Chapter 26 The Bird is Running Away

"Since we are here to find out about the animals in Feiniao Park, we can't come empty-handed. I'm buying them with my own money as a token of my appreciation." Even if he is asking the animals for help, Lin Ting likes to reciprocate.

The little animals can’t help for nothing.

Zhao Ke fell silent instantly.

As soon as I entered the Bird Park, I saw a girl wearing a red vest and a short ponytail walking towards me. "Xiao Zhao, why are you here in the Bird Park when you're not in the Flamingo Park?"

"Sister Li, you've heard about the flamingo attack. We checked and found that the flamingo attacked people because its cub was missing. Since our two parks are close to each other, I came to check out the situation." Zhao Ke took the initiative to explain.

The administrator, known as Sister Li, looked suspiciously, "Do you suspect someone from our Bird Park stole your cubs?"

Zhao Ke noticed the other party had misunderstood and quickly spoke up, "Sister Li, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. We don't suspect you of stealing the flamingo chicks. We've checked the surveillance footage and it turns out it was our own park staff who stole the chicks."

"The cubs haven't been taken out of the zoo. We suspect the thieves hid them somewhere else. Aren't you the closest? We thought we'd come over to check on the situation."

Sister Li put her hands in her coat pockets and said, "It's unlikely they're hiding in our park. We check every day after closing and before opening. If there are other animals that have sneaked in, it's impossible not to find them."

"Will there be someone left to guard the park at night?" Lin Ting asked.

Sister Li gave Lin Ting a suspicious look. Zhao Ke explained, "Sister Li, this is Lin Ting, the veterinarian we just hired from outside our zoo. It was Miss Lin who discovered that the flamingos were attacking people because they had lost their cubs."

Sister Li shook her head. "After we've finished feeding the babies, we won't have anyone here to guard them at night. Most of our staff live in the zoo's staff dormitories, so if there's any problem, it'll be very convenient for them to come over. Unless there's a special situation, like during the incubation period, we'll have someone on duty."

"Sister Li, can we go in and take a look? Don't worry, we won't do anything else but simply communicate with these little animals." Lin Ting asked the administrator for his opinion.

"Come in." Sister Li personally led Lin Ting and Zhao Ke in.

Unlike the flamingo area, the Bird Park has many different kinds of birds. To prevent them from getting lost, the entire park is covered with a net, just like a dragnet. It can prevent the birds from flying away and also allow them to climb on it.

Further inside is the indoor viewing area.

The sun is high in the sky and noon is the hottest time of the day. Not only do tourists not want to stay outside, but even small animals prefer to stay indoors in air-conditioned rooms.

The bird park is mainly populated by parrots and larks.

The most precious is the white crane, an endangered species that has been separately designated for protection.

The white crane is also an iconic animal in the Bird Park, and many tourists come here for the white cranes.

Parrots stood on a suspended horizontal wooden frame, their heads tucked between their wings, dozing. Lin Ting stood in front of a macaw and took the initiative to greet it, "Hello."

The macaw's feathers were mainly fiery red, and its wings were also mixed with gold and blue, giving it a particularly layered look. As Lin Ting's voice rang out, the macaw opened its eyes and said, "Hello."

'fool. '

Parrots are much smarter than other birds. If they are carefully trained, they will have no problem learning to speak like humans. Smarter parrots can even learn a lot of words.

'Stay away from the bird, stupid bird.'

After scolding Lin Ting, the macaw kicked the cockatiel that came over.

"Rubbing, rubbing, rubbing, every day you come here, and all the feathers are rubbed off by you stupid bird. At night you pluck the bird's feathers to fill your own nest. You have feathers of your own but you don't pluck them, you just steal the bird's feathers."

"If you steal a bird's feathers again, the bird will run away from home."

After hearing the macaw's thoughts, Lin Ting turned to look at the breeder standing beside him, "Sister Li, are all these parrots kept together at night?"

Although Sister Li didn't understand why Lin Ting asked this, she still told the truth, "They are all together. The lark is afraid of being bullied by the parrot at night, so it lives alone."

"Doctor Lin, is there something wrong?"

"Haha, you're worried about the little one getting bullied, but you're not afraid of the bird getting bullied. The bird will also have to live alone, and all its cute feathers will be gone."

"If the stupid bird steals it again, it will become bald."

Lin Ting coughed lightly and said, "Sister Li, have you noticed that this macaw's feathers are not as lush as those of other parrots?"

When talking about this incident, Sister Li couldn't help but sigh, "We found out. We sent him to the animal hospital for examination, but we couldn't find the cause of the hair loss. We even checked his bed and food, and later even checked for allergens."

"Not only have we not found the cause, but the shedding is getting worse. Luckily, it's all below my belly, so it doesn't affect my appearance too much."

"Later we all suspected that the macaws had plucked their feathers themselves, but healthy male parrots don't pluck their feathers themselves. Only female parrots pluck their feathers to build nests and prepare for hatching their chicks."

"But this macaw looked healthy. Even if it plucked its own feathers, we couldn't find where they were."

"Doctor Lin, have you figured out something?" Sister Li waited eagerly for Lin's answer.

"Only fools are mentally unhealthy, birds are perfectly healthy."

"Why don't you look somewhere else? You'll never find any bird feathers."

"Birds are not fools. They would not be so foolish as to pluck their own feathers, which would only affect their appearance."

Lin Ting tapped his fingers on the wooden fence in front of him. "The macaw is in excellent physical and mental health."

"Then what's the matter with hair loss?" Sister Li asked.

"It's not shedding, it's the cockatiel next door who secretly plucked it out at night to build a nest."

Lin Ting organized his words and explained, "The cockatiel was preparing to lay eggs, but didn't want to pluck its own feathers to affect its appearance, so it plucked the feathers of the macaw to build a nest."

'That's right, that's right.'

Upon hearing this, Sister Li was shocked. In contrast, Zhao Ke and Bai Xi were much calmer. After all, they had seen Lin Ting's abilities.

Sister Li was stunned for a long time before finally reacting. "No wonder I couldn't find the reason why my macaw was losing his feathers. I couldn't even see the feathers he was losing. I could only see his belly getting thinner."

“I didn’t expect it to be stolen.”

"Thank you, Dr. Lin, for helping me answer my questions and resolve my doubts." Sister Li looked grateful.

'Damn it.'

'You can actually hear the bird's thoughts.'

The macaw rolled its eyes and stared at Lin Ting with a shocked look.

He could confirm that he hadn't said anything just now, so he complained in his heart.

The macaw spread its wings and flew onto the railing in front of Lin Ting, rubbing Lin Ting with its beak.

"You are not a fool, you are a great judge."
