Knowledge from experience: Liu Ko-hsiang's knowledge of birds comes from a long period of observation and thinking and, just as with his knowledge of history and geography, it comes from his travels and gathering of evidence. It is this that enables him to add a humanistic vision to the observations of the scientist in writing Pinocha the Plover.
劉克襄對於鳥類的知識來自於長期的觀察和思考，這和他對歷史和地理的知識也是來自旅行和蒐集一樣，因此他可以擁有比一個學生物的科學家還開闊的人文視野，他可以寫出《風鳥皮諾查》。
