988.Touching the Dog's Ass (4/5)
Once winter arrives, even with the support of the heart of the pasture, the growth rate of the grass still decreases to the slowest point of the year, and the grass at this time of year is completely dependent on the old roots, they cannot produce grass seeds, and they cannot regenerate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this case, Wang Bo believes that the first task of the pasture is to reduce the consumption of pasture, especially to reduce the damage to the pasture by certain animals.
For example, grassland possums, these rats are particularly fond of eating grass roots, and they are very good at burrowing in the ground, so a lot of grass is destroyed by opossums every winter.
Wang Bo said this, the cowboys nodded, and Peterson said, "Yes, this is a headache for all ranchers, but what does this have to do with the parrots?" ”
"Of course it does, we see that the parrot is fierce, can fly, is athletic, and has a strong desire to prey."
"So, can we tame these parrots and use them to hunt opossums? Let them work for us so that they have food and naturally will not attack our flock again. ”
The pecking parrot is a fairly social bird species, and they prefer to live in groups, which is also an advantageous condition for dealing with opossums.
There are too many possums, a few parrots are useless to them, and a few parrots are not worth domesticating them.
"It's an idea, this bird is opportunist, when they are hungry, they will sneak up on all kinds of small animals, their movements are as agile as a fierce eagle, if they are used against opossums, then opossums are in trouble." Cousins nodded.
In fact, according to research, the sheep does not attack the sheep at first, after all, the sheep are outsiders to New Zealand, and they are indigenous.
Before the sheep first came to New Zealand, because they had a lot of parasites on their bodies, and these bugs were one of the food for the parrots, so the parrots flew to them to catch the parasites and eat.
Due to some chance, they pecked the sheepskin and ate the meat of the sheep, and found that the taste of the mutton was better, so they gradually changed their eating habits.
It was when Wang Bo saw this study that he had the idea of training them to deal with possums.
Obviously, the recipe of the parrot can be changed and can change very quickly, and when they find that possums are also great food, they will take the initiative to catch them.
In this way, what Wang Bo has to do is to make the parrots feel that it is more appropriate to eat opossums than mutton.
Peterson didn't agree with him, shook his head, and said, "You may not know, sir, that the parrots usually live in a fixed place, and most of them are nomadic and foraging for food, and they don't stop somewhere. ”
"No, my man, they'll stay, the parrots aren't stupid, Sunset Town is beautiful and kind, and when they find out that there's plenty of food here, why should they leave?"
Peterson laughed, "You're overestimating the IQ of the birds." ”
Wang Bo smiled and said nothing, he had absolute confidence, because there was a bird's nest heart that had been useless in the box of Rong Xin.
There are several hills on the edge of the southeast corner of the ranch that have been planted every year in Sunset Town for several years, and these hills, which were originally treeless, are now planted with some fir and pine trees.
He took out the heart of the bird's nest and placed it in the center of the hills.
The heart of the nest attaches to the land and expands, covering the entire hill.
It seemed that it could have extended into the pasture, but the two Territorial Hearts could not stack with each other, and eventually the Nest Hearts controlled the hilly position and some of the meadows beyond.
The next thing to do is to capture these parrots and domesticate them to catch mice.
Seeing that Wang Bo was determined to succeed in this matter, Peterson shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay boss, you are the boss, I listen to you, let's try it, maybe we can domesticate them into rat catchers." ”
None of this was her approval, and she shook her head, "I don't think it's better to mobilize the townsfolk to hunt rats, that's how he cleaned up opossums when I was working on Creed's ranch in the pasture." ”
"Maybe we can use both." Wang Bo said with a smile.
Peterson rubbed his hands together and said, "Alright, let's get to work, and now the first thing to do is to catch the parrot." ”
"It's not difficult, it's hard to get rid of the parrots, but it's too easy to catch them, these little fools, they are naturally very curious about anything new, and if they find something strange, they will come up and check it out." ”
It's the nature of the parrot to be able to quickly spot any food that can satisfy the stomach.
Wang Bo nodded and said, "In that case, let's decorate that hill and get some food to tempt them, maybe they will like it here." ”
"Boss, you're too idealistic." Peterson laughed.
This is not his idealism, he thinks the plan is feasible, especially since the parrots are really fierce, and of course it can be said that they are stupid and cute.
The indisreprieence of the flock fueled the arrogance of these bastard birds, who scattered around the pasture, chasing the panicked fat goats around.
Because the sheep have completed the task of gaining weight in the past autumn, they have grown very fat, and they can not run slowly, and they can't get rid of the birds.
The birds didn't even have to fly, they could catch up with the sheep just by jumping on their two short legs.
Their little short legs are powerful and their claws are sharp.
In Wang Bo's eyes, this is a good tool for dealing with possums.
But they were a little too arrogant, too blindly confident, and as they ran, a parrot ran into the eldest prince who was patrolling.
The princes were carefully trained not to hunt in the pastures, unless they came across hares or mice, and parrots were not in their target range.
So, although they spotted the birds early, they didn't attack.
And in the eyes of the parrot, the eldest prince is just a black four-legged beast, what is a four-legged beast? Their food!
Finding that the eldest prince was arrogantly blocking his way, the parrot jumped up quickly, jumped onto the eldest prince's back with lightning speed, and lowered its head to its buttocks.
The eldest prince, who was thinking about what they were, was bitten by this moment, and it really hurts!
The Rottweiler is a famous fierce dog, and the eldest prince is extremely fierce, he is very good at fighting, and he shakes off the pecking parrot.
Then, turning around and pounced, the eldest prince opened his mouth and bit at the big parrot, grinning and murderous!
The big parrot was frightened by this sudden murderous aura, staring at the eldest prince cutely, if it could speak, Lao Wang guessed that it would definitely say: I'm so cute, are you willing to eat me?
The eldest prince must be willing, but he is not reluctant, so he yells vigorously: "Eldest prince, come back!" ”
