climb the observation deck on the 45th floor of Tokyo Metropolitan Building, commanding, which is the best place to overlook Tokyo. I was busy filming, but to spoil the fun, a group of crows broke into my lens from time to time. Since then, crows have been seen flying through the air in Tokyo many times, and from time to time, they have issued bursts of cymbals (? U not) crow noise in the ear. According to the measurement, there are 36,111 crows in Tokyo at most! However, it is difficult to define the "crow in Tokyo", because Japanese scientists, after putting a radio transmitter on the crows to track them, found that most crows that linger over Tokyo during the day fly to Shennai (nài) Kawasaki Prefecture or Chiba Prefecture outside Tokyo to rest at night. Can such crows be regarded as "crows in Tokyo"?
Crows settle in Kanagawa and Chiba, which are good "home environment"-lush forests, and fly to Tokyo for work every day, which is a "free restaurant" rich in food. Tokyo, with a large population, produces a lot of domestic garbage every day, especially the leftovers of so many restaurants in Tokyo. ēn? ) Leftovers are the food of crows. The more the food stinks, the more greedy the ravens who prefer to eat scavengers are. Tokyo collects garbage in the morning, so every household piles garbage bags on the street, and crows also catch the "early shift" to fly to downtown Tokyo, peck through the garbage bags with sharp beaks and enjoy "delicious zhuàn". After eating, take a walk among buildings in Tokyo. Anyway, there are no eagles and falcons in Tokyo, and people are also very friendly to crows, so crows are full of "security" in Tokyo. It was not until dusk (m: I) that the crow "got off work" and flew back to the outer suburbs to rest. Osaka is used to collecting garbage late at night, and crows there are changed to "night shift".
After radio tracking, scientists found that there were real crows in Tokyo besides crows who went to and from work in Tokyo. For example, some crows "sleep peacefully" in Tokyo's famous Meiji Jingu at night, while "eat" in nearby Shinjuku kabukicho (jid and n? ), because there are more than 31 tons of domestic garbage produced every day, which is enough for crows to eat and worry. There are also "crows in Tokyo" with green trees in Tokyo parks (wěn? Yu) to build a love nest. These "crows in Tokyo" are not tired on the way to and from work, but more leisurely (zāi), broad-minded and fat. Therefore, when people shuò up the characteristics of "Crow in Tokyo", they are classified into three points: large quantity, big mouth and fat.
to be honest, I don't like crows very much. This is not because people in China have always regarded crows as "fierce birds", but because they are black and harsh and hoarse.
the most important reason why crows are allowed to be unscrupulous is that the Japanese regard crows as "auspicious birds", "divine birds" and even "national beasts" in Japan. The Japanese Football Association adopts the pattern of Eight Zhi (zhǐ) Wu as the emblem, and the jerseys of Japanese players participating in the World Cup are embroidered with Eight Zhi Wu, which is a three-legged crow. Japan's respect for crows can be traced back to Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan. According to Japanese ancient books, during the crusade, Emperor Jimmu entered the forest around Kumano, Wakayama Prefecture and lost his way. The gods sent Bazhiwu to guide him, cracked the maze and walked out of Xiongye Mountain. Since then, the Japanese have regarded crows as divine birds.
crows in Japan are extremely clever. It is said that crows have bigger heads, so they are considered as "high IQ" among birds. For example, in the "cement forest" of Tokyo, it is difficult to find dead branches for nesting. The crows actually took a fancy to the wire drying rack on the balcony and took it as the "pillar" of the nest, and added it with "specialties" in the city, such as plastic bags and cigarette filters, to build a very warm and "Tokyo characteristics" new nest.
Japanese love crows, but crows are "arrogant". The Japanese always love cleanliness, but crows are in the air (zēn? ) Bright cars, balconies full of flowers and even beautiful clothes, mercilessly throw (zhi) "smelly bombs"-that foul-smelling excretory (xiè). When crows pecked through garbage bags and rummaged for food with their beaks and claws, they threw the garbage in a mess and then walked away. The ravens, who had been full of food all day, attacked women and children (rú) for no reason, and even attacked pandas in Ueno Zoo.
Crows are very fertile, and more and more crows have brought many troubles to Tokyo residents. Tokyo has finally set up a "crow countermeasure specialist" to deal with crows. According to the current level of science and technology in Japan, it is easy to eradicate the "crow plague" in Tokyo. However, the "crow countermeasure specialist" only took off a batch of crow nests and disposed of a batch of crow eggs, but it was immediately strongly protested by the Tokyo Animal Protection Association. Because of this, crows are still hovering over Tokyo in batches, becoming a special landscape of this highly modern metropolis.
