Chapter 118: Morning Meeting

"Oh?" Fang Ye paid attention, "What's the situation?" Have you pecked your own feathers? It can't be stereotypical. ”

He Yifei said: "Jingwen is an extrovert and likes to interact with tourists, but in recent days, tourists don't like to greet it so much, and sometimes they turn their backs and stuffy themselves, and it doesn't work for me to play music to comfort it, and I pecked Ash last time I lost my temper." ”

Fang Ye touched his chin, a little embarrassed, the animal's mind is not easy to guess, who knows why he was suddenly unhappy.

There are many reasons that come to mind, is it a feed problem? Homesick? Bad cage environment? Too hot? Which tourist has it off when they visit?

Guessed: "When you fed them recently, did you feed them all the same?" Didn't take sides, right? ”

"Probably not, right? I'm paying more attention to this. He Yifei pondered and recalled, and said uncertainly for a moment: "When the walnuts were distributed the day before yesterday, it seemed that there was a younger one who gave Xiaowen to Xiaowen, could it be that it was angry because of this incident?" Do you want to send it more food today? ”

"Well, what's the feed today?"

"Today it's wotou, beef, corn, strawberries, rape and peanuts."

Macaws eat a variety of nuts, berries and vegetables, but they also eat insects and snails!

Therefore, there should be some egg whites in the feed, in addition to beef, sometimes some hard-boiled eggs will be mixed in the nest or something.

Fang Ye thought for a while and said, "When the meal starts, you quietly stuff it with an extra strawberry while the others are not paying attention, coax it a little, don't let the others see it, and send another one when you see it." Observe the situation a little more, and I'll take a look at it in the afternoon. ”

He Yifei wrote it down and responded: "Okay! ”

Fang Ye looked at the other breeder with long hair like an artist, and asked, "Brother Lu, how are the macaques doing these days?" ”

Brother Lu's name is Lu Jiamu, and he is a senior employee at the zoo who has been taking care of macaques for seven years. Other animal keepers may take turns taking care of them, but the macaques are always in charge of them, because they are very intelligent and recognize people.

Recognizing people is not an intimate person, but not bullying people, replacing them with new employees to take care of, a little timid and unfamiliar, and the macaque with a keen perception will immediately find this emotion, and then the mustache will not accept the management.

Snatch the food when feeding, don't go back when it's time to go back to the house, it's absolutely impossible for you to grab a weight injection or something, and you have to go back and play and laugh at it.

Brother Lu has taken care of macaques for a long time, is familiar with their habits, and has established his own majesty in macaques.

If you change to another breeder, the monkey will definitely bark more loudly than the keeper's scolding, and even attack when angry.

Macaques attacking people are not playing, don't look at the small size, they are very flexible and agile in action, jumping up and shining on unprotected hands or legs, scratching their claws are a few hot blood marks, and a bite is a bleeding tooth mark.

If a person is prepared to take a stick or something, he will throw stones from a distance. So the slightly larger rocks in Monkey Mountain have been removed, and only a few small stones that are no bigger than a fingernail are left.

Last time, the two macaques, White Eyebrow and Black Claw, fought in front of tourists, and Fang Ye has been paying attention to this matter recently.

It is normal for animals to express aggression among themselves, and a certain level of aggression is a manifestation of healthy animal social behavior.

In the case of the hierarchical and well-organized macaques, when other low-status monkeys pass by the Monkey King, they must make a sign of obedience, or they will be severely punished, which is the way to establish group order.

When the little monkey sees this situation, he will also know how to obey the order and respect the monkey king.

But excessive aggression can turn into a hazard. For example, the monkey king has a violent temperament and beats everyone when he sees it, even his wife and children don't let go, then the interaction behavior of the entire community will deteriorate, and the monkeys and monkeys are in danger, and they are not in the mood to groom each other and play happily.

Keepers caring for animals in such conditions are also vulnerable to attack and can also leave a negative experience for visitors.

If a child comes to visit, and sees a monkey lifting the other one and twisting his head, clicking and pulling it down, and the blood is spurting out, then he must not cry stupidly on the spot.

Leave a shadow in my heart that I can't erase for a lifetime, let alone come to the zoo to play in the future, I will be afraid when I hear the word "zoo".

Therefore, excessive aggression requires the intervention of the breeder.

Brother Lu said calmly: "The rising star of Black Claw is still a little worse than the strength of Bai Mei, after fighting last time, I am not sure that I should not provoke again." ”

Fang Ye nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good!" After a while, you can change the environment for them. ”

The best way to reduce your attacks is to be enriched!

For example, providing shelter and providing more toys.

When the monkey mountain perch was first erected, the monkeys had a lot of fun every day, and their energy was spent on it, and they were not interested in fighting at all.

It's good to have something to play in, and those who don't usually deal with each other may look at each other a lot, and the population relationship is a lot more harmonious for a while.

But after a while, the perch is not as attractive as it was at first.

And July to November is the monkey's estrus season, mainly in the autumn food is abundant, there is enough food can be as much as you want, during this time the monkey is strong, in order to compete for mates and resources, there will be more friction, the monkey king is generally at this time.

Of course, the monkeys in captivity do not worry about food, so they are debauched all year round, but in the autumn season, the body will instinctively become more restless.

Monkeys like Blackclaw, who are ambitious and covet the position of Monkey King, begin to make a move, creating friction and wanting to fight with White Eyebrow.

Fang Ye asked Guan Shan again, "Is there any problem with the red panda recently?" ”

Guan Shan said a little depressed: "Principal, yesterday the crow flew over and snatched a piece of apple, and also took the tail of the red bean a few times, and I drove away with two pinches of hair, but this can't be rushed like this every day, how to solve it." ”

Fang Ye frowned and said, "Damn, I have to make inches!" ”

Forget about stealing apples, you still peck the tail of the red panda, don't you know that the red panda is the treasure of our garden.

This one has to be dealt with.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The next time the crow appears again, you call me, and I'll go over to catch it." ”

Guan Shan was confused: ???

Isn't it the same if I catch you away, and what difference can't be made.

There is indeed a difference!

Fang Ye planned to use the deterrence skill to scare the crow and leave a deep impression on it, to see if it dared to bully Xiao Neng again.
