戴胜（鸟）
an orange-pink bird found in Africa, Asia, and Europe, with a beak that curves downwards, a large crest (= feathers that stand up on its head) and black and white wings and tail
The hoopoe is a striking-looking songbird whose name is meant to imitate its strange whooping call. 戴胜是一种外形醒目的鸣禽，叫它这个名字是模仿它发出的奇怪高亢的鸣叫声。
