Guess who just moved into a beautiful lotus pond? 🌸🐦 It’s the pheasant-tailed jacanas, also known as the “fairies of the ripples”! These amazing birds have settled at Xianghu Wetland Park in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province.
Pheasant-tailed jacanas are special birds with long toes that let them walk on lily pads and floating plants. It’s almost like they’re walking on water! How cool is that?
People sometimes call them “water phoenixes” because of their graceful movements and beautiful tail feathers. They’re under second-class national protection in China, which means they’re important and we need to take care of them.
The fact that these birds have chosen to make their home in the lotus pond shows that the environment at Xianghu Lake is healthy and getting better all the time. It’s great news for nature lovers and a reminder of how important it is to protect our wetlands.
