Magpie is one of the most common birds in daily life. It is pleasing to sound. IQ is equivalent to human 4-5 years old children. In traditional Chinese culture, magpies are auspicious symbols. Every Tanabata, the magpie will use the body to build a bridge across the galaxy, helping the cowboy and weaver to meet.

In nature, the magpie of the "Qiaoqiao" is indeed a skillful craftsman in the birds. They usually set the nests on the top of the tall trees. From the outside, the magpie nest is built from a group of branches, but inside is mud, straw stems and feathers, forming a soft "mattress". The appearance is open, but the inside is "fine decoration". Such a comfortable nest often causes other birds to "jealous" and "dove occupy the nest" often occur.

"What color is the magpie?" Liu Rada threw the problem. The students carefully observed the feathers of the magpie, and saw the blue -green luster in the dark, looking very gorgeous. The students scrambled to answer: black, white, blue, colorful!

Liu Rada affirmed one by one, and then introduced that the color of the magpie feathers is varied, and its black feathers have uneven surfaces and complicated structures. They can reflect with natural light to form color changes. They change beautiful metal color with different perspectives and light. "This is our legendary 'colorful black'." Liu Rida laughed.

Before and after the beginning of autumn, the magpie will usher in the hair change period and grow feathers suitable for warmth in winter. At this time, the magpie will look slightly embarrassed than usual, as if it is stepped on and bald. This also made people believe that these days when the magpies disappeared were to help the cowherd weaver meet.

After walking for ten meters, Liu Rada suddenly whispered, be careful of the dense forest by the road. After careful observation, he softly called the classmates, "There is a carnivorous bird!" The wind blows grass. I saw a brown white and black bird stopped between the trees and the police looked around. According to Liu Rada's judgment, this is a brown backride, a kind of carnivorous bird, has a beak -like beak, and has a fierce temperament.

"Who can win the brown backplay and the magpie?" Some students raised the problem of the sky, which caused everyone to discuss. Many classmates believe that the combat power will be better than the brown backrial to eat meat. Liu Rida said with a smile that although the magpie is a omnivorous animal, it is also a "one hegemony in the birds". They even grab the food of the brown back to the uncle, oppress the small raptor, and the combat effectiveness is very sturdy.

After the natural bird watching, the students have drawn what they have seen into natural notes. The birds in Li Yan, who were studying in Yucai Elementary School in Wuhan City, were beautiful and very special. She said: "I drew many colors of the magpie's tail, reflecting that the magpie tail is both black and metallic luster."

Under the leadership of natural mentors, the students observed several wild birds such as brown back labor, night heron, black water chicken, and turtle turtle dove.

In 2022, Wuhan Youth Wetland Research Activities were hosted by Wuhan Garden and Forestry Bureau, Wuhan Education Bureau, and the Communist Youth League Wuhan Municipal Party Committee. The aim is to do a good job of natural science, and the public, especially the youth, is widely established.
