Jinjiang genuine 142
Nearly a hundred pigeons of different colors are scattered on the grass in front. They all have leg rings on their feet. Most of them are pure white, but there are also some with spots or stripes all over their bodies, or some are light gray overall with a metallic luster on their chests. There are many kinds of pigeons.
Without exception, they are all kept smooth and sleek, with plump feathers and streamlined bodies, and they are obviously good flyers at first glance.
They were now scattered in several areas, pecking at the grains scattered by tourists, making low 'cooing' sounds all the time, and even pecking at the hands of tourists, being very friendly.
After seeing this scene, Yao Bing was quite looking forward to it.
Come to think of it, she hasn't experienced this activity for a long time since she fed pigeons in the park two years ago.
The two men eagerly divided up the half bag of grain, took a few steps forward, scattered some around, and placed the other part in their open palms.
Pigeons are timid by nature. When the girls approached, they flew up in large numbers and landed on tree stumps and supports not far away. They tilted their heads to observe them, making cooing sounds one after another.
The other pigeons were still pecking at the fine grains not far away, unmoved.
Seeing that Yao Bing and the other man did not take any other action, the pigeon that flew away quickly flew back over.
A dozen pigeons shuttled back and forth around Yao Bing, their necks moving slightly as they walked, and then quickly pecked at the corn, peas, sorghum and other grains scattered on the ground. Sometimes two pigeons would flap their wings and fight with each other.
Three or four bolder pigeons slowly walked towards them. Yao Bing was delighted and lowered her hands, waiting for them to come and eat.
At this moment, a carrier pigeon with a purple metallic glow on its neck flapped its wings violently and landed on Yao Bing's wrist, scaring her.
Fortunately, I wore thick clothes and long sweater sleeves in winter, otherwise it would still be a bit painful if I was grabbed.
But this pigeon seemed a little different.
Yao Bing observed carefully and found that its body was more slender, the lines of being wide at the top and narrow at the bottom were exceptionally smooth, its feathers were dense and shiny, and its eyes in particular were bright and lively.
Although she didn't know much about the breed of pigeons, the one in front of her was obviously of extremely high quality.
Two other brave pigeons also came closer, tilted their heads, and then lowered their heads to peck at the corn and grains in her hand. Their mouths touched the palm of her hand from time to time, which felt a slight tingling sensation.
Yao Bing couldn't help but smile. Feeding like this really gave her a sense of accomplishment.
The pigeon standing on the wrist began to flap its wings rapidly, as if trying to drive away other competitors.
And Yao Bing discovered... a seal from its flapping outer wings?
When the other folded its wings, she carefully spread out the outer edge of its feathers with her hands.
It’s really a seal!
Each feather has a different stamp, including [Qualifying Round] [First Round] [Second Round]...
What does this mean?
Tan Shuangshuang also found two carrier pigeons with seals.
One of them seemed to have a slightly injured tail, and its flying direction was not very flexible, but it was very lively and the fastest in grabbing food.
Tan Shuangshuang touched its tail lovingly.
The beautiful pigeon with metallic green glitter cooed twice, pecked her finger gently to show affection, then spread its wings and flew to the wooden stake to rest and preen its feathers, looking very elegant.
"Hey, these ones with stamps should be racing pigeons, right?" said a knowledgeable tourist.
"Pigeons used for racing?" her friend asked curiously.
“Yes, my ex-husband was obsessed with this for a while, and he raised hundreds of pigeons, built pigeon sheds, trained them, and fed them, spending the money for a house.
It's impossible to win a prize, it's all a game for players who pay to play, but he won't listen no matter how much I try to persuade him."
"Pigeon racing is just like betting on horses and football. It's addictive. So before long, he became my ex-husband."
“Ah…” It was obviously the first time for my friend to know this, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm glad I got divorced then." The woman stroked the little girl's hair and watched her happily playing with pigeons, her eyes tender. "At that time, the family still had some assets, but now there is probably nothing left, all spent on the competition."
Pigeon racing first emerged in Europe and has been very popular in China over the past two decades. The prize money for public loft competitions can reach millions or even tens of millions.
