that time
03:01Perhaps for warmth
03:03And ball puppet performances
03:11But Deinonychus could not fly.
03:13Real flying
03:15It is the famous full-grown bird
03:18The bird-like bird is an important link between dinosaurs and modern birds.
03:22They have flying fish, just like modern birds.
03:25But it also possesses characteristics of reptiles.
03:28For example, teeth, three toes, and claws.
03:33This is a fossil of the Confuciusornis.
03:35There are well-preserved feather marks on it.
03:38This indicates that they are real birds.
03:44The Hai bird is a large carnivore.
03:47Height can reach three meters
03:49Weight can reach 180 kilograms
03:53They went extinct approximately 17,000 years ago.
03:58However, large birds still exist in the world today.
04:06Ostriches are the largest birds in the world.
04:11Male ostriches can reach a height of three meters.
04:14Weight can reach 150 kilograms
04:21Strange sounds echoed through the Namib Desert.
04:26This is the call of a male ostrich asserting its territory.
04:36It is ready to mate.
04:41This message must be conveyed to all female members of the group.
04:48It chose a female ostrich.
04:54But the male ostrich still has a lot of work to do.
04:57The mating ritual of ostriches is a long process.
05:05First, the female ostrich invites the male to join in.
05:08Participate in the chase game
05:18During the running
05:20Female ostriches test the speed and agility of males.
05:28This animal with its strange feathers may not be able to fly.
05:32But he is very good at running.
05:34Top speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour
05:44The male ostrich passed the first test.
05:47The female waits for it to approach.
05:50Now male ostriches must show their most beautiful side.
05:57Its meticulously designed dance moves
05:59It's all to show off its exquisite feathers.
06:19The female ostrich is captivated by the male's dance.
06:22He accepted its courtship
06:36After six weeks of incubation
06:38The male bird finally hatched.
06:46Male ostriches will help the female incubate the eggs and care for the male.
06:53Ostrich herds share a nest
06:56This may include dozens of eggs laid by different females.
07:00The adult bird will continue to care for the male bird for the next nine months.
07:04But first
07:05The male bird must break through the eggshell on its own.
07:13The newly molted male bird welcomes its companions.
07:19at last
07:20All the male birds have hatched.
07:22However, the late-hatched little ones are still not stable.
07:29The adult bird led the newly hatched male bird away from the nest.
07:33Little ones need their parents to tell them what they can eat.
07:38Fortunately
07:39Ostriches are not picky eaters
07:40They eat grass
07:42seed
07:42They also eat insects.
07:46But there are some things that are to them
07:48Not easy to digest
07:58Ostriches have no teeth
07:59Unable to chew food
08:01then
08:02They then used the rubble.
08:08Ostriches store small pebbles in their gizzards.
08:11These pebbles can grind food like a grater.
08:20Adult ostriches need to make the birds understand
08:22Sometimes
08:23They had to eat these not-so-appetizing things.
08:29Obviously
08:29The little ones still have a lot to learn.
08:33Only then can one grow up and mature
08:34And their teachers
08:35We're ready to start the next class.
08:47This adult ostrich is demonstrating how to take a bath without water.
08:57Sharks are very important
08:58Helps maintain the fluffiness of feathers
09:01It can also prevent skin from getting infected with parasites.
09:21The little ones couldn't wait to imitate their father's actions.
09:24Good performance
09:25They must keep their feathers soft and fluffy.
09:33Unlike other flying birds, ostrich feathers do not fold together.
09:37Together
09:38Instead, it presents a loose state.
09:40Its function is also different from that of other birds.
09:45The fluttering of feathers helps ostriches lower their body temperature.
09:49Keep your body cool in the desert
09:56The arrival of the wind brought changes to the desert.
10:11After months of drought
10:14It finally started raining in the desert.
10:17For the ostrich family
10:18This rain was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
10:22Tender green grass sprouted on the sandy ground after the rain.
10:30The ostrich chicks now have plenty of food.
