Chapter 442: Arresting the Prisoner in Action, Restless
On the second floor of the bamboo building, the islanders held a special meeting to discuss how to deal with the new situation of bird infestation.
After weighing it several times, Lai Shun'er proposed a plan to directly capture the criminals and lock them up, but not harm them.
After some discussion, there seemed to be no better way to do it, so the plan was agreed in principle.
As for how to arrest him, as well as the specific technical details such as the cage and placement, these are left to Shi Suo'er and Xizi to handle, and the others don't have to worry about it.
It turns out that no matter how smart birds are, their IQ cannot compete with that of humans with well-evolved brains.
The next morning, Xizi and Shi Suo'er went to Baiguoyuan to squat and carry out the arrest mission.
At the same time, it was a mesh made by a stone carpenter overnight last night, and the main keel was made of bamboo. Due to the rush of time, although the workmanship is relatively rough, it can be a collection of experience and wisdom of the two, and several simple and ingenious mechanisms have been carefully designed.
In addition, to deal with greedy thief birds, bait is naturally indispensable. This time, the bait level is not low, with apples, cherries, pears and other fresh fruits cut into pieces to form a beautiful assorted fruit plate, plus a little special nest head, which is the kind used to reward geese and dogs every day. It can be called a five-star reception standard, full of temptation.
The magpie couple went out to forage as usual, and in the face of such a sumptuous delicacy, they had always been shrewd in doubt, hesitation and entanglement, and they tried and wandered for more than an hour.
Finally, the female magpie, who was a little weak-willed, couldn't hold it back, and despite her husband's warning, she fell into the trap set by humans.
The beloved wife was in danger, and the male magpie was in a hurry when he saw this, and immediately went to stop it, but was caught by Xizi and the two were arrested.
When Kiko and the others happily took the captives back to the storeroom on the first floor of the garrison and put them in a large bamboo cage specially prepared for them, the other personnel who heard the news came to watch.
"That's it. Still want to fight with us? Kiko patted the cage proudly while telling everyone about the arrest process.
Shi Suo'er unceremoniously unceremoniously exposed his bottom, saying that in the process of squatting just now, Xizi almost couldn't bear it, but he still forcibly held him down, so it didn't hurt the big deal.
"Well, it's not because your hood is too rough. Even the birds don't like it. Kiko sneered.
The others didn't bother to listen to their arguments at this moment, and all eyes were focused on the new prisoner in the bamboo cage.
The two flower magpies, not small, black and white, have a blue-green sheen on their dorsal feathers, and a long cocked tail. It's pretty to look at.
At this point, the two guys in prison were no longer as laid-back or arrogant as usual, they were chirping in horror, flapping their wings up and down, and tossing and turning in the cage.
"So non-stop, huh?" Seeing this, Jiang Yichen couldn't help frowning.
He had seen birds before, wild all day long flying in the sky and frolicking among the branches. Free; Although the domestic caged birds are not free, they are safe, eat and drink without worries, rain or shine, and can make do with lazy days.
This is the first time I've seen something like this.
Su Xiaojia tilted her head and looked carefully in front of the cage, her face was full of melancholy, and she wanted to appease her, but she didn't know how to start.
"Hehe, there are so many of us watching. They're ashamed. Kiko explained as she understood it.
"Brother Chenzi, it's okay. Magpies don't have much temperament and can support their families. Those who just came in were like this, and when they were tired, they would be honest, and when the time came, they should eat, drink, and there was nothing wrong with them. I've seen people who have grown up. Rest it on your shoulders and take it out for a walk, and you won't escape. Lai Shun'er added on the side.
Jiang Yichen nodded, feeling that there was some truth. So he looked at it for a while, and told Kiko to pay attention to feeding and watering, and not to abuse them. Then he took Su Xiaojia and left the warehouse.
Who knew that the situation was not as simple as everyone thought, and in the afternoon, the Magpie couple, who had been locked up for several hours, still did not settle down.
They are restless, do not eat or drink, and continue to make noise in the spacious cage, pecking desperately at the cage bars with their claws and beaks, and swearing not to give up until they go out. When you're tired, take a break and move on. His voice became hoarse, and in desperation, he even began to bang his head against the cage.
Listening to the birds' calls, Lai Shun'er felt that the situation was not quite right, and went to the warehouse to check. I was puzzled, magpies belong to common birds, and it is said that their temperament is not so big.
Su Xiaojia has been paying attention to this matter, and she didn't even take a nap. I heard the movement downstairs, so I also came to the storeroom again.
At this time, the two magpies already looked like wolves, their feathers were messy, and the scars on their wings, beaks, and claws were shocking.
When Su Xiaojia saw this tragic situation, she really couldn't stand it, who had always been soft-hearted. She quickly found a pen and paper to write, and begged Laishun'er to put them away.