The value of the winning racing pigeon also increased significantly, and was once auctioned for a sky-high price of 12.5 million.
However, this competition is extremely cruel to pigeons.
For example, in a 400-kilometer race, the racing pigeons have to fly for at least seven or eight hours before returning.
During the journey, you may very likely encounter bad weather, lose your direction due to magnetic field interference, be hunted by birds of prey, be captured by humans, and be unable to adapt to the wild environment.
In the end, out of the 1,500 pigeons that participated in the competition, only more than 100 were able to return, and the homing rate was less than 10%.
Most of the remaining 90% have difficulty surviving. A small number are adopted by kind-hearted people or released by the Pigeon Association, but some people may pick them up and stew them into soup (this is an illegal act of encroaching on other people’s property).
The owners of these pigeons that 'lose' in a race usually do not accept them because they are worthless.
Due to the establishment of the wild bird rescue station, Huajianji has recently received a lot of injured racing pigeons, all of which were the result of the public loft competition some time ago.
So Ye Han contacted the local pigeon association and asked the owner to come and claim the pigeon.
But high-end players are only interested in winning the competition and the prize money, and do not want these eliminated racing pigeons to take up their places.
Not to mention the money spent on their medical care, feeding and training, so almost no one claims them, and some people explicitly say they "don't want them anymore".
Ye Han felt heartbroken about this, but there was nothing he could do.
Although racing pigeons are trained high-quality pigeons with strong flying abilities, they are essentially still the product of artificial breeding. They are not wild and cannot be bought and sold at will.
All she could do was contact the people from the Pigeon Association to see if they would accept it.
After negotiation, Huajianji became a branch station for pigeon rescue, responsible for sheltering and rescuing nearby pigeons.
The Pigeon Association will provide certain technical support.
Since the construction of the bird house, Huajianji has rescued nearly twenty racing pigeons.
Some of them were just lost and exhausted and just needed to rest more; some were not seriously injured and recovered quickly with the treatment of professionals and are happily foraging with the flock.
Two were too seriously injured to be rescued.
Ye Han felt very sorry about this.
After their injuries healed, Ye Han originally planned to let them fly away, but the racing pigeons circled in the sky for a few times and then flew back again.
It means that he wants to stay in Huajianji.
The scenery here is beautiful, the space is vast, and the degree of freedom is high. They don’t have to stay in cages all the time. They also have luxurious houses, sufficient food, and the company of many friends, which can make them feel safe when living in groups.
In particular, the staff had rescued them and provided them with meticulous care.
Ye Han felt that homing pigeons were very intelligent. If their owners treated them well, they would try their best to fly back, even if they were injured.
However, if the relationship is average and the pigeon is abandoned, it will try to find a second owner.
She touched the female racing pigeon perched on her arm. The pigeon had very beautiful eyes and could tell at a glance that it was different from an ordinary pigeon.
It is said to have Belgian XX ancestry and is in good condition. The auction price at that time was tens of thousands of yuan.
Unfortunately, its owner didn't want it because its wings were injured, but he also felt like he was being wronged.
After negotiation, Ye Han bought it for 3,000 yuan.
In fact, the veterinarian has checked that the wings of this racing pigeon named 'Fino' have recovered well and there is probably no problem.
But for a long-distance flight of up to four or five hundred kilometers, no one can guarantee whether there will be any impact.
Anyway, Ye Han doesn't need it to compete.
It would be nice to keep such beautiful and spiritual pigeons in a bird house.
Maybe it will bring surprises to tourists.
Yao Bing and the other person saw the sign outside the fence, which was also a hand-drawn picture.
It shows a racing pigeon being swept up in the air by a strong wind, falling to the ground with its wings injured and dying.
Then he was taken home by a kind person.
But the kind-hearted people didn’t know how to help and were extremely anxious.
Notes below: Do not move around and feed the pigeons some clean water and food such as corn and peanuts.
Call the Pigeon Association as soon as possible: XXX, or contact Huajianji: XXX.
Huajianji Botanical Garden thanks you for your help.
Note: Each racing pigeon has an exchange and locator. Private possession is illegal. Please supervise each other.
