An Australian Pelican feast that lasted more than two decades

Why are you so focused? It turned out that the pelicans were all waiting to eat fish with their heads up, hahahaha! In the Central Coast area north of Sydney, there is a beautiful and famous town called The Entrance, which has the title of "Australian Pelican Capital". What makes a town so honored? The reason is these cute toucans.

Every afternoon, the pelicans fly here from near and far, and there are no obstacles 365 days a year. As soon as 3:30, a staff member will push a large box full of fish to the small square where the pelicans gather, and the pelicans have long been eager to wait.

This white-haired grandpa came to feed today. I saw the grandfather skillfully put on rubber gloves, while taking a fish out of the box and throwing it at the pelican, he interacted with the onlookers and introduced the knowledge of the pelican. The noise of the pelicans competing for the fish and the exclamation of the onlookers crowded into one, the atmosphere was warm.

A clever pelican sneaked into the box holding the fish while the grandfather didn't notice. After being discovered by the grandfather, he rebuked a few times, and had to stand obediently waiting for the grandfather to feed. The scene was too warm. . In order to please the audience, the grandfather occasionally threw fish near the auditorium, and the pelicans would stretch out their mouths and rush to grab the food. The audience close to them was frightened and laughed.

Some children see the big pelican, they are both loved and scared, they want to touch the big bird, they will be scared by the big bird's interaction, cover their faces, scream in surprise, and attract a burst of laughter from the adults. The pelicans are really cute and not afraid of people. They also like to walk around in front of the audience, just like the generals of the inspection team.

Before the fish in the old grandfather's hand was thrown out, the pelican hiding behind him bit his whole hand with his big mouth. The audience was screaming again and again. The grandfather did not blame him. He told the pelican that he had something to say, and could not steal food from behind. The scene was so warm. You can observe the condition of the pelican when feeding it. Sometimes the pelican will be entangled with fishing hooks or fishing lines. If you find it, you can help them get rid of these deadly things.

Feeding the pelicans only lasts for just 30 minutes every day, and a few large boxes of fish are fed in a while. The pelican spent a happy time with tourists, both the pelican and the audience seemed to be overwhelmed. Watching Australia's largest birds at such a close distance is really fun.

Speaking of the cause of feeding the pelican started from decades ago. At that time, the boys who worked in a fish and chips shop would feed the pelican with fish and shrimp that could not be sold in the shop every day after work. Later, the store was bought by another owner and renamed Jimbo Seafood, and continued to feed the remaining fish and shrimp to the pelican every day.

So in the pelican world, they passed around ten times, and at the same time every day, they swayed across the road to "request" fish and shrimp to eat. 1996
In 1949, the town simply built a pelican square by the lake, and instead fed pelicans in the pelican square. From then on, 365 days a year, the town will have a certain amount of fresh fish to feed the pelicans, and the time is fixed at 3:30 pm.

The pelican feeding scene is spectacular and magical, and the town is also famous for this. Hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every year to see the pelican feeding scene. The wealth brought to the town is given back to these lovely ones. Toucan. In this way, The Entrance Town has become Australia's famous Internet celebrity.

We may be able to produce plastic with carbon dioxide someday

Due to the overuse of humans, there are now about 8 billion tons of plastic waste piled up on the surface and in the ocean. It is no wonder that plastics have been in poor reputation in recent years. But the importance of plastic is also unquestionable. The invention of plastic revolutionized life in the 20th century. It is durable, versatile, and hygienic. Such materials are almost non-existent in nature. If there is no plastic, we will never create records, tapes, film, etc. Naturally, we will not be able to record music, film, or develop modern medicine. Auto parts, light aircraft materials, satellites and spacecraft also rely on plastics, and global travel and space exploration are possible, not to mention computers, mobile phones and a wide range of networking technologies. Look around, if there is no plastic, our life will be difficult. Despite the importance of plastics, the disposal of plastics has always been a tricky issue. Not only that, but the source of plastic is...

《菊与刀》――解读日本人

第一章 任务―研究日本 由在美国曾经全力以赴与之战斗的敌人中,日本人的脾气是最琢磨不透的。这个强大对手,其行动和思维习惯竞与我们如此迥然不同,以至我们必须认真加以对待,这种情况在其他战争中是没有的。我们正如前此1905年的沙俄一样,作战的对手是一个不属于西方文化传统、而又充分武装和经过训练的民族。西方国家所公认的那些基于人性的战争惯例,对日本人显然是不存在的。这就使得太平洋上的战争不仅是一系列岛屿登陆作战和困难卓绝的后勤工作问题,从而使了解"敌性"成为一个主要问题。为了与之对抗,我们就必须了解他们的行动。 困难是巨大的。自从日本锁国的大门被打开以来的七十五年间,对日本人的描述总是使用一系列令人极为迷惑的"但是,又……"之类的词句,远非对世界其他民族的描述可比。一个严肃的观察家在论及其他非日本民族时,是不大会既说他们彬彬有礼,又加上一句说:"但是,他们又很蛮横、倔傲。"他也不会既说该民族无比顽固,又说:"但是,他们又极易适应激烈的革新";也不会既说该民族性格温顺,又说他们不轻易服从上级的控制;也不会既说他们忠诚、宽厚,又宣称:"但是他们又心存叛逆,满腹怨恨";也不会既说他们勇敢成性,又描述他们如何怯懦;也不会既说他们的行动完全出自考虑别人的评价,即自己的面子,又说他们具有真诚的善良倾慕西方文化,又渲染他们顽固的保守主义。他不会既写一本书讲这个民族如何普遍爱美,如何对演员和艺术家给予崇高荣誉,如何醉心于菊花栽培,又另外写一本书来补充说,该民族崇尚刀剑和武土的无尚荣誉。 然而,所有上述这些矛盾却成为有关日本论著中纵横交织的经纬。而且,都是千真万确。刀与菊,两者都是一幅绘画的组成部分。日本人生性极其好斗而又非常温和;黩武而又爱美;倔傲自尊而又彬彬有礼;顽梗不化而又柔弱善变;驯服而又不愿受人摆布;忠贞而又易于叛变;勇敢而又懦怯;保守而又十分欢迎新的生活方式。他们十分介意别人对自己的行为的观感,但当别人对其劣迹毫无所知时,又会被罪恶所征服。他们的军队受到彻底的训练,却又具有反抗性。 了解日本既已成为美国的当务之急,我们就不能对这些矛盾以及其他许多同样令人烦躁的矛盾置之不理了。严重的事态接二连三地出现在我们面前。日本人下一步将采取什么行动?能否不进攻日本本土而获致投降?我们是否应该...
