Bird Battle
Didi.
A car stopped at the entrance of the somewhat simple village.
Liu Xiaochuan knocked on the car window and asked enthusiastically: "Hello, are you a local resident?"
"Oh! It's you!"
When the car window was rolled down, he recognized the person without any introduction - it was Lao Zhuang who was traveling during this period.
"Are we in a small place like the big cities starting to check people?" Lao Zhuang was a middle-aged man with regular features. He looked very honest and reliable. At this time, facing Liu Xiaochuan's check, he made a joke, "Could it be that some big shot has come to the village?"
Liu Xiaochuan said in a friendly manner: "It's not some big shot, it's the group of peacocks from the mountain that came down!"
"oh……"
Liu Xiaochuan felt that the man's mood seemed a little subtle, and he was a little confused: "What's wrong, Lao Zhuang looks a little unhappy? Aren't you the one who likes Green Peacock the most among us?"
Lao Zhuang sighed, lit a cigarette, and said vaguely: "I like them, but I'm afraid they will damage the crops and cause losses to the villagers."
For example, there have been cases in other places where green peacocks came down the mountains to look for food, but were poisoned to death by grains sprinkled with pesticides.
Yes, I will respond after get off work.
Professionals are so considerate!
Liu Xiaochuan sighed in his heart, and explained when he allowed them to pass: "We have our backers, and we ordinary villagers will never suffer any loss! What's more, green peacocks are national protected animals, so precious! That's why no one dares to do anything to them!"
"Oh, by the way, let's not smoke recently and stop honking our cars. It would be bad if they get scared."
After the window was rolled up, the car fell into silence.
It was not until we saw the familiar little Western-style building that someone in the car whispered:
"Isn't the control too strict now? This year we..."
"There are still four or five months left. It's not a big deal. By then, we'll be lax again. We can't keep an eye on it every day, right?"
"Go and find out which group has escaped recently."
The back door of the car opened, and Lao Zhuang's son Xiao Zhuang pulled a villager to ask questions and walked towards the farmland at the foot of the mountain.
Although the green peacock withdrew from the election for the national bird early, they still received a wave of traffic.
For example, now, more comments under the video are praising the beauty of the green peacock and popularizing relevant scientific knowledge. There are finally fewer questions like those confused with the blue peacock.
The little peacock Ajin has become a well-known animal on the Internet thanks to his unique personality.
"Come on, look at the camera."
"Jiji?"
At the end of today's supplementary feeding, the keeper took a close-up photo of the chirping little peacock nearby as usual.
With fluffy little feathers, big bright eyes and a colorful tail, Ajin’s photo today is still perfect.
The little peacock is very camera-friendly.
Perhaps its experience in the forest made it familiar with these black reflective cylindrical lenses. Every time the keeper took out a camera, it would actively move closer, wanting to see its own appearance in the reflection.
The unique childish cuteness of the baby bird, coupled with its previous vivid performance in front of the camera, has caused many viewers to spontaneously become its mother fans, looking forward to what the little peacock will look like when it grows up.
"Well, it's beautiful today too."
The keeper smiled, took out a handful of snacks and fed them to the little peacock, then turned his attention to the green peacock couple in the distance.
He raised his foot, wanting to add some food to the feeding point in the distance, but he didn't expect the two bird parents to suddenly become nervous.
"Whoa whoa--!"
They stretched out their long necks and cried sharply. The little peacock, which was originally chattering on the ground, immediately ran to the side of its parents, and was vigilantly protected by the male peacock's tail.
The female peacock was even more furious. She spread her wings for a rare time and chirped violently in place.
This is a very defensive reaction.
What's wrong?
What happened?
"Did you stimulate them?"
The remote center monitor's exclamation came through the headset. The breeder was completely confused and tried to explain: "It's not that I didn't, I just did it the same way as before!"
In order to ensure the mental health of the peacocks, the keepers quickly retreated step by step and left the farmland.
Just as he walked out of the area, the three peacocks suddenly became quiet.
People are puzzled:
"Did you wear any perfume today?"
"No! What perfume would I wear!"
"Could it be that there was something in the sky at that time?"
"That's possible. I forgot to pay attention to it at that time. Alas!"
"If they are frightened, will they come down again later...?"
"No, no! It's already deep winter, and there's not enough food in the mountains!"
Even though the breeder was so looking forward to it, he still received very tragic news the next day.
——The green peacock family didn’t come today.
After waiting patiently for another four or five days, they still did not see the familiar beautiful big bird in the farmland.
