Chapter Seventy-Four: Queensland

I drove all the way north to west and soon came to Queensland. But before that, he passed through the mountain tunnel that crosses the Great Dividing Range.

There are special light strips in the highway tunnel, which can alleviate the driver's visual fatigue and ensure driving safety. Through different lighting and pattern changes, the extra-long tunnel is transformed into several short tunnels, so as to eliminate the anxiety and depression of the driver. It looks very beautiful and has a dreamlike feeling.

In addition, there was a beautiful scenery sitting in the co-pilot, talking and laughing with him, and the time passed quickly, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Queensland is one of the six states of Australia whose name is in honor of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. It covers an area of 1,727,200 square kilometers, accounting for about 22.4% of the Australian continent, making it the second largest state in Australia.

This number may not be very clear to many people, but Zhang Yun can clearly tell him that Queensland is even bigger than XJ. XJ is the largest provincial unit in China.

SD is China's largest economic province, the second most populous province, and the hometown of temperate fruits in China, with a GDP ranking third in the country, accounting for 1/9 of China's total GDP. However, it has an area of only 158,000 square kilometers. In other words, eleven SDs are as big as Queensland.

At the same time Queensland is 4.5 RB size. That is to say, the big RB empire that dared to kick all over Asia, dare to go to war with the United States, bomb Pearl Harbor, and compete for the Pacific Ocean in the past is only a quarter of the area of a state in Australia. And Queensland is not yet Australia's largest state. This cannot but be said to be an irony.

On the way, he learned from the Internet that after these days of searching, information about the night parrot appeared from time to time, and its feathers and footprints were found, and even a few videos were taken.

It's just that because it was shot at night, the picture quality is not very clear, but it is indeed a night parrot.

This greatly boosted the confidence that the night parrot would be found this time.

Before Zhang Yun came, he thought that he didn't know how many people were looking for night parrots there, but when he came to the camp, he only saw a few cars. He was disappointed for a while.

Let the three little ones wait in the car, he went down with the beautiful scenery, and was about to inquire about the situation, when someone came out of the room.

This is a blonde man in his thirties, more than 1.8 meters tall, with a strong body and protruding muscles. Even under the cover of wide clothing, a powerful explosive force can be felt.

Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was a security guard-like officer. He came over and shook Zhang Yun's hand first, and said, "Hello sir, are you also here to look for night parrots?" ”

Zhang Yun nodded yes, saying that he was a parrot lover, and he happened to hear that there were night parrots here, so he came over to help find them.

The man didn't invite him in, but stopped there and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, just disappointed you." In order to better protect the living environment of night parrots, so that they can live better here.

We have reduced the number of volunteers. Now there are only a few animal protection organizations that invite experts and professors to work here. Here, they will conduct a careful search for the night parrots and make detailed plans to ensure that the night parrots will survive here. ”

Although he didn't explicitly let Zhang Yun go back, the meaning was very obvious, he didn't want Zhang Yun to come here to help.

Zhang Yun can understand the reason why night parrots rarely appear in front of people's eyes. The main reason is that they are scarce in number, difficult to reproduce, and themselves are not suitable for most environments.

So the only way to keep them alive is to find a way to rescue them. It's a good idea to study their habits to help them reproduce.

However, this kind of thing can only be carried out by specialized people. Those experts and professors have the most advanced equipment, the most advanced technology, but it is difficult to achieve.

Other volunteers were even less helpful in this regard. On the contrary, it is easy to be kind enough to help.

Therefore, it is the best option to reduce the number of volunteers and leave only expert professors to study on their own.

And Zhang Yun is an ordinary volunteer. Since obtaining the trick of beast control, Zhang Yun has been able to perceive the thoughts of animals, and he himself is also a trustworthy partner in the eyes of animals. He is sure that no one can do better in this regard than he can.

Moreover, he has a beautiful view, and no man wants to lose face in front of a woman.

So he said, "You're right, but I think you'll need a good searcher to find traces of night parrots, and no one is better at that than I am." ”

It's no wonder that the security guards can believe him, everyone can say that. "Perhaps, but we don't need it here. Please go back and wait for news at home. As soon as there is an update on the night parrot, we will post it online. ”

An old man in a white coat with white hair got out of the RV, and Zhang Yun saw with keen eyes that the car was loaded with various precision instruments. There are also a few identical motorhomes next door, needless to say the same.

It can be seen that Australia's animal protection organizations have spent a lot of effort for this night parrot incident.

In this way, he should stay even more so that he can contribute to the night parrots.

"Hubert, what's wrong? Are there any more volunteers? You make it clear and let him go. Last time, if it weren't for that idiot volunteer, I would have found traces of a night parrot long ago. ”

Hubert spread out his hand and made a helpless gesture. "Sir, please go back, as you can see, you are not welcome here. Professor Aubrey last spotted a night parrot and is observing. As a result, the night parrot left due to the intrusion of volunteers, and the night parrot was never found again. ”

Zhang Yun was helpless, and was about to leave, waiting for tomorrow to find a way to come over. Seven Up and Coke got out of the car and flew over his shoulders and chirped. Zhang Yun sensed it, this is because they saw countless sunflower parrots in the forest, so they wanted to play with them.

Aubrey saw two purple and blue macaws, his eyes lit up, he is a professor who specializes in parrots, he knows parrots very well, how can he not look at two purple and blue macaws when he sees them.

And then I can't pull it out. What made him unbelievable was that there were no ankle rings on the feet of the blue macaw. This, how is this possible!

The ankle ring is equivalent to the parrot's ID card, and there are only two types of ID cards that do not have this kind of ID card. One is wild birds, which live in the wild and of course do not have ankle rings.

The other is parrots that are too low in value, such as budgies. Ankle rings are also to be bought, and in budgies like budgies, which are worth a few dollars, a single ankle ring is worth more than them, and of course no one will put them on an ankle ring.

The purple and blue macaw is the most expensive parrot in the world, and if it is an artificial bird, it will not fail to put a leg ring on it.

But it is impossible to say that they are wild birds. When have you ever seen a wild bird that can play freely with people? Which wild bird did not see a man, and he was afraid and desperately tried to escape from the control of man.

This made him very confused, and he didn't know why this was happening. I couldn't help but ask, "Young man, why don't you two parrots have ankle rings?" And there are no flight rings, so you're not afraid of them running away on their own. ”

Zhang Yun was keenly aware that this was an opportunity to greet him politely. "These are two wild birds, when they bought them, they were three or four years old, how can they still wear ankle rings. As for running away, how is that possible, I am very confident in my abilities, and I always let the parrot play on its own at home, and I have never restricted the parrot's freedom. ”

Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Zhang Yun also took out his mobile phone and showed him the daily video of the purple and blue macaw. I saw 7-Up and Coke playing freely on the villa, and it could be seen that there was no sign of restricting their freedom. Sometimes they even fly out of the villa and run to other places.

Aubrey couldn't believe that he had never seen a parrot before and would not escape from people's grasp. Especially wild birds, which are not kept in cages to watch, for fear of being run away by them.

Not to mention wild birds, even artificial birds, after strict training to fly, parrots specially used for release may fly off on their own.

What's going on now? How so? In his career, he really hasn't seen anything like this.

Can't help but arouse great interest.

"Well, young man, you also want to contribute to the revival of the night parrot. Then stay, we only have a few old guys here with a few apprentices, and it's really rare to see a young man like you. ”

Zhang Yun happily agreed, and then found a piece of grass and prepared to set up the tent first. It is a small observation point with only two modest houses. I didn't see those experts and professors all driving RVs. More than a dozen tents were erected next to it as shelters.
