世界上最醜的鳥:出生即被父母拋棄

Kea parrot chick Nelson, who must surely be a contender for the ugliest bird in the world, was rejected by his parents after he hatched, the Daily Mail reported.

一隻名爲尼爾森的小啄羊鸚鵡一出生就遭到父母遺棄，因爲它醜的都可以參評“世界上最醜陋的鳥”了。

Nelson was born last month at Bergzoo in Germany. He was the only one of the three eggs laid by his mother to survive and hatch, but was promptly rejected by his parents.

據英國《每日郵報》報道，尼爾森於上月在德國貝爾格動物園出生，它是母鸚鵡所產的三顆卵中唯一倖存並孵化成功的，沒想到卻立即被父母拋棄。

The youngster is now being cared for around the clock by staff and spent the first four weeks of his life in an incubator.

過去的四周裏，這個小傢伙一直住在保育箱裏，受到工作人員24小時的照顧。

Keas are large parrots native to the alpine regions of New Zealand. Adults are mostly olive-green with a brilliant orange flash under their wings.

據悉，啄羊鸚鵡是生活在新西蘭高山地區的大型鸚鵡。成年啄羊鸚鵡通常全身橄欖綠，翅膀底下卻有一道亮亮的橘紅。
