Bird Battle

A Jin temporarily took over the task of incubating eggs from the parent bird.

Fortunately, it has been very curious about the female bird's incubation process all this time, and every time it would follow closely and observe carefully how the other bird found the right position to lie down. Otherwise, if it just sat down casually now, it would probably kill all its unhatched brothers and sisters.

"Whoa whoa."

The sub-adult green peacock called out a few times in curiosity, looked around at the warm nest beneath it, moved its buttocks, with curiosity in its eyes, but did not take the strange sound that scared away its parent birds to heart.

The audience was almost dying of laughter when they saw this unexpected move.

[Oh my god! How did Jinbao go up there by himself? ]

[Wow, how come the movements are so natural? If you don't know, you would think it's another female bird taking over.]

[Male, male mother? Jinbao is just a child! ]

[Hahahahaha, Jin Bao has been squatting next to you for so many days, right?]

In addition to the audience who were there for fun, there were also those who noticed something was amiss.

[Something is wrong... Although the female peacock is very sensitive during this period, she was not scared away in the previous times, and this time the male peacock also flew away. Is there any danger? ]

[Is there a natural enemy? A leopard or something? But the female peacock has clearly gone to a very remote place to hide and lay eggs! ]

[Hiss, this is terrifying when I think about it. Could it be that the babies in the same litter as Jin Bao also died in this way? ! ]

[Ahhh, this is so dangerous! Jinbao, why don’t you run away first? ]

The narrator actually said:

"Growing up carefree until he was a teenager, he always thought his family had no enemies."

"Until one day, at a crucial moment in the family's development, he encountered an accident."

Enemies? Accidents?

These few words made the audience suddenly nervous, and they wanted to call for someone to come and protect the sub-adult green peacock that was hatching eggs in the picture.

However, during the breeding season, green peacocks will choose to lay eggs in a more secluded place than their original territory. There are no infrared cameras in this place at all, not to mention that green peacocks will most likely choose to escape directly when encountering danger, and will not think of running to the camera to call for humans in the protected area.

So the audience can only pray that at least the flying little peacock can escape from the so-called "enemy".

"oh--?"

In the picture, A Jin, who was originally looking at the wonderful touch under his body with curiosity, suddenly raised his head and stared straight in a certain direction in the forest.

What shocked and angered all the audience was——

What slowly walked out from the overlapping tree trunks was not a tiger, leopard, jackal or wolf as they thought, but a human.

They were obviously not staff members of the nature reserve, nor were they villagers cooperating with the patrol team.

They didn't have any red tags on their arms, and they looked wary and evasive, glancing around from time to time, as if to make sure there were no cameras recording their whereabouts.

When they found that there was a green peacock guarding the nest here, they were stunned for a moment and whispered:

"What happened? Weren't you scared away?"

"It seems that there is a family that is quite bold and not afraid of people..."

"We finally found a nest, let's see if we can scare it away?"

They walked a few steps toward the "female peacock" that was incubating eggs, threw stones near it, and played infrasound, but none of them could scare it away, or even make it move.

A Jin:?

What are you doing?

It was a little surprised, and it looked at the facial features of the few people carefully, trying to remember them, and would go down the mountain to play with them after the breeding season.

For a green peacock that has seen the world, these mild threats from humans certainly cannot scare it.

The caring attitude of the reserve staff had already ingrained into the bird's heart. On several occasions when it begged for food too much, the keepers would pretend to drive it away. Having seen and heard such things, A Jin was extremely sure that these two-legged beasts would not dare to really hurt it.

This is also true.

For peacock eggs, which have an already low survival rate, this group of people still have some room for maneuver, but for the grown green peacocks, the loss of one will alert the nature reserve, so they only dare to intimidate but not actually take action.

“Damn it.”

Not daring to stay in the mountains for too long, they could only curse inwardly and leave temporarily.

A crisis was resolved quietly like this.

A Jin had no idea of ​​the danger that had just occurred, but the audience knew it very well and were incredibly angry.

[Ahhh, are these people here to steal eggs? ? Scare away the mother bird and then steal the eggs? ? Bastards! ! ]

[Are you sick?! The wild population of green peacocks is already very small, and they are interfering with the normal reproduction process of others. Jinbao’s previous nestmates must have been killed by them. Damn these people!]

[I was just sighing at how nice the environment here is, but I didn't expect there are people like this... How did they get up the mountain? How did they avoid the camera? Are there any traitors besides them? ? ]

[It's so dangerous. I don't know why Jin Bao wasn't attacked, but if Jin Bao was also scared away, wouldn't this year's nest of little peacocks be gone? ]

[Hiss, although, they definitely didn’t just target Jin Bao’s family, what about the other green peacocks in the mountains? ! ]

Regarding the last question in the barrage, the narrator spoke meaningfully:

"He is gifted and had an experience of accidentally entering a strange land in his early years, which allowed him to escape danger easily and temporarily protect his immediate family."

"Before this, he had actually communicated with his peers at a grand gathering and shared some of his own insignificant experiences."

"Maybe they can survive this crisis with this?"

A grand gathering...

Share your own experience...

The audience's brains froze, and they tried hard to recall and think, and finally realized that the narration was probably referring to the scene at the blind date where A Jin annoyed the other little peacocks and they ran back to their mother.

They thought it was just a fun plot, but they didn't expect it to be a foreshadowing?!

However, with the narration's words, they felt a little more at ease, and they calmed down by admiring the sub-adult male peacock incubating eggs obediently in the picture.