From the rabbit illustration just now to the racing pigeons here, Yao Bing and the others can feel Huajianji’s heartfelt love for animals.
These animals are so lively, cute and contented because of the staff's love.
Just as I was thinking about it, another tourist exclaimed: "Look--!"
Yao Bing and his companion turned around upon hearing the sound, and saw the flock of pigeons that had finished foraging, taking off with the lead pigeon 'Fino', and the sound of their wings flapping could be heard one after another.
From their perspective, they can see the pigeons' white wings spread out on their backs and the scene of them flying into the air at the same time.
They looked up and couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow" along with everyone else.
Soon after, nearly a hundred pigeons began circling the area around the tourists.
In front are racing pigeons with shining feathers, and behind are large groups of pure white pigeons, flying at similar speeds in an orderly manner. The scene is extremely spectacular.
Yao Bing looked along their flight path. When they were far away from her, the leading racing pigeon was shining brightly, and the white carrier pigeons behind it were flying in groups like seagulls. However, in the blink of an eye, they came closer.
She couldn't help but look up and saw dozens of white doves flying over her head, so close that it seemed as if she could touch them.
Then, in the next second when she was slightly distracted, it flapped its wings quickly and flew away, leaving an arc-shaped trail.
So beautiful.
It was the first time she saw such a shocking scene.
Many tourists were taking photos to capture this rare scene.
'Fino' led the pigeons in circles in the air, and every time it passed overhead, tourists could be heard exclaiming.
Everyone's attention was drawn to them, and they marveled at the dreamlike scene as their figures kept moving.
The flock of pigeons flew around the area for more than ten times. Led by the lead pigeon, nearly a hundred pigeons landed in batches on tree stumps or supports to rest.
Some of them pecked at the leftover food on the grass, not wasting anything.
'Fino' stood on top of the tallest wooden stake, preening her feathers.
For racing pigeons, this amount of exercise is not worth mentioning.
Many tourists recognized it as the head pigeon.
There is no other reason, it's just too conspicuous.
"Ahhh, what a beautiful Gugu!"
"It's worthy of being used for competitions. The lines are perfect."
“What a handsome guy!”
“It turns out that pigeons can be so beautiful.”
"You have good eyes. You can tell the difference at a glance."
"I really want to touch it. The feathers look very smooth and plump."
"Fuck! His ability to control the situation is too strong! Not a single pigeon is left behind!"
"I've never seen such a scene before. Fortunately, I just took a picture of it."
Tourists excitedly gathered around to take pictures, capturing Fino's front, side, eyes, the way he combed his feathers, and the way he tilted his head curiously.
It felt like a group of reporters surrounding a beautiful female star with fanatical eyes.
Not surprisingly, another star animal is about to be born in Huajianji.
Yao Bing was so focused on appreciating the scenery that he didn't even bother taking pictures.
I don’t know if I will see such a scene in the future.
But she immediately realized, of course she could.
It may not work in other places, but it works in Huajianji.
It’s great to be able to feed the cute little animals for free and watch the pigeon flying show, right?
It completely exceeded her expectations.
Thinking of the soft dwarf rabbits, the cute little sika deer, the lovely squirrels... and the noble racing pigeons, I can't help but smile.
I am looking forward to the next trip more and more.
In front is the Peacock Garden.
Yao Bing: "I wonder if there will be a chance to see a peacock spread its feathers today?"
Tan Shuangshuang: "It depends on luck."
Yao Bing: "It really depends on luck."
I have the impression that sometimes several male peacocks spread their tails at the same time, and sometimes I waited for a long time but didn't see a single one.
I don’t know why.
In short, there is a lot of randomness.
But she felt that with Huajianji's strength, they should be able to see it, right?
It would be a pity if you couldn't see the peacock spread its feathers.
The two entered from the entrance, but they didn't expect the environment to be semi-open.
Yao Bing couldn't hide his surprise.
This is the first time I see a peacock garden without any protective measures.
Although the area is very large, aren’t you afraid that the peacock will run away?
Huajianji is really powerful!
However, because there is no iron mesh blocking the way, tourists standing outside can clearly see the scenery inside.
