Pearl birds inhabit dry sparse forest belts, shrublands, open farmland, meadows, salt marshes, plantations, parks, courtyards, etc. They often move in pairs or groups, especially in the dry season, and often gather in large flocks of more than 10 million birds near water.

The male of the pearl bird chirps more frequently, the song has a single tone or a single tone rapid continuous song, the continuous song is urgent, the song is not very pleasant to the ear, but it does not make people feel annoyed and uneasy, the song is not high, the bird's head and tail are high when the song is called, it is in the shape of "U", and then it is matched with a gorgeous feather color, which is very ornamental. Females generally sing very rarely. Adult male and female birds are often inseparable, grooming each other, kissing, nodding, and a strong friendship between husbands and wives.

The pearl bird is not very strict about drinking water and water baths, and it can also go without drinking for a long time, and it can also obtain the water necessary for physiological activities from food. When you drink water, you suck a bit like a pigeon. The requirements for water baths are not high, as long as the feathers are slightly wet during the water bath, and the male and female birds can be feathered with each other in the future.

Pearl birds feed on plant foods, such as plant seeds, young leaves, and shoots, and mostly forage on the ground, sometimes flying in the air to catch some small insects.

Because the names of birds are generally based on appearance, habitat and species, and rarely for no reason or according to value, the reason why the pearl bird is called the pearl bird is because it has pearl-like spots on its fluff, which is more eye-catching, so it is called the pearl bird. In addition, he also called the zebra finch and the gold mountain pearl, the zebra finch because it has zebra-like stripes (male), and the gold mountain of the gold mountain pearl is the place name.

The pearl bird is named pearl bird because of its white feathers and many small white spots, which resembles a "pearl" and is said to be called "gold mountain" because of the previous legend that Sydney, Australia, was rich in gold mines, just as San Francisco in the United States was called "San Francisco" because of its previous gold mine, so the pearl bird also formed a common name of "gold mountain pearl bird" because of the region.

When pearl birds are in the wild, they are good at using natural burrows or abandoned cave nests of other cave-pecking nesting birds, and the nesting materials are often slender grass stems and leaves, especially the soft tidbits or fruit ears of grasses are used to nest. When the nest is completed, the male and female birds work together to complete, the general male bird looks for suitable nest materials, and connects to the cave, the female builds the nest blank in the cave, and then gradually implants the nest materials such as fine grass, feathers, fibers, etc., during the egg laying, incubation and brooding, the male still has to latch on to the soft nest material for the female to repair the nest.

How cute the pearl bird is! I really wanted to raise two birds of my own, and after much request, my dad finally agreed. On a Sunday morning, Dad and I carefully selected a pair of adorable pearl birds from the Bird and Flower Market.

This pair of pearl birds is very small and not as big as a newborn chick, and when they reach me, they can't fill my hands yet! They're so endearing. Both birds have cute red beaks and small round heads.

When you look at it, it also stares at you intently with mung bean-sized eyes, as if asking you something, which is very interesting! Their cries are small but beautiful, sweet and mellow, and I can't get enough of them. They are lively and active, and often jump around in their cages.

The male bird has a small orange face, gray feathers, and two yellow feathers on the back half of the body, and the yellow feathers are inlaid with white spots in the middle, like a crystal white pearl sprinkled on it, which is not only beautiful, but also mighty. The female bird is larger than the male bird, with gray feathers, no yellow face, but a face like a baogong, and the feathers on the back half of the body are like sparrows, and there are no inlaid white spots, so it is not as beautiful as the male bird, but it is more honest than the male bird.

Both birds love cleanliness very much and bathe in the small pool every day. Flap its little wings, swing its little tail, and in a moment the feathers will be clean and beautiful.

Both birds are also very industrious. One day, I put some hay in the birdcage, and you see two birds scrambling to carry the hay into their own houses and make soft nests. They stayed in the warm nest every night and it was so comfortable!

Dad said that every spring, the two birds lay eggs and hatched cute little birds. How cute the pearl bird is!
