A netizen in Bazhou found a "cute" on the roadside. It looked like a mature little persimmon from a distance. What kind of animal is this? Have you seen it?
According to Bazhou netizen Mr. Feng (pseudonym): At 1:30 noon on January 26, I saw a bird I had never seen before on the roadside of Taishan Road in the development zone, squatting on the withered yellow grass. It is a rare orange bird that looks like a ripe little persimmon from a distance, very cute. At first I thought the little bird was injured and squatted on the ground motionless. When I slowly approached, the little bird seemed to have discovered me and turned around with a jump.
This is a bird with light gray feathers on its head, black neck and back, black wings mixed with white feathers, and bright orange chest and abdomen, which is very rare. I took out my phone and quickly took a few photos. Before I could get a closer look, it flapped its wings and flew away. I scanned the image to see what kind of bird it was. The image reader recognized that this bird was highly similar to the Helan Mountain Redstart, which is a nationally protected animal. The Helan Mountain Redstart's habitat is in high-altitude hills and valleys, and it also appears in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places to overwinter.

Regardless of whether we protect animals or not, I think we should protect them. Wild animals are an important part of the natural ecosystem, and protecting ecological balance is our responsibility. If you encounter such cute little birds on the road, please don’t disturb them and just watch them from a distance.
In recent years, the ecological environment of Bazhou has been significantly improved, and more and more wild animals have appeared in people's sight. While the environment is getting better, I also hope that each of us can make our own efforts in the future to jointly protect the environment and protect wild animals.
