What does Yuanyang look like? picture

Yuanyang: Yuanyang refers to the male bird and Yuanyang refers to the female bird, so Yuanyang is a compound word. It is a medium-sized duck of the order Yaniformes, which is between mallard duck and green-winged duck, with a body length of 38-45 cm and a weight of about .5 kg. As shown below:

The male bird has a red beak, orange feet, bright and gorgeous feathers, a gorgeous crown feather on his head, a wide white eyebrow pattern behind his eyes, and a pair of chestnut yellow fan-shaped upright feathers on his wings, which stand on his back like sails. They are very strange and eye-catching, and can be easily identified in the wild.

The female bird's mouth is black, her feet are orange yellow, her head and whole upper body are grayish brown, and her eyes are white, followed by a thin white eyebrow pattern, which is also very eye-catching and unique.

Extended information:

Yuanyang is a small swimming bird, and the center of the male's forehead and head is emerald green with metallic luster; The copper-red color on the pillow and the dark purple-green long feathers on the back of the neck form a feather crown. Eyebrows are white, wide and long, and extend backward to form a part of the feather crest.

The chicks are early-maturing, and the chicks are covered with down feathers immediately after the eggs are hatched. On the second day after hatching, the chicks can jump down from the high tree holes and swim and dive after entering the water.

When leaving the nest, the parent birds first "scowl, scowl" in the hole, and the sound is urgent and thin, which lasts for an hour. Then the parent birds fly out of the hole and fall into the water under the tree, and continue to sing. The chicks in the hole also chirp along with it, and slowly climb to the hole with sharp claws, and then jump into the grass under the tree one by one, and quickly run into the water and swim.

Yuanyang has a wide distribution range, which is not close to the critical value standard of fragile and endangered species survival (distribution area or fluctuation range is less than 2, square kilometers, habitat quality, population size and fragmentation of distribution area), and the population trend is stable, so it is evaluated as a species without survival crisis.
