"Don't look at this one, it's really smart. When he saw the blue-purple and gold parrot, the old gentleman's face distorted, obviously understanding the character of the parrot.

Luo Tong nodded, the comic is obvious, as for being smart, being able to say so many things, you can't say that it's not smart against your will.

Whether to take this parrot home or not, Luo Tong has not decided yet, she has to take another look.

As he walked to a birdcage, Luo Tong stopped. The old gentleman walked beside Luo Tong, and when he saw the two birds Luo Tong saw again, he smiled slightly.

This little girl is quite interesting, she is not eyed by so many colorful birds in his shop, but she is interested in these two gray parrots for now.

The two parrots were not very large, only about half the size of the blue-purple parrot just now, but they were bigger than the traditional budgies.

For some unknown reason, there was a slightly smaller gray parrot with all the fur on its left wing pecked, revealing its flesh-pink skin.

The other one also has more or less hair loss, which looks very miserable, and the state is not very good, and it feels like they are a little depressed.

"This is the African grey parrot, which also belongs to the category of large parrots. Seeing that Luo Tong had been staring at the two parrots, the shopkeeper introduced it inappropriately.

"Because they are tame and intelligent, the number of grey parrots in the wild has declined dramatically. They are now on the endangered list, so it is illegal to keep them. ”

Hearing that it was illegal, Luo Tong immediately looked at the shopkeeper, meaning that you still sell it if it is illegal

The old gentleman smiled, "I'm talking about wild, and what is bred in captivity can be sold, as long as it is bought through regular channels." ”

Hearing that it was artificially bred, Luo Tong was relieved. She is a good law-abiding citizen, and she can't do anything that violates the rules.

"What happened to these two gray parrots, their feathers"

It was even more shocking to look at it up close, and the smaller gray parrot looked pitiful. It hung its head down, its crescent-shaped mouth looking to peck at its feathers again.

Luo Tong subconsciously shouted "Don't peck"

But as if the gray parrot had not heard, it quickly brought down a tuft of fine hair. Luo Tong couldn't bear to close her eyes, and her heart was pantothenic when she saw this scene.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "These two gray parrots were returned by the guests a few days ago, they don't like this pair of gray parrots, if I don't accept them, they are ready to dispose of them." ”

What does this so-called disposal mean, Luo Tong understood it as soon as he heard it. She looked at the two gray parrots with a sad expression, and her eyes were full of distress.

It turned out to be a pair of abandoned parrots, which is very embarrassing to hear.

"Speaking of those young people, maybe they are too young. When they first came to the store, they asked for the smartest parrot, and the smartest of them was the African gray parrot. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper also sighed with emotion.

"At first they didn't like the grey parrot, but when they heard that it was the smartest parrot, they bought it and left. ”

"If I had known that they had done such a thing, I would never have chosen to sell the grey parrots to them in the first place. ”

"It's been less than a month since I went back to raise it, and I came to ask for a return. They said that the gray parrots were too ugly, took them out to lose face, and threatened that if my side didn't collect them, they would end up with the gray parrots. ”

Now recalling the young couple's approach, the shopkeeper is also angry. Those like them who do the flower and bird business are very kind-hearted, especially not used to seeing such people who disregard life.

"What can I do but consider myself unlucky, and take this gray parrot back, but I have not sold other parrots to them, such people are destined not to be responsible for other lives. ”

Luo Tong was also speechless about this pair of young people when he heard this, you either don't raise them, since you have chosen to have parrots, then you have to be responsible for them.

"Is that why they're like this because they've been abandoned?"

"Yes, the grey parrot is a parrot that needs companionship and care a lot, they are introverted and shy, and if they don't have enough care and affection, they will develop feather pecking. ”

Luo Tong couldn't listen anymore, she interrupted the shopkeeper, "You can make a price, I like this pair of gray parrots very much, I will take good care of them." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Luo Tong with a serious face, obviously genuinely liking the pair of gray parrots.

He sighed, "Are you really sure you want to keep them, even if they don't get very close to you, it's hard for the grey parrot to accept a second owner." ”

"Yes, I want them" Luo Tong was categorical, and the more she did, the more she wanted the gray parrots.

"Okay, you wait, I'll catch it for you. ”

After receiving Luo Tong's affirmative answer, the shopkeeper was also refreshed, and he opened the birdcage to catch the two gray parrots. Luo Tong suddenly said, "Can you let me come by myself?"

"Are you sure," the shopkeeper raised an eyebrow, "this grey parrot is still very aggressive towards strangers, and it won't be good if it bites you." ”

"It's okay, let me try. ”

Seeing that Luo Tong insisted on doing this, the shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and moved out of the way.

Luo Tong stretched out his hand, released the greatest kindness, and slowly leaned towards the gray parrot. What distressed her the most was the slightly smaller gray parrot, which was still mechanically pecking at its feathers.

It didn't react to Luo Tong's approach, Luo Tong dragged its stomach and carefully hugged it out. It paused, stopped pecking at its own fur, and turned its head to look at Luo Tong.

Just like that, the shopkeeper almost cried with joy.

"You've been the favorite person he's loved since he's been back, and he's loved you, and he's been nagging at the slightest stretch of his hand. ”

Luo Tong pursed his lips, and his mind was all on the gray parrot. She touched the soft fine hair on the top of the gray parrot's head, "I like you too, come home with me." ”

Her movements were very gentle, and the gray parrot looked at Luo Tong twice, and her expression was still sad, but she no longer plucked her feathers.

Luo Tong touched its intact wings on the other side rewardingly, "This is good, there are a lot of nuts at home, you can eat whatever you want when the time comes." ”

The other one in the birdcage saw that this one did not resist, and slowly flew out of the birdcage. It circled around for a while, then tentatively stopped on Luo Tong's shoulder.

Luo Tong tilted his head, his cheek rubbing against its wings.

"I like them so much, just give them to me. ”
