Bird Battle
“Chichi!”
The little peacock was originally admiring its own delicate feather crest happily, until it heard the human voice in the room. Then it turned around and stretched its neck to look at him in confusion.
What's wrong?
Are you saying bad things about it?
The breeder felt inexplicably guilty for a moment, and deliberately covered the phone receiver, walked to the corner and whispered: "That's probably it, very arrogant."
On the first day, the little peacock was not quite used to the new environment and kept chirping from morning till night. The breeder had to cover the shed with blackout cloth before he could feel at ease.
But under the food offensive of the keeper, it quickly changed its attitude.
Before, on the mountain, it and its parents chattered on the ground all day long, and they could only fill their stomachs after struggling for a long time. It had never seen the nutritional package specially prepared for green peacocks by human society.
grumble!
I was confused by the fragrance!
After letting down his most basic defenses, the little peacock keenly discovered something else.
Although the two-legged beasts here are tall, they are extremely easy to scare away. Except for the big guy who pulled its crest at the beginning, the other two-legged beasts dare not even touch it and stay away from it when they meet it.
Plus delicious feed every day...
This is not dangerous at all, it’s its happy home!
As a result, the little guy gradually evolved into the "arrogant" attitude he has today. He not only dares to leave the aviary for a walk, but even dares to visit humans' rooms.
Narrator:
"Although he was temporarily separated from his family, he did not suffer any harm. On the contrary, he was treated well."
"It eats the finest delicacies that contain spiritual energy, drinks pure and spotless spring water from the snowy mountains, and even eats to replenish many of its internal deficiencies. I wonder how many years this can add to its lifespan."
"All kinds of rare gadgets to kill time, dazzling rare treasures..."
"Even its relatives probably have never enjoyed such luxurious conditions."
Audience: …
Although the environment of the shelter seemed a bit shabby in their eyes, it was indeed luxurious for the little peacock that had strayed in.
Well... the drinking water has been replaced with mineral water that costs two yuan a bottle. How can it not be considered a luxury?
[The breeder has put a lot of thought into the little peacock's feed, supplementing it with protein and trace elements. It is indeed a food supplement, hahaha. ]
[Hahahaha, this is the first time I feel that such "preferential treatment" is so reasonable. Maybe other similar plots are about some ancient gods who saw the precious animals that strayed in and protected them? ]
[This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of material introduce a main character who is a big shot (scratching my head), but this seems to make sense.]
[I am so amused by what the breeder said. Jinbao has become more and more arrogant recently. I am afraid that he will be too happy to leave.]
That won’t happen.
Ajin is a very ambitious little peacock.
It's running around here not because it doesn't care about its parents, but because it's conscientiously scouting the area.
With so many delicious foods, I have to bring my own bird to try them.
Thinking of this, the little peacock ran out of the room for a walk again.
The keeper who watched it leave: …
"Are you listening? What should I do if it really doesn't treat me as an outsider at all?"
"Hmm... I understand."
On the other end of the phone, Chen Jing, who had learned of the recent changes in the little peacock, responded with a subtle expression. Just as she was thinking about how to answer, she heard her colleague with dark circles under his eyes excitedly shouting, "Found it, found it! I saw the female peacock!"
"I've been watching for three whole days, and it finally appeared!"
Just by coincidence, they finally found the traces of the parent birds.
"Okay!" Chen Jing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly informed the breeder on the other end of the line of the progress, "Hold on for a few more days! We'll find it soon! Don't let A Jin become overly dependent on you these few days!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone and quickly ran to her colleague to watch the video together.
Once a green peacock is frightened, it will avoid the place that frightened it for several days. They originally held a pessimistic attitude and thought it might take about a week to find the parent bird, but they found it in three days.
"oh……"
Two beautiful green peacocks flashed past the camera, calling in a low and repetitive voice, probably looking for their young.
The female peacock was walking very fast and looked thinner, probably because she hadn't eaten well in the past few days; the male peacock was walking neither fast nor slow, but from its unusually messy tail screen, it could be seen that the father bird had not been doing well recently.
People are discussing:
"It seems we need to hurry and release Ah Jin."
"Let's observe their paths over the past few days and let them claim it along the way. It's best if we don't appear in front of the green peacocks. They are too afraid of people."
"Well, let's add some water to the feeding point in the mountains. I don't know if the water pipes have been damaged by some small animals. We have to prepare..."
After a brief discussion, everyone received their corresponding tasks and began to work overtime to prepare.
Soon, the little peacock's brief journey to paradise came to an end.
"grumble?"
When the little peacock was once again picked up and placed in a bamboo cage, he was not as scared as the first time. He just lay down quietly and looked out through the gaps in the blackout cloth, his eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
People took it out of the shelter, crossed the country road, came to the upper mountain pass, and gradually went deeper along the winding mountain road.
If the road ahead was still unfamiliar, the section after going up the mountain became more and more familiar to Ajin.
It is seen with the eyes and remembered in the heart.
“Is this the place?”
The ranger confirmed in a low voice.
The monitors observed the area where the green peacock couple moved after their return and sorted out several places they must pass through every day. As long as the little peacock is placed in these places, it should be able to be successfully returned to its family.
If that doesn't work, they can also bring them back and raise them artificially.
After getting a positive answer, the ranger signaled to the breeder who followed him up the mountain, and they all retreated to a distance, and the breeder who had been living with the little peacock for the past few days released it.
The keeper had a serious expression on his face. He quickly lifted the blackout curtain on the cage and then shook the little peacock inside to the ground.
"grumble??"
A Jin was stunned when he was suddenly driven back to nature.
It thought the two-legged beast was here to pick up its bird parent to live a good life together, so why did it throw it out?
“Crack.”
