Hearing Dong Yuanshan and Jiang Wei's shocked shouts, Lu Changping glanced at where they were, and then said with a smile: "You read that right, those two are the purple and blue macaws, which are the most precious varieties in the parrot family except for the extinct little blue macaws, and the only place of origin is in Brazil, and there are no more than ten of them in my country. ”

Purple and blue macaws, there are no more than ten known in the whole of China, Chen Yi was a little surprised, and slowly followed Lu Changping to Dong Yuanshan and the others.

The moment he looked at the cage, he was attracted by the two purple-blue colors inside, the blue feathers, pure almost close to purple, at this time the two parrots snuggled together, the movement posture was very elegant, in addition to the most eye-catching blue feathers, there were also beaks like beaks and hooks.

Compared with some birds next to them, the two purple-blue parrots are so unique and beautiful, from the beak to the tail of the feathers, almost more than one meter, the body size is very large, the cage of the two parrots is like a bonsai world.

The cage is very large, with small trees and sand, which occupies a lot of space on top of the pavilion.

Chen Yi couldn't help but be attracted by these two parrots, which could be said to be the most beautiful birds he had ever seen, he had heard of parrots, but he had never heard of purple and blue macaws.

"Ah, I didn't think it was really a purple and blue macaw, it's so beautiful." Hearing Lu Changping's confirmation voice, Jiang Wei looked at the two parrots with excitement on his face.

At this time, Dong Yuanshan on the side asked with a puzzled face: "Brother Lu, even if I have never seen this purple and blue macaw at some large-scale bird exchange meetings, it must have been kept in captivity by some rich people, and the Brazilian government department has a very strong protection for these blue macaws, how did these two parrots get this Shi Dan." ”

He has been raising birds for a long time, participated in bird fighting competitions, bird exchange meetings, and has seen countless birds and parrots. However, he has never seen the most precious purple and blue parrot among the macaws, and he has only seen it in the picture.

"Hehe, these two purple and blue macaws were given to Shi Dan by a Brazilian ornithologist, at that time the ornithologist happened to come to Kaili to investigate the current situation of our Chinese birds, when he accidentally met Shi Dan who was in the woods on the mountain, bandaging the wound of an injured bird, with the help of the translator next to them, the two of them did in-depth exchanges, and also visited the birds raised by Brother Shi, and the bird raising technology of Brother Shi. and the unsparing care of birds. The ornithologist admired him very much. In the end, he made a decision to give two of the purple and blue macaws he raised in Brazil to Brother Shi to express his admiration. ”

Hearing Dong Yuanshan's words, Lu Chang was filled with emotion. This is also the reason why he is so polite to Shi Dan, he does not raise birds simply, but to be able to better protect them, so that these birds can live a healthier life.

Brazilian ornithologist, Chen Yi looked at the two purple-blue parrots with some shock, they were recognized by foreign scholars, and gave such precious two parrots, which shows Shi Dan's ability to raise birds, no wonder Lu Lao would be so polite to him.

said. He directly photographed one of the two parrots for identification, wanting to see the parrot's information.

"The biological identification was successful, the information is as follows, the biological name: purple and blue macaw, alias: blue and purple macaw. The organism belongs to the order: Psittaciformes. ”

"Creature Stats: Strength: 40, Speed: 190, Tenacity: 60, Health: 98."

"Biological characteristics: the giant beak has a strong bite, is good at communicating, playful and intelligent, and is the most precious species in bird watching."

"Biodefects: destructive, noisy."

Seeing this information, Chen Yi had some understanding of these two purple and blue macaws, but the primary identification technique could only identify some characteristics for living creatures, and could not give some more detailed information like antiques.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help but ask Elder Lu, "Elder Lu, this purple and blue macaw is very beautiful, but I have rarely heard of it, can you tell me about it." ”

"Hehe, Chen Xiaoyou, there are many kinds of parrots in this world, and starlings are only gray-black or brown in the whole body, there are many kinds of parrot colors, very gorgeous, it can be said to be a work of art of nature, and China's unique is the big scarlet-breasted parrot, because the chest is purple-red, so it is called the scarlet breast, and the macaw is very famous in the parrot family, and the body size is very large, the variety is very many, and the color is also different, speaking of the color of the showy, naturally the colorful macaw is the most vivid."