In front of Yao Bing was a sandy area, and behind it was a large patch of lush grass, dotted with wooden stakes and supports of varying heights.
The stream across the middle falls from the stone wall in the distance, with huge gray stones scattered along the way. The stream is rugged and winding, running through the entire area and extending outward to invisible places.
A dozen peacocks were walking on the grass, some with long, gorgeous tail feathers, and some with short gray-brown tails.
This is the blue peacock group.
They paid no attention to the visitors and just lowered their heads to peck at the fresh and juicy green grass.
From time to time, it would raise its head vigilantly to look around, and then look around. When it found that there was no danger, it would lower its head and continue to forage for food.
Occasionally, when a big fat insect is caught, two or three peacocks nearby will come to snatch it. The poor insect will be quickly torn into pieces and end up in the mouths of different peacocks.
Visitors: “…”
Good guy, he doesn't care at all.
As expected of the king of birds, it is very proud.
But I have to say, the male blue peacock is really beautiful.
Yao Bing was already impressed by their beauty, especially the one on the left.
It is larger than other peacocks, with a tall, upright blue crest on its head; its slender neck and chest are sapphire blue, gorgeous and luxurious.
The tail feathers are twice the length of the body. When closed, they are thick and dense, with eye-shaped spots and a silky texture distributed at intervals. In the sun, they show a metallic luster of emerald green and slightly blue, which is bright and eye-catching. It is enough to imagine how beautiful it is when the tail is opened.
She couldn't help but pull Tan Shuangshuang's hand and said, "Look at that blue peacock. Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
Even without the screen on it is stunning.
This is the blue peacock that fought with 'Snow White' at the beginning. His name is 'Blue Light' and he is currently the leader of the blue peacock tribe.
Well-deserved TOP in appearance.
When choosing peacocks, Ye Han first decided on Snow White, and the second one was this one.
"The white peacock is over there!" someone suddenly spoke.
Yao Bing looked over immediately.
Due to the large area and greenery, tourists around Yao Bing are located on one side of the circular venue, close to the blue peacock group.
The white peacock is located on the right side of the fork of the stream, and it does not land on the empty wooden stake, but perches on a tall tree at the back.
The most eye-catching one among them is of course Bai Xue.
Bai Xue tilted her head slightly, and her long tail feathers hung from a 3-meter-high branch, like a white waterfall, wide, thick and dense.
The tail feathers are pure white without a trace of other colors. Clusters of tail feathers are gathered together, like countless overlapping silk gauze, luxurious and heavy; the tips and edges have a drapey feeling like silk ribbons, fresh and elegant, reaching the halfway point, with an astonishing length, full of fairy spirit.
With the huge tree crown and branches stretching above, it looks like a white divine bird living in the wild among the dense green.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
The tourists who saw it were stunned.
It was the first time they saw such a beautiful scene.
In the early winter forest, a pure white 'Phoenix' landed on a branch, looking back with its head raised, its tail feathers drooping, captivating the heart.
They were stunned for a few seconds before hurriedly taking out their phones to take pictures.
The tourists standing on the other side gathered in that direction, and Yao Bing and Tan Shuangshuang also walked in that direction.
Fortunately, there are not many people here now, otherwise it would be very crowded.
As if sensing the gathering of the crowd, Snow White raised its head, opened its mouth and called out a few times, then flew down from the branch.
As the branches swayed gently, the white peacock spread its pure white wings and flapped them rhythmically inward. Its long tail feathers swayed in the air with the movement, just like a phoenix spreading its wings.
Tourists wearing cameras quickly took pictures of the scene.
This trip is so worth it!
Before coming, most people including Yao Bing were looking forward to seeing the peacocks spread their feathers; however, now, they are all obsessed with the peacocks' beauty and pristine environment, and no one mentions it.
Watching the peacocks foraging on the grass, drinking water by the stream, flying onto the branches to rest, and flying around in the jungle, I actually felt very satisfied.
The camera shutter sounds continued.
In fact, it is like watching birds in the wild.
It is surprising enough to see peacocks foraging in the woods and observe their living habits.
