2. Different living habits

Some kinds of egrets have courtship performances, including showing off their feathers. Egrets nest in large groups and have no defense ability. As a result, they are on the verge of extinction due to human overfishing. Later, people took strict protection measures, and the number of egrets increased. Egrets are wading birds, which often prey on small fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and crustaceans in shallow water in swamps, lakes, humid forests and other wetland environments. Build messy nests on trees or shrubs or on the ground. Herons move in small groups in pairs, blend into large groups during migration and wintering, and sometimes live together with egrets. Often a person wades in the shallow water near the water, or stands still for a long time, with his neck bent between his shoulders, and often stands with one foot and the other foot under his abdomen, standing still for hours. When flying, slowly flap your wings, shrink your neck into a' Z' shape, keep your feet straight and drag them far behind your tail. At night, many groups perch on tall trees to rest.
