Thanks to efforts by the government and citizens of Beijing to
protect the local environment, more migratory birds are enjoying
their seasonal stay in the city.
According to experts from local wild animal protection stations,
thousands of wild birds like terpsiphone, bombycilla garrulus, cissa
erythrorhyncha, anas platyrhyncha and apus apus, which are mostly
seen in mountain forests, have found their new homes around local
lakes as well as parks.
To attract more migratory birds, local governments and residents
have installed more than 65,000 artificial nests in trees and on
buildings.
