Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was bitten by an emu-like bird that he tried to feed while in quarantine at the presidential palace here, a media report said.
一家媒體報導,巴西總統雅伊爾.波索納洛被一隻像是鴯鶓的鳥類咬了,當時他在總統官邸度過隔離期,並試圖餵食(牠)。
On Monday, Bolsonaro complained of his "horrible" isolation, saying he "can’t stand this routine of staying at home". Later that day, he took a stroll around the Palacio da Alvorada in Brasilia and decided to feed the birds.
週一,波索納洛抱怨他「糟糕的」隔離生活,聲稱他「無法忍受一直待在家裡」。當天稍晚,他在位於巴西利亞的總統官邸晨曦宮散步,並決定餵食幾隻鳥。
One of the flightless birds, called a rhea, "pecked" at the President. The rhea is distantly related to ostriches and emu.
其中一隻不能飛、被稱作鶆䴈的鳥,「啄」了這位總統。鶆䴈與鴕鳥、鴯鶓有很遠的關聯。

「與動物互動已經是波索納洛的消遣活動之一」,刊出一系列照片,公開戴著口罩的波索納洛總統餵食一群鳥,之後快速地抽回手的畫面的報紙媒體指出。
