Egret, also known as egret, is a kind of egret. This article refers to small egrets and medium-sized wading birds. Feathers are white, so you can wade to eat fish and shrimp. Egrets nest in large groups and have no defense ability. As a result, they are on the verge of extinction due to human overfishing. Later, people took strict protection measures, and the number of egrets increased.

Habitat in swamps, lakes, wet forests and other wetland environments, build messy nests on trees or shrubs, or build messy nests on the ground.