10:33But that's not all.
10:40Drinking water
10:41They took their first real bath.
10:58These little guys will become the new generation of large birds in Namibia.
11:02kind
11:12The jungles of South America are home to one of the world's most colorful birds.
11:17kind
11:19Hummingbirds are among the most colorful animals in the world.
11:24They are only a few centimeters long.
11:26He is a true aerial acrobat
11:32A hummingbird's wings can flap eighty times per second.
11:36We must use super slow motion.
11:38Only then can you see their flying movements.
11:45The hummingbird's feathers shimmered
11:47Dazzling and eye-catching
11:55Their feathers are so brightly colored
11:57It's because there are tiny air bubbles on the feathers.
12:01These bubbles can refract, reflect, or converge light.
12:05This results in a dazzling array of colors.
12:14Hummingbird feathers can change color depending on the angle of light.
12:17This is also a signal
12:19Like a warning light to alert intruders
12:25If the warning is ignored
12:27The hummingbird will then launch an attack.
12:33Hummingbirds are very small
12:34But we will never show weakness.
12:36They will engage in a fierce battle with their competitors.
12:42They need to eat every day
12:44Nectar almost equal to her own weight
12:46Therefore, it is essential to defend one's food sources.
12:55Hummingbird feathers are colorful
12:58We will venture deep into the flower-filled jungle
13:00Exploring Hummingbirds and Flowering Plants
13:02The Secret of Co-evolution
13:17Amidst the colorful flowers
13:18The aerial battle of the hummingbirds is in full swing.
13:21These tiny and adorable hummingbirds
13:23Why the fierce competition for ownership of flowers?
13:26Why do some hummingbirds only have a particular fondness for one type of nectar?
13:31Don't go away
13:32The Wilderness Winner: The Strange Flying Fish is currently airing.
13:51Hummingbirds are very good at flying
13:53Therefore, the struggle between them
13:55Most of them unfold in the air
14:25Ground level slope regeneration
14:29This kind of fight usually takes place around flower beds.
14:31A hummingbird that has lost its territory and food source
14:35They will soon face the danger of death.
14:44No wonder the petite and adorable hummingbird can become so fierce.
14:52Researchers speculate
14:53The close relationship between hummingbirds and plants
14:56It began in the mountains
14:59The climate in the mountains is cold
15:00Plants cannot rely on insects for pollination
15:04So they found another partner.
15:07That is, the ancestors of modern hummingbirds
15:16To get closer to the flowers
15:17Hummingbirds evolved their signature hovering flight ability.
15:21This type of flight requires a lot of energy.
15:25As a result, hummingbirds became smaller and smaller.
15:31Between specific types of plants and hummingbirds
15:33A symbiotic relationship gradually formed
15:37This relationship is becoming increasingly close.
15:40Some hummingbirds even rely on the flowers of only one type of plant for survival.
15:45Conversely, some flowers have special shapes.
15:48Only one type of hummingbird can dilute their nectar.
15:54For example, only hummingbirds can enjoy the nectar of datura flowers.
16:00The bird painting of the hummingbird with a sharp beak is longer than its body.
16:03Proportionally speaking
16:04Their bird drawing length is the longest in the world.
16:08besides
16:09The hummingbird with the sharp beak also has a long tongue.
16:13They can rely on these two tools
16:15Obtaining delicacies that other birds can hardly match
16:18The painting of the hummingbird with a knife beak has other uses.
16:25Scorpion Tail Glue Curved Nectar
16:26There are also matching partners.
16:30White-tailed hummingbird
16:31They have special weapons for sucking the nectar of this plant.
16:36As the saying goes
16:37One key for one lock
16:39Bird illustration of a white-tailed hummingbird.
16:41The nectar that pairs perfectly with scorpion tail glue
16:44While it greedily sucked the nectar
16:46Pollen will stick to its head.
16:49Then it will collect these pollen
16:51Bring it to another flower
16:52Complete pollination
16:57However, hummingbirds also have their own problems.
