Chapter Eighty-Five: Bald Sea Eagle?
"You say it's a bald eagle? Don't lie to me that I don't read much, I've seen bald eagles, uh, in the pictures, the bald eagles are very handsome, how ugly are they now? While teasing the clown bird in his hand, Jiang Hai said to Bell.
"It's really a bald eagle, the national bird of the U.S. imperialists, our squadron accidentally knocked down a nest before, and this is what was in the nest, although we sent the nest back later, but it was still given a share." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Bell here said helplessly, hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at the bird in front of him, is this really the national bird of the United States imperialism?
"But at this time, they should have migrated, why is there still a baby here?" Touching his chin, Robbins couldn't help but ask a little strangely.
Every country, in fact, has its own national symbol of the animal, for example, China, the most famous is naturally the panda, and the United States, the most famous is this bald eagle, since 1782, the United States imperialist through legislation to become the national bird of the United States imperialism, the symbol of the United States, the status of the bald eagle, in the United States has always been high.
This is the same as the status of pandas in China, not to mention hunting, buying and selling these animals, just destroying their place of residence is a big crime, not to mention that Bell and they once knocked down this bird's nest.
But as Robbins said, this bird should not be here during this season.
Although bald eagles will nest in rock walls and woods, and if they inhabit adjacent waters, they will not move anymore and will become resident birds, but in fact, these sea eagles will still fly when they should, especially in the northern regions.
In the south, more than 95 percent of bald eagles become resident birds, but in the north, most of them become migratory birds, flying away during the coldest months and returning in the spring.
So Robbins was a little strange, shouldn't all these birds have flown away? Why is there still a nest with a baby bird in the nest? This made Robbins, the old man here, a little puzzled.
The bald eagle was once threatened with extinction, but it was not because of human hunting that extinct them, after all, their main habitat was in the United States, and as the national bird of the United States, Americans would rarely hunt them.
With the increase in fishing and logging, their habitat is also decreasing, and most importantly, because they live at the top of the food chain, when humans use poisons such as pesticides, they will always end up in their bodies.
In 1782, it was rumored that there were 100,000 bald eagles in the United States.
But shortly after the end of World War II, in 1963, there were only 417 pairs of bald eagles left in the world.
However, in recent years, the bald eagle has been removed from the list of 48 threatened species of wild animals released in the United States, and gradually regained its vitality, and by 2003, the number had recovered to more than 7,600 pairs.
Although it is still not as good as the 100,000 in its heyday, it is not bad.
Another factor contributing to the extinction of this bird is its weak reproductive capacity, which lays only two eggs a year.
However, there will be no two bald eagles, only two chicks, and the one born first will eat the next one as food, which means that a healthy bald eagle couple will only have one child a year.
It takes at least five years for a sea eagle to grow into a sea eagle, which is not much for a bald eagle that can live for 30 years.
But it's nowhere near as good as the number of people who died, so that's one of the reasons why they almost went extinct.
"I think this bird, it is very likely that it was the first bird to hatch, before winter came, the two big birds had already left, or were killed, and after it hatched, it ate the small birds that hatched later, and this is until now." Looking at this little bird, Robbins here slowly analyzed, hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at this little bird, this gray and simple little guy, I didn't expect that he was still a ruthless person, and he didn't even let go of his siblings.
"Can I raise him, then?" After teasing for a while, Jiang Hai thought for a moment and said to Robbins.
"It's up to you, boss, although this bird is a first-class protected bird under the Washington Convention, as long as you don't sell and kill it, no one will care about you, of course, you'd better go to the police station to prepare a case." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of agreement, hearing his words, Jiang Hai was suddenly happy, and now he has no idea of hunting again.
Putting the bird in his arms, he urged Robbins and Bell to leave together.
As Robbins said, there is nothing interesting in this woodland here, and when he has time, Jiang Hai can go to Alaska, or other places to hunt, those places are the fun places, not the woods at home.
Now that I have felt the joy of hunting, it is more important to implement the matter of the bald eagle.
As a rich man, cough, rich young man, it is inevitable to go out with eagles and dogs, now Jiang Hai has a dog, but there is no eagle, God gave him one, if he doesn't follow it well, he will be punished by God.