Xizi and Shi Suo'er also rushed over when they heard the news, although the situation in front of them made them quite puzzled, but they didn't think much of the girl's mentions.
"Don't look at these flat-haired beasts now, they don't have a soft mouth when they plague the orchard. It is said that even if you want to eat the fruit, it is not a big deal to get two people occasionally, but you can't accumulate a little virtue, always pecking in the east and taking a mouthful in the west, to let these thieves and birds, we have worked hard for so many days, there are no more fruits left, and they are all finished. Kiko said angrily.
"Yes, you didn't look at the arrogance of these thieves and birds a few days ago." Shi Suo'er echoed on the side.
Although the fruit trees in Baiguo Orchard are watered with special nutrient water as a high-quality guarantee, there is a lot of work in all aspects from planting to daily maintenance, wind and disaster resistance, etc. With today's harvest, everyone on the island has paid hard work. So the more this happens, the more I hate things that are destructive.
Su Xiaojia's gaze never left the magpie couple in the cage, only feeling that the chirping sound was getting worse and worse, and her heart was even more unbearable. At this moment, I heard Xizi and Shi Suo'er talking so loudly, obviously not taking the magpie's life seriously at all, and had no sympathy.
She was a little angry, and her little face began to turn red.
Lai Shun'er observed the words and felt that the situation was wrong, but don't cause conflicts between your own people for the sake of this thief bird, it is too worthless. So he hurriedly talked to the mud and said that he would take a look at the situation first, so that everyone could think of ideas.
At this moment, Su Xiaojia suddenly sensitively seemed to see something from the two pairs of dark little eyes of the magpie in the cage, and the stronger this feeling became.
She took the pen and paper on the table again and wrote "Fledgling? Two big words and a question mark.
"Hey, why didn't I forget about this stubble." Kiko reacted immediately, reaching out and slapping her head twice.
These two magpies have different plumage colors, and their movements are intimate, so they were judged to be two people at the beginning. According to what is known about the habits of magpies, they do not fit well during the breeding season, and it is often couples who act together.
At present, there must be something that can't be put down, and it's nothing more than a little cub. Today, I patronized and relieved my anger, and I really forgot about this matter all of a sudden.
The three of them looked at each other and felt that this possibility was very high. But it was not easy to catch the culprit, and it would not be a good idea to let him go for the sake of the chicks. After all, birds and people will not be able to communicate head-on, and they will not be educated, and they will definitely continue to endanger hài orchards when they go out, and they may become more cunning and more difficult to deal with because of their setbacks.
"Well, it's your job anyway, just go out and look for it, well, it should be in the forest north of the orchard. If you find a magpie's nest, get the little thing back. Lai Shun'er pondered for a while and proposed a compromise plan.
For the current situation, this method is obviously the most appropriate.
"Hurry up, the chicks will starve!" Su Xiaojia flew down a sentence on the paper and held it up to show it to everyone.
Seeing that everyone agreed with this speculation, the more she felt in her heart that this must be the case, so she became more anxious.
"Really, if you take care of the old and the young, you will soon become a free babysitter." Kiko had to turn around and walk out the door, muttering dissatisfied.
"Hey, isn't it just a bird nanny, just be it. Let's go, I'll go get the rope first. ”
Shi Suo'er was much calmer, and patted Kiko on the back, urging him to be sharper.
I don't know if I noticed something, or if I was tired of tossing, the two magpies in the cage stopped a little, and snoozed with half-squinted eyes. But it still didn't get a drop of water, and even Su Xiaojia didn't pay attention to feeding it by hand.
More than half an hour passed, and while Su Xiaojia was anxiously waiting, the two of them finally returned, still holding an unpainted square wooden box in their hands.
Sure enough, the speculation turned out to be true. I saw that on the rags in the center of the wooden box, there were five chicks lying on their stomachs, which were relatively not small, but their hair had not yet grown, and they raised their heads and straightened their necks, opening their big mouths that were not very coordinated with their figures.
"These two are really capable, the whole nest is so high, and the inside is still deep, we have to work hard." Kiko grumbled as she walked into the storeroom. There were several obvious scratches on his clothes, and it seemed that this was not an easy job.
Shi Suo'er's body is clean, obviously this kind of work of climbing trees and going to the house is not suitable for people with a large body to do, Xizi is duty-bound, a reasonable division of labor.
Lai Shun'er ignored his chirping, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and took the square wooden box.
Strange to say, the breeding cycle of birds on this Yunsha Island seems to be a little different from that of their counterparts in 6 places, I remember that in my hometown, the chicks at this time have long been full of wings and have left the nest.
However, now was clearly not the time to explore the subject of this avian study, so he took the wooden box directly to the cage and laid it down.
