没错儿,你带着那个头罩确实看起来头很大。这只松鼠可一点都不介意,它正忙着吧唧吧唧地吃它的花生和花生酱呢,这些东西就储存在这个形状怪异的喂食器里。
Yes, your head does look big in that. Not that this squirrel minded a bit, he was busy chomping away at the peanuts and peanut butter stored inside this unusually shaped feeder.
John Horne在南安普顿经营管理着一个自然保护区,他给里面住着的松鼠安装了这种喂食器,然后就等着松鼠们给他带来欢乐。
John Horne, who runs a nature reserve in Southampton, installed the feeder for the resident squirrels, sat back, and waited for the laughs.
很快一只好奇的松鼠就勇敢地把头伸进了这个塑料头罩里来,想要在里面找吃的。John和他的妻子Alison一边看着松鼠滑稽的动作,一边吃吃笑着。
Sure enough, a curious squirrel soon braved the hollowed out vinyl head to find the feast inside, giving John and his wife Alison the giggles as they watched his antics.
不久,三只松鼠就开始频频光临这个喂食器,他们非常乐意地接受给他们准备的美食,也给John和Alison带去了一丝欢乐。
Before long the feeder had three regular visitors who were only too happy to accept the treats inside - while proving a source of amusement for John and Alison.
来自南安普顿约翰今年67岁,他说:“一开始松鼠对喂食器有点警觉,不过很快他就发现里面放着花生,于是它就开始探头进去找花生吃。”
John, 67, from Southampton, said: "The squirrel was a bit wary of the feeder at first, but he soon realised there were peanuts inside and began poking his head in to get them.'
“看着松鼠在这么大的头罩里面找坚果吃,这真的很好玩。”
'It was really funny and looked very unusual to see a squirrel eating nuts from inside the huge head.
“这个新奇的喂食器让松鼠吃花生变得更加方便了。还有一些知更鸟也想吃这里的花生,不过它们可就吃不上了。”
'This novel feeder seems to make it much easier for the squirrels to access the peanuts. A pair of robins had tried to get to the peanuts but they couldn't manage to.'
南安普顿的这个自然保护区是英国一个十分重要的保护区,很多稀有的虫类就聚居此处。
The Southampton-based nature reserve is of national importance as it is home to a very rare colony of lesser glow-worms.
