There was nothing to do, Zhang Zi'an listened very patiently, and only after making sure that Guo Dongyue finished speaking, did he ask, "I don't know what I can do to help?"

Guo Dongyue settled his thoughts for a moment and said slowly: "When I was in elementary school, I had two parrots at home. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Zi'an glanced sideways at Richard, feeling worried-if Guo Dongyue proposed to borrow Richard's use now, how could he refuse?

"Not a gray parrot. Guo Dongyue seemed to perceive his thoughts, "It's a peony parrot, a pair." ”

"Oh. Zhang Zi'an felt relieved, but at the same time he felt guilty about the fact that he would feel at ease. If Richard was an ordinary gray parrot, he wouldn't mind lending it to Guo Dongyue, but no......

Peony parrots, also known as lovebirds, are known among birds for their affection and loyalty, and when they find a mate, it is best to keep them in pairs, otherwise they will be depressed.

Bird keeping is not uncommon in cities, and parrots are also very popular among birds. Zhang Zi'an knew that Guo Dongyue had anything to do, so he asked, "Are the parrots dead?"

Guo Dongyue shook his head, "I didn't die, I didn't run away, but I gave it away." ”

Many people have pets on impulse, and they find that they don't like pets, or that they are not suitable for pets at home, so they give them away, which is not worth advocating, but it is indeed very common.

"The pair of peony parrots were also given to my mother by someone else, and my mother liked them very much and often taught them to speak. But......" he touched his throat lightly, "but I've got a respiratory problem......

Zhang Zi'an was stunned for a few seconds, how could he not connect the two things.

At this moment, a figure flickered outside the door, and someone walked into the store with brisk steps.

"Is it psittacosis or PBL?" said a familiar voice.

Zhang Zi'an subconsciously looked over, and it was Sun Xiaomeng who walked in. She didn't change her clothes, she was still wearing a white lab coat, her hands were in her pockets, her mask was hanging on one ear, and her face was slightly tired, as if she had walked from the clinic.

The calm on Guo Dongyue's face turned into surprise, and he looked at Zhang Zi'an, waiting for his introduction.

"Wait a minute, what the hell is psittacosis? What is PBL? Don't play dumb riddles, can you say something that ordinary people can understand?" Zhang Zi'an didn't rush to introduce, but chose to satisfy his curiosity first.

"You're still selling pets, you don't even know this kind of common sense?" Sun Xiaomeng was not polite, pulled the four-legged steel tube chair that Guo Dongyue had just sat on and sat down, took off the mask and stuffed it into the pocket of the white coat, and said to himself: "I'm tired." ”

"What common sense?" Zhang Zi'an didn't remember what he had learned before, such as psittacosis or PBL.

Guo Dongyue looked at Sun Xiaomeng slightly, silent, and didn't seem to have the meaning of explaining.

Zhang Zi'an saw that Sun Xiaomeng was about to sell Guanzi, and decided to do it himself. He took out his mobile phone to search for the three letters "PBL", trying to find out what the abbreviation was, but unfortunately the query was fruitless, and the things found out were not right at first glance.

Sun Xiaomeng smiled, "Don't look it up, PBL is a medical term, and it's hard to find it from ordinary search engines." It means 'pigeon-keeper's lung'. ”

Guo Dongyue nodded without a trace.

"What fourth brother and fifth brother?" Zhang Zi'an was confused when he heard it, and he didn't even understand which words they were.

"It's not the fourth brother, it's the pigeon-breeder 's_lung, and there is also the bird-breeder's_lung," Sun Xiaomeng explained, "literally, it translates literally Chinese which is 'pigeon-keeper's lungs', which is an allergic reaction to the respiratory system caused by raising birds." ”

She's not a good teacher, but when it comes to her area of expertise, she immediately opens up the conversation.

Seeing that no one interjected, she continued: "Psittacosis is 'psittacosis', which is an epidemic pneumonia. Cases tend to occur in the homes of bird keepers, where adults are more resistant to them, and children who are growing and developing are much more likely to be infected. Although it is named after the 'parrot', in fact both domestic pigeons and parrots can cause this pneumonia......"

As Sun Xiaomeng was talking, he heard a hoarse cry of "quack", and couldn't help but be startled.

Richard couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, "Quack!

Sun Xiaomeng had just undergone two consecutive surgeries and was physically and mentally exhausted, so he came out for a walk, and passed by Zhang Zi'an's pet store and came in to have a look. When she heard Guo Dongyue's last few words at the door, she was itchy for a while, so she was uninvited. After entering, she recounted the knowledge in her mind while talking, not noticing that there was another parrot in the pet store, and she spoke in a straight voice, but her tone was a little frivolous.

She looked at Richard, who was jumping around on the cash register table, in surprise, and asked Zhang Zi'an, "Is this your parrot?"

“…… Sort of. Zhang Zi'an said cautiously, "Don't bother with it yet, this parrot talks a lot of nonsense, I'll tell you when I'm done with your words." ”

"Forehead......" Having said that, Sun Xiaomeng still couldn't take his eyes off Richard, after all, what he said just now was really the same as what people said.

Guo Dongyue had already seen Richard's magic, but he just raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

"Where did I speak?" Sun Xiaomeng's thinking was interrupted, and he couldn't catch up for a while.

Zhang Zi'an reluctantly reminded: "Pigeons and parrots can cause pneumonia. ”

"Oh, yes, then is it psittacosis or PBL?" Sun Xiaomeng's inquiry was aimed at Guo Dongyue, in the tone of a doctor.

Guo Dongyue nodded, speaking for the first time since Sun Xiaomeng came in: "It's psittacosis." ”

"Speak Chinese to me!"

Zhang Zi'an took out the majesty of the shopkeeper. He was speechless, the two present, one is a designer who has studied abroad, and the other is a practicing veterinarian who is a scholar, and his English level is very high, only his English is average before, and after work, almost all of them are returned to the English teacher, like the word psittacosis, he read the fried chicken and twisted his mouth, almost biting his tongue.

Sun Xiaomeng couldn't help but glance at Richard again and said, "Parrot fever...... Humans can become infected if they are in close contact with pet birds, especially pigeons and parrots, for long periods of time – the infection rate is not very high, healthy adults are generally fine, and only immunocompromised people and children are more susceptible. In addition to droppings, pigeons and parrots are more lively, always like to flutter, and often scratch the feathers on their chests when they are bored, and there are a large number of dust feathers that are difficult to see with the naked eye to fall out with their movements, so children should not stay in a relatively closed space with pet birds for a long time. ”

As if to prove her words, Richard poked his beak into the feathers on his chest and pecked at it.

Zhang Zi'an couldn't help but be embarrassed.
