After listening to Fang Ye's explanation, the tourists turned their attention to the red-crowned cranes, looking for the ones bowing their heads, searching for food in the water.
In the deep-water area, the surface of the water could submerge their hind feet, while in the shallow area, it was just ten centimeters deep, revealing the underwater mud.
A red-crowned crane in the shallow area had its neck bent like a snake and hanging down. It placed its beak into the silt, slowly rotating its head to stir up the mud, then smacked its beak twice as if chewing.
This red-crowned crane, with its head lowered, walked forward while keeping its beak in the silt, leaving behind a winding, shallow trail.
It stamped its feet twice with a splash, then lowered its head to draw circles again.
Fang Ye said, "The lake is stocked with small shrimps, which are also a main food for the flamingos! There's also shrimp skins, fishmeal, and cornmeal made into flamingo paste.
