When spring comes, especially in the mountains and forests, you will hear birds singing "coo", "coo" and "coo" in the forest. Because we don’t know the name of this bird, we can only hear the sound. Therefore, this bird was named Cuckoo. So, what kind of bird is a cuckoo? Let’s take a look with the editor!
What kind of bird is the Cuckoo?
The "Cuckoo" is the pearl-necked turtle dove. The ruffed dove, also known as the eagle, robin, medium-spotted, spotted dove, pied-necked dove, pearl dove, spotted-necked dove, pearl-necked dove, spotted beetle, is a species distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the vast areas of southern China. Common Turtle Dove.
When taking off, there is a unique "puff" sound of rapidly flapping wings. When a male calls a female, he makes the sound "gu (short)-gu (short)-gu (long)". When he woos the female, he makes the short and continuous "gu-gu" and "gu-gu" sounds, and pecks at rice like a chicken. Yelling and nodding.
The pearl-necked dove is the most common wild pigeon-like bird in eastern and southern China, commonly known as "wild pigeon". The body length is about 30 centimeters, similar to the size of a pigeon. The whole body is brown, with a slight pink stain from the neck to the abdomen.
The most eye-catching thing is that the sides of its neck are black and densely covered with white spots, like many "pearls" scattered on the neck. This is the most striking feature of this species, so it is named. The turtle dove is named "Pearl Neck".
However, this pearl spot is only found in adult pearl-necked turtle doves, not in young birds (in addition, there is a subspecies in India that does not have "pearls"), and the color of young birds does not exist either. As bright as an adult bird.
