When was the national bird chosen, how did I not know?

China's national bird is the red-crowned crane.

Red-crowned cranes often move in pairs or in family groups and small groups. During the migratory season and winter, large groups of several or dozens of families are often formed. Sometimes the cluster is as many as 40-50, or even more than 100. However, they still disperse into small groups or family groups in a certain area.

At night, it mostly inhabits the shallows or reed ponds surrounded by water, and feeds mainly on fish, shrimp, aquatic insects, molluscs, tadpoles, silkworms, clams, snails, and stems, leaves, roots, bulbs and fruits of aquatic plants. It is found in northeastern China, eastern Mongolia, the east bank of the Ussuri River in Russia, North Korea, South Korea and Hokkaido, Japan.

Reasons why the red-crowned crane was chosen as the national bird:

In fact, the flying ability of the white crane can not be regarded as very powerful, but it is very elegant, and it can also be said to be very temperamental, which is incomparable to ordinary birds.

In addition, the call of the white crane is not possessed by other birds, which is a very significant feature, and it is also a way for many people to listen to it, the main reason is that its call is a way to boost morale. Interestingly, whenever they do something, they will increase their voice by calling out.

The flight and call of the red-crowned crane are not possessed by all birds, so many netizens say that it is the most qualified to become the national bird. In the face of such lovely birds, we must cherish and protect them more.

Originally, the red-crowned crane is the most national bird, and the State Forestry Administration reported to the top that it was also a red-crowned crane, but the upper layer did not pass, because the English name was not suitable, Westerners mistakenly thought that the red-crowned crane was produced in Japan, and named it "Japanese crane" when naming, resulting in the world being collectively named "Japanese crane" English spelling on the first floor!

China's national bird is Li Ertao's bird. Scientific name (. He often lives in Shandong Province and Jiangsu Province. Cases have also been found in individual provinces across the country. Its neck is twenty centimeters long, and it is extremely powerful and domineering.

China's national bird is not the red-crowned crane, okay, China's national bird has not yet been decided

However, it seems that the red-crowned crane is not a national bird because its English name is a Japanese bird.

There is no national bird, in 2003, the country launched the "national bird" selection activity, and the red-crowned crane reached the top with the highest voice. Unfortunately, however, the red-crowned crane has not been identified. Because the red-crowned crane is internationally recognized, the English name translates to "Japanese crane".

It is inappropriate for the national bird to call the name of another country, which is the main reason why the red-crowned crane was not selected. So far, there is no clear national bird.

China's national bird is the red-crowned crane.

In 2003, the State Forestry Administration of China and the China Wildlife Conservation Association launched the National Bird Selection Campaign, and set up an expert selection panel and determined the selection criteria. From May to June 2004, the China Wildlife Conservation Association, China News Service, and Sina.com, together with more than 20 news organizations across the country, held an online campaign to promote national birds.

Among the 10 species of birds that were nominated, the red-crowned crane received 5 million votes from netizens, far ahead of the other contenders. China's State Forestry Administration has reported the red-crowned crane as the only candidate for national bird***.

The status of its population:

Red-crowned cranes need a clean and open wetland environment as their habitat, and are the most sensitive indicator organisms to changes in the wetland environment. Due to the continuous growth of the population, the habitat of the red-crowned crane is constantly changing to farmland or cities.

For example, the moon bubble in the western part of Jilin Province was once the breeding ground of the red-crowned crane, because the artificial embankment around the lake made the water level in the embankment **, the water-lifting plant belt basically disappeared, the floodplain outside the embankment dried up, reclaimed as farmland, and the red-crowned crane has also disappeared.

Another example is the swampy area between Shao Bo Lake and Gaoyou Lake in northern Jiangsu, which used to be the wintering ground of red-crowned cranes, but the number of red-crowned cranes has decreased sharply due to the increasing number of people who come to this area every year to fish, herd and hunt, increase human interference, as well as egg picking and poaching.

The total number of red-crowned cranes in the world is estimated to be only about 1,500 in 2010, of which about 1,000 wintering in China.

China's national bird is the red-crowned crane. China's national bird is now tentatively the red-crowned crane, which was also elected by voting before, that is to say, there were many different birds before, but the red-crowned crane received more than half of the votes when it was voted, so it was called the Leguo bird, and this was still related to the report, which can be said to be more formal, so the red-crowned crane is indeed a very beautiful large bird, generally speaking, it lives in some wetland swamps and other places, and is even called the god of wetlands.

Characteristics of red-crowned cranes:Generally speaking, the lifespan of the red-crowned crane is about 50 to 60 years, and the red-crowned crane has been loved by people in our country since ancient times, mainly because its meaning is better, symbolizing longevity, happiness, auspiciousness, etc., these beautiful words, so it has been put together with pine trees since ancient times, which means that the pine crane prolongs its life.

Of course, the whole red-crowned crane is indeed very elegant in appearance, and now it is a first-class protected animal in our country, so it is called China's national bird, in fact, it is also worthy of its name. The red-crowned crane has a body length of meters, belongs to the crane family, a relatively large wading bird, most of its body is white, but there is some black on the neck and tail feathers.

China still has no national bird love, don't mislead people's children.
