Swallow, I believe that many people love birds. Ancient and modern, for presentation Swallows are rarely negative.
From the zoological point of view to assess, Swallow is a beneficial bird, but also migratory birds, it is beneficial to humans, can prey, such as mosquitoes and other pests. Yan Yan's nest of the rich in nutrients and is throwing; as swallows, as migratory birds, the annual Martin returned habits, so that even a very romantic tuk swallow the small creatures, as ancient and modern poetry of many magnificent chapter an important role.
However, according to a report in the latest port-o Gao show: the number of swallows on the land in Hong Kong is already reduced year by year, maybe a few years, a child who wanted to see this has a scissors-type tail, attitude lightweight, strong and vigorous, audible chirp pleasant little cute, but also very difficult.
Why?
Of course, an urban development, naturally there will be pluses and minuses. With the increase in urban population, environmental noise, air pollution, high-rise buildings springing up like towers, the former suitable for swallow nests, relocation, child feeding the old buildings become less and less, old poetry, "beams are Shuangyan, Innocent Steps male and female, "the scene, and today has been difficult in the city witnessed.
Moreover, because of avian flu a few years ago penetrated, so that the city be greatly threatened public health, the Government will vigorously promote the public is urged to avoid contact with wild birds flying, this way, a few old houses can also be found before the return of the annual Martin The Yanxia Yanchao, some people have been destroyed; even a small nest of life TWIST also not be maintained, while the mother-yan was flying around the whine, is the so-called "risk-free nest eggs will survive", the human for its own health and safety, also then refused to take any of the poetic.
In fact, the swallow is a kind of rigid-flexible and have the cute birds, it looks flexible and light, like a pair of scissors-like tail, fly the same as in the flexible garments tailoring; however, their annual southward migration of the northern resettlement across the thousand Hill 10000 water, withstand storms, and never lost; this kind of personality, if we humans can have, then, be nice ah!
I remember thirty years ago, I often holding small children, stood an old house Yanxia neighborhood, pointing they watch the swallows, understanding nature, say a number of swallow the story to the children to listen to; but now I am holding grandson, has been and then brought back the annual Martin returned with the King of the situation.
