Why do chickens have to look up at the blue sky every time they take a sip of water?

This is because the bone structure of the chicken neck is different from ours and cannot be swallowed, so it has to tilt its neck when drinking water. Let the water flow into the stomach on its own by gravity.

There is also a legend, which is for entertainment only.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the bottom of the river was cracked by years of drought. The old rooster stretched his neck and scurried outside, trying to find saliva to moisten his throat. One day, he found a small pond under the river, and he was so happy that he flapped his wings

Now you can quench your thirst! Who knows, the old rooster stretched out his head and was about to drink water, when he suddenly heard the fish in the pond speak: "Big rooster, big rooster, you are so unreasonable."

The water in this pond was left by the Jade Emperor to save our lives, if you want to come and drink it, beware of the thunder hitting your head! When the old rooster heard this, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran. As the saying goes:

Hunger is enduring, thirst is unbearable. The old rooster turned around and said to himself: It's better to look at the present, otherwise you will die of thirst.

Courageous, it ran back again, a mouthful of water, full of energy, but afraid of thunder in the sky to hit the head. So, it took a sip of water, looked up at the sky, took another sip, and looked up again. In this way, when the chicken drinks water, it has the habit of raising its neck.

It is important to note that people drink water standing with their stomachs lower than their heads, while animals drink with their heads down, so imagine that if people drink water with their heads lowered on their stomachs, there is no way to drink water into their stomachs. If the tongue of the chicken is as long as that of a dog, it can use its tongue to roll water into its mouth, and the pig relies on inertia to bring food into its mouth whether it drinks water or eats.

This is the same principle when a person drinks a drink and then drinks it all, so that the amount of water reaches the maximum when it reaches the throat!

It tilts its head to allow water to flow into its stomach on its own, while chickens are not so good at swallowing, especially liquids, which tend to flow out of their mouths.

The chicken's dream is to eat the sun! So I insisted on it all the time, and it never came to fruition.

Thank God for giving me such clear water to drink.

Chickens drink water and look up at the sky, this is because the bone structure of the chicken's neck is different from ours and cannot swallow, so they have to raise their necks when drinking water. Let the water flow into the stomach on its own by gravity.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a pair of good friends, turtledove and rooster, who were tired of playing in the bamboo forest and were very thirsty, but they couldn't find water to drink.

The turtledove said that if there is no pond, we will dig one, but the rooster is very lazy and wants to drink water but does not want to dig it, and after the turtledove dug the pond, the rooster goes there to drink water. The turtledove felt uncomfortable, so he said: "If you don't dig when you dig the pond, and when you come to drink water, you will be hacked to death by Lei Gong!"

The rooster was frightened when he heard this, so he looked up while drinking water to see if Lei Gong was coming.

This habit has been passed down ever since. Therefore, when chickens drink water, they will look up at the sky while drinking.

In everyday life, you must have noticed that chickens always raise their heads before swallowing water when they drink it. In fact, this is not only the case for chickens, but also for other small birds such as canaries and sparrows. It's an interesting phenomenon that chickens and birds take water in their mouths when they drink it, and then raise their heads to let the water flow naturally into their esophagus.

But, have you noticed that this is not the case with pigeons? When the pigeon drinks water, it puts its mouth into the water and gulls and drinks. Why is that?

The reason why a pigeon can drink water directly into its stomach is that it has a lot of strength to suck water into its mouth, and on the other hand, it has very developed muscles in its mouth, which can swallow water into the esophagus. Because chickens do not have the same developed oral muscles as pigeons, they cannot swallow water directly, so they have to hold water in their mouths when drinking, and then raise their heads to let the water flow naturally into the esophagus.

In addition, birds or poultry that raise their heads to drink water generally have a longer esophagus than their bodies. Their underdeveloped oral muscles are unable to send water directly into this long esophagus. Ostriches are very representative of this.

If you pay attention to the habits of various poultry and birds in your daily life, you will find many interesting phenomena, which will be very beneficial to enrich your scientific knowledge.

Because chickens can only drink water when they raise their heads.

Because it's short.

To lift up. I drank it in.

Grow old together, in pairs.

You can look closely at its throat, and the water is going down.

Because, the chicken's mouth is not very strict, and if you lower your head, the water will flow out.

It's the same as why you look up when you drink medicine.