Lu Changping smiled slightly and explained some information about the macaw to Chen Yi, "The colorful macaw is very beautiful, but if we talk about the smartest and rarest of the macaws, they are the two purple-blue macaws in front of us. ”

"The purple and blue macaw is the largest member of the parrot family, with a body length of up to one meter and a weight of more than 1.5 kilograms.

"The purple-blue macaw is precious because of its rarity, it is one of the rarest creatures in the world, because of its high price, they have been the object of hunting by some unscrupulous traders, and at the same time, due to the increasing destruction of the natural environment by humans, the number of wild purple and blue macaws is decreasing."

Lu Changping looked at the two very elegant purple and blue parrots in the cage, shook his head, and sighed a little, "They are mainly distributed in northern Brazil, more than 20 years ago, there were only more than 1,000 wild purple and blue parrots, but for various reasons, these more than 1,000 are also facing the crisis of extinction, but because some international organizations have begun to devote themselves to the protection of purple and blue macaws, coupled with the intervention of wildlife protection organizations, the number of wild purple and blue macaws is slowly rising, and now there are about 6,000." ”

"Because of their rarity, they are listed in the Washington Convention, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and it is illegal to sell or buy any of the animals and plants that are not allowed to join the Convention, and Brazil has long cracked down on the illegal trade in parrots, especially against poachers who hunt wild parrots."

"However, some animals still need to rely on humans, this convention is not against the trade of some animals, but for elephants, whales and other special species are very strict, and Brother Shi Dan was able to receive the purple and blue macaw shipped back from Brazil, it is because this is a special gift from the Brazilian ornithologist, otherwise, this very precious purple and blue macaw will not be so easy to transport out of Brazil, and China is also a party to the convention, for some illegal sale or purchase of purple and blue macaws, Severe penalties will also be given. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Wei was a little moved, and suddenly asked: "Old Lu, then if Master Shi Dan bought these two macaws to me, it shouldn't be illegal, after all, these two parrots were given by others through regular channels." ”

Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Lu Changping shook his head and smiled, "Brother Shi Dan's two purple-blue macaws are well documented, even if they are sold to others, it is not illegal, it's just that these two parrots are Brother Shi Dan's favorite, and they are also a pair of male and female, and they are also a testimony of friendship with that Brazilian ornithologist, do you think he may sell them." ”

"Brother Lu is right, do you think you are qualified to get these two precious parrots, you want to get these two parrots, but you just want to show off by this, just with some of your attitudes towards raising birds, it is impossible to get birds from me." Suddenly, Shi Dan walked over from the pavilion over there and looked at Jiang Wei with a very cold expression.

He has been raising birds for decades, and he has seen countless people who buy birds, and Jiang Wei and these people just take a fancy to the preciousness of this purple and blue parrot, how can such a person really take care of birds with his heart and really regard birds as friends.

"Master Shi Dan, I think you have misunderstood, we are by no means the kind of people you are talking about." Jiang Wei hurriedly said, he was just curious to ask just now, although he wanted to get these two parrots, but he knew in his heart that this was impossible.

Shi Dan ignored Jiang Wei and directly handed a small bag to Chen Yi, "The feed in it can be used for thrushes for three months, if you have the heart, come and get it after three months, the feed is used for auxiliary nutrition, not as a staple food, usually, according to your original feeding food." ”

"Thank you, Brother Shi, I will come back in three months." Chen Yi took the feed and checked it slightly, but there is a amount that can be fed for three months, and with these feeds, it should be helpful for Xiaobao's body nutrition.

Shi Dan nodded, and then looked at Lu Changping, "Brother Lu, although you are someone I respect, if you want to buy a bird from me, it is not for me to call the shots, but to see if the bird can recognize you, so if you fancy any bird, just follow the previous method." ”

Lu Changping smiled, there was no surprise at Shi Dan's words, if Shi Dan would change the rules set before because of others, then he would not be Shi Dan, "Brother Shi, I still have a few thrushes at home, I want to pick a bird to enjoy this time." ”

"Brother Lu, I know, you have five chances to choose, if the bird you fancy five times doesn't recognize you, then you can only do it next time." Shi Dan said to Lu Changping, and then pointed at Chen Yi and Dong Yuanshan with his finger, "You, you have a second chance, and the two of you, there is a chance, you fancy a certain bird, so you take the food in your hands to feed it, if that bird eats your food, you can buy it, if you don't eat it, your chance will disappear."
