Bird Battle
The only child of this green peacock couple has a special personality.
This is the unanimous conclusion reached by the monitors after observing the little peacock for a long time.
Specifically manifested in——
“Chichi!”
A small gray head suddenly popped up in the lens of the camera placed in the wild.
The little peacock, which was born not long ago, was looking at the camera in front of it curiously.
It came so close that the fine hair on its head was clearly visible in the camera, and its whole body had the fluffy texture of a chick, almost making the monitors, who had a rare opportunity to observe a peacock at such a close distance, faint with excitement.
What surprised people even more was that because she had to take care of her young birds, the female green peacock also approached the camera, and the camera recorded this rare frontal face photo.
"oh."
"grumble!"
The parent bird seemed to want the little peacock to go with it, but the little guy was not happy.
The little peacock flapped its wings with few feathers, avoiding its mother's nagging and standing stubbornly in front of the camera.
As the only surviving chick, the female peacock was very tolerant of the little peacock. When she saw that the little peacock refused to leave, she stopped and rested on the spot.
Green peacocks usually forage in the morning and afternoon. During their lunch break, they will rest in the woods near their foraging spots, and occasionally they will climb trees to rest.
But during the stage of raising cubs, the female peacock will still stay with the cubs.
The other bird flew to a nearby tree, both to rest and to be on guard.
“Chichi!”
The little peacock protected in this way can move around here with peace of mind.
People thought that the little guy might be seeing a camera for the first time and was feeling curious. They guessed that the next second the little guy would stretch out his short yellow beak and peck at the camera. However, they did not expect that the next second, they saw a small "fan" rising from the little peacock's tail.
Um……
The little peacock spread its tail again.
"grumble!"
The quail-like little creature gave a loud cry and turned around in front of the camera, almost as if admiring itself.
The last time the little peacock saw its father spread its feathers to scare away an intruder, the little peacock hiding behind the female peacock seemed to have learned something. In the past few days, it would suddenly spread its feathers while walking. It was so complacent that it wanted its parents to recognize it even though it had only grown a few feathers.
Perhaps it saw itself in the black reflection of the infrared camera and thought it saw another little peacock, so it couldn't wait to show off its tail-spreading skills again.
Well, he's a narcissistic kid.
The female peacock who was secretly watching it:...
He withdrew his gaze and lowered his neck to tidy up his feathers.
At this time, you cannot make eye contact with the little peacock with its tail spread out.
Don't ask, it's just based on experience.
Narrator:
"As a spoiled child of heaven, he is naturally proud and willful. He has been like this since he was a child."
"Even if he/she doesn't have the beauty of his/her parents, it doesn't stop him/her from appreciating himself/herself."
The audience laughed.
[Okay, okay, this is what you deserve. ]
[Hahahaha this fits my stereotype of peacocks, a narcissistic and bright beauty, although this is the childhood version.]
[I used to think that the gray one was not cute, but now I suddenly think that it is so well behaved and cute, hahaha, like a child who likes to show off. ]
[This little screen is so cute! It pokes me, it looks like a little fan haha. ]
"puff."
The monitor behind the camera couldn't help but laugh.
A total of four groups of green peacocks have been observed in the reserve where they are located.
Apart from this pair of green peacocks, the remaining three are all deep in the mountains, and few images can be observed. People only know that probably some new peacocks are born during this breeding season, but there is no way of knowing what the specific situation is.
People are actually a little worried.
When this green peacock couple was incubating eggs, the female peacock, perhaps frightened by something, left the nest frequently, and in the end only one baby bird survived.
I wonder if there are similar sources of stimulation in the mountains...
They can only wait until the next breeding season, when a large number of peacocks gather for blind dates, to roughly count how many newborn peacocks there are.
Therefore, people are naturally very concerned about this observable little peacock. After noticing the little guy's emerging narcissistic style, they gave it a cute nickname - Ajin.
Pride means being proud and arrogant.
It may be a derogatory word to humans, but for the green peacock, the king of birds, it is certainly something to be proud of.
Otherwise, how could there be the description of "proud peacock"?
Seeing the little guy frequently opening his screen, the monitors also joked:
"Entering the breeding season in advance... Very good. Practicing in obscurity for two years, and once you spread your feathers, you'll stun all the female peacocks."