17:00They have a large energy requirement.
17:02So every fifteen minutes
17:04You need to suck the nectar once
17:12Hummingbirds are fog larvae unique to the Americas.
17:15It has another evolutionary process.
17:17Similar birds
17:19Living in East Africa
17:20In the mountains of Luwenzuoli
17:23Giant Half-Band
17:24It is the only plant in this region that produces nectar.
17:27Although there are flies here
17:29But lacking ship pollen insects
17:31However, half of the giant was found.
17:34Another group of helpers
17:35Red Vinegar Honey Bird
17:38Although this bird resembles a hummingbird in appearance
17:40However, the two are not genetically related.
17:43Red Vinegar Honey Bird
17:44The nectar that can poison and eliminate half of all giants' half
17:47In return
17:48Red vinegar flower honeybird will help the giant spread powder on half of his body.
17:55The rainy season is coming to an end
17:57Female Red Vinegar Honeybird
17:59They will fly to higher altitudes to find mates.
18:03Male Red Vinegar Honeybird
18:05Attracting females' attention with long, drawn-out phrases.
18:09They also need to demonstrate their formidable strength in protecting the flower garden territory.
18:14At the start of the courtship ceremony
18:16Male Red Vinegar Honeybird
18:18First, show throat-cutting and wing flapping.
18:24Accompanying flight
18:25It is also part of the mating ceremony.
18:37Male Red Vinegar Honeybird
18:38It will proudly display the red spots under its wings.
18:41This is a unique decoration for the Red Vinegar Honeybird.
18:48Female Red Vinegar Honeybird
18:49I like to boil it in the withered leaves that are half-covered by spiders on the giant's side.
18:54nest
18:55The couple will raise their children together.
18:58After the male bird is able to stand on its own
19:00Male red nectarbirds will return to warmer, lower-altitude areas.
19:07The male red honeybird lives year-round in the Ruwenzoli Mountains.
19:12Most of the river water flowing here flows into the Nile.
19:23Downstream from inside and outside the Tree Palace
19:25The Nile River became mighty and surging.
19:30The schools of fish in the river attracted a large number of birds.
19:34At this time, many animals have already entered their breeding season.
19:38Strangely, Mizushi Yoko likes to build her nest in the middle of a group of crocodiles.
19:46This large parasitic animal had also already caused chaos at this time.
19:50Mizushi Yoko and the crocodile share a common enemy.
19:55The Nile Megacity
20:00Seeing the crocodile about to go to the river to cool down
20:03The Nile River's westernmost point took the opportunity to approach.
20:06Start searching for crocodile eggs
20:11The nearby Mizushi was also worried about his eggs.
20:15This brave water stone launched its attack.
20:18Hoping to drive away the Nile giants
20:30The cries of the water stone were also a warning to the crocodiles.
20:33Thieves roam here
20:36A crocodile mother took action
20:42The Nile's Great West wanted to escape.
20:44But Mizushi Heng wouldn't let him escape so easily.
20:53The shore is safe.
20:54The crocodile mother that can turn back
20:56The stillness moved towards the tide of water and stones.
21:06Mizushi Yoko wanted to avoid the worst-case scenario as much as possible.
21:11The crocodile stopped next to the bird's nest.
21:22what to do
21:24Shui Shiheng seemed somewhat at a loss.
21:29But tragedy still occurred, unavoidably.
21:42All his efforts were in vain.
21:45One of his eggs ruptured.
21:52Mizushi quickly removed the broken eggs from the bird's nest.
21:59He didn't want the smell of egg yolk.
22:01This attracted thieves again.
22:18One egg was intact.
22:20The couple continued their incubation work.
22:23Although misfortune occurred
22:25However, Mizushi Heng still did not change the location of the tide-building site.
22:28Surrounded by crocodiles
22:30It seems to make me feel safer
22:37After all, these huge reptiles
22:40He is the undisputed ruler of this land.
