The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 523 Will I get a concussion if I hit like this (subscribe)
"Every morning is when they are most active. When they get up, they will knock on the tree trunk with their mouths like this, making a sound of beep, beep."

"If you find insects on the trunk, you will cling to the tree tightly, with your head and mouth almost perpendicular to the trunk, peck the bark first, hook out the pests with your tongue and eat them one by one, and use the eggs Mucus sticks out."

"If it sees those insects hiding in the deep passage of the tree trunk, it will also skillfully perform the clever trick of 'drumming and repelling insects', first knocking on the passage with its mouth, and making a special drumming sound that scares the pests. "

"And under the stimulation of such sound waves, the insects will become dizzy and move around, trying to escape from the hole. At this time, they will be caught by the woodpeckers waiting for the rabbit."

"They usually have to completely eliminate the cysticercosis of the whole tree before moving to another tree. When encountering a tree with serious pest infestation, they will work continuously on this tree for several days until all the pests are eliminated.

Er Bao opened his mouth, his face full of surprise.

"Wow, they are too powerful!"

"It is said in the book that the woodpecker is the doctor of the forest, so it turns out that it really heals the trees!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Of course!"

"However, there are many other types of woodpeckers. What we see today is just one of them, such as the red-breasted woodpecker, the blue-eared woodpecker, the blue-throated woodpecker, the black-browed woodpecker, the golden-throated woodpecker, and the scale-bellied woodpecker. Green Woodpecker, Yellow-striped Pseudo-Woodpecker."

"There are also bamboo woodpeckers that specialize in treating bamboo diseases, as well as flower-bellied green woodpeckers, emperor woodpeckers, etc."

"These woodpeckers are generally named according to their habits and appearance, and the habits of each woodpecker are also somewhat different."

"And different woodpeckers make different sounds."

Er Bao: "Is the sound different? Then what does the rhubarb woodpecker call?"

Erbao was full of curiosity, but he still remembered Li Yuan's instructions not to speak loudly, but he couldn't help but be famous for his studies.

Li Yuan: "The call of the great yellow-crowned woodpecker is 'chupchup' intermittently, and it is very urgent."

"The Banji woodpecker's call is a repeated sharp 'miaomiao' sound, a bit like the sound of a drum."

"And the red-breasted woodpecker call, which is a loud single chip and a sharp keekeekee."

"The black woodpecker's call is a loud 'krrikrri' call. It's a very clear call, and it's one of those lingering sounds."

As Li Yuan said, he vividly simulated the calls of various woodpeckers one by one, and the simulated sounds were quite vivid, even many children watching in front of the screen in the live broadcast room were all Surprised.

"However, woodpeckers seldom sing at ordinary times. Only when spring comes or is in danger, woodpeckers will make loud calls. That is because they are expanding their territory and warning other birds not to encroach."

"And the woodpecker's call will be especially loud because of the resonance of the tree hole."

"Woodpeckers in other seasons are very quiet, so it is difficult to find."

"And...Er Bao, look, the woodpecker on the tree doesn't stand on the branch like other birds, but climbs on the upright tree trunk."

Er Bao nodded vigorously.

"Well, Brother Li Yuan, it really is!"

"Its claws are the same as my big cat's! The big cat can hang on the tree like this, and I can't catch it every time!"

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Well, the principle is indeed the same."

"Although woodpeckers also have four toes, they have two forwards and two backwards. On the tips of their toes, there are sharp claws like cats."

"There are also their tails, this one is called a wedge-shaped tail, the feather shaft is hard and very elastic, and it becomes a pillar to support the body when climbing. In this way, the woodpecker can firmly grasp the tree trunk so as not to slip down, and it can also support the tree trunk. They're constantly jumping up and down the trunk, moving quickly, jumping up, bouncing down, or crawling in circles to the sides."

"And the reason why the woodpecker is called the doctor of the forest has a lot to do with its long hard and pointed beak."

"They can accurately find the hiding place of the pest through the sound of knocking on the tree trunk, and perform surgery. Moreover, some woodpeckers have thin hooks on the tip of their tongues, which can be used for sticking and digging, so that the insects have no way to escape."

The soil in the forest is fertile, and the terrain is changeable, and the climate is quite complex, so almost every mountain forest has its own set of natural ecology.

In such a mountain forest, there are various rich plant groups from low to high.

However, because of this, many insects that can harm trees and plants have also been created.

For example, weevils, false walking beetles, long-beetle larvae, and golden tortoises that are common in the mountains and forests, as well as large debt-avoiding moths, borer moths, and some flower bugs, stink bugs, locusts, ants, grubs, etc.

These are all recognized pests and the enemy of trees.

In such a large area of ​​dense and luxuriant forests, if serious pests occur, it will inevitably bring great losses.

However, if manual disinsection is adopted, not only the speed is very slow, but also the time, manpower and material resources consumed are quite huge.

Moreover, these chemical products will also cause great pollution to the environment.

Not only that, some pests that hide under the bark and even penetrate into the xylem, especially microcystis, beetle larvae, grubs, and termites, are difficult to be effective even by artificial control.

At this time, the woodpecker is the most advantageous insect repellent master.

Woodpeckers not only have extremely superb ability to catch insects, but also because of their physical advantages, they can also peck open the hard woody parts and directly eliminate all the pests in the trees.

And most importantly, there is no chemical hazard to the forest at all...

Therefore, the woodpecker is also a veritable beneficial bird, the best friend of trees.

The children in front of the screen, as well as the second treasure next to Li Yuan, can be said to be very involved in listening.

Especially at this time, Er Bao, while looking at the woodpecker only a few meters away, while listening to Li Yuan's very vivid introduction, has already deeply understood the working principle of the woodpecker.

only……

At this moment, Erbao still has a deep doubt.

Er Bao turned his head to look at Li Yuan.

"But, brother Li Yuan, won't the woodpecker's beak hurt if it keeps beating like this?"

"Also, Mom said if the head was touched, you'd get a...concussion! Birds knock like that every day, don't they get concussions?"

Erbao has some immature questions, but unexpectedly, it has attracted many people's same questions.

Studio.

"Yes, yes, I have always been curious about this question!"
