Chapter 130: The Stunned Green Falcon
"Even if it's an adult, it doesn't necessarily have to fight the warship bird, and I don't know what the battle will be. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The warship bird is a very tough and belligerent bird, and carries strong winds and waves, and its flight ability is stronger than that of the falcon, and the Falklands spotted falcon is a resident bird, that is, a bird that does not migrate, and to a certain extent, the resident bird of large birds of prey must be more aggressive.
However, the Falklands Turtle Falcon is a ...... Social birds, generally in groups of two or three, it stands to reason that this juvenile Falklands turtle falcon should have adult parents!
"Brother Gun, are you sure that thing can be called a golden eagle, why do I feel so small. ”
The wingspan of a warship in the sky is at most half a meter, and this falcon is even more unbearable, with a wingspan of only 30 centimeters at most, where it looks like an eagle, but like a pigeon.
"Look at its claws, and you won't suspect that it's a bird of prey, small but extremely brave, capable of flying into the sky with a rabbit of similar weight. ”
The reason why they are called golden eagles is that they are brown all over, even black, with sharp beaks, and the whole body shape is very similar to that of golden eagles, but the body size is only more than ten percent of that of golden eagles.
"If it's a real golden eagle, it is estimated that the warship bird will escape. ”
The golden eagle faces the face, with the claws like a bear's paw, pokes a hole, and the wings of the warship bird are wasted when one paw goes down.
Nicknamed the golden eagle, the falcon flutters its wings back and forth in the sky, fighting with the friship birds.
The warship bird attacks the falcon with its beak, and the falcon meets it with its claws.
Its beak is for eating, not for exporting.
"I'm in a hurry, Turtle Falcon Pill. ”
The falcon is indeed gradually exhausted, and a lot of feathers are falling in the sky.
The warship bird seems to have noticed that its opponent is getting weaker and weaker, and it is pressing forward step by step, aiming its long beak at the lower mouth of the turtle falcon.
The falcon deftly rolled over in the air, and then came behind the frigate bird!
"I'll go, the harrier will turn over!" The harrier is a sparrowhawk, and its body size is basically the same as that of the falcon.
This dexterous turn caught the warship bird off guard, and in the sky, under the camera, black feathers fell.
Obviously, the battleship bird with tough feathers did not resist the blow of the falcon!
Even if the frigate bird was injured, it was shaking its wings, crashing into the falcon, and turning back.
At this moment, it was obvious that blood was splattered.
The turtle falcon seemed to be very angry, and raised its claws directly with its back to the earth to grab the frigate bird, which was not good at using its claws and was hit in the abdomen.
The two big birds rolled in the air, tangled with each other, and finally, the snow-white forehead and chest of the white warship bird, full of blood, fell towards the earth.
And the falcon flapped its wings and turned over, and the eagle roared in the sky.
The next moment, the falcon flailed its wings vigorously and fell towards the forest.
"It's badly injured. ”
"With such a big difference in size, you actually won, which is worthy of being a falcon. ”
Fang Hong didn't expect the turtle falcon to win, and looked at the direction in which it landed: "Go and see!"
As for the warship birds...... Fall with your back to the earth and die.
Fang Hong didn't know that this warship bird had a lot of origins.
Seven months ago, the warship bird sailed from Madagascar, crossed the Indian Ocean alone, and made countless circles in the Indian Ocean, then to Sumatra, where it also made countless circles, and then across the Indian Ocean, disappearing at the Kosmonaido Atoll above Madagascar.
A European bird research team tracked the frigate bird for 183 days and witnessed the frigatebird's flight of 50,000 kilometers over six months.
In other words, if this friship bird does not go in circles, but flies straight, it can make a circle around the Earth's equator in four months.
Unexpectedly, this star in the research of the long-distance continuous flight ability of the warship bird actually died today.
And inexplicably, died in a battle with a falcon, which is not common for warship birds.
It is even less common for turtle falcons.
Why do falcons attack frigate birds?
It's an unsolved mystery that may never be solved.
Fang Hong moved forward quickly, and on the way, picked up a white blood-stained feather.
"The warship bird has conquered the sky and the storm, but it can't kill the falcon bird of prey. "Or rather, birds of prey belong to the order Falcon, and the frigate bird, despite its large size, is not a bird of prey in itself.
As we walked forward, a nest appeared on a tree branch, and there seemed to be a shadow of a turtle falcon in it.
"Nests built by tree branches, building nests with branches is the habit of large birds of prey, but this nest should not be built by falcons, which have a habit of robbing nests. ”
"Raid the lair...... Sounds lazy. ”
"Think about it, Sky Overlord, unless there are larger Falcon birds in this area, the Turtle Falcon is the Overlord, it can do whatever it wants, who can stop it?"
"Yes, the warship birds haven't done anything to it. ”
Fang Hong shook his head: "I estimate that the dead warship bird has a life-and-death feud with this falcon, and the falcon is also seriously injured, logically speaking, when they become adults, they are slightly smaller than the warship birds, not to mention the young falcon whose hair has not grown, it has no reason to fight with the warship bird inexplicably, is it just because the size of the warship bird threatens his status?"
But in fact, the turtle falcon does not eat other birds, and it has different habits from eagles and golden eagles.
Because of this, in this place where there are many birds, there are turtle falcons.
The Falklands are the same.
You say, what would happen if there were 10 golden eagles living on the Falklands?
"Brother Gun, do you want to ...... Climb up and take a look?"
"That's exactly what I mean. ”
"You won't be attacked if you climb up. ”
Fang Hong climbed up along the trunk of the tree, and when he reached a height of more than ten meters, he touched the branches, and climbed up a little more before he saw the situation in the nest.
In this nest, there are two turtle falcons.
One of them was a juvenile falcon that had just killed a frigate bird in the sky, and the other was a ...... Corpse.
Fang Hong, an uninvited guest, was very vigilant, but it didn't show too much hostility.
The birds on this island must have never seen a human before.
Fang Hong looked carefully: "This one should be the corpse of its brother, it seems that he died of snake venom." ”
The dead turtle falcon had two bloody holes in its legs, which had turned jet black.
"This island has a venomous snake?"
"There should be, the environment of this island is similar to that of the Falklands, the animals are similar, and there are many poisonous snakes on the Falklands, but none of them pose a threat to humans. ”
"However, the falcons are too small for humans, and their hearts beat fast, so they can easily die of poison. ”
Those poisonous snakes are not a threat to humans, because humans are large, and those poisonous snakes have a small amount of venom, at most they make humans feel nerve pain, but they can't kill humans, but it's different for birds.
Snakes should be staple food with frogs and birds.
"It seems that this turtle falcon flew into the sky, saw a large bird of prey, and thought that it had murdered its brother, so it rushed up to do it, so it seems that the warship bird died very unjustly. ”
"To sum up, this turtle falcon is a social bird with no brains. ”
"Brother Falcon in society, the bird doesn't talk much. ”
Fang Hong hurriedly got down the tree, took the gauze, climbed the tree, trapped his waist with a rope, then tied the trunk of the tree, and sat on the branch: "Come, heal you." ”
"It stands to reason that animals in the wild should be left to fend for themselves, and everyone should have said the same thing in biology class, but I think that's pseudoscience, after all, humans are also members of the ecosystem. ”
In our country, it is illegal to see a second-class or above protected animal injured in the wild and not rescue. The idea of natural selection without interfering with animals is only available in the West.
However, Westerners themselves are little experts in species destruction, and we still don't learn their conservation strategies well.
