Shoebill Key Ring 鞋嘴鸛鑰匙鏈




 This bird is very interesting. It stands still without any motion for hours beside the stream to catch a fish. After coming to a zoo, it doesn't worry about food and moves freely.

Terrible heat waves are attacking many countries now. Be careful not to suffer from heat stroke and dehydration. 
在三伏中,注意中暑和脫水。

  2. Nice key chain and info on the bird changing its behaviour when in a zoo. I imagine that is true for many animals.

  5. That's a lovely key ring, representing an interesting bird (shoebill)!
    Thanks for the advice regarding heat and dehydration.

  6. It is a long-lived bird, it lives 50 years. Its reproduction is threatened because these birds are characterized by rejecting their chicks at birth.
    Thanks for your advice but here we are on winter break. In my blog you will see how we are doing

  12. Good key ring with the bird. Winter here, no snow as it doesn't snow where I live but can snow in the mountains sometimes but not always.

  13. A nice looking key-ring.

    It is important to stay hydrated in the very hot weather.

    All the best Jan

  14. Bird looks nice. Yes it's been hot in Oregon and now there's fires in areas. I saw some smoke when I left work today but looks like it's gone. 100 degrees F on Friday and Saturday and much cooler today 86 degrees. You stay cool, happy and hydrated as well! Take care1

  15. Nos Zoos ainda que estes sejam importantes meios de preservação de algumas espécies, nunca se conseguem reproduzir completamente as condições naturais... e as condições ideais. Pelo menos o aspeto positivo é a ave, não ter mais preocupação de alimento! Acho que nunca vi tal ave, por estas paragens... mas gostei de a ver no porta-chaves.
    Sobre ondas de calor, aqui em Portugal temos tido sucessivas desde Maio... e o nosso país está em seca profunda! Praticamente há um ano que chove pouquíssimo!
    O clima está a alterar-se por todo o lado, a um ritmo inimaginável! As alterações climáticas já não serão um problema das gerações vindouras... são um problema bastante grave já no presente!
    E os incêndios nunca que aproximaram tanto dos meios urbanos, como este ano, e em vários países da Europa. Há umas semanas, tive um bastante próximo da região onde habito. Até deixei imagens no meu blog.
    Um grande abraço! Saúde para si e todos os seus!
    Feliz Agosto!
    Ana

  20. I think the bird looks annoyed to be tied to a key ring .... I think he likes to be free, to look for fish :) Yes, it's very hot in London. I don't like it at all. In a heat-wave, a city is not the best place to be.
