用力拍打你的翅膀!(Slap your wings hard!)

世界各地已知约18000种鸟类。鸟类的形状、大小、颜色和行为多种多样,使它们成为地球上最多样化的动物群体之一:从雄伟的老鹰到今天的小雪翅之星,一只白血病的安娜蜂鸟。这些蜂鸟通常颜色鲜艳,但白细胞增多意味着它们的色素沉着减少,导致脸色苍白。与白化鸟类不同,这些蜂鸟在眼睛中保留了一些颜色。它们较浅的羽毛减少了保护性伪装,使它们更容易受到猎鹰和野猫等捕食者的侵害。

About 18000 bird species are known around the world. Birds come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and behaviors, making them one of the most diverse animal groups on Earth: from majestic eagles to today's Little Snow Winged Star, a leukemia Anna hummingbird. These hummingbirds are usually brightly colored, but an increase in white blood cells means that their pigment deposition is reduced, leading to a pale complexion. Unlike albino birds, these hummingbirds retain some colors in their eyes. Their shallower feathers reduce protective camouflage, making them more vulnerable to predators such as falcons and wild cats.
