布農族聖鳥 - 紅嘴黑鵯
紅嘴黑鵯 英文名:Black Bulbul 布農族語: hibis
活動於中低海拔(約寶山的海拔),全身為黑色,喙與腳呈現紅色,身長約24至25公分。
布農族一直都對一種鳥類相當敬畏,並且尊為聖鳥,這種鳥就是 – 紅嘴黑鵯,這始於一段傳說故事。
布農族一直都是定居在高山的民族,在很久以前,有一次大洪水氾濫,族人們只能一直往山上逃命,過了幾天大洪水終於停住了,但是因事情發生的太突然,慌張逃命所以什麼都沒有攜帶,族人們都挨餓了很多天,也沒有火種可以生火煮食物。就在這個時候有位族人發現對面有一座山,山頭上狼煙四起,於是猜測對面山上應該有住著人家,並且想請求他們的幫助。但橫在兩座山中間的洪水並未消退,沒有人敢貿然涉水而過。
在那個時候,人跟動物是可以互相溝通的,於是這時癩蝦蟆就挺身而出願意為族人們橫渡洪水,牠游阿游的到了另一座山頭,也順利的拿到了族人們所需要的火種,開心的游了回來,但火種卻被水浸濕徹底的熄滅了。
就在族人們絕望之際,紅嘴黑鵯站出來了,牠飛越了洪水到達對面的山頭,用嘴巴叼起了火種,因為火種高溫,嘴巴叼紅了就換腳抓,嘴巴跟腳都被燒紅了還是不放棄,就這樣耐著高溫順利把火種送至族人們的手上。順利的拯救了布農族並讓他們繼續的活了下去。
直到現在紅嘴黑鵯都是布農族最尊敬的鳥類。不可以打更不可以射殺,不然家裡的房子會被火燒掉。而布農族在路上看到癩蝦蟆也不會打,只會輕輕的趕走就好了,因為曾經牠也曾冒險拯救族人。

Bunun’s sacred bird - Black Bulbul
Black Bulbul (Bunun: hibis )
Lived in low height
Body all black only claws and beak are red.
About 24~25 centimeter long.
Bunun always admire a kind of bird. They regarded Black Bulbul as their sacred bird. Maybe someone wondering why? It was started from a story…
Bunun lived in high mountains for a long time. Once the flood water covered the whole area, all houses were destroyed. People escaped hastily from their home. They came to the top of the mountain and the flood finally stopped. But the problem was because of the unexpected flood they didn’t bring anything can eat with them. ALL of the people starved for many days. No one brought kindling so they couldn’t make a fire. At that time someone saw smoke in the mountain opposite to them.“ Maybe someone out there can help us” they thought. But nobody had courage to cross the river.
At this time “toad” made the decision to be the volunteer. People could talked to animals in that time. He swam quickly to the mountain and got the kindling. The things seems went swimmingly. But when he crossed the river again, the kindling got wet and never make a fire again.
People all felt depressed and don’t know what could they do next. At this critical moment, Black Bulbul stepped forward. It flew through the mountain and caught the kindling by its claws. But the kindling burned its claws into red because it was too hot. So Black Bulbul held the kindling in its beak. It never gave up till it returned. And its claws and beak all burned.
Because of the Black Bulbul and the toad’s help Bunun could survived. Till now, Black Bulbul still respected by Bunun. They won’t hurt them otherwise your house will burn.
As for the toad, Bunun won’t hurt them just like Black Bulbul. Because they saved Bunun’s ancestor,too.

傳說故事 (II) - 與犬之間的情感
Bunun’s Folklores (II) -The Relationship with Dogs
布農族一向都很珍惜與狗之間的感情,而且多數布農族家中會養狗。在早期的時候因為需要狩獵,所以打獵的時候習慣帶著家中的忠犬一起狩獵。而布農族與狗之間也相傳著一個動人的故事。
相傳有一天,有位獵人向平常一樣帶著一把刀子,帶上自己家中的狗一同出發前往深山打獵,就這樣一路走著走著,爬到了山的最高處這時卻發現他的獵犬沒有跟上,獵人一開始也不以為意,覺得這條路走過那麼多遍他的獵犬應該會隨後跟上。但是等阿等的過了一兩天他的獵犬卻還是沒有出現,想說會不會牠先回家了呢?但是當他回到部落卻得到失望的答案。
於是傷心的獵人決定再順著原路走一遍,一路上發出(嘟嘟嘟)的聲音想要喚回牠的獵狗,就這樣子一路走到了山頂但始終沒有再看見牠。於是傷心的獵人就化做一隻鳥,長年守候在山頭上等著牠的獵犬歸來。直到現在都還能在山上聽見這種鳥類的嘟嘟嘟叫聲呢。相傳這就是當年的獵人還依然在喚著牠的獵犬。
現在布農族人家中多數依然會養狗,因為土狗忠心而且顧家。

Bunun always cherish their relationship with dogs. Most of them keep dogs in their house. Because they used to hunt with their own dogs in the early stage. And there is a touching story between Bunun and dogs.
A long time ago, a hunter brought a knife and his dog with him to go hunting like usual. He walked smoothly, when he arrived at the top of the mountain, he suddenly noticed that his dog was missing. He didn’t take it seriously because he thought his dog knew the road maybe the dog would catch up soon. He waited for two days his dogs still missing. “Maybe my dog was already went home ”the hunter thought. So he went down the mountain quickly. When he back to his village he couldn’t find his dog. He felt really sad and decided to climb the mountain again to find his dog.
On the way, he always speak “du-du” as a signal. But when he came to the top of the mountain again he still couldn’t find his dog. In this time the sadness hunter became a bird and the bird always standing on the tree and also speak “du-du” to wait the missing dog.
Even now most of the Bunun still keep dogs in their house. Because they always look after their family and loyal to them.
