Bird Battle
"……puff."
The original patrol team tried to remain as quiet as possible and not make any noise to scare the little peacock.
But seeing this scene, they really couldn't help laughing.
There's no way, it's just too cute.
The male peacock will spread his tail feathers to intimidate and confuse his natural enemies. The gorgeous tail feathers covered with compound eyes are indeed imposing enough, but the little peacock in front of us is different.
It’s just a small fan decorated with colorful feathers, who would be afraid of it?
They looked at each other with smiles on their faces, then lowered their voices to discuss:
"Well, you better be careful..."
"Surround it from behind and don't let it run away."
"Be gentle. Are the cages ready?"
It was too arrogant to discuss kidnapping the little peacock in front of it.
Unfortunately, the little guy on the other side couldn't understand what people were saying.
"grumble……"
On the contrary, when it saw this group of huge creatures seemed to be hesitantly stopping there to talk, it even breathed a sigh of relief, imagining that it was spreading its tail like its father bird once did to scare off the invaders, and it couldn't help but lift its slightly soft tail again, trying to keep its tail spread.
grumble.
It thought hopefully.
After a while, the guy on the other side will probably be scared away by its open screen just like the strange fellow he saw at that time...
“Chichi!!”
The fantasy lasted only a few seconds before the little guy was caught in a net by a cunning human who had come from behind him at some point, with his body hanging in the air.
As soon as it screamed, it was grabbed by the wings and claws and stuffed into a bamboo basket. As soon as its feet touched the ground, the only escape route above its head was closed.
Little Peacock: ...
Huh?
Everything happened so fast that it was even a little dazed.
Just as it was about to struggle in panic, its claws suddenly stepped on something. The little peacock was startled, lowered its head, and pecked at it tentatively.
"My friend, your technique is quite professional..."
Outside, the ranger had a complicated expression: "Isn't it a bit too rough? This is a protected animal."
Liu Xiaochuan, a villager at the foot of the mountain and also an external member of the patrol team, scratched his head and explained in Mandarin with a slight accent: "It's the same way to catch chickens! Just lift and release!"
Ranger: ...
This is not chicken!
It's a peacock cub!
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing the ranger's subtle expression, Liu Xiaochuan added enthusiastically, "I also put some chicken feed in there, so they won't starve!"
Chicken feed...
The ranger had no time to think about it anymore and quickly asked everyone to go down the mountain.
In this protected area, many of the hired responsible members are local villagers, firstly because of the proximity advantage, and secondly because of compensation for their agricultural losses.
After all, before this area was designated as a green peacock habitat, villagers living at the foot of the mountain could enter the mountain at will.
At that time, villagers would occasionally see green peacocks when they went into the mountains. They were shocked by the overly gorgeous feathers and called them the dragon birds in the mountains.
Most of the villagers are relatively simple and honest and will not harm the peacocks. However, because the green peacocks are timid and afraid of people by nature, they will abandon their nests if they are disturbed too many times during the breeding season. The peacock eggs in the nest will die due to cooling down for too long, and no baby peacocks will be born in this nest.
This is really not good news for the already endangered green peacock.
When visiting the village to inquire, the rangers heard many elderly people say that they had picked up peacock eggs in the mountains and brought them back to have their own hens hatch and care for them. Unfortunately, only a few baby peacocks were hatched and most of the eggs were dead.
Hearing this, the ranger's heart bleeds.
The incubation period of green peacock eggs is different from that of normal chicken eggs. The incubation period of peacock eggs is longer, and the hen will give up if they have not hatched within a certain period of time. Unless you happen to pick up peacock eggs at the right time, the possibility of hatching little peacocks is relatively small.
But it’s different now!
They know how to calculate cycles and have constant temperature devices. If we give them the green peacock eggs from that time, maybe there would be a few more green peacocks here!
Thinking about this, the ranger shook his head again.
However, the reason why the villagers were able to pick up so many eggs was probably because they frequently went into the mountains and disturbed the female peacocks incubating eggs, resulting in a high rate of nest abandonment. This is not essentially a good thing, so forget it.
Hiss, but speaking of it...
"Ajin's nest is too small. I wonder why the female bird is frightened so often. Could it be that some villagers sneaked into the mountain?"
"No! How can we do this? You don't even trust us!"
"Oh, don't get excited, I just said it casually. The village has been doing popular science education. I believe in the villagers' awareness. I am really worried about the green peacock."
"It's okay. If you can't do it, just ask us for help. The old farmer in the south of the village used to raise peacocks, but he hasn't been here recently and has been out playing. I don't know where he gets the money."
"Haha, there's no need for that. Thanks for the trouble..."
In fact, before today, the staff of the nature reserve had considered whether someone had sneaked into the mountains and disturbed the green peacocks, but today's incident of seeing a wild leopard attacking a peacock family somewhat dispelled their doubts.
Over the past few months, they have been patrolling every day and have specially called on villagers who are familiar with mountain roads to accompany them and assist, in order to strictly prohibit humans from entering the forest and disturbing the natural breeding of green peacocks.
I think there should be no problem in this regard.
Combined with what we saw today, it seems that what really interferes with the breeding of green peacocks are their natural enemies!
After all, it is the law of nature... They can't do anything about it and can only try to protect the lone little peacock.
Narrator:
"Following the light in the secret realm, he strayed into a place he had never been to before."
"This place is completely different from the valley he once lived in."
"It's dangerous, but it's also a unique opportunity."
