Puffins, in the eyes of strangers, the attitude of Icelanders to their beautiful and beautiful national birds is contradictory: on the one hand, protection, on the other hand, this allows you to open the hunt and become Chinese. Therefore, every August, Icelandic children help hundreds of lost sea parrots return to the sea, while other foodies take nets to capture birds on summer rocks to prepare delicious food. food
Before I went to Iceland, when I first saw this beautiful bird, walking and melancholy in the photo, I fell in love with her: her name is Puffin, and her scientific name is Sea Parrot. , the national bird of Iceland.
In the summer, sea parrots prey on the sea, and clumsy birds on land are more likely to move in the sea.
Iceland is an important habitat for sea parrots; more than half of the world's sea parrots live here, especially on the southern island of Westerman. In summer, sea parrots mainly prey on the sea. They are rare on rocks. They did not see them on the beach several times. After disappointment, they thought that the trip should have passed a sea parrot. Suddenly, I observed a whale watching on the pier, so I found a cruise ship specializing in parrots, so I was excited to buy a ticket with my companion. The destination is a piece of bird rock, about five or six nautical miles in front.
In addition to sea parrots, there are many other birds in the bird rock.
Puffin parrots fly high, orange crickets and claws are very attractive
I quickly found it on the telephoto lens. Don't look at the sea parrot. The head is small, about 20 cm, but a bright mouth is very attractive. Seeing the fast flying sea, black feathers, white breasts, short wings, looks very cute. After the winter, they returned to the shore from the sea, hatching eggs on the rocks of the birds, and raising chickens. Parrots return to the same nest every year. This seabird has the habit of an amphibious animal and is very special.
During the long summer, when the sea parrot hatched, the father of the bird and the mother of the bird were busy fishing and feeding the chicken. Interestingly, sea parrots filled with cargo are usually filled with seven to eight fish, which are constantly captured and transported through the lair in the mouth, which is of course a fishing expert. Unfortunately, the distance is too far and the lens is not long enough. I need to redo the last two photos from the yacht's album so everyone can have fun.
Irina saw that I really like sea parrots. When she walked through a bookstore, she created a children's book about the famous Icelandic Night of Death. I found this article even selected as a textbook for Chinese primary school students. The story unfolds on Heimey Island on Westerman Island in Iceland, one of the main habitats of Icelandic sea parrots. Every August, the little sea gull starts the first flight from the nest, which is a short trip from the cliff. In the evening, most small sea parrots can safely travel to the sea in the direction of the moonlight. However, some of the parrots will be lost in the direction of the nearest village and eventually fall into the village. Because I can't fly to the ground, I have to run around to find a hidden place. These poor guys are at risk of colliding with cars and attacking dogs and cats. Fortunately, the children in the village knew and organized them. Everyone took a flashlight, searched around and took the little sea cockatoo. The little protagonist of the sea parrot night and her friend did just that.
