After eating, Aubrey warmly invited Zhang Yun to visit his observation car. As a perennial person who is on the go, almost all of his efforts are in the car, focusing on his best tools.

As soon as he opened the car door, Zhang Yun and Meijing had a feeling of entering the Grand View Garden, all kinds of instruments and screens, Zhang Yun didn't recognize what they were doing after looking at them for a long time.

Aubrey helped to introduce it, which is divided into three parts, surveillance, laboratory, and tool storage. Monitoring is specifically designed to observe the movements of parrots. There are many things in the laboratory, in addition to all kinds of laboratory equipment, the most important thing is incubators, incubators, and a dazzling array of bottles and cans.

Although Zhang Yun doesn't know much, he can see that it is all related to parrots. Especially the egg incubator and incubator, which he didn't know much, but it was enough to surprise him.

Zhang Yun didn't know about this, and there was even an incubator at home, which was fully automatic insulation and humidification, which he bought for 1,000 yuan. It was the best one in the store at the time.

However, compared to the car, it is not ordinarily bad.

Then Aubrey took them to the tool storage room, Zhang Yun didn't think so, there was nothing to see here. As soon as I entered, I saw a large parrot.

The purple and blue macaw is already the largest parrot in the world. The parrot was much larger than the purple-blue macaw, lying motionless on the ground. Frightened, he hurriedly retreated, for fear of stepping on it. As a result, Meijing was following behind, and the two of them bumped into each other.

The beautiful scenery was stunned for an instant, and it took half a day to react. Ah stepped back, but this was in the car, the space was very small, she retreated, directly out of the car, and was about to roll down as soon as she stepped on the air.

Zhang Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her, and pulled her into his arms again. Feeling the warm body temperature on Meijing's body and the faint fragrance wafting from her, the two were embarrassed, and they didn't know how to speak for a while.

Aubrey, the eyeless man, spoke out at this time. "Ahem, Zhang, what's wrong with you!"

Zhang Yun hurriedly let go of the beautiful scenery and said, "It's okay, I didn't see a parrot afraid of stepping on it." ”

Aubrey was stunned for a moment, then picked up the parrot lying on the ground and said with a smile, "You mean this?" This is a fake parrot I made, so I didn't scare you. But I did it in a 1:1 ratio like a night parrot, and it looks like it! ”

Meijing looked at the parrot's huge size and exclaimed, "Night parrots are distant relatives of budgies, shouldn't they be small, why are they so big?" And I've heard that the purple and blue macaw is already the largest parrot in the world, how can the night parrot be twice as big as it? ”

Zhang Yun explained to her beside him. The night parrot mentioned here is not the night parrot they are looking for, but the owl parrot, which also has the name of the night parrot. But there is a huge difference between the two.

The purple and blue macaw is indeed the largest parrot in the world, there is no doubt about it. The one-meter-long body is a well-deserved giant in the parrot world. But they are not the heaviest.

The parrot owl is the only species of parrotid that is nocturnal and crawls on the ground. It is also the only one that cannot fly.

The most impressive trait of the parrot is its aroma, which is often described by many as musky, fruity or honey.

Originally found in southern New Zealand, Stewart and other islands, it is threatened with extinction due to its habitat of rats and ferrets, and there are currently only 62 owls in New Zealand.

In every respect, the owl is an alternative to the parrot family. The owl is a large, round, large parrot; Males can reach up to 60 centimeters in length at maturity and are the heaviest of the species, weighing 2 to 4 kilograms, twice as much as the purple-blue macaw.

Aubrey heard his explanation and said, "Indeed, the parrot owl is the heaviest parrot in the world. This species of parrot is very rare and is endangered due to the rats and ferrets in their habitat devouring young birds and eggs. There was a time when it was thought to be extinct. It was later discovered that there were still a small number of survivors on New Zealand's South Island. I've been working on the conservation of parrots before. It was only when I heard about the night parrot that I came to Australia. ”

Later, he also explained some interesting facts about the owl to the two of them.

