园中守则Park Rules
这些不是客套的提醒。公园是这些生物真实的家，我们只是路过的客人。These aren’t polite formalities. The park is these creatures’ real home; we are just passing guests.
不投喂No feeding
面包和米饭会让鸟类营养失衡，也会让它们聚集、失去觅食能力。园中鸟类完全能自己养活自己。Bread and rice leave birds malnourished, and make them crowd together and lose their foraging skills. The park’s birds can feed themselves perfectly well.
不采摘No picking
摘走一朵花，等于取消了一次结果的机会。十大功劳和络石的枝叶还带有刺或毒性乳汁，请勿触碰后入口。Picking a flower takes away a chance for fruit. Chinese mahonia has spiny leaves and star jasmine has poisonous sap — don’t touch them and then put your hands to your mouth.
保持距离Keep your distance
如果鸟停止进食、频繁抬头看你，说明你已经太近了。退后几步，它通常会回来。If a bird stops eating and keeps looking up at you, you are already too close. Step back a few paces and it will usually return.
不用闪光灯No flash
强光会短暂致盲，对在暗处育雏的鸟尤其危险。用长焦或干脆只用眼睛看。Bright flashes cause brief blindness, which is especially dangerous for birds raising young in dark places. Use a zoom lens, or simply use your eyes.
不驱赶、不播放鸟鸣No chasing, no playing birdsong
用手机播放鸣声会诱使鸟以为有入侵者，白白消耗它保卫领地的体力。Playing calls from a phone tricks birds into thinking there is an intruder, wasting the energy they need to defend their territory.
走在路上Stay on the paths
踩进草丛会压坏地被植物，也可能惊动在地面活动的乌鸫和白颊噪鹛。Stepping into the undergrowth crushes ground-cover plants and may startle the blackbirds and laughingthrushes foraging on the ground.