In the wild, is there anything you would ask a wild animal to do?
Won't.
Because at that time, humans were just bystanders and had no right to interfere in each other's activities.
Only when birds are kept in smaller cages for public viewing will tourists make various requests of them.
Because subconsciously, we believe that they are there to serve humanity.
Banging on the glass, making loud noises, feeding bread, clamoring for animals to do certain actions, etc. are essentially based on an unequal relationship.
Huajianji has created this pristine environment, which makes everyone feel like they are in the wild.
They can only stand tens or hundreds of meters away, unable to get close or enter the peacocks' habitat.
In addition, the peacocks ignored them and the two major groups were well managed, so the audience did not dare to disturb them easily and unconsciously admired them as bystanders.
Snow White and Blue Light are indeed very good-looking, not inferior to some wild peacocks, and they also have fierce personalities.
Since coming to Huajianji, their lifestyle has gradually become closer to a semi-wild state, their food is good, and their feathers are becoming more colorful.
No one recognized that they were peacocks introduced from W City Zoo.
The living environment and habits are too different.
Yao Bing and Tan Shuangshuang took photos frantically of the leading Bai Xue and Lan Guang.
Ahhh, it’s so beautiful, really so beautiful!
Especially when it was flying, the blue peacock could fly dozens of meters at a time, with its wings spread out and its tail feathers fluttering in all colors. The phoenix in mythology is just like this, right? !
And after this, they will see another kind of 'Phoenix'.
I urgently wrote a script for "Inherit the Zoo". I will revise it later. My dears, please save it. Love you.
Copywriter:
Yin Xi often goes to the wild protection station to rescue animals, and one day he suddenly received a express delivery.
When I opened it, I saw the zoo's ownership certificate and a key.
At the same time, a text message arrived saying that there was an extra 1 million in the bank card.
Yin Xi: ? Pie in the sky? ?
The system's voice sounded: [Galaxy A333-Animal Protection System is at your service. Please save the animals in the zoo. If you fail, 1 million funds will be deducted. ]
Yin Xi: "Are you sure this isn't a new type of telecom fraud?"
system:"......"
Well, technology isn't capable of that right now.
Yin Xi went to Cangshan Zoo to check, and saw only animals starving to the point of skin and bones, and the cages gave off a pungent smell.
A brown bear's eyes sparkled green when he saw her. He suddenly stood up and grabbed the iron bars, drooling three feet long.
Yin Xi: “…”
Good thing the cage was sturdy.
She set about rescuing the animals, and obtained the [Affinity Improvement] [Hearing Animals Speak] cheat codes.
Siberian tiger: "I wonder what the sika deer next door tastes like, slurp."
Yin Xi: "Stop, your thinking is not in line with the core values of socialism. That's your neighbor, a first-class protected animal in the country, understand?"
Siberian tiger:?
Yin Xi: "Repeat with me: prosperity, democracy, civilization, and harmony. Especially harmony, we must live in harmony with our neighbors."
Siberian Tiger: Roar—roar—(I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen)
Listening to the deafening tiger roars, tourists can't help but sigh: The tigers in the park are so majestic, they are worthy of being the king of beasts!
As major exhibition halls such as the cute pet area, Swan Lake, bird hall, reptile hall, etc. were completed one after another, the "Cangshan Wildlife Park" where Yin Xi was located became popular.
Netizens said that the animals here are very spiritual and live a leisurely and comfortable life, unlike other zoos where they stay in cages and are so rigid.
A large number of celebrity animals were born in the zoo, and all kinds of peripheral products and figures were also extremely popular.
The giant panda 'Cang Bao' was born three years later and has since become the most beautiful panda in the country, attracting tourists to queue up for four or five hours to see it.
After breeding and training at Cangshan Zoo, the Green Peacock 'Feng Luan' was successfully returned to the wild with its herd, allowing the number of the world's critically endangered species to slowly recover!
Macaws have very high IQs and like to act as tour guides for tourists.
The Siberian tiger roared loudly, and the herbivores fled in fear, showing its wildness.
Cangshan Zoo was named the best TOP zoo of the year and was awarded the highest honor for protecting wildlife.
