是樹梢上的一朵小櫻花～ 自然界最美色號「粉紅小鳥」連變色也好特別
2020年12月20日日本一位鳥類攝影師（@claspaoni）拍到的粉紅小鳥照片曾在網路上引發熱議。這種小鳥身軀嬌小，身上披著粉紅色的羽毛，站在銀白色的雪地上就像一朵綻放的櫻花，美不勝收。這是什麼鳥呢？
▼原來這是「北朱雀」（Rosefinch），這種鳥是朱雀屬的一種，通常生活在亞寒帶地區。一般朱雀屬鳥類的羽毛都紅得非常鮮豔，北朱雀的羽毛卻偏粉色，看起來更夢幻。
▼朱雀屬共有27種鳥類，因為羽毛呈鮮豔的紅色而得名。牠們大多分佈在歐亞大陸，不僅有美麗的外表，還有動聽的歌喉。

▼朱雀屬鳥類體長約13到16cm，雌雄鳥顏色不一樣。雄鳥頭部和喉部大多是亮麗的紅色，雌鳥羽毛的顏色要低調很多。

If you hear them, they are there. All you gotta do is be patient and focus on your surroundings.

Birds don't expose themselves easily when they feel human presence, specially those birds that are found on such high elevations.

▼朱雀屬鳥類會吃果實、種子和花苞，也會吃一些小昆蟲。這種鳥非常靈活，想在野外拍到牠們的身影並不容易。

In the world of #birds most of the male species are colorful compared to their female partner.

One of the birds that impressed me recently in Qinghai was this Przevalski's Pinktail aka Pink-t Bunting & Pink-t Rosefinch, though the species is neither. It's a rather enigmatic & unique endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. @BirdingBeijing @SwarovskiOptik @RareBirdAlertUK pic.twitter.com/IGyQYh3u8A

朱雀屬鳥類羽毛艷麗、鳴聲悅耳，經常被抓捕成為觀賞鳥。但在大自然中自由自在飛翔、跳躍的鳥兒才是最美的，不是嗎？