22:49The presence of water and rocks is unique among birds.
22:52They dared to build up tides in their breeding grounds in Nile.
22:55They might even build bird nests directly above crocodile nests.
22:59These two very different animals will cooperate to enrich the next generation.
23:04When the crocodile is sulking in the water
23:06The active and alert Mizushiro acts as a sentinel.
23:09Once a predator approaches
23:11Shui Shi Heng will spread his wings
23:13continuous chirping
23:14Warning the crocodiles to drive away the bomb thieves
23:18However, due to the fierce threat posed by Nilee...
23:20Even Shui Shiheng's natural enemies dared not act rashly.
23:23To target the baby birds of the water stone.
23:26Weak birds need the strength of stronger ones to defend against threats.
23:30Even powerful birds are not invincible.
23:34Golden Eagle, the master of the skies
23:36How can we solve its survival problems?
23:51On the majestic snow-capped mountains
23:53The golden eagle's eyes were piercing.
23:55It observed every move of the antelope herd.
23:59How will this giant raptor show its skills?
24:03Leaving the uninhabited mountain area
24:04We arrived at the bustling market.
24:06See what kind of bird it is.
24:08It has become integrated into human life
24:10Don't go away
24:11Wilderness Winner in the Vast World
24:13The Strange Flying Fish is airing.
24:35Europe's Alps
24:37Another supreme apex wild animal lives there.
24:42The golden eagles of Veyyan are the aerial masters of the Alps.
24:49The peaks of Weiyan are their home.
24:53They hunt here
24:54They also build their nests here.
25:00The elegant golden eagle awaits the return of its mate.
25:09Male golden eagles not only help elegant females build nests
25:13It will also help it raise its chicks.
25:20The first golden eagle chick has hatched.
25:23The second chick next to it was still struggling inside its eggshell.
25:29A golden eagle's nest usually has two chicks.
25:31But the later-hatched chicks will have a more difficult time.
25:37The first chicks to hatch often attack the ones that hatch later.
25:40Sometimes it can even kill the other party.
25:46Adult golden eagles will try their best to give equal care to the two chicks.
25:50Keep them warm and provide them with food
25:59Foraging is the responsibility of the male golden eagle.
26:11Golden eagles have very keen eyesight.
26:13Can search for prey in the air
26:26A group of strange spirits are leaping and advancing on the hillside.
26:30But one of their eagles was left behind on the mountain.
26:33It seems to be sick.
26:37This scene did not escape the eyes of the young golden eagle.
26:45A single eagle bird struggled to catch up with its flock.
26:50The golden eagle spotted an opportunity
27:01The attack must be silent.
27:07Do not let the prey discover the danger approaching.
27:17He discovered his region at a young age.
27:17A Red Herdsman with Many Eagles
27:20That's right
27:30No water
27:32He discovered his region at a young age.
27:39Forbidden Zone
27:50The young golden eagle successfully captured its prey.
27:52It asserts its sovereignty with its calls.
28:01Birds have made remarkable evolutionary achievements.
28:04They have conquered a wide variety of habitats on Earth.
28:13In Sydney, Australia
28:14A native parrot population is growing.
28:20There were no cockatoos here a hundred years ago.
28:26But now, large flocks of cockatoos are pouring into Sydney.
28:35Among them, the cockatoo
28:38It was widely welcomed by the residents.
28:43Wild cockatoos are very curious
28:47Visitors to the Sydney Botanic Gardens are always delighted with them.
28:57Some cockatoos have yellow tags on their bodies.
29:01This indicates that they have been included in the research project.
29:07People often take interesting photos when cockatoos are nearby.
29:12Photograph
29:27But why would these birds come to this place?
29:31Surprisingly, humans don't know much about them.
29:37So the scholars launched an innovative research project in Sydney.
29:42They gave some of the cockatoos a striking yellow marking.
29:46This way, people can identify these parrots and report their locations.
