More than half a month ago, local villagers discovered a Hainan bittern chick in the Shibanhe Scenic Area in Lianjie Town, Weiyuan City, Sichuan Province. It was later sent to Neijiang City for rescue by forestry and other departments. As one of the 30 most endangered birds in the world, the Hainan bittern is so rare that it is called "the most mysterious bird in the world." According to media reports, the Hainan bittern is a bird native to China, with only about 1,000 in the wild, which is rarer than the giant panda. Therefore, it is listed as one of the 30 most endangered birds in the world. On May 10, the Weiyuan County Public Security Bureau of Sichuan Province reported that a few days ago, the local Lianjie Police Station successfully rescued a Hainan bittern baby bird.

It is understood that the reason for releasing it was that the natural resources and planning department found the Hainan bittern's nest, parent birds and another chick at the site where the chick was found.
