An artificial breeding center in northwest China's Shaanxi Province recently had its first crested ibis chick hatched this year.

最近，中國西北部陜西省的一個人工繁殖中心今年孵出了第一只朱鷺。

After naturally hatching in a cage, the baby bird emerged from its shell on March 25 in the breeding center of Yangxian County, the provincial forestry authorities announced Monday.

3月25日，省林業主管部門宣布，在籠養的天然孵化后，幼鳥從洋殼出現。

The period from March to June is the breeding season of the crested ibis. Enough sunshine and rising temperatures are decisive factors of the spawning time of the bird.

3月至6月期間是朱鷺的繁殖季節。充足的陽光和升高的溫度是鳥類產卵時間的決定性因素。

At present, there are 22 pairs of crested ibises in the feeding center, eight pairs have laid eggs, according to the staff at the center.

據中心工作人員介紹，目前飼養中心有22對鳳頭，有8對產卵。

Until the discovery of seven wild crested ibises on May 23, 1981, in Yangxian, the birds, once common in Japan, China, Russia and the Korean Peninsula, were thought to be extinct in the wild.

直到1981年5月23日在陽縣發現七只野生族群，直到日本，中國，俄羅斯和朝鮮半島常見的鳥類才被認為在野外滅絕。

Since the discovery, the local government of Shaanxi has set up reserves, carried out bird banding, bred the birds in captivity and released them into the wild.

自發現以來，陜西當地政府已經建立了保護區，進行了鳥類綁扎，將鳥類圈養并將其釋放到野外。

About 2,500 crested ibises live in Shaanxi with their habitat covering around 14,000 square kilometers.

約有2,500只鳳頭鸚鵡住在陜西，棲息地面積約14,000平方公里。
