7/9

    We wake up early to go bird watching. There are many bird in Meifeng farm. I have heard some songs before, but I totally forget what kinds of the bird made them. Today I learn that Taiwan Yuhina can make songs like” nice to meet you!” and its name just named by its sounds. The Taiwan Sibia sing songs like” Happy new year”, and the brown-flanked bush warbler, the most interesting one, can make the songs likely to say ”you, come back!” in Chinese. I was so surprised that the size of birds are not big, but they all can sing loudly.

    After breakfast, we walk around the Meifeng farm and see many kinds of flowers and plants. We ask the tourguide “is this edible?” for almost every plant. The tourguide told us the difference between the Taiwan Cryptomeria and Japanese Cryptomeria. The leaf of the Taiwan Cryptomeria was harder, and the shape of the tree was like a Christmas tree.

    In the afternoon, after we have the lecture, we harvest the sugar beets. The taste of the sugar beets was like a root! We add some pineapples, apples and sugar beets to make juice. It taste not bad in my group, because we add few pieces of sugar beets and add a lots of pineapples. After drinking the juice, we went to the lavender garden. I love the small there! Someone has told me that the lavender could make people relaxing, and it can function as the medicine for muscle sour. 


"is that edible?"

This is the leaves of  China Knotweed. The leaf on the left with a little spot was less bugs biting, and the leaf one the right side has holes by bugs biting.The pattern of the spot was like the hurting marker, it make the bugs do not want to eat. This is the way that the plant protect itself. 

Cynthia love the tiny toad.

                                           The brown-flanked bush warbler sing songs" you, comeback" in Chinese.    

The group to make juice.Taste not bad!
