风筝, 风筝
a diamond shape frame covered with a paper or cloth with a string attached to it that can fly in the wind
A kite is a lightweight object, often made of fabric, paper, or plastic, attached to a string and flown in the air. It has a frame that supports the material, and it is designed to catch the wind, allowing it to soar. Kites have been used for thousands of years, originally for military, scientific, and ceremonial purposes, before becoming a popular recreational activity. To fly a kite, one holds onto the string and allows the wind to lift the kite into the air, controlling its movement by pulling or releasing the string. Kites come in various shapes and sizes and are enjoyed by people of all ages.

鸢, 长尾鹰
a small hawk with narrow wings and a long tail
A kite is a graceful bird of prey known for its soaring flight and distinctive forked tail. They have a slender body, long wings, and a deeply forked tail that helps them maneuver and change direction with precision. Kites can be found in various regions around the world, inhabiting a range of habitats such as open grasslands, savannas, and woodlands. They are opportunistic hunters, primarily feeding small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. Kites are adept at hunting on the wing, often seen circling high in the sky, scanning the ground for potential prey. Once they spot their target, they swoop swiftly, using their sharp talons to seize their prey. Kites are also known for their impressive aerial displays, acrobatic flights, and even mid-air courtship rituals.