“Crash——”

After a while, the two parents of the egg finally remembered and flew back in a hurry. They thought they would suffer the same tragic fate as last year, but they did not expect that there were 6 intact peacock eggs lying under their big son's butt.

The female bird was shocked.

After counting them carefully and moving closer to feel them, it was even more surprised to find that the cubs were still alive!

This discovery made the female bird's gaze instantly burn with heat as she looked at her big son.

What a big boy!

It really is worthy of being its cub!

A Jin was still completely unaware of this, which paved the way for her tragic experience of being dragged by her biological mother to hatch eggs from time to time.

The crisis here is temporarily over, and the camera turns to other groups of green peacocks deep in the forest.

There, there are many female peacocks hatching the next generation.

They hide under big trees, dig holes in the grass, cover them with soft leaves and weeds, and begin a month-long incubation process.

Compared with the solitary pairs of green peacocks outside, they have several female birds working together to incubate the next generation, so their safety index and survival ability should be stronger.

However, when faced with fear, they are not as capable of protecting the peacock eggs as the sub-adult cubs like Ajin, who are not afraid of humans.

"ah--!"

Replicating what happened to Ajin's family a few days ago, it started from an unknown moment, but first a sensitive female peacock was frightened and screamed.

Then the second one couldn't sit still anymore, and the third one started looking around. Finally, the pressure reached the critical point, and they just stood up and ran away.

The sub-adult cubs following them were also panicked, and most of them ran away following their parents.

Only a very small number of birds, for some unknown reason, did not run away with their parent birds, but instead ran in another direction of the forest.

"strangeness……"

In the monitoring room, someone keenly noticed that something was wrong.

A green peacock appeared in the camera, which should have been a happy thing, but for some reason, he seemed to see some fear in this sub-adult cub.

Did something scare it?

The monitor frowned and contacted the patrol team at the foot of the mountain: "Can you please go up the mountain again?"

"Someone is coming!"

Lao Zhuang's hand shook and he almost dropped the peacock egg in his hand.

"So soon? Haven't we already patrolled today?"

"Who knows what they are doing? Hurry up, we have to go back quickly."

Lao Zhuang muttered a few words: "I know."

Looking at the seven peacock eggs in the nest in front of him, he reached out and took away the four rounder and larger ones.

The people around him were a little surprised: "You took more than half, you have a dark heart."

"Tsk, they don't know how to hatch, and they'll be scared away at any time. It's better to let the hens hatch, which is more stable. It's good enough to have three of them left." Lao Zhuang curled his lips with disdain, "Only professionals like us can raise them well, it's cheap and high-yielding!"

"Are you planning on letting Lan come over to mess around again?"

"No, blue blood is cheap. Even if the eggs are better after mixing, the price will be lower..."

After a few words, the few people quickly covered up their traces and fled the scene along the mountain path.

After a while, a group of female birds, who had suppressed their fear, slowly returned to their original place under the cover and guidance of the male birds.

Because the patrol team came suddenly, they only had time to attack two nests, and another more hidden nest was not targeted.

But the corresponding female bird is not very happy either.

After being away for too long, some eggs have become inactive.

It felt it carefully, broke open the inactive eggs and ate them to replenish its energy, then returned to its nest, hanging its neck in a daze.

Even though it was like this, the unlucky female bird whose more than half of the peacock eggs were taken away in one go was even more depressed.

When I left, there were still seven eggs here.

It nodded its head, but no matter how many times it counted, there were only three eggs in the nest.

In fact, two of them have become inactive.

The most unfortunate female bird was reluctant to throw away the two inactive eggs, but pretended not to feel them and nestled on them. During this time, she used her sharp beak to reach down and adjust their position so that they could be completely covered by the temperature of the mother's body.

It continued to incubate the eggs, but its neck was much lower than it had been at the beginning.

Audience: …

[Ahhhhh I exploded, die to all these people!!]

[Help, help, my blood pressure is rising! ]

[I am so upset. I think the last female bird is going to be depressed. This bitch is so cruel.]

[MD also said that green peacocks are easily frightened. If you didn't scare them, would this happen? Damn it! ]

[Mixed blood? So the blue-green peacock from before was probably created by them? ? Ahhhh damn it! ]

The public was outraged, but the audience heard some good news in subsequent developments.

Because they had seen sub-adult peacocks behave in a panic on multiple occasions, the staff at the nature reserve held an emergency discussion and thought there might be something unusual in the mountains, so they decided to send a team to conduct irregular patrols.

Of course, they will determine the buffer zone based on the location of the camera points to avoid disturbing the green peacock population as much as possible.

This formed an invisible deterrent to the group of egg thieves who were suspected to be in collusion with the patrol team. They were unable to act as arrogantly as before during the following period of time. The remaining group of green peacocks were thus spared.

But this is far from enough -

The audience was heartbroken.

[Eggs! There are still many eggs in their hands! ]

[Is this considered selling rare items? Shouldn't this be sent in? ? ]

[Ahhh why didn’t the camera capture their faces? I want to send them to the police station! ! ]

Although the camera didn’t capture the face——

But Ajin did take note of it.

It seems like the world is about to end

I originally wanted to write about an owl based on the top vote, but it feels a bit awkward to have two worlds with birds, so how about writing about a police dog in the next world (two worlds for cats and dogs!), probably an urban B king (?), a very unfamiliar subject, but I think it's quite interesting if I convert it. If I were to write about a German Shepherd police officer, maybe? Or any other police dog recommendations?
