Sparrow has enough of his lover

麻雀'嘮叨'遭伴侶'家暴'

Bird watcher Urs Schmidli from Switzerland captured a perfect picture, showing how a lovers' tiff between 2 sparrows ended abruptly when the male bird rudely took matters into his own claws and clamped his female friend's beak shut, the Daily Mail of London reported Tuesday. "Sparrows mainly have little squabbles over food. But in this one shot it really looked like the male had just had enough of the nearby female's cheeping and decided to try and quiet the din down." Schmidli said.(See photo)

據英國《每日郵報》27日報道，瑞士鳥類觀察家烏爾斯·吉米德利拍攝到有趣一幕：一對麻雀發生"爭吵"，公麻雀粗魯的用爪子堵住伴侶的嘴，讓嘰嘰喳喳的母麻雀"閉嘴"。吉米德利說："麻雀很少為食物爭吵。但是在這張照片中，公麻雀看起來像是受夠了伴侶的'喋喋不休'，決定讓它安靜下來。"(見圖)
