121. Ant nest umbrella の temptation
The couple parrot chirped loudly and rhythmically.
Yang Shubao got up and rubbed his face vigorously, well, it's dawn.
The couple parrot is now his alarm clock, and they will come and call when it is dawn.
It rained again last night, and he turned his head to look out the window, the morning mist was shrouded, and the grassland seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and its turquoise carcass loomed under the snow-white gauze.
Lao Yang was enjoying the grassland in the early morning after the rain, and the cries of the parrots were terrible, and he couldn't help but pound on the window and roar angrily: "Ganny is bright, what is it called?
The couple parrot didn't care and continued to chirp.
The Egyptian spirit birds, which were bouncing on the grass in search of insects to eat, were startled, and this kind of bird was also very good at calling, and when they were frightened, they flapped their bright red wings as they called, and several birds flew one after another in the fluttering sound.
The morning dew was shining, and Yang Shubao went to fetch water to wash his face.
Now there is one more thing after the rain, and that is to collect Heim's ant nest umbrella, he has already gained experience, the ant nest umbrella grows amazingly after the rain, and he can't eat it if he picks it for a few hours at night.
Once the diameter of the umbrella exceeds half a meter, the ant nest umbrella will not be tasty.
The small earthen pond next to the ant nest umbrella colony is filled with rainwater, and a few tomato frogs crouch on the edge of the pond in a daze, and a tongue flies over whenever a termite appears.
Lao Yang was amazed: "This little tongue is flexible." ”
Then a bold idea came to his mind......
The rain not only watered the small earthen pond but also watered the ant's nest umbrella, and this time there were eight mushrooms large enough to be picked, and he would definitely not be able to eat them in the morning, so he tied them up with a thread and hung them under the eaves at the back of the house to dry.
The taste of air-dried mushrooms is just as outstanding, and the representative of them is shiitake mushrooms.
Several fungi hang together, their umbrellas are large, and when the wind blows, they shake and hit each other, like wind chimes.
Silent wind chimes.
Yang Shubao hummed a small tune to prepare breakfast, the last time he went to the advent supermarket, he got a box of instant noodles and came back, and he could cook a instant noodles by himself this morning.
By chance, he peeked out and saw that the flat-headed brother who liked to come out of the day and night actually came out of the garden, and was running towards the back of the house with an inner figure.
Lao Yang frowned and found that things were not so simple, this goods would definitely not run out in the early morning for no reason, just like the old men would not run out at midnight for no reason, once they ran out, either there were buddies shouting to drink big wine or concubines shouting to make yellow.
There is a flat-headed brother in his territory, so there is no such thing as a buddy calling it, so there is only one truth: the bad bird of the honey eagle doesn't know what bad things to want to contact it.
Yang Shubao left the kitchen and looked behind the house, and saw more than a dozen ringing honey eagles flying around the Heim ant nest umbrella he had just hung up, and the fungus was swaying by the wind, and the honey eagles could not keep their mouths open and could only stare dryly.
Not all birds have the ability to hover in the air and peck at food.
The honey eagles wanted Brother Flathead to get the fungus for them, but the fungus hung too high, and Brother Flathead's short legs were not good at jumping, and it fell very painfully after jumping a few times, but it didn't even touch the fungus hairs, so it was discouraged.
Brother Pingtou left stupidly, mushrooms are not his dish.
The honey eagles looked at each other, and then continued to circle around the ant nest umbrella, but they could only circle and not eat a bite.
Yang Shubao laughed when he saw it, he deserved it!
He was very happy for a while, and then the instant noodles boiled, and he added the red chili sauce and the soy sauce eggs he boiled, and he was even happier as the fragrance filled.
After turning off the stove, he heard that the honey eagle was no longer screaming, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly went out to take a look.
He casually swept the ant-nest umbrella at first glance, and then he was confused: Damn, mouse? How can a mouse appear on the ant-nest umbrella hanging in the air?
At second glance, he was even more confused: this mouse still has wings?
Two eyes in a row startled him twice, and he squeezed his eyes hard to see what was going on, and it was not a mouse that flapped his wings and flew on the umbrella of the ant nest, but a few gray birds.
These birds are similar in size to honey eagles, but their feathers are gray-black, and they are very detailed like mouse hair, and their heads look very similar to mice, especially a little black bird stayed on the umbrella of the ant nest, and it gave its side face to Yang Shubao, which is especially like a mouse!
Their name is more like a mouse, which is a rat bird.
The first impression of rat birds is that of rats, they are not very generous, but they are very valuable, because this species is only found in parts of the sub-Saharan Desert, is very related to birds on other continents, and is taxonomically the smallest order of birds.
When they found out that they couldn't eat the ant nest umbrella, they left and were replaced by rats.
Except for hummingbirds, almost no other birds can hover in the air, neither can honey eagles and rat birds, but rat birds have a trick: their leg joints are very flexible, their claws are also flexible, and their claws can grasp different branches and make a horse.
The rat bird that would face Yang Shubao on its side showed such a stunt, its two claws grabbed the umbrella surface of an ant nest umbrella, its sharp nails grabbed into the fungus flesh, and it connected two ant nest umbrellas to fix them.
So while the ant nest umbrella was no longer blown by the wind, two rats and birds stood on their companions and pecked at the mushroom meat and ate it.
Yang Shubao was stunned, there is really no shortage of geniuses in wild birds, they can think of any way to eat!
There is also a mouse bird that is even more genius, it grabs the edge of the umbrella and hangs upside down on it, so that although the wind blows the ant nest umbrella and floats one after another, its body and the ant nest umbrella are relatively stationary, so as not to prevent it from pecking at the ant nest umbrella.
There is nothing genius about the fact that a rat bird can hang upside down from a tree branch like a bat.
But even bats can't eat upside down, neither can rat birds, and the reason why Lao Yang thinks it's a genius is because the rat bird pecks at the fungus meat and falls to the ground and then goes to the ground to eat.
Watching the flock of rats and birds pecking at his ant nest umbrella, Yang Shubao took out his mobile phone and took photos and recorded videos, and then he could only do that.
Ratbirds are very rare, and they are on the same level of rarity as the golden lion tamarin, and they are all endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
Among them, the golden lion tamarin only exists in the South American rainforest, and the mouse bird only exists in a corner of the African continent, they only have 1 family, 2 genera and 6 species, each of which is very small.
In comparison, being eaten with some ant nest umbrellas is nothing, rats and birds are small and have a small amount of food, they can't eat much, Lao Yang had to go with them, and he should contribute to the cause of bird protection.
