Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Great White Who Screamed
Adams directly pointed out to Zhang Yun that the farm still lacks the three magic weapons of breeding, egg millet, cuttlefish bone, and health sand. These are the three things that are indispensable to the farm, however, Zhang Yun has nothing here.
Zhang Yun has heard of these three things, egg millet is millet with eggs, and it is similar to steamed egg rice, egg rice, etc., all of which are made by adding eggs.
These things are nutritious, cheap, and easy to make, and are the most suitable things for breeding farms to supplement the nutrition of birds.
Others are not nothing, but relatively speaking, the price is much higher. Farms pursue profits, of course, using egg millet. Actually, he made it before, but he ran out.
Cuttlefish bones are the bones of cuttlefish, the shell is slightly hard, and the inside is easily crushed into powder. Cuttlefish bone is a kind of good medicine to stop bleeding, when I was a child, I had a traumatic injury, and I often used the powder of cuttlefish bone grinding to apply to the wound, which has the effect of stopping bleeding and astringent wounds.
The only function of this thing is to supplement calcium, the shell of the egg is composed of calcium, the amount is almost several times that of the female bird's body, so much calcium, must be supplemented externally. Otherwise, it is easy to lay soft-shell eggs and thus fail to reproduce.
Health sand is used to replenish minerals. It is also a way to promote digestion, and parrots, like chickens, need to eat sand to digest the food in their stomachs. Under the conditions of artificial breeding, it is used for health sand.
Parrots need to consume a lot of nutrients in breeding, and if they are not replenished in time, they are prone to problems. So these things are essential. Just as pregnant women buy all kinds of health supplements, so do parrots.
However, Adams also pointed out that when the baby parrot is born, it must be taken out of the health sand ten days before it is born. Health sand is indigestible, and can play a role in digesting food in the parrot's body, and the small parrot's physique is already very weak, and if you use this thing, it is easy to cause death.
Just as the two were chatting happily, there was a loud bark outside, and Adams said with a smile, "What kind of dog do you have, listening to the loud voice, strong and domineering, what a good dog." ”
Zhang Yun is a little strange, he has ten dogs at home, five mixed-race German pastors, weak and timid, and belongs to the master who eats and waits for death. He didn't like it, he just kept it as a caretaker.
The remaining five are Dogo dogs, who grow up to be tall and strong, imposing, and fierce dogs that dare to attack jaguars. But now it's a half-sized dog, and it can't make such a sound.
Which dog made the sound, could it be that Craigie and they brought it.
Hearing that the voice was outside the door, Zhang Yun said, "Why don't we go out and have a look?" ”
Adams nodded in agreement, he had an extraordinary love for animals, or he wouldn't have chosen this major. Now when I hear such a loud cry, my heart is itching, and I want to take a look.
The two went out to find that the sound was coming from behind a small tree, and it was empty and there were dogs there. I couldn't help but be a little curious, and walked over.
Suddenly, Da Bai flew over from there, landed on Zhang Yun's shoulder, tilted his head to look at Adams, and began to arrange his feathers, looking leisurely.
The two of them went over to look around, where there were any dogs. The two looked at each other, and they didn't know why this situation happened.
Then Adams's eyes were attracted by Dabai, he had not seen a cockatoo, but Dabai was so beautiful. His white feathers were shiny and shiny, and they seemed to shimmer in the sun, much better than the cockatoos he had ever seen. It's like the contrast between Dick Silk and Bai Fumei.
Think about it again, it seems that the parrots in Zhang Yun's farm are very energetic, much better than their kind.
This made Adams envious, and he thought that Zhang Yun had mastered some skills in raising parrots. How did he know that this was all the credit of the beast control technique, if it weren't for Zhang Yun using mana to nourish their bodies every day, where would the parrot have such obvious changes.
Then a thought sounded in his mind, it wouldn't be a big white shout. Parrots have the ability to learn the tongue, not only the language, but also the sounds of animals.
I couldn't help but say tentatively, "Wang, Wang." ”
Zhang Yun glanced at him in surprise. "Adams, what are you doing here? Learn what a dog barks at. ”
Adams said his conjecture, and Zhang Yun thought that it was indeed possible.
Although he didn't teach Dabai, he couldn't stand the character of Little Jack on the farm. He can't do anything else, and he likes to tease these parrots the most.
Seeing that Dabai didn't react, he said, "Otherwise, you're trying." ”
"Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo."
However, Dabai didn't even react at all.
"Wang, Wang." Zhang Yun also tried to tease Dabai.
Da Bai finally raised his head and looked at them coldly. "Ah, two silly birds, two silly birds."
The two looked at each other, despised by a parrot, and could they play happily in the future.
Then, Adams' gaze was blazing as he looked at Dabai. "Zhang, this parrot's IQ is too high! I was able to tell when to say something. ”
Zhang Yun also didn't think that it was one thing for a parrot to be smart, and it was another thing for an IQ. Parroting is just an instinct, it learns what others teach. It is impossible to say that it has not been taught. At most, be smarter and learn faster.
It's like digital programming, electronic chess is amazing! Able to play on par with others, and even beat the first person in chess. But so what, it only means that the programming is good. If you let it do anything else, it won't.
It's impossible to do anything else with just chess programming.
But Dabai made a change and knew to say the right thing at the right time. How not to be amazed.
Seeing that the two of them froze, Da Bai laughed proudly twice, and then "Wangwang, Wang." "The one that learns is called an image. Needless to say, the first barking of the dog is what it says.
When he got up in the morning, Zhang Yun went to the breeding farm as usual, and these days, whenever he was free, he would go there to open the breeding box to see if the parrots had laid eggs. This is a very important thing to estimate the time of incubation by the time when the parrot lays eggs.
No one else can do this except him. Because the parrot treats him like one kind, and will not be wary of him. Therefore, Zhang Yun opened the breeding box to check, as if he was going to someone else's house, it was very common, and the other party would not feel afraid.
Others, on the other hand, do not have a good impression in the eyes of the parrot, and even if they are not regarded as natural enemies, they are also evil guests. Opening the breeding box is like a natural predator entering the parrot's nest, which will make the parrot feel frightened, and some will even abandon the nest directly. Eggs are not laid and hatched, and even if there are chicks, they are no longer fed, which eventually leads to hatching failure.
In order to avoid this situation, it is best to let Zhang Yun check this matter himself.
After opening several breeding boxes in a row, there was no harvest, and Zhang Yun was about to give up. After all, these parrots mate under the auspices of reproduction, and lay eggs at about the same time. Now that there is none, we can only say that the time is not yet yet.
Just as he opened a breeding box and glanced at it habitually, he saw a white bird's egg, lying quietly among the shavings, so charming.
He picked it up and looked at it, feeling the warm body temperature of the parrot in it, Zhang Yun couldn't help laughing. Great, this is the first parrot egg on his farm, and it means a lot. It means that the breeding farm is slowly on the right track, has the ability to produce parrot chicks, and begins to make money.
Next, he opened dozens of breeding boxes and looked at them, and found a total of nine parrot eggs, which means that the breeding of parrots has begun, and more parrots will lay eggs tomorrow.
When the eggs are laid, they will start hatching the little parrots.
This is also the time when they consume the most physical strength, and nutrition must keep up.
