806 Peacock is not funny
(Thanks to my friend Wang Baxian Turtle and IGOL monthly ticket for encouragement)
The Breeders' Cup Magical Ranch Racehorse was a huge success and became the darling of the media all of a sudden.
It's not okay if you don't pet it, even those who play the big horse racing industry, in modern times, there is no saying that they can win so many championships at once. In particular, Diandian's performance on the racetrack is still so amazing and personalized.
Liu Heming did not call everyone to go back together, but gave everyone a two-day vacation, so that everyone could have a good time here.
Horse racing, don't look at the race, just run on the track for a while, in fact, ordinary life is also very hard. It's not just the horses that need to be trained, but the jockeys have to be trained as well.
This year's competition is a bit of a journey, so it's time to relax and then continue to prepare for next year's competition. Next year will be a championship year, and there will be a lot of championship years.
Liu Heming and the others were not idle, and after waking up, they rushed to the Peacock Garden in Los Angeles County.
In fact, to be precise, this should be a botanical garden, but it is occupied by so many wild peacocks, so it has the name of Peacock Garden.
The botanical garden is also a small area, covering 127 acres. There are South American gardens, Mediterranean gardens, South African gardens, Australian gardens, etc., which are named after the regions where the plants grow.
The flowers here are very beautiful, which is also Liu Heming's first impression, and it also makes him very greedy.
It's just that even if he has this idea, he will do one at home in the future, and he doesn't have the ability. The climate at home is not good, so you can only engage in a greenhouse garden. It's okay if the scale is small, but if you follow the pattern here, the orchard at home is small.
But there are so many flowers, there is no attraction for Alex, and the little one has long been hooked by the peacocks in the garden.
No matter how beautiful your flowers are, is it fun to have peacocks? Not long after entering the garden, there are dozens of peacocks around the little one. And at this scale, there is a growing trend.
"Alex likes these peacocks very much, what are you going to do?" Sasha asked as she threw the little noisy stroller into the peacock flock as well, then looked at Liu Heming.
"I'm also worried, but I've read some information, and it seems that these peacocks reproduce quite quickly, but they grow slowly. Liu Heming said with a wry smile.
For the sake of his daughter, he can really do anything. At first, he thought that these peacocks would be easy to manage, after all, there are many zoos, and there are more than 200 peacocks living here.
But after carefully checking the information, I found that it was not as optimistic as I saw.
Peacocks can be broadly divided into blue peacocks, green peafowls, and Congo peacocks. In this botanical garden, all the blue peacocks live, which belong to the largest number of peacock groups and are also the most artificially cultivated.
But the condition of the green peafowl is not so wonderful, and it is now an endangered species. Because their egg production and successful hatching rate are much lower than those of blue peacocks.
The blue peacock can lay about 40 eggs a year, and the success rate of artificial incubation can also reach 80%. The green peafowl only lays about 20 eggs a year, and the hatching success rate is less than 30%.
And that's just for laying eggs and hatching, they still have to grow. Because of the high requirements for the living environment, it is not easy for them to grow up, which causes the green peafowl to become an endangered species.
As for the Congolese peacocks, this particular peacock population is not so optimistic, as they only live in the Republic of Congo.
The natural environment, wars, and disaster victims are encroaching on their living space little by little, and now they are also transitioning from a vulnerable level to an endangered level.
If it's just to fool the girl today and get two blue peacocks, this will definitely be fine. Because of the large population technology of blue peafowl, they are not so important.
But what about the future? Alex watched TV and found that there were other peacocks. What to do at that time? The little guy is also very curious about this knowledge, and people occasionally hold their mobile phones to find relevant information.
Just thinking about it, three green peacocks also ran to Alex's side. Their feathers were too dazzling in this pile of blue peacocks, and they were discovered by Alex at once.
Seeing Alex holding the green peacock and studying it carefully, Sasha stabbed Liu Heming very happily and squeezed her eyes.
"People say that husband and wife are of the same heart, you can't see me embarrassed, help me find a way. Liu Heming looked at Sasha and said pitifully.
"What can I do? And even if we buy it, we can't raise it at home, the temperature at home is too low. Sasha said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"You can't give up so easily, you must help Alex in one step. Liu Heming waved his fist, and then took out his mobile phone.