When the parrot owl was scarce and on the verge of extinction, Richard Henry was one of the first to work to protect it. With the help of search dogs, Richard took great pains to transfer 200 of the owls that had survived in the jungle of the western South Island of New Zealand to Resolution Island in the bay off the west coast of the South Island.

However, after five years of hard work, Richard was heartbroken to discover the presence of stoats on Resolution Island, which had crossed the mountains, crossed the bay, and landed ashore, making the bird's sanctuary no longer safe. He had to transfer.

"But why did you make such an owl toy? Still with wheels on it? ”

Meijing asked curiously.

Aubrey smiled, a little awkwardly. Meijing knew that there was something else hidden, so she didn't ask again.

Zhang Yun knew what was going on. This is actually a collector. It smells of a female owl, and when a male parrot finds it, he will run over to look for it.

When it finds this ** collector that looks like an owl, it will think it is a female parrot owl, and then climb on it to have sex. Eventually, ****** collector is left behind, scientists can inject the worm into the female parrot owl to increase the owl's chance of fertilization.

In order to increase the number of owls, these people are also quite hard.

The question was how embarrassed he was to say this kind of thing to a little girl.

Meijing picked up a small box full of barley and looked at it curiously for a while, not understanding what it was for.

Aubrey took it and said, "Well, this is my breeding box for night parrots, right?" ”

Zhang Yun looked at it, it was not bad, it was so much to their liking.

The breeding boxes he made were made of wooden planks, which were good, but very rudimentary for parrots. It can only be said that it is easy for people to make, and it is definitely not a nest that meets the heart of a parrot.

Aubrey, on the other hand, was designed specifically for parrots. The night parrot itself likes to build its nest in the grass, and having such a nest is very much to its heart.

When it was night, looking at the tent standing alone, Zhang Yun asked embarrassedly, "Where did you sleep at night?" ”

He came out in a hurry this time with only a tent, and he was not familiar with the scenery to the extent of sleeping in a bed, which made it a little difficult to manage.

Meijing smiled charmingly, and said to him in a charming way, "Of course, I slept in a tent." ”

Zhang Yun suddenly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, such an obvious hint, he still didn't know where it was. He pulled his clothes and said, "Okay, you wait for me for a while." "Turn around and run outside.

When he came, Zhang Yun saw a small stream a few hundred meters away. Xing Chong rushed there, took a cold bath, and washed his body white. Humming a little song back. We, the people, are so happy and happy today.

Seeing the beautiful figure exposed by the beautiful scenery in the light, he was even more excited, and rushed forward with a low roar. However, Meijing stretched out a white jade-like finger and pointed at his chest, and said with a smile, "What are you doing?" I mean, I sleep in a tent at night, and you go and sleep with Aubrey. ”

The smile on Zhang Yun's face froze, and it took a long time before he nodded and turned to leave. The one who said that the western beauty life is open, give me out, I promise to kill you.

Lying in the car, he slept until dawn, and when he got up and washed, he was met with the disdainful gaze of Jarvis.

Zhang Yun chuckled in his heart before remembering that the reason why the night parrot has this name is because it is active at night. I slept all night and found a hair!

He himself was embarrassed, and after dinner in the morning, he went to ask Aubrey about the results of their past few days, and to see if there was anything he needed to help with.

With Aubrey's explanation, Zhang Yun realized that their achievements in the past few days can only be described as miserable. It's been a month since they got the news that there were night parrots. However, I never really saw a night parrot. The best time to hear a night parrot call.

But that was enough to excite them, night parrots are hard to find, and they have been seen very rarely since 1979, with a few carcasses found or sighted of them. Ornithologists even look for night parrot feathers in the nests of zebra-breasted finches in search of live night parrots.

It belongs to the kind of breed that clearly exists, but has been difficult to find. It was not easy to find their exact traces this time.

One of the main reasons for this is that they don't dare to look for it. Night parrots are now in a fragile condition, and if they are disturbed, they will not have problems. They had to search quietly, and naturally it was difficult to find their traces.
