Chapter Eighty-Five: Eagle Gear

Bidding farewell to Uncle Orion, Li Junge hummed as he walked: "Jealousy! These two are the jealousy of Hongguoguo!"

Then he said to the peregrine falcon: "Look at your pockmarked body, I will call you pockmarked in the future!"

At noon, Li Junge stewed the pheasants caught by the peregrine falcon. Then he took the peregrine falcon around the village and told it not to catch the chickens and ducks in the village.

That night, Uncle Orion came to Li Junge's house and brought a set of eagle equipment.

While showing Li Junge this set of eagle equipment, Uncle Orion introduced the use of it to Li Junge.

Uncle Orion said: "This is a set of things left by my falcon many years ago, some of which are old objects handed down by my ancestors, and some of them can still be used now, and some of them were added later." Let's see what works. ”

He took out a small leather case in the shape of a gourd and said: "This is an eagle's hat, mostly made of leather, hand-sewn, and put on the head of the falcon to expose only its mouth, covering its eyes so that it cannot see." The goal is to keep the falcon quiet and avoid swooping and ramming, injuring its feathers and tail, or injuring its body. The protection of the feathers of the falcon is the most important, as the old saying goes, 'the knife is fresh and the axe is together', which is the embodiment of the cultivation, the better the integrity of the feathers, the more beautiful the eagle falcon's flying posture becomes. ”

Then he took out two more leather tubes and said, "This is the foot loop, which is used to wrap the tubular sheath of the open rod part of the raptor's legs, and the materials are threaded and leather." This one of mine is made of leather, and its function is to tie the falcon's legs and protect the rod at the same time. ”

"This is called 'two opens', which are two strips of leather or hand-braided rope tied to the foot loops, and the length is not more than the end of the tail feathers. When the eagle stands on the arm and pinches the two opens, removes the toad and five feet, and sets the eagle falcon to hunt. ”

"This is the toad and the five feet, the toad is the connection between the two openings and the circle, shaped like a figure 8 line, the material is divided into leather and thread. Five feet is a piece of leather rope or hand-braided rope of the patriarch below the circle, the function is to tie the eagle falcon to give the bird of prey a larger range of activity, the end of the five feet is tied to the bottom of the eagle bar or falcon platform, when the eagle falcon walks and breaks into the face, the five feet are wrapped around the other three fingers other than the thumb and ten fingers. ”

"The metal ring connecting the toad and the five feet is called a circle, and it can rotate 360 degrees up and down. The materials are copper, steel, alloy, etc., and the function is to prevent the falcon from being wound in two openings and a five-foot rope."

"This is an eagle glove, the eagle glove is to protect the hands and arms from being scratched by the claws of the falcon wearing leather professional eagle training gloves, the role is to protect the arm when the eagle is training the eagle. ”

"This is a bell, which is generally worn on the legs or tail of the falcon, and is made of copper and silver, compared to ordinary bells, this professional eagle bell has a loud sound and light weight. The reason for hanging bells is that falcons will fly down in the woods or grass farther away when chasing their prey, and people can find them by listening to the sound of the bells, and now that there are electronic trackers, that thing is even more advanced. ”

"This is the falcon platform, which is the place where the falcon stands and perches, the table top is cushioned with professional fake turf and is soft and breathable, to prevent the falcon's paws from getting avian palmitis, the height ranges from 35-50 cm, and the weight of the base is based on the falcon can not pull it down!"

"The shelves where the falcon roost are different, they are different, the eagle's is called the eagle bar, and the falcon's is called the falcon, which is determined by the habits of the falcon. Eagles mainly inhabit the treetops, and falcons mainly perch on alpine cliff platforms, so there is an old saying that 'if an eagle does not go to the stage, a falcon does not stand on a pole'. ”

"The role of the bar is also to wipe the eagle's beak. They wipe their mouths when they have eaten, and they have to repair their nails. If the eagle does not have a bar, it will bruise its claws and dull its beak, and if the falcon does not have a platform and always goes on the bar, it is easy to get foot diseases. ”

"That's pretty much it, and there are other bits and pieces, like bait, eagle whistles, nest picking, etc. ”

Li Junge was amazed while playing with these eagle equipment, my Great China falconry training technology is also so complex and profound, and asked curiously: "Uncle Orion, you said in the morning that this eagle recognized the master, and the owner just won't run away?"

Uncle Orion said: "The falcon is the owner, and some eagles, such as the harrier, recognize you better than the falcon, but don't want to follow you like a dog." The eagle is a handsome animal, and if you want to be like a dog, you will not be an eagle, but a bird. ”

"Eagles raised since childhood can be very close to people, but because there is no eagle to teach, they can't do anything. Such eagles have very behavioral disorders, such as not being able to communicate with their own kind, not being able to take care of themselves, and most importantly, many of them cannot hunt. ”

"But even if the eagle hatches by man, he can run, and this is one of the great things about the falcon! The relationship between man and the eagle is nothing but subjugation. ”

The subordinate dogs nodded straightly, we are still the most loyal! What is so good about that little tease than flying! Grandpa Orion is still rare, don't want it! Protest! Raise your paws in protest!