29:51Place
29:54Botany Botanical Gardens is simply a place where large numbers of cockatoos gather.
29:59one
30:02They have taken over all the best areas of the city for themselves.
30:06Have breakfast at Bondi Beach in the morning
30:08We had dinner at Sydney Harbour again that evening.
30:15Moreover, they quickly learned how to exploit human goodwill.
30:30News of the cockatoo wearing a heterotonic mark spread quickly.
30:36People can report their whereabouts directly to the research team.
30:41Italian standard reporting apps are popular among the public.
30:45People can take photos of these parrots and submit them directly.
30:50Location information
30:56The Italian project can help scholars understand the cockatoo in Sydney.
31:01Places for gathering and eating
31:07Finding food is a problem faced by birds all over the world.
31:16In the rainforests of Sri Lanka
31:18The way a bird eats snatched food is particularly unique.
31:24The beautiful Sri Lankan blue finches are native to the island of Sri Lanka.
31:32Sri Lankan blue finches can eat a variety of foods
31:36Including fruit frogs and insects
31:41And their favorite food is caterpillars.
31:46Some caterpillars use their long hairs to defend themselves against predators.
31:51However, the Sri Lankan bluebird found a solution.
31:57It will rub off the caterpillar's long hairs on the branch.
32:00However, this time it wasn't hunting for itself.
32:03Instead, they need to feed two chicks.
32:19Sri Lankan bluebird parents share the responsibility of raising their offspring.
32:23However, the Sri Lankan bluebird mother still needs to keep her chicks warm.
32:31It fluttered its wings
32:32Urging the Sri Lankan bluebird father to bring back food for him
32:47Adult Sri Lankan blue larks do not work alone.
32:51They also have helpers.
32:53Competition for food in this region is intense
32:56Their older descendants are not yet able to establish their own families.
33:02Therefore, these members also help the parents raise younger chicks.
33:15older brother, older sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece
33:18All members of the community will help search for food.
33:27Although competition is fierce in the rainforest
33:29But the Sri Lankan bluebird has found a suitable way to raise its offspring.
33:45Only about one-tenth of bird species
33:47Having such a close family relationship
33:52But when self-operated businesses are scarce
33:54Extraordinary measures must be taken.
33:55Only in this way can we ensure that the next generation grows up smoothly.
34:00Other birds must also follow this principle.
34:09There are many examples of cooperative breeding in the bird kingdom.
34:12For example, Sri Lankan bluebird
34:14Ground tit and Northern duck
34:16During the period of cultivation
34:17Not only will the parents go all out
34:19Other family members will also get involved.
34:22Become a nest
34:23hatchery
34:24Helper for feeding chicks and guarding the nest
34:27They might even give up the opportunity to reproduce.
34:30Zoologists discovered
34:32Birds bred in cooperation
34:33Most live in harsh environments
34:35resource-scarce areas
34:37Only by choosing complementary advantages
34:39Only then can they adapt to harsh living environments.
34:42Next
34:42The camera follows the birds as they fly towards the azure sea.
34:45Albatrosses who love to drift at sea

35:57Albatross's life
35:59Most of the time was spent at sea
36:02Only during mating season
36:03Only then will it fly to land
36:06This is Kaina Point on Oahu, Hawaii.
36:10Many albatrosses nest here
36:12They all came from a settlement on another island.
36:15The bird nests that used to be there have all been washed away by the sea.
36:18Albatrosses can only seek new homes
36:21Some of the albatrosses arrived at Kaina Point.
36:24And they established this settlement.
36:29However, there are some issues with their group composition.
36:32Albatrosses that have settled here
36:34Two-thirds of them are female
36:44Insufficient number of male albatrosses
36:45However, females cannot care for their offspring alone.
36:50After the chicks hatch
36:51Adult albatrosses need more than six months to reach adulthood.
36:54Continue to care for the chicks
36:56A lone albatross
36:58It is simply impossible to complete this arduous task.
