What animal is the king of birds?

Peacock, known as the "King of Birds" and "Lucky Bird" in ancient China, is the prototype of Phoenix. The peacocks we usually see in the zoo are actually not native to China. Peacocks in zoos are basically blue peacocks originating in India, while Chinese peacocks are called "green peacocks", which are less in number than giant pandas and are extremely precious wild animals.

Green peacock is a large bird, belonging to passerine peacock, with a body length of 1.8 to 2.3 meters. It is also called "Dragon Bird" because it has scales and feathers similar to those of Longlin around its neck. Once widely distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places in China, it is now only distributed in Yunnan Province in China.

Brief introduction of green peacock

The green peacock is a flightless bird, and likes warm weather. Its habitat is tropical monsoon forest. They are kind-hearted, timid and cautious, and can live in harmony with their animal neighbors. They live in the same clan with cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens, fighting and laughing, like a harmonious family.

The villagers in Longshu Village still remember picking up peacock eggs and taking them home to hatch hens. A lonely male peacock, holding his neck, looked around among the chickens, dragging his heavy feathered tail back and forth. When he heard the cock crow, he crowed, too. The voice of "whoa, whoa, whoa" was soon completely drowned out by the loud voice of "Gao, whoa, Gao, whoa, whoa", which made the rooster very embarrassed.

In fact, the male peacock does not want to attract hens, but yearns for mountains and freedom. Moonlight filled the yard, and the green peacock left the chickens and flew to the pomegranate tree in the yard alone, crying sadly and unable to sleep for a long time.
