    Birds and mammals have long since "diverged" in evolutionary history, so what birds call "poisonous insects" for mammals is not necessarily poisonous insects. This may be one of the reasons why birds are fine when they eat poisonous insects.

    In addition, the intestinal tract and liver of birds can easily denature these protein toxins, thus making them less toxic. Therefore, even if birds ingest poisonous bugs, these protein toxins can be inactivated during digestion.

    In addition, for some birds, such as hawks, they may excrete toxins from their bodies after preying on poisonous bugs. The eagle's droppings do contain some toxic substances, which suggests that they can process these toxins to some extent.

    Overall, the bird's physiology and ability to handle toxins keep them safe when eating poisonous insects. However, for some poisonous insects contaminated with heavy metals, birds may be affected. In this case, we need to take steps to reduce the impact of pollution on wildlife such as birds.

    Some are because its stomach can be digested, just like a person is fine if he eats chocolate, but a dog will be poisoned if he eats chocolate. Some venoms only work when they see blood. If a poisonous snake bites its prey to death and eats it, it will not be poisoned.

    In order to survive and supplement nutrients, birds can grow and reproduce normally. Therefore, they are born and their parents start to feed insects in order to grow and develop, mainly because insects contain a lot of nutrients to provide them with normal growth and development.

    1. Insects are very rich in nutrients, including organic substances: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, etc., as well as a large number of free amino acids and vitamins required by the human body; Inorganic substances: various salts, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, iron; Calcium, etc.

    According to analysis, per 100 ml of human plasma, it contains 24 4-34 4 mg of free amino acids, and every 100 ml of insect blood contains up to 293 mg of free amino acids, which is several times higher than human blood.

    2. In addition to eating insects, birds also eat some grass plants to supplement the lack of vitamins and minerals, eating plants can supplement the deficiency of trace elements in the body, which is beneficial to their health.

    It's nature; Almost all small birds eat insects, and their main food is insects, otherwise insects will flood if they have no natural enemies, and crops will not survive;

    Who's to say it won't? The life of a parasite is likely to be spent in different organisms, some as intermediate hosts and some as final hosts. For example, some parasites will live in the eye stalk of a snail, and then be eaten by birds, lay eggs in the intestines of birds, and be excreted with feces, and snails will be infected with parasites after eating feces.

    Birds almost all eat insects, especially in their juveniles. Some birds are mainly insects, such as hoopoes and chickadees, some birds are mainly plant fruits or stems and leaves, such as pheasants, some are omnivorous, and they will eat whatever they encounter, such as magpies and sparrows, but they will not refuse insects This gourmet meal, especially during the brooding period, it is difficult to breed young birds in a short period of time without insects, and young birds are the most vulnerable stage, this stage is of course the shorter the better. About 95 percent of the world's birds feed on insects to some degree, such as woodpeckers.

    Some birds that don't usually eat insects will catch insects and feed their offspring when they breed their offspring.

The bird has a cuticle on its feet, which is very dry and has very poor conductivity, it can be considered that it is not conductive, and it does not care about the resistance of the high-voltage line or something, and there is also the problem of parallel circuits, the bird does not conduct electricity at all, does not form a potential difference, and cannot reach the loop, so there will be no current through, of course the bird will be fine, understand?

I have 3 points for your reference: The reason why you are bored and have nothing to do is because the surrounding environment is too cumbersome, the things around you are too cumbersome, so it seems to have been integrated, when you are alone and withdrawn, you will feel a kind of emptiness that has no form to compare, In fact, there is no need to repeat every day asking what to do; Or what to do, when you don't know anything, don't think about anything, don't do anything, you can get through boredom by simply sleeping in a daze. Don't think so much, you're born boring, so if you keep repeating boring things, you'll feel bored, and think differently. >>>More