37:01So what should the female albatross do?
37:08Researchers have only recently found the answer.
37:10They found two eggs in some of the nests.
37:15One is inside the nest.
37:16One was left outside
37:19The albatross lays only one egg at a time.
37:22So where did the other egg come from?
37:25Gene analysis results
37:27These two eggs came from two different females.
37:31Two female albatrosses formed a same-sex pair.
37:34Sharing a bird's nest
37:37These two are in this situation.
37:40certainly
37:41At least one of them was a female albatross.
37:43Needs to mate with males
37:45besides
37:46They and their opposite-sex partners
37:48Interpersonal behavior
37:49Almost no difference
37:53When a female albatross
37:54After drifting at sea for several months
37:56When I finally returned to my family
37:58They will hold a joyful reunion ceremony.
38:07The albatross's tide is very simple.
38:10It's basically a pit in the sand.
38:15These two female albatrosses
38:17I come back here every year
38:18Shared Bird's Nest
38:20And share the responsibility of raising offspring.
38:22They are not isolated cases.
38:24Approximately 30% of albatrosses are found in Kaina.
38:27This formed a dual female pairing
38:31If both female albatrosses have laid eggs
38:34They will hatch one of the eggs.
38:36And discard another one.
38:38Nobody knows how they made their choices.
38:46In a few years
38:47When this albatross chick grows up and matures
38:50It will also return here to find a doctor's partner.
38:53The other party may be male.
38:55It could also be female.
39:00Ground penguins also form loyal mates.
39:04The place where they will reproduce
39:06It was chosen in one of the most extreme environments on Earth.
39:10Antarctica
39:21In the midst of ice and snow
39:23Ground penguins don't need to worry about the danger of preying on animals.
39:26The climate here is too harsh.
39:27Other animals would find it difficult to survive.
39:31Antarctic winter temperatures
39:32It can drop to -40 degrees Celsius
39:35When the ice storm raged
39:37Even ground penguins can only struggle to survive.
39:40At this time, the chicks especially need protection.
39:47Adult male penguins
39:48The chicks will be placed in a soft and warm brood pouch.
39:56Thousands of ground penguins
39:57They will form a large group
39:59In such severe cold
40:01To survive
40:03We must rely on each other
40:05Never leaving
40:09Adult male penguins
40:10To protect future generations and themselves
40:12Kissing away from the bitter cold
40:13They stood close together.
40:15Constitute a mobile fortress
40:18They must hold on until
40:20Female penguins return from the sea
40:27At the edge of the ice sheet thousands of kilometers away
40:30The female penguin is about to set off to hunt.
40:39Although ground penguins seem clumsy on land
40:42But they are extremely agile in water.
40:46Ground penguins' feathers help them retain body temperature.
40:49Therefore, they can survive in cold seawater.
40:52Diving for more than twenty minutes
40:54Catching fish, squid, and prawns
40:59Renshi Photography Lens
41:01Male penguins were on display.
41:03Amazing movement process
41:05They will follow certain rules
41:07Change one's position within the group
41:09Each penguin will have a short period of time
41:13Exposed to the cold wind and frost
41:16Then slowly move to
41:17The warmest center of the entire group
41:31This set of rules can improve the performance of each male penguin.
41:34The probability of survival of its offspring
41:36But female penguins must be mates with males.
41:39Before the body's stored energy is depleted
41:41Come back here
41:44period
41:44Male penguins will use one type of food for as long as possible.
41:47Feeding chicks with milk-like nutrients
41:50The female penguin has already eaten her fill.
41:55Begin the long journey
41:56Return to mate and chicks
42:08This journey will take several days.
42:19Experts believe that ground penguins rely on observing terrain features.
42:23And determining direction by sensing the Earth's magnetic field
42:26And search for the location of the tribe.
42:32at last
42:32They were finally reunited with their families.
42:34Female ground penguins
42:36The sound of silence resonates within the community.
