Bird Battle

Danger!

Very dangerous!

“Chichi!”

The little peacock reacted quickly and hid under the male peacock's tail, but its short tail still felt a sudden pain.

However, this was not because he was caught by his natural enemy, but because he was stepped on by his own father who was in shock and didn't react in time.

It screamed and turned its head to look, only to be horrified to find that the colorful feathers that it had taken such good care of were actually broken by the male peacock's kick. There was even a small colorful feather lying alone on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.

Little Peacock: ...

ah! !

Its feathers!!

"oh!"

The male peacock realized belatedly that the cub had come to seek shelter, and he immediately raised his neck and shouted loudly to drive away the invader.

The giant bird that tried to attack Ajin was a raptor.

Adult green peacocks are considered large among birds, and under normal circumstances, birds in the sky do not pose a threat to them.

But young peacocks are different.

In the eyes of these overlords of the sky, young peacocks are just delicious dishes. Once they grow up, they will be hard to catch.

pity……

The prey is very alert.

call out--

Seeing that the first attack missed, the big bird flew away without hesitation, looking for its next target.

"Whoa whoa!"

The male peacock glared for a long time, and only when he was sure that the black spot in the sky had gone away did he think it was safe. He moved the tail screen, signaling the little peacock inside that it could come out.

Originally, the male peacock was somewhat pleased with himself, thinking that his heroic performance would surely impress the cub, who would circle around him in admiration and intimacy. However, he did not expect that just as he signaled safety, he felt a prick on his claws.

Looking down, the cub was pecking at its paws viciously.

Male peacock:?

He took a few steps back in confusion, and the little peacock stumbled after him, continuing to chatter.

Male peacock: ? ?

no.

Rebellious phase arrived?

Narrator:

"Although he is loved by his family, he may occasionally encounter danger."

"After all, he was spoiled. Even though the injury was caused accidentally when he was protected, he still got very angry."

The audience saw it clearly and almost died of laughter.

[Damn it! As expected, the biggest danger to children is their own father! ]

[Hey, it's just a minor injury. ]

[(Serious face) These are little feathers! These are the colorful little feathers that Jinbao has to groom ten times a day on average!]

[I am dying of laughter, hahahaha, what a huge blow this is to a narcissistic little peacock! ]

Of course, the male peacock cannot understand the little guy's delicate emotions.

All it knew was that its cub seemed to be in a unilateral cold war with it.

The cubs avoid it wherever it goes. The main character is rebellious and sulking.

Male Peacock: ...

This was also the first time for it to be a father, and it had no idea about the psychology of its cubs.

Just hide, it doesn’t matter if it goes a little further away.

But the problem is that the male peacock plays a guarding role in the small family. Without his protection, the female peacock, who is more timid and sensitive, will find it difficult to protect the little peacocks when danger comes.

So, the accident happened.

A cluster of feathers that looked like a head of adobe hair swayed slightly in front of the camera, and people knew who was coming at a glance.

"grumble."

Sure enough, it was the little peacock Ajin again.

But today it didn't come here to show off, but to check whether the small feathers on its tail have grown well.

Ever since his father stepped on his beautiful feathers a few days ago, the little guy would go straight to the big tree where the infrared camera was located every time he came to the woods to relax and rest, and then twist his tail to check the condition of his feathers.

"Oh, poor thing."

The monitor behind the camera pretended to feel distressed for a moment, and jokingly complained to his colleagues: "Ajin has a bad temper. Just because of this matter, he ignored his own father for several days."

Another monitor happened to be watching the footage from another camera position.

In the past, it was impossible to capture the green peacock in the camera, but now it is hanging down a beautiful colorful feather screen.

——In order not to be despised by his cubs, the male peacock specially ran to a big tree dozens of meters away to rest. It can be said that this is very humble.

"Hahaha, but we also gained a lot." The colleague replied very easily, "In just two months after Jin was born, we obtained more imaging data than in the previous six months."

Not only did he let the parent birds pass by the camera, but he also took the initiative to record the changes in their growth, enriching the scarce record of green peacocks.

"But...will this be dangerous?"

After sighing, the monitor looked at the small figure swaying in front of the camera and became worried for no reason: "A raptor almost caught Ah Jin before. Now that she is so far away from the male peacock, it must be a bit dangerous, right? What if a natural enemy from land comes?"

She was just saying it casually, but she didn't want it to become a prophecy.

Moreover, it happened right under their noses.

"Ji~?"

In the camera, the little peacock raised its head in confusion, looking left and right, as if it had noticed something.

"oh--!"

The female peacock outside the camera was screaming loudly, as if calling the male bird in the distance, or as if reminding the little peacock to run away quickly.

The picture shook, and the aho hair that symbolized the little peacock hurriedly slipped out of the camera.

Limited by the fixed perspective, people were unable to see what was happening in the forest, and they became very anxious.

"Quick! Are there any camera shots from other angles? What happened?"

"Did the peacock move? Did he go back to protect?"

"Ahhh, nothing can happen! Nothing can happen!"

After a while, a figure walked slowly in front of the camera.

hiss……

People in the reserve gasped.

That is a beautiful leopard.

In nature, medium to large carnivores such as tigers, leopards, and jackals are the natural enemies of the green peacock.

If they are not frightened by the male peacock's bluffing spread of its feathers, the fate that awaits the peacock family will not be optimistic.

But something was wrong; they hadn't seen this leopard in such a long time.

Cats have their own fixed territories. After monitoring for so long, they can be sure that there are not many large carnivores in the Green Peacock Reserve. This is one of the reasons why this group of green peacocks dare to stay in this area peacefully...

So, where did this leopard come from? !

No, no, no, there is no time to think about a leopard of unknown origin. The key is what happened to the green peacock they are responsible for!

