When Zhang Zi'an observed the Fengming Aviary from the outside, he thought that the inside of the aviary was a whole, but when he walked through it with Professor Wei Kang, he noticed that this was not the case, and the interior was actually separated to divide different bird species. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe area they are in at this time is full of parrots.

"Professor Wei, pay attention to turn off the lights!"

A hoarse and dull voice came from their ears, and Zhang Zi'an looked sideways, and an African gray parrot that looked like Richard was standing on a dead branch, looking at them with interest - although the appearance was very similar, but the eyes were far less agile than Richard. That's probably what it said.

Wei Kang smiled and pointed at it, "This is the naughtiest gray parrot we have here, quite smart, and the employees have named it 'Sicong'." It learns when it hears other employees say 'pay attention to turn off the lights' at the end of the day. ”

"Hello, don't forget to brush your face when you go to work!" it added. These words are what it learns from the employees.

Zhang Zi'an would have been surprised if he hadn't met Richard, but at this time he just smiled politely and casually echoed a few words. Because the parrot's voice is very different from that of a human, it is thick and dumb, and it can barely make out what it is saying.

"There's a smarter parrot in his shop. Guo Dongyue said suddenly.

"Huh?" Wei Kang was stunned.

"And he talks like a human being. Guo Dongyue added.

Zhang Zi'an felt that Wei Kang's gaze suddenly became extremely hot, and secretly scolded Guo Dongyue in his heart for being troublesome, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, my parrot is just generally smart, and he can't speak well. ”

Guo Dongyue didn't understand why he was humble, which was not the same as the Zhang Zi'an he knew.

Zhang Zi'an has a hard time, just a Fina makes Wei Kang like a demon, if there is one more clever and eloquent gray parrot, it is estimated that Wei Kang will go completely crazy.

Thinking of Fina, he turned around to look. Fina followed with graceful steps, occasionally scanning the birds around her with a haughty and reserved gaze, as if patrolling its territory.

The snow lion does not move an inch from the left and right of Fina, if any bird that does not open its eyes flies too close, it will block in front of Fina's body at a very fast speed, and drive it away - this is a benefit, the female driver Jamie just now reported that when she came to play in the aviary, she was attacked by bird droppings falling from the air, making her body dirty and smelly, and because of the snow lion's presence, Zhang Zi'an and they were not bothered by this, and always kept their clothes neat and clean.

Guo Dongyue listened carefully to Wei Kang's explanation, and followed Wei Kang's fingers to move his gaze, looking for the kind of peony parrot that his mother had raised before. Zhang Zi'an's attention was focused on the layout of the phoenix song aviary. Every three or five paces in the aviary, a bare branch is planted on the ground, long artificial vines hang under the glass dome that serves as the ceiling, trying to create a wild atmosphere, and shelves and grips for birds to perch on are everywhere.

"Professor Wei, since this is free-range, why have you prepared so many bird cages?" Zhang Zi'an asked, pointing to the numerous bird cages on both sides of the passage.

Without hesitation, Wei Kang replied: "It is for them to go on blind dates, sleep and breed, without being disturbed." ”

Zhang Zi'an was about to lower his arm when a green parrot fluttered its wings and landed on his forearm, apparently using his arm as a grip or a dead branch. He froze, wondering if he should chase it away, what if it on his arm?

"Professor Wei......" He stopped and beckoned to the two in front of him.

Wei Kang looked back and was amazed when he saw the bird, "Your luck is so good, no wonder you can pick up a primitive Egyptian cat on the street...... This is an extremely rare black-collared peony parrot, mainly distributed in southern Africa, even in this domestic aviary, there is only such one, which was brought in from abroad by Mr. Lu. In addition, this parrot is quite timid, and it is rare for it to fly to the hands of strangers on its own initiative. ”

When Zhang Zi'an heard that it was such a rare parrot, he couldn't help but be interested.

This black-collared peony is actually not very good-looking, it is slightly larger than the average peony parrot, most of the feathers are emerald green, the beak is gray-black, and there is a conspicuous black line on the back of the neck, which is probably why it got its name.

The black-collared peony also stared at Zhang Zi'an curiously, jumping on his arm, looking down for something from time to time.

"It's looking for food. ”

Zhang Zi'an seemed to see a staff member feeding just now, sprinkling grains such as millet on the ground, and many parrots were pecking on the ground, why didn't this black-collared peony eat it?

Wei Kang seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "The staple food of the black-collared peony is figs, and the diet is extremely narrow, some like giant pandas that feed on bamboo, and if there are no figs to eat, it will starve to death in a few days." ”

I'll it! It's so delicate, no wonder it's rare. Fortunately, it is small in size, and if it looks as big as a giant panda and is such a picky eater, it will become extinct early.

Zhang Zi'an was amazed and said to it, "Didn't your parents tell you that you couldn't be picky eaters when you were a child?"

Of course, the black-collared peony couldn't understand his words like Richard, and its attention was no longer on Zhang Zi'an's body, but on the employee who was feeding the other birds.

Wei Kang took a long breath, "I am a consultant here, and Mr. Lu has a cooperative relationship with us and provides us with the necessary funds. In exchange, when he gets rare birds abroad, he will bring them back to China in the name of the institute to avoid the risk of being confiscated at customs. ”

Zhang Zi'an didn't say anything, just looked carefully at the black-collared parrot on his arm. He already thought it was a little strange, Wei Kang looked like an honest teacher, not like the kind of professor who was keen to deal with businessmen, why did he appear in this aviary? Hearing Wei Kang's own statement, he understood that this was a mutually beneficial relationship.

The employee who received them just now hurriedly walked over with three bottles of mineral water in his arms and a small bamboo blue in his hand, "Professor Wei, bring you water." ”

The black-collared peony suddenly let out an extremely ugly cry, flew away from Zhang Zi'an's arm, landed on the edge of the bamboo blue in the employee's hand, and poked his head into it to peck at something.

Zhang Zi'an was startled by this strange scream, fortunately it wasn't at night, and he had to be scared to pee at night.

"Hehe, it's ugly. It's called like that, so it's not very flattering. Wei Kang was already immune to the black-collared peony's cry, and he was not surprised.

Zhang Zi'an picked out his ears and eyes with his little finger, and said with a wry smile: "The eardrum almost punctured ......"

Fresh figs are held in bamboo baskets in the hands of employees, and black-collared parrots peck one bite after another, eating with gusto.

While Zhang Zi'an and Wei Kang paid attention to the black-collared parrot, Guo Dongyue was not interested in the rare black-collared parrot at all, and was still looking for the parrot in his memory, but there were too many parrots here, and it was dazzling to see.

Suddenly, on a branch with a large head, two parrots with green bodies and red cheeks caught his attention.

"Look there! that's it!" he said, pointing at them.