Sasha looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he had come up with.
What can he do, ask someone for help? And the only person he can think of is Afred, who is "supernatural" in the animal kingdom.
"Dexter, congratulations, Diandian's performance is really great, when are you coming back?"
"I will only go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and they will arrive home later. Liu Heming said.
"Alfred, there is something I need your help with this time, something very important, very important. I think it should be easy for you. ”
"Dexter, you'd better talk about something. Why do I always think it's so difficult?" said Alfred with a laugh.
"Actually, it's nothing, can you help me contact some peacocks, blue, green, Congolese. Alex loves these peacocks, and the ranch's orchard will be ready for use next year, which will make them happy. Liu Heming pretended to be relaxed and said.
Alfred is an expert in wildlife conservation, and when he hears his words, he frowns. He didn't have to check the information, he also knew that except for the blue one, the rest of the two were not easy to get.
"Dexter, I can only contact the rest of the organizations to see if there is anything that needs help or can be introduced into breeding. After a moment of silence, Alfred said.
"Yes, I also want to make some contribution to the protection of the peacock population. In fact, if there is no big peacock, the small one is fine, even if it is a peacock egg. Liu Heming hurriedly said.
"Do you have any experience hatching peacock eggs?" Alfred said helplessly.
"Hehe, I don't, but you do. You have experience, I have the equipment here. Now our chickens, ducks and geese are all hatched by themselves, and the survival rate is very high. Liu Heming said happily.
"Okay, I'll try to help you find it. Peacock eggs are easier to find, and the survival rate can be higher if you take good care of your ranch. Alfred thought for a moment and nodded.
Actually, he didn't want to agree to Liu Heming's request for such a "non-divided", because he knew that Liu Heming must be collecting friends for Alex.
It's just that he suddenly remembered that Liu Heming's care for animals here is far more than all zoos and wildlife protection organizations at a real level.
The charming girl with a broken leg, the dying tiger, and the burned animals rescued from the forest fire, everyone is now living well, and they are all alive and kicking.
Although Liu Heming's rescue of the animals in the wildfires and floods last time also attracted some criticism, you have to admit that in other people's pastures, those animals really live happily.
Liu Heming is not bad, if the hatching is really successful, the chance of these peacocks surviving will be much higher. After all, there are not many people who can be as wealthy as Liu Heming and are willing to invest in it.
As for the green peafowl and Congo peacock in the rest of the zoos, it is not that there are none, but there are fewer of them. Moreover, Liu Heming's ranch was originally also a zoo, and the procedures for introduction would be much simpler.
hung up the phone with Alfred, and Liu Heming's originally bitter expression changed to smugness.
I'm still very smart, and the problem that was still very tricky just now was solved so easily. That's called a confidence burst, as long as the peacock eggs in the future can hatch into small peacocks, he dares to raise them smoothly.
Survival rate? There is really no such thing in your own home, you have to grow up obediently.
Sasha is a little helpless, this can be regarded as another way of "using power for personal gain". But she didn't think anything, the animals at home were indeed living happily.
At least in terms of free-range breeding, it is much stronger than many zoos, and it can be regarded as an outlier among all zoos.
Alex is really having fun here, such a large group of peacocks, with long tails, are shaken off, and the big tails on one side and one side look really good.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that the door was closed, and Liu Heming left here with the little guy.
After careful communication with the garden, the peacock that had been mixing with them also belonged to Liu Heming after Liu Heming gave a donation of 10,000 US dollars, as a symbol of friendship between the botanical garden and the magical ranch.
So, sometimes you can spit on the dirt and sinister that money brings, but you can't help but admit that this thing has a very powerful attribute power in many cases.
is not much weaker than the attributes given to Liu Heming and Alex by the system, and even in this performance, it is much more powerful than that.
Even if Liu Heming is now "wealthy", this $10,000 is a bit painful. But on the plane home, seeing that the girl temporarily threw away the kangaroo son, she hugged the peacock and chatted happily, and the money was well spent.
As for the small trouble, people can climb with two koalas in the room, and the requirements are not high.