Probably just like the little peacock was attacked before, this small family also designated the farmland at the foot of the mountain as a dangerous area.
how so!
The staff was devastated.
Although a few more feeding points were added in the mountains, and the intervals between increasing food and water were controlled to ensure that the peacocks would not be frightened and could enjoy the care, the three living green peacocks that they could get close to had already raised their expectations, and they were not satisfied with the photographic images of the wild infrared cameras.
But now they are all gone.
Narration begins:
"As life went on as usual, his family suddenly sensed a sense of crisis and urgently evacuated with the young child."
[What! Is there a plot here? ]
[Huh? What happened? Why are the peacocks suddenly scared? ]
[The camera didn't show it... I guess there's another bird of prey in the sky? ]
[The little peacock is almost five months old. It is not easy to catch prey at this size. How could it be disturbed by natural enemies? ]
The audience was also confused.
However, compared to the collapsed staff of the nature reserve, the camera in the live broadcast room was always locked on the little peacock, so they did not miss the changes in the peacock family during this period.
"Jiji?"
The little peacock seemed a little confused when he was stopped from going down the mountain by his parents again.
It had no idea why its parent bird was so sensitive at this moment, like a frightened bird.
The little guy spread his wings and opened a small fan for his parent bird to express his fearlessness and bravery.
When it did this before, all the bipeds would be scared!
But the parent birds do not approve of their only child's persistence.
They pushed the young birds into the woods with their sharp beaks without even looking at the path down the mountain.
It's better to starve than to lose a child!
They thought so.
"grumble……"
The confused little peacock lowered its wings a little lost. At noon, when it saw the male peacock flying up to a tree to rest, it nodded thoughtfully.
When the little peacock appeared in the camera lens in the wild again, it was half a month after they went up the mountain.
I haven't seen the little peacock for half a month, and he has changed a lot, with his wings growing stronger.
Although its body is still a little small, it already has the demeanor of an adult bird overall.
"Whoa whoa."
I also started to imitate the calls of birds.
The monitors had mixed feelings: they were happy that the little peacock seemed to be living well in the wild, but they were also disappointed that they had not been able to capture its recent subtle changes.
However, the little peacock's next move did not disappoint people.
After finding the familiar black lens, the little guy started his performance again.
Spread the tail, spread the wings, turn around...
If it were placed in a zoo, the staff would probably helplessly put up a sign like this: Animal performances are prohibited, but animals cannot be stopped from performing.
This is probably the true portrayal of the little peacock.
As people watched, they made an even more surprising discovery - the little peacock could fly.
As we all know, most peacocks in the wild can fly, and the green peacock has a flying ability that is inconsistent with its body size.
There is a similar description in the famous Yuefu poem "The Peacock Flies Southeast": "The peacock flies southeast, lingering every five miles." The peacock here refers to the green peacock, an adult bird that can glide and fly long distances.
But people didn't expect that the little peacock could fly when it was only about six months old.
"Whoa whoa!"
After running a short distance in the woods outside the camera, A Jin shouted to encourage himself, then flapped his wings at a certain speed, flew a short distance, and finally stopped on the ground.
Although the height of the flight is average, it is still very impressive.
At least some small land enemies can be fooled by this trick.
Narration introduction:
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. He is no longer the ignorant cub he once was. During the days he hid in the valley, he has been secretly training himself, trying not to fall behind his relatives."
"Obviously, he has achieved some results and can explore bravely!"
【Oh oh oh! The little peacock is awesome! 】
[I was wondering why Jin Bao has been clinging to the male peacock during lunch break recently. It turns out he is trying to learn from him.]
[Cute! This little wing flaps like a little chick, hahaha, I didn’t expect it can actually fly! ]
[I feel relieved. This gliding ability is quite useful when I encounter danger. I don’t think the previous danger will occur again.]
[Although, the last sentence of the narration made me think a lot...]
The staff at the reserve think so too.
Although they didn't have the chance to witness the little peacock grow up, they were already very satisfied.
Although they thought so.
but--
That day, the breeder was just passing by the farmland and looked around without hope, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Ajin!"
"Whoa whoa!"
Meeting his surprised gaze, the little peacock shook its tail modestly, as if feeling somewhat pleased with itself.
How did it get here?
Have you gotten separated from your bird friends again?
No matter what, we have to get closer and take a look at the situation!
But before the keeper could approach cautiously, two beautiful adult birds suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mountain, and their clear calls echoing in the fields sounded particularly angry.
“Ouch—!”
Help!
Kidnapping!