42:38Determining the identity of a partner
42:40Then it quickly took the chick
42:42To prevent the little guy from being passively damaged
42:50Ground penguins have found a suitable method
42:53They not only survive in harsh environments
42:57And they continue to reproduce and multiply.
43:00And some birds in other places
43:02But it needs human help.
43:07This is a view seen through the eyes of a special bird.
43:14This is a breeding base in Mexico.
43:20This newborn chick belongs to a subspecies of the pheasant-winged macaw.
43:25This bird species is extremely rare.
43:28Each chick needs to be cared for by a dedicated person.
43:33In Mexico
43:34The pheasant is almost extinct.
43:39Habitat shrinkage and illegal animal trade
43:42This has caused a sharp decline in the number of pheasant-like birds.
43:48However, the local breeding program has achieved remarkable results.
43:51Since 1994
43:53More than a thousand pheasants were born here.
44:07The pheasant-winged macaw is a brightly colored bird.
44:10The goal of this project is to release them back into the wild.
44:14But before that
44:15There is still much to learn about these macaws.
44:22The staff brought twenty pheasants
44:25Placed in a large aviary
44:27This is their classroom.
44:29Their birds will be marked
44:31They then confirmed their identities with the staff.
44:34Cleverness is fraught with danger.
44:35poachers and birds of prey
44:37These are all extremely dangerous factors.
44:42In order to survive
44:43The Flying Macaw must understand and be aware of these dangers.
44:48Today's lesson content is closely related to this theme.
45:00The pheasant is instinctively afraid of hawks.
45:03They scattered in all directions
45:04This is the correct response.
45:10After the aerial threat was eliminated
45:12The staff began to impersonate evil poachers.
45:17For these young pheasants
45:19Cultivating a fear of humans is an important moment.
45:24They were all raised by humans.
45:25Staff who can pose as poachers
45:28But I hope they never trust humans.
45:33The course was very successful
45:35But ironically
45:36This created a new problem for the breeding team.
45:39People must first capture these magpies.
45:47Only then can they be released back into the wild.
45:49But the success of the course
45:50This also makes these birds very difficult to catch.
46:25The journey to freedom begins at midnight.
46:28This time point
46:29Flying macaws should usually be asleep
46:32They seemed somewhat confused.
46:40They don't know
46:41I'm about to start a new life.
46:54The entire journey took more than twelve hours.
46:57Starting from Carmen Beach
46:59Heading to Palenque National Park
47:06In order to let the Flying Macaw
47:08Maintain a relaxed and cheerful mood.
47:10The keepers will provide them with small treats.
47:18The important day has finally arrived.
47:21This release is a major event for the local area.
47:24The brightly colored, loud-voiced Flying Macaw
47:27Finally back in the mountains
47:36Finally free
47:41From now on
47:42The Flying Macaw can only live on its own now.
47:51The breeding team hopes they can produce offspring in the wild.
48:00These macaws
48:02Bearing the future of the entire population
48:06Free-flying macaw
48:09A bright future awaits.
48:10They will become the building blocks of our planet
48:13A part of the beautiful and diverse life of birds
48:21Climate change and human activities
48:23It has had a profound impact on birds.
48:25Their survival status is deteriorating.
48:28Approximately 12% of species are endangered.
48:32To save the birds of Mingwei
48:34Zoologists and conservation experts
48:36Dedicated to captive environments
48:38Create a sustainable population
48:40After thorough preparation and evaluation
48:42Reintroducing it
48:44Protected wild habitats
48:46Striving to restore the vitality of wild populations
48:50From penguins covered in ice and snow
48:52Eagles soaring high in the sky
48:54To the urban parrot
48:56All kinds of birds
48:58Composition of nature
48:59Even the human world
49:00An indispensable link
49:03Only by respecting life
49:04Respect for nature
49:06Only then can we protect biodiversity.
49:08Maintaining ecological balance
49:10Let's work together to protect these great
49:12Feathered life spirits