Its paws stepped on the mud and sand that felt familiar yet unfamiliar. Suddenly, it heard the sound of a branch breaking. The little guy turned his head in confusion and was surprised to see that the human who had taken care of it in the past few days ran away without hesitation, so fast that it seemed as if he had not put down a cute little peacock, but a ferocious bird of prey.
Little Peacock:? ?
It subconsciously chased after him a few steps.
After a few days of getting along, this tall human was no longer a natural enemy or beast to be feared in its mind, but a pile of fragrant feed and delicious bean grains.
And now, the meal is gone.
The meal is gone!
Little Peacock: Yeah!!
How could it not chase after him?
Seeing this scene, the patrol team exclaimed:
"No, why did it catch up with me?!"
"Go, go! Fortunately, we released it today. Otherwise, what would have happened if we kept it for a few more days?"
"Run faster! Oh, forget it, I'll hold you in my arms, let's go faster!"
So, the keeper was carried by several rangers and quickly fled the release site again.
Only the little peacock was left, standing there in a daze.
grumble……
Narrator:
"One day, he suddenly returned to the valley from the secret realm. Except for the vague traces of those disappeared beings, everything seemed to be unchanged."
"That time was as beautiful as a dream, which made him feel lost."
Audience: Phew.
[Help me, hahahaha, stop being so funny! ]
[What an embarrassing evacuation hahahaha, why is he still carrying the breeder! ]
[Little Peacock: Ah, meal ticket! My delicious meal ticket!! How can I live without you (crying)]
[It’s so funny, the above is probably a true reflection of Jin Bao’s inner thoughts. ]
Before the little peacock could feel sad for too long, it was discovered by its parents who were passing by.
"Oh! Haha!"
Catching a glimpse of a small group beneath a tree in the distance, the peahen began to call out excitedly.
The male peacock, who was walking slowly nearby, immediately became excited when he heard his mate's call and called out to the distance.
"Jiyingying~"
Although reluctant to give up the meal ticket, the little peacock perked up immediately upon hearing the calls of its parents, and responded softly and quietly.
Soon, the two peacocks, who had been anxious for several days, received their cubs.
The female peacock kept lowering her head to check on the baby, while the male peacock paced around, alert and vigilant, fearing that the only baby that he had just found would be harmed again.
There was nothing wrong with the little peacock. It even looked better than the other two, with brighter feathers.
The two big peacocks looked a little confused.
In their opinion, cubs of this age do not have strong survival abilities. Recently, they have to rely on the scraps left by their parents when pecking at food. How can they survive on their own for four or five days and still be healthy?
I can't figure it out.
But it's always a good thing.
“Oh…”
The female peacock called softly and gently, lowered her slender neck covered with beautiful green feathers like fish scales, and rubbed her head against the little peacock, welcoming the cub's return.
The same is true for male peacocks.
Before they were separated, the big and the small were even in a cold war, but now after reuniting, the atmosphere is completely different.
The male peacock lowered his beautiful tail screen on his own initiative, allowing the little peacock to chatter and step on it, looking like he was trying hard to please his cub.
"grumble!"
Under such care, the little peacock immediately forgot the breeder who had just made it reluctant to leave, and circled around the parent bird's feet affectionately.
After the warmth, the small family returned to their previous atmosphere and strolled leisurely in the woods.
The little peacock grows very fast.
It was as if the separation had turned on some strange switch. The little gray birds, which originally had only a few clusters of colorful feathers, began to be covered with various colors in just two months after their return.
The neck gradually develops the beautiful colorful scaly feathers of an adult, the crest becomes completely erect and colored, and even the tail becomes beautiful and slender.
Although its body has not yet fully developed, it has obviously acquired the demeanor of the king of birds.
The little peacock was obviously very proud of this. He would go to the newly found camera position every day and twist around in front of the camera like a model. It was so fancy.
It is easy to wonder whether it will become the kind of narcissistic peacock that opens its feathers seven or eight times a day when it reaches adulthood and has beautiful feathers.
But the audience was very happy with it.
[Ahh, so beautiful! There is a kind of childish beauty! If we compare humans to that kind of beautiful and tsundere little boy, aren’t they?]
[So cute, hahaha. Give it a mirror and it can play with it all day long.]
[It feels like the little peacock has changed every time I wake up, as if it is playing some kind of raising game. It’s so fulfilling to raise a baby online. ]
The same goes for the people in the reserve.
During these two months, they were still only able to record a few images of the other three green peacock families. Now, seeing the little peacocks obediently recording their own growth, they were so moved.
If the little peacock can maintain this habit until adulthood, they will have a complete observation record of the green peacock's growth!
But speaking of this...
"It's November now. Is there enough food in the mountains?"
"The feeding points are replenished regularly, but we can't go in too frequently to the deep places. I don't know why, but the green peacocks there are very nervous."
"Really? That's strange... On the contrary, the family near the foot of the mountain is relatively slow. The previous few patrols went in and didn't scare them."
"It's because they are slow that they dare to live outside! On the contrary, there are so many green peacocks crowded inside, I'm really worried whether they will have enough food to survive the winter..."
It was just mentioned casually and the few people didn't take it seriously. After all, things like supplementary feeding were the patrol team's tasks.
Until one day, they saw an incredible scene on the camera.
Led by the little peacock and followed by two big peacocks, the three peacocks left their original territory.
Went to... eh?
"I went down the mountain to steal some food."
The keeper, who hadn't been seen for two months, had a heavy expression on his face and spoke into the phone.
Opposite him, three peacocks were pecking and chirping in the harvested fields, which was a unique landscape in the farmland.
Female peacock: (worried) There are fewer and fewer fruits and insects on the ground...
Little Peacock: (Thinking) (Recalling) (Excited) It's okay! Follow me!
