A large flock of cardinals rolling in the vegetable garden and orchard is a spectacular and rare sight, not only tourists, but also people from the surrounding villages are attracted to watch.

It's a lot of fun, but it's a fuck-up thing for the owner of the garden, and several families go out with brooms and even torches to drive away the birds.

So many birds appeared, and even gathered into a disaster, the people in the village couldn't stand it, and they came to ask Ao Muyang: "Village chief, can this bird catch and eat?"

Ao Muyang also has a headache, this little cardinal is quite harmful to the village, not only eating fruits and vegetables, they also poop everywhere, and there are bird feces everywhere in the clean village.

When a few families came back to drive away the birds, there were spots of bird droppings all over their bodies, and some people shouted: "This bird can really pull, it is like rain, and it is falling down." ”

"Put on a raincoat, there are no bacteria, viruses and parasites in this bird droppings. ”

According to the style of the people in the village in the past, so many small birds came to harm vegetables and fruits, and they must be caught in the net.

But now is different from the past, there are many tourists in the village, and there are many photos and videos, and they dare not attack the wild birds casually, for fear of being uploaded to the Internet to cause a storm.

In recent years, there are too many protected animals and birds in the country, although the number of this little cardinal does not look like an endangered species, but it has to be guarded against, what if it is indeed a protected bird?

Ao Muyang didn't recognize the identity of the bird, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

A tourist in the back said, "This looks like a red-billed queella finch, right? It's the kind of bird you've seen on the edge of the Sahara Desert, the kind of bird that can eat the grass into a desert?"

Ao Muyang didn't know the specific name of the bird, but the old man in the village provided a common name called Little Cardinal, but he searched the Internet and didn't find the exact bird of Little Cardinal.

Now that he had listened to the tourists' discussions, he hurried to ask, "What is this bird?"

The tourist frowned: "It looks like a red-billed queella finch, it seems to be called that?It belongs to a kind of cuckoo, I saw it when I traveled in Africa......"

"It's not a cuckoo, it's a weaver!" a little girl corrected dissatisfiedly, "Dad, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, knowledge is serious!"

"Okay, okay, serious, isn't this the village chief's uncle asking Dad? Dad must help. The tourist smiled dotingly.

Ao Muyang immediately checked the red-billed quelia finch, and the information he found made him feel that it was not right, this kind of bird is indeed very numerous, there are 10 billion in the whole of Africa, and they are the most numerous birds in the world.

But this bird lives in Africa, especially in the sub-Saharan Desert, this bird is a street rat in Africa, they often breed in large numbers during the autumn harvest, and then not only small birds and adults like to eat food, so it is a local agricultural pest bird.

The question is, this bird is introduced on the Internet as an African bird, but how did it come to China?

Ao Muyang found a few high-definition photos, and then found someone to catch a few birds and came back.

It's easy to catch birds, there are too many birds, and they like to stay in the trees, there are dozens of trees on the lake outside the village, and there are hundreds of them, and they cast a fishing net on them, and after dragging them down, they are some small birds in addition to the branches.

He caught a bird and compared it with the picture, it was indeed very similar, but it was also slightly different, the pure red-billed quelia finch had yellow back feathers with large black spots, and this bird was yellow with dense black lines.

It made him wonder, what kind of bird is this, if it's a red-billed queella finch, how can they get away from Africa and come to the Red Ocean? It's a bit of a distance.

The people in the village don't care about this, they just don't care if they can catch it, watching these little birds spoil the vegetable field and orchard, the big guy is distressed.

Moreover, the little cardinals eat vegetables and fruits outside the village, and when they enter the village, they are very popular, and they can compete with the dogs in the village for food!

When raising dogs in the village, they all throw a dog rice bowl in the yard, and usually throw leftovers into it, and when the dog is hungry, when to eat.

The cardinals were eyeing the pots, and they fluttered their wings and swept through the yard like a group of bombers.

After discovering the dog's rice bowl, they attacked it in groups - the offensive enthusiasm was extremely high, and they really swarmed, scrambled, and fought for me!

Dozens of small birds can be surrounded by a dog's rice basin, and these birds enclose the basin tightly, and some can't get in, so they stick down from above, like a bomb......

The dogs in the village were stunned, they had never seen such arrogant birds.

Cats like to catch birds, and dogs like to do it, one is to play and the other is to eat, but compared to cats with flexible postures, it is difficult for dogs to catch birds.

This time when they saw a flock of birds, the dogs were very happy at first, they went around to pounce on the birds, and when they pounced, they swallowed their feathers.

As a result, they didn't eat a few and they didn't eat it, this thing is not delicious, far less delicious than leftovers!

When it comes to leftovers, they find that their pots are occupied by birds, which makes them angry, and the dogs go home to defend their territory and defend the pots.

The cardinals began to show their fierceness, and the dogs could not snatch them, and when the birds gathered in flocks, they were not afraid of the dogs, and in order to snatch the food, they would bump into the dogs, and they would peck at the dogs.

After a few rounds, the dogs ran away with a wail, unwilling to give up their territory......

"What a fuck thing, what kind of bird, how do you look like a skua gull, it's too domineering!" the villagers scolded their mothers.

If there is a problem, find an expert, and Ao Muyang will go to Li Ji to solve the matter.

Li Ji is an expert in marine biology and does not study much about birds, but he has friends who are experts in related fields, so he made a phone call and the answer came out.

After hanging up the phone, he said to Ao Muyang: "This is the red-billed quelia finch, but it is an East Asian branch, which has appeared in the mountainous areas of the eastern coast of China, and has also been found in Dongying and Wanwan, but there are very few large-scale flocks like today, and the number of red-billed finchs in the East Asian branch is not as large as the South African branch." ”

"Can you catch it?"

Li Ji smiled and said: "I can catch it, after all, this is the largest number of birds in the world, so that the village can rest assured that the net should be put under the net, and the pot should be put under the pot, and this bird can be eaten." ”

With these words, Ao Muyang was relieved.

The hard-working and capable Chinese are the best at turning waste into treasure, and they are also the most curious, and whenever faced with an unfamiliar species, people will always ask three questions: Can it be eaten? Is it delicious? How to eat?

Now, the first problem has been solved, and Ao Muyang tells the villagers that the bird can be eaten.

What do you need to say? Every household immediately dispatched, and the news quickly spread from Longtou Village, and the surrounding villages affected by the cardinals were all transformed into war machines.

Turn the stove on, boil the water, turn on the oven!