[Okay, okay, I was saved! I feel relieved! ]
[The tail is so cute and funny hahahaha, and the way this person catches the chicks is so casual!! ]
[Oh? The narrator's statement feels like there's something plot-y!]
[A classic opportunity for the protagonist, right? Let me think... isn't that another opportunity for me? In the world of the Divine Bird, human status is treated really well, hahaha. ]
After going down the mountain and saying goodbye to the villagers, the patrol team couldn't wait to take the green peacock to the rescue center.
It is not clear how the little peacock escaped the hunting of its natural enemies. They need to give the little guy a full body check to determine whether it has any wounds.
“Chi! Chi…”
When it saw the light of day again, it was already in an unfamiliar place. The little peacock called out once with full energy, and then immediately became quiet like a quail, not daring to move at all when it was picked up and placed on the table.
It is a typical bully.
Although he dared to complain to his father bird that bullied him, the little guy dared not say a word when faced with a stranger.
Even if its wings are pinched, its short beak is touched, or even its small tail feathers are stroked, it still...
"Jiying!"
At a certain moment, the patient little peacock suddenly exploded.
It scurried around on the table, its paws flailing and clattering, dodging here and there for cover, catching the humans, who had been deceived by its earlier silence, off guard.
"Hey! Ah Jin, stop running around!"
"Oh my god, why did the little guy suddenly explode? Did you touch its wound?"
"I didn't! I just thought the feather crest was cute so I tried to see how it developed... Uh, it seemed to be true for Ajin..."
“Chichi!”
After a chaos, the little peacock was pressed into a thick velvet cloth, with only its neck and head exposed. Although it could not move, it still looked at the human who had just tried to persecute its crest with a rather unfriendly look.
Remembering a grudge.jpg
The veterinarian apologized awkwardly: "I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Little Peacock Ajin: "Chi!"
The desire to protect Dai Mao overwhelmed everything and even made the little peacock forget his previous fear. After being released, he moved straight towards the people at the table.
It walked with its tail wagging, and by the time it reached the bottom of the human, a small fan had erected on its tail.
Under the human's forbearing gaze, the little fellow, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, shook his tail screen widely.
——Oh, it doesn’t have feather screen at its age, so actually it just wiggled its butt.
This body movement...
This is probably the greatest malice the little guy can show.
“Hahahaha.”
After looking at each other, the veterinarian couldn't help it. He took a few steps back, bent over and laughed until his stomach hurt.
Little did he know that this reaction gave the little peacock courage.
Isn't this just being frightened by its actions?
So it took a few more steps forward.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
Go away!
"It, it doesn't have any injuries, just a few hairs on its tail are bald..." The veterinarian laughed breathlessly and took a few steps outside in a very cooperative manner. "Just take care of it normally, hahaha. It, it's still chasing me. I'll act a little. I can't let it stick its butt out all the time, hahaha."
The human slid out the door, hunched over.
Narrator:
"In the new place, he is still very spoiled and willful."
"But the existence here doesn't mind his personality, and unexpectedly takes good care of him who strayed in."
"Maybe they have been lonely for a long time, so they prefer noisy children like this."
Audience: Phew.
[I am dying of laughter. Why can Jinbao always create such weird effects? ]
[Just one screen opening can be used for a long time, one trick can be used everywhere, haha. 】
[I was so happy, so cute, I laughed louder than this guy at the scene. ]
The final examination results showed that the little peacock was not injured, which is cause for celebration.
So, the problem now becomes very simple. You just need to raise the little guy, determine the places where the green peacock couple goes in and out, and then put it in those places and wait to be picked up.
The monitors are responsible for finding the parent birds in each camera, while the rescue center near the foot of the mountain is responsible for feeding the little peacocks during this period so that they can be released in time.
Soon, people discovered something.
The little peacock, who was taken care of by them with great care, seemed no longer afraid of people.
"grumble!"
As soon as I came in, I heard the little guy's loud cry.
The breeder smiled bitterly, spread the feed for today, and then looked at the little peacock that ran to his feet to peck at the food without hesitation and said worriedly: "How did it get tamed..."
You know, he has only been feeding it for two days!
When it comes to green peacocks rescued from the wild, we usually worry that they may not be able to adapt to the captive life. But with this little peacock, we are worried that it may adapt too quickly!
If I raise him like this, he won’t spoil him, right?
He shared his concerns with his colleagues, who comforted him:
"Young peacocks do not have strong survival abilities, so it is normal for them to become temporarily dependent on their caregivers."
"As long as we find the parent bird and release it in time, the life in the past few days will not affect its wildness, so don't worry."
"We are trying hard to find it. If we can see the little peacocks, they will definitely not miss it."
He thought so and continued to feed the little peacock with peace of mind.
Two more days——
He dialed the number of the monitoring room of the reserve with some heaviness: "When will you find the parent bird of the cub? I may not be able to hold on any longer."
Chen Jing was dazzled by the camera records everywhere. She was shocked when she heard this: "Can't hold on?! Is Ah Jin on a hunger strike? Or is she depressed?"
"No…it's more serious than that."
The breeder sighed deeply as he watched the little peacock walk into his room with a swagger, wagging its tail in front of the mirror beside the wall and treating itself as a complete decoration:
"This guy seems to realize that he is protecting animals."
A Jin: The little peacock has his own Peach Blossom Spring!
Ah Jin: I've got it in mind! I can tell the birds to come along later~!
