Detailed introduction
The avocet hummingbird, scientifically known as Opisthoprora euryptera, is a long-legged waterbird with a long, slender beak, similar to that of the sandpiper (II). During the breeding season, one female pheasant-tailed jacana mates with up to 10 males, with the males incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks.
It is listed in the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals of Beneficial or Important Economic and Scientific Research Value under State Protection" issued by the State Forestry Administration on August 1, 2000.