After Uncle Orion said this, he said to Li Junge: "But your head is a little beyond my knowledge, I have heard for the first time that falcons will also send pheasants to their masters. ”

Speaking of this, Li Junge laughed again and said, "This is character! By the way, my falcon is healthy?

"It's not just healthy, you're an adult wild falcon, you can be described as handsome, it's a pity that it's a male, it's better if it's a female. ”

"Yo, why is the female better than the male?"

"Great, the female falcon is a circle larger than the male falcon, so the prey that can be caught is also larger. ”

Uncle Orion continued: "According to the experience of experts, the health of the eagle depends on the eagle white, that is, the eagle feces. The eagle excretes its droppings while (pooping), and the farther it hits, the healthier the eagle becomes. Of course, this also has something to do with fishing water and not fishing water, fishing water is to feed it water with a gourd or by hand, and those who do not fish for water do not play far. ”

"Falcons are all hot things. It is not afraid of the cold. On the Hanging Sky Village, there have been several degrees below zero at night in winter, but as long as the fat is big, you can throw it outside. However, Lijiagou is too hot in summer. Water basins must be given in the summer. Let it bathe. ”

Li Junge said: "I didn't think about training it as a falcon, I was willing to play with me, it was fate, I didn't want to stay and go, and I didn't force it, so I wanted a falcon platform and an eagle glove, it was originally a wild falcon, and it was not good to detain it with those things." By the way, there is also this one that is useful. ”

After speaking, he picked up the whistle, put it in his mouth, and said, "Yo, why doesn't it sound?"

Uncle Orion said: "This is an eagle whistle, people can't hear it, only eagles and dogs can hear it." ”

After talking about the training of the eagle, Li Junge remembered one more thing, ran into the house and took out two green stones from the space, came out and showed them to Uncle Orion, and asked, "Uncle Orion, do you know what kind of stone this is?"

Uncle Orion said: "I don't know, but I know that there are many in this stone Jade Dragon Creek, what are your two pieces, they are all big, and they are all washed with holes and eyes, which are much better than yours!"

Li Junge was surprised: "Yo! You have really seen it, I was still in Yulong Creek two days ago, and I didn't see such a stone." ”

Uncle Orion said, "You're going fishing, right? Where did you go, the Jade Dragon Creek continued to go up, there was no soil on both sides, it was full of stone walls, the stream narrowed, the water was so big that it couldn't stand, and the boat couldn't go up, and the stone was under the water." Climb along the stone wall, and then walk up more than five miles to a jade dragon pond, in which this kind of stone is bigger. Sometimes robber water, and some of the stone will be brought out. You're still the same problem as a child, and you like to pick up these things to play, but the terrain is too treacherous, I don't recommend you to go. Besides, those stones are too big for you to transport. ”

Li Junge was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that now I have space in my hand, how big a stone can't be brought out, I must go and see it when I have time one day.

He took Uncle Orion to see his own wild boar, and Orion said that he frowned and said, "You boar babies haven't been gelding." ”

The little boars are frightened, Dad, this is a bad person, he wants to cut people***, don't don't don't!

Uncle Orion grabbed the tail of a little boar and dragged it over, gestured on the pig's belly, and said: "Pull a hole here, take out the **, it only knows how to eat and grow fat." ”

The little boar is screaming hoarsely, struggling desperately, Daddy, save me, this bad guy is on the map!

Li Junge hurriedly took the pig baby over to appease, remembering that these little pigs are also spiritual enough, and they are almost the same as the subordinate dogs, and they are really reluctant to castrate, so he said: "Look at it again, these little pigs are very spiritual, I will pull them to the mountains to try another day, if they can be free-range, there is no need for geldings." ”

I thought about bringing them into the space one day to try them and see how they reacted.

Uncle Orion laughed and said, "What's the matter, you're still going to raise them as dogs?"

Li Junge said: "Why not? I heard that the French rely on pigs to find mushrooms. ”

The little boars nodded their heads, yes, yes, we can all help Dad find mushrooms, we are useful!

Uncle Orion touched his chin, nodded, looked at the piglets with a smile and said, "This free-range castration is better and has a more docile temper." ”

The little boars screamed again, why did this bad guy keep greeting people three ways! People are very well-behaved! Dad hasn't come to see us for so long, we haven't rebelled, how docile can we be! Dad can't listen to him, can't cut ***!

Li Junge laughed and said, "Let's see how they perform in the future." If you're not good, hey, hey, that's it!"

The piglets were so frightened that they shivered around the corner.

Seeing off Uncle Orion, Li Junge sorted out his thoughts and thought about what he had to do recently. It's time for the subordinate dog to go to the city to get vaccinated; now that the deposit is three million, it's time to go to Panao Township to sign a contract for contracting the Wuxi River; the Japanese carpenter is coming to receive him soon; the stones in the Yulong Creek that Uncle Orion said are going to be investigated; there is a base for the Luya competition right away, and it can also be used to receive colleagues from Yuzhou; hundreds of acres of fish ponds must be cleared out of the space for grazing crucian carp; the fourth grandfather's birthday is approaching, and he must also prepare; and there is a group of babies to bring. You have to do everything yourself, and if you count it down, it's really not young or old in recent times.

I couldn't help but lie on the bed and sigh, is this a lot of work? I have to pick on the business of selling lychees, why are I still so busy......