Sitting on a snowmobile, Jiang Hai, Robbins, and Bell returned to their manor quickly.
After briefly disposing of other things in the manor, Jiang Hai and the three of them drove to the police station in the town.
The police station in the small town is actually quite responsible, and it is in charge of everything, which is why the police in the small town are much more shiny than the police in the metropolis.
However, these policemen, when they saw Jiang Hai, they couldn't get up on Niu 13, after all, these guys owe Jiang Hai a favor, if it weren't for Jiang Hai's mercy in the end, they wouldn't even be able to keep their jobs.
So after seeing Jiang Hai arrive, these policemen were very enthusiastic, and the female policeman who interrogated him last time even took the initiative to make him a cup of coffee, but unfortunately, Jiang Hai was not interested in this thing by nature.
He prefers milk to coffee, just like at home, he either drinks beer or milk, and the coffee is hardly touched, so he doesn't know if the coffee here is good or not, he just came to ask about Kitty Hawk's adoption.
The current chief of the police department, Murray Smith, personally came over to help Jiang Hai with what he needed to do.
When he learned that Jiang Hai had picked up an abandoned bald eagle in his family's forest and wanted to adopt it, the old man began to pat himself on the back, saying that Jiang Hai was loving or something, Jiang Hai was just smiling, and there was no need to say too much about the rest.
The next thing is very simple, after calling the people from the pet center, a human inspection was done for the little eagle, and it was determined that the little eagle had no other problems except for some malnutrition, and the police station also awarded Jiang Hai a brand that can raise wild animals, only with this thing, he will not be reported by others.
After everything was taken care of, Jiang Haiwan declined the proposal of Murris-Smith to have dinner together, and returned home with Robbins and Bell, but after going back, Jiang Hai first gave the eagle a bath, well, although after washing this, it was still gray and simple, and then gave it a lot of special beef, and then deliberately squeezed out a drop of blood and fed it to the eagle.
Originally, since this little eagle arrived in Jiang Hai's hands, it has been looking around with those frightened eyes, and its body is constantly trembling, for fear that Jiang Hai, these behemoths, will eat it, but after eating Jiang Hai's blood, it calmed down, and there was a trace of spirituality in its eyes, and after rubbing it in Jiang Hai's hand, it fell asleep on Jiang Hai's bed.
Jiang Hai knew that this was the reason why the blood was transforming it, just like the two dogs at the beginning, after eating Jiang Hai's blood, didn't they also fall into hibernation, and this little eagle thought about it.
Deliberately used some hay and some of his own old clothes to pile up a nest, and after putting the small eagle in, Jiang Hai also breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced back, there was a dog squatting there with a big mouth open, and there was a hint of curiosity in his two eyes, Jiang Hai smiled lightly and patted the heads of the two big dogs.
"In the future, this little guy will be our family, you can't bully it casually!"
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, the two big dogs couldn't help but tilt their heads and glance at Jiang Hai, and then barked loudly.
At this time, the little eagle who was sleeping in his sleep, after hearing this bark, couldn't help but move a little scared, seeing the movement of the little eagle, Jiang Hai immediately made a silent gesture to the two dogs, and then looked at the little eagle in the distance.
"Bang." At this moment, a sudden sound sounded, Jiang Hai looked back and found that the waist bag he had just taken off had fallen to the ground, and at this time, a small hole had been opened in the waist bag, and then a curious little head came out of the gap in the waist bag, looking curiously at the world in front of him.
When it saw Jiang Hai, it didn't feel anything, but when it saw Xiao Hei, it was instantly frightened and drilled back again, and Xiao Hei seemed to remember that he and this little guy and Liang Zi couldn't help but come over, open his mouth, bared his teeth, and intimidated the little guy who hid in the bag, and at this time Jiang Hai remembered that he had brought back a one.
"Alright, don't scare the little guy." kicked Xiaobai's ass, Jiang Hai walked over, picked up the waist bag, and opened the cable at random, wanting to take out the little guy, but at this moment, the little guy bit it.