"Hahahaha, where did you learn this? With the genes of her parent bird, Ajin won't be too bad when she grows up."
"It's all thanks to that mixed-blood peacock last time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see Ah Jin working so hard to spread his tail."
"Speaking of which, should that half-breed peacock be okay now?"
"That zoo has a special peacock pavilion and recently received a white peacock. It's probably in better condition, so don't worry."
“Wow wow—”
The new neighbors seem a bit noisy.
The white peacock walked quietly to the corner, avoiding the sunlight and the gaze of the breeder.
"well……"
The breeder was worried.
Compared with other peacocks, this white peacock seems much quieter and gentler.
The white peacock is a variant of the blue peacock. Its entire body is pure white with no other colors except for its eyes, which are light red.
This pure and flawless bird perfectly hits people's aesthetic point, allowing the white peacock, which was originally a mutant species, to maintain genetic stability and survive from generation to generation to the present.
but……
Although the white peacock is extremely popular in human aesthetics, it is an ugly and unattractive monster in peacock aesthetics.
Before the zoo received this white peacock, the previous owner raised it together with other normal blue peacocks. As time went by, this white peacock became quieter and more inferior.
Yes, inferiority complex.
Faced with provocative and bullying behaviors from other male birds, this white peacock always runs away silently, without any of the competitive spirit of a male peacock.
It didn't even turn on the screen once!
During the breeding season, the white peacock was not seen spreading its feathers to court a mate, and the female peacocks who tried to get close were driven away by the white peacock. The former owner finally realized that something was wrong, and after much thought, he decided to sell the white peacock to the zoo to recoup his investment.
Now, the zoo is concerned about the mental health of this white peacock.
The narrator finally spoke:
"He lives far away from the hustle and bustle, and lives with his family in a mysterious valley."
"But his every move can affect the outside world. All it needs is a medium."
"For example, a hybrid that was previously expelled by his relatives."
"This unwilling half-breed met another alien in a new place."
[Oh! The branch line has been cut! ]
[Wow, so this is how this hybrid peacock is used. ]
[It’s a white peacock! How could it be an alien? It’s so fairy-like?! ]
"Compared to half-bloods, the family hates useless people with no talent more."
"He has not inherited any advantages from his family. He is a blank slate, and his temperament is weird and unpleasant. Such a waste will naturally be expelled from the family."
[Indeed, white peacocks are probably not popular in the peacock group... Listening to the breeder's recollection, it seems that this white peacock was isolated before.]
[How pitiful! It doesn't even open its wings to court a mate. It must have a serious psychological problem.]
[From the peacock's perspective, I can understand this, but as a human, I feel so disconnected. It's such a beautiful bird!!]
"It has long been prepared to be expelled from the family."
“Even if it comes to a strange place, there is no resistance, but at the same time, it also cannot produce any hope.”
"No one will like it anyway, and it has no value."
In the picture, the white peacock is indeed a solitary bird.
Perhaps it was rejecting the environment itself, or perhaps it was still in the adaptation period. In any case, the white peacock was not placed directly in the business area of the peacock garden, but was placed in a large cage alone.
The white bird stood quietly with its tail drooping, looking very melancholy.
[What kind of inferior, cowardly and loveless little beauty is this? I love her. 】
[To put it in context, the original work probably created a beautiful woman who is easy to conquer without any logic... But it is really reasonable here, let aunt love you! ]
[White is really fairy and beautiful. Is it the white peacock behind that is so inferior that it spreads its feathers and stuns the audience? ]
"Wow--Wow!"
The mixed-breed peacock next door is still calling.
It is also a new arrival, and the keeper will isolate it here as usual to familiarize it with the environment. It will be released in about a day or two.
But no one knows why it keeps barking.
Only the white peacock next door knew the meaning of the other's call.
When it heard it for the first time, it was so surprised and confused that it couldn't help but go closer to the wire fence to check.
Opposite is a very beautiful female bird.
After reaching this conclusion, the white peacock no longer paid any attention to the other party's calls and just shrank back into its own area.
It thought it was a white female like itself...
Such a beautiful female bird definitely wasn't showing any interest in it.
Audiences who know the White Peacock’s inner thoughts through the narration: …
hateful!