Just looking at the current footage, people feel a little relieved - the leopard doesn't have anything in its mouth, and probably no peacock was harmed.

However……

When it was evening, when people finally saw the vigilant green peacock couple again in the camera, they did not feel happy, but only felt suffocated and panicked.

Because there was no chirping little creature at their feet.

——The little peacock got lost in the chaos!!

rustle.

As night fell, the little peacock hiding in the pit struggled hard, using its tiny wings to dig out the soil, and finally saw the light of day again.

“Chichi!”

After cheering once or twice for finally gaining freedom, the little fellow looked at the gloomy environment around him, suddenly became quiet, and shrank his neck, as timid as a quail.

Where is this?

Why aren’t the parent birds here?

During the day, when the female peacock warns of danger, the little guy will run away obediently, trying to cover himself and move towards the direction where the male peacock left.

Although they were still in a cold war state, the little peacock was obviously sensible. It knew that only the parent bird could protect it here, so it escaped very fearfully.

However……

"grumble!"

Unexpectedly, the little peacock ran to a place where fallen leaves gathered, intending to hide there for cover, but he didn't expect that there was a hollow ground underneath, and he fell in with a crash before he could even scream.

The pit is not deep, probably only half the depth of the parent bird's leg, but it is still quite difficult for a two-month-old peacock to get out.

Especially now the situation is special.

The little peacock heard many footsteps and even the familiar threatening voice of the male peacock. He originally wanted to flap his wings and run away, but now he was trembling and dared not move. He was so nervous that even when he was sure that it was quiet outside and wanted to go out, he was scared back by the movements of other animals in the forest.

It was not until night, when the forest was quiet, that it crawled out.

As a result, the parent bird disappeared.

"Jiying..."

A weak cry seemed to be echoed by other animals in the forest. The frightened little peacock immediately shut up and buried its head back into the fallen leaves, with its tail sticking out, completely unaware and not daring to move.

What now?

The forest is so dark, it is scared QAQ

Narrator:

"Everything has its origin. He paid the price for his previous willfulness and was separated from his family in a dangerous secret realm."

"For a young person like him, there are dangers everywhere in the secret realm."

The audience went crazy.

[Uh ...

[Damn it! What's wrong with a child being a little willful? Why should a little peacock be made to endure this! ]

[Off topic, the little peacock is so cute with its head buried in the leaves, and its tail is still trembling, just like a little ostrich deceiving itself...]

[Damn it! You are indeed cute, but you are so heartless! ]

[Someone will definitely come to rescue it. After all, it happened in front of the camera during the day. The people in the reserve can’t help but help the little peacock when they see it in trouble! ]

People really do want to help.

But the problem is, they don't know where the little peacock is.

A fragile young peacock may encounter too many dangers when alone in the forest. It is entirely possible that it will be eaten by a predator before it can enter the mountains fully armed.

Even worse, although the leopard's mouth was clean when it passed by the camera, the little peacock was so small after all, it is not impossible that it might have been eaten up by its natural enemy in such a short time.

In short, it's more bad than good.

ah!

It's driving me crazy.

They cannot interfere too much with the laws of nature, except to rescue within their sight and ability, so they can only watch such hunting behavior.

And now I don’t know what to do.

...I had a heart attack.

The monitoring room was in a gloomy state, and people's faces were dejected. They could not accept that the little guy who was so lively in front of the camera during the day had left them like this.

But at this moment, things took a turn for the better.

"grumble."

In the infrared camera lens that recorded the growth of the little peacock over the past month, a young feather crest that people are all too familiar with suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

Someone shouted: "Quick! Find someone to go to the mountains!!"

Although the green peacock couple did not seem to have given up on their young, the direction they were searching in clearly deviated from the actual location of the little peacock. If the novice couple were to rush to find the little peacock themselves, it would only increase the risk. It would be better for them to ensure the safety of the little peacock tonight and then find an opportunity to send it back to them.

At least, the survival rate is definitely higher than if they do nothing!

They quickly notified the rangers and the villagers in charge at the foot of the mountain, and the group hurriedly found a way into the mountain.

With its neck shrunk, the little peacock hid under the tree where the infrared camera was, humming and not daring to move.

It was actually a little hungry.

There was nothing in the pit. It pecked for a long time but only caught one or two small insects, which were not enough to eat.

But finding its parent birds is the most important thing now, so it can only suppress its fear and look everywhere.

It was a little dark in the forest, and the little peacock didn't dare to call. He could only search for a long time like a headless fly. After finally finding a slightly familiar place, he quickly ran over and hid, waiting silently.

Chirp...

In the cub's memory, the parent bird often brought it here to rest at noon, so if it waited here until dawn, it would definitely be able to find the parent bird.

But in fact, the female peacock is not very fond of this piece of woods. It is only because the little peacock prefers the infrared camera on this tree that she often brings it here for a walk.

Now that it has been frightened by its natural enemies on land and separated from its only chick, it is still unknown whether the female peacock will think of coming here to look for her little peacock.

So, people came at the right time.

Swoosh——

"grumble!"

The little peacock suddenly felt a faint light and thought it was dawn. He looked around and chirped expectantly.

However, everywhere else I looked was still pitch black, with only a faint white light in front of me.

Getting closer and brighter.

grumble……?

The little peacock hesitated.

When it saw many tall figures coming towards the source of the light, it panicked, shrinking its neck and backing away step by step.

Until it reached the tree trunk with no way to retreat, the little peacock panicked and subconsciously lifted up its small tail dotted with a few colorful feathers and spread its tail on the spot.

It, it, it’s so fierce!

Don't come over here!

Little peacock: Touch my tail, don’t eat me QAQ
