Chapter 810: Imprint Response
Let Grandpa Qi want to find a chance to talk to these two, he can't find a chance at all, which can't help but make Grandpa Qi very depressed, and he still wants to contact Xiao Ash and Gray again.
Although he misses Xiao Ash and Gray Ash, Luo Tong does not favor one over the other, and he can't take care of Luo Tong meticulously. Because of his experience in taking care of Tiantian, Luo Tong is very familiar with taking care of a little bit.
The due date of the dot is a month later, which is about the same time as the baby parrot breaks its shell. The general incubator for parrots is 29 days, and it is difficult for several to get together.
Under Luo Tong's careful care, several of them are in very good condition, and Dr. Xu has also come to see them a few times. Seeing that Diandian's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Dr. Xu came to a conclusion: "Diandian is the past two days, you have to be more detailed." ”
Luo Tong simply moved the dots to the house to take care of them, the orchard was too far away, and she couldn't rush over in time. At noon on the second day after Diandian moved into the house, Diandian was activated.
Because of the very careful care and good physique, within an hour, all seven puppies came to this world. Gently lick the mucus off the puppy and let the puppies drink milk under their belly.
The third junior came in and sniffed at the puppies, and it turned its head to lick Diandian's head, and lay down on the outside of Diandian. Now it's also a father's dog, so there's no need to envy the second year of junior high school.
Looking at the warmth of the junior high school and the little bits, Luo Tong lightly covered the door and went out. After coming out, she found that her eyes didn't know when they were red, and she was touched by the warmth between Diandian and the third year of junior high school.
Sheng Qiwu came over and took her hand, "There seems to be something wrong with Gray Ash, it seems that the little parrot is about to come out." ”
Luo Tong's little emotion just now disappeared in an instant, she hadn't seen the little parrot break its shell, and the two ran to the storage room at that moment. In the storage room, Ash and Ash were standing in the nest, looking at the three balls in the middle of the nest with serious faces.
These two eggs are very nervous now, Ash Ash has been incubating for so long, and today they are about to break out of their shells, how can they not be nervous?
Luo Tong sat cross-legged in front of the gray nest, and so did Sheng Qiwu, and the two of them looked at the three balls in the middle without blinking. Both of them breathed lightly, and the storage room was very quiet.
In the anticipation of the two gray parrots, a small fine line suddenly appeared on the shell of the middle egg, Luo Tong saw it at once, and she shouted softly: "It's about to come out." ”
Sheng Qiwu suddenly held the ash and stuffed it into Luo Tong's hand, and Luo Tong blinked incomprehensibly. Sheng Qiwu covered his lips and coughed: "Do you know the imprint effect?"
"The imprint effect?" Luo Tong blinked, what does this mean?
In 1910, the German behaviorist Heinrot discovered a very interesting phenomenon during his experiments: the goose that had just broken out of its shell would instinctively follow its mother at first sight. However, if the first thing it sees is not its mother, but some other moving object, it will automatically follow it. It is especially important that once the goose has developed a following response to one object, it is impossible for it to form a following response to other objects. In technical terms, the formation of this follow-up reaction is irreversible, whereas in layman's terms, it only recognizes the first, ignoring the second. ”
"You're worried that the first thing the parrots will see when they come out will be us?"
Luo Tong immediately understood what Sheng Qiwu meant, Sheng Qiwu glanced at Xiao Ash out of the corner of his eyes, "It's good that Ash has been busy for so long, if the fruit is picked by you in the end, you see if Xiao Ash will find you desperate." ”
"What then? I'm still thinking about watching the parrot break out of its shell. Luo Tong was entangled, if this really happened, she also felt a little sorry for Xiao Ash and Gray Ash.
Sheng Qiwu smiled: "It's not simple, we put the mobile phone here, and after recording the whole process, we can watch the little parrot break its shell on the computer." ”
Seeing that the cracks on the eggshell were getting bigger and bigger, Luo Tong immediately decided: "Just do it!"
She put ash in front of a few balls, and after Sheng Qiwu set up her phone, the two of them exited the storage room. Out of the storage room, Luo Tong let out a long breath.
"So worried?" Sheng Qiwu laughed, and Luo Tong gave him a blank look: "Of course I'm worried, if this situation really happens, how can they accept the glass hearts of Xiao Ash and Gray Ash." ”
Hearing Luo Tong describe Xiao Ash and Ash as glass hearts, Sheng Qi Wuwan smiled. Indeed, among the animals in the house, Ash and Ash are arguably the most delicate and sensitive.
Maybe it's because they're too smart, Sheng Qiwu sometimes thinks so. But it's okay now, I believe that after having a little parrot, these two will be more cheerful.
Despite the video recorded on his mobile phone, Luo Tong was still not at ease, and every now and then he had to glance at the door of the storage room. It took a very long time for the parrots to break their shells, and it wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that Luo Tong saw through the crack in the door that all the parrots had come out.
Luo Tong didn't go in to disturb them, he wanted to see the parrots, and there would be opportunities in the future. Now her priority is to take good care of Ash, after all, raising a baby parrot is also very laborious.
Give Ash and Ash a good dinner, and the two go to the resort center. Confirming the birth of a new family member, Luo Tong's mood is not good.
"I'll talk to Grandpa Qi later, and tell him that Gray Ash and Little Gray have little parrots, so that he won't have been chasing me recently and asking Little Gray and Gray how to go to the resort center so little. ”
Sheng Qiwu stretched, and Luo Tong nodded: "I should tell him, but I'm worried that he will have to come over to see the little parrot if he knows it, what will he do then?"
Sheng Qiwu smiled: "He can watch it if he wants, it just so happens that he can still help take care of Ash Ash, doesn't it save you things?"
Luo Tong thought about it, she glanced at Sheng Qiwu, "I guess the house will be very lively tonight." ”
"The parrot and the puppy are all born, and everyone will definitely come to see them. ”
Sheng Qiwu shrugged: "I was mentally prepared as early as when I gave birth to a puppy, the grandparents happened to be bored recently, and now that there are new members, they are definitely coming." ”
"That's fine, it's a lot of people, and I haven't seen the color of the puppy before I hear you say that the parrot is about to break its shell. ”
Thinking of this, Luo Tong complained a little. When it started at o'clock in the afternoon, she put a lot of attention on Diandian's body, but she didn't look carefully at the puppies, and she didn't know what they looked like.