What the hell is this feeling of fragility!
[I love you. I really love you.]
[If other peacocks make Xiao Meiliang uncomfortable, why not rely on humans! White hair can really poke our XP (bushi)]
"Xiaobai, it's time to eat."
The keeper couldn't bear to see the white peacock huddled in a corner, so he greeted it during breaks in feeding.
With its pale red eyes slightly raised, the white peacock approached with graceful steps, lowering its head to peck at the feed that the breeder had just scattered.
It eats very quickly.
In the previous environment, if it moved a little slower, the food in its mouth would be snatched away by another blue peacock.
As a male peacock, when it encountered such bullying for the first time, it was of course angry. It felt that its dignity was challenged and wanted to fight back.
But after a few words of argument, it was frightened by the peacock's glittering tail.
The colorful tail screen is obviously more intimidating than its sparse pure white tail screen. Under such pressure, its tail was unable to support itself as soon as it was raised a little, and it could only evacuate in a panic.
There were many similar things that happened, until it no longer had any desire to win and was even afraid to spread its wings, and then it was taken to a completely new environment.
There are no other peacocks here and it prefers it here.
Narration summary:
"The half-blood was unwilling to give in, so he put aside his disdain and wanted to cooperate with this expelled waste. However, he did not expect that this would irritate the other party, causing him to be completely disappointed in the family and no longer care about the family's recognition."
"Thus, the expelled creature ushered in a brand new future of its own."
"Because it is so popular in the new place, all its previous shortcomings are now advantages, and it is almost praised to the moon."
[Oh, so this is how the main plot affects this place! ]
[I think I can understand it if I put myself in this situation. I already have low self-esteem, and then suddenly a beautiful woman shows up and says she wants to hook up with me. It really hits my sore spot, and it really makes me sad...]
[It's so reasonable. The white peacock is the extreme of the two aesthetics, which perfectly fits the setting! ]
Taking into account the special psychology of the white peacock, the park staff thought again and again and decided to temporarily place it in a separate place to receive guests.
As a variant of the blue peacock, the white peacock is naturally not afraid of people.
However, it seems to have received unexpected feedback——
"Oh my god! So beautiful!"
"So beautiful! Why is there only one of them?"
"The feathers hanging down are like a wedding dress..."
The White Peacock received visitors on the first day and the response from tourists was enthusiastic.
The tourists were even more shocked when they learned about the peacock's special experience and that it might even feel inferior because of its pure white feathers.
Some of them did not know the peacock's views on mate selection, but they thought it was outrageous that the white peacock, who was so pure and beautiful in their eyes, was despised in this way and even so inferior that it did not dare to spread its feathers. They could not help but show concern for this inferior white peacock.
Specifically, it means drowning the opponent with food.
White Peacock:?!
It had never received such treatment before and was quite panicked.
Even though it intuitively felt that these strange two-legged beasts had no ill intentions, it was still instinctively wary of the pie falling from the sky, and could not help but back away repeatedly, flying directly onto the shelf.
"Wow--!!"
The humans below raised their heads in sync, their mouths opened into O shapes, and their expressions varied.
It was not until the staff came out to adjust the atmosphere and the tourists reluctantly dispersed that the white peacock landed again.
After a few days, the white peacock discovered something very strange.
It seems that as long as it appears, all the two-legged beasts' eyes are fixed on it.
It heard the sounds of other peacocks in the distance and knew that there must be other peacocks here.
—Those normal, beautiful blue peacocks.
But the two-legged creatures all seemed to prefer looking at it.
It did not fight, but it got it.
The white peacock gradually let down its guard due to the unprecedented preference. It began to walk among the crowd and enjoy the attention and gazes.
Then, it opened its screen for the first time.
The beginning is a small screen with a small peacock, and the end is a large screen with a white peacock. The small screen drives the large screen (sure)
After all, the birds are in different spaces, so if you want to connect them, you can only write like this. This time, the hybrid peacock is used as a link.
If the green peacock couple hadn't driven it away, people wouldn't have discovered it, it wouldn't have entered the zoo, and it wouldn't have irritated the white peacock, and the white peacock wouldn't have given up on the peacocks and turned to people...
That's it (sure)
