Woodcock, the slowest bird in the world, is the slowest bird in the world, flying at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Compared with the fastest bird, the sharp-tailed swift, it is very far away. It's just a sky and an underground, and there's no comparison at all. Although the groundhog can fly freely through the depths of the jungle, it feels so heavy and wobbly from a distance.
morphological character
Autumn snipe belongs to small and medium-sized birds. They are generally 35 cm long and slightly fat. Their feathers are mostly taupe with many stripes. The legs are a little short and the mouth is long and straight. It is said that there is nothing wrong with birds flying fast, but snipes belong to the kind of birds that fly slowly.
Living habits
They are widely distributed and the number is the largest in Eurasia. They mainly inhabit the humid and sunless mountains and forests. Sometimes they also appear in wet fields. I like to eat earthworms and insects, and occasionally eat some fruits and tender grass. Another thing is that they are timid. They don't come out to look for food and activities during the day, but only at night.
Breeding mode
The breeding period of snipe is usually five to six months. After breeding, the male will start looking for a mate and fly around. Their nests are generally about 15 cm, and each nest lays four to six eggs. The incubation period is generally around 23.
Demographic situation
Snipers are usually polygamous. Because the female snipe is particularly fertile, the population is large. They are distributed in Asia, Africa, Europe and many other places. Moreover, the number is also very stable, and there is no survival crisis of birds in general.
