Six years ago, China decided to choose its national bird. Now, six years has passed but the national bird hasn't been chosen. What's the problem? In 2002, 36 deputies to the NPC recommended that Red Crowned Crane should be chosen as China's national bird. But it failed eventually just because of Red Crowned Crane's latin name "Japanese Crane". Are there any other candidates? Yes, Golden Pheasant and Sparrow. Thhose who support Golden Pheasant say that China looks like a golden pheasant on a map. So Golden Pheasant is the best choice. However, some netizens think that Sparrow is the best. Which bird is the best? Just give your vote.

Leopold219,I would like to know what your name here translates into. I have just joined and am wondering why you chose such a name,and just where in China do
you live. I have been reading your postings,and I am wondering where you have learned so much in your life time.You must be a middle aged or an old man to have
so much knowledge. As far as the Bird question,I havent the slightest idea which bird you have in mind. By the way,ho good do you understand English?

I thought that you already knew which bird I had chosen if you could understand what I wrote. What do you mean by saying "As far as the Bird question,I havent the slightest idea which bird you have in mind" ? My Englih is poor and I couldn't understand it.
