Chapter 530: The Turtledove is Born
Ponytail thinks about everything: "In terms of the role of wild animals in the ecological environment?" ”
Fang Ye said: "In fact, we are still too deeply separated from nature, and many people lack understanding of wild animals, demonize them, or despise them too much.
Like this time, when the Siberian tiger came down the mountain, at the beginning of the live broadcast, everyone watched the excitement and watched it very happily, saying that the ecological environment was good, and after the situation of attacking people, they suddenly became scared and nervous.
There was an uproar here, it seems to be a very frightening thing, many people feel that it is unacceptable to have tigers around, in fact, in Russia, there are many tigers over there, and more than 100 human-tiger conflicts are dealt with every year.
Some conflicts are smaller, where tigers appear around villages, and some are larger, where tigers attack livestock or dogs, or even people, and have different solutions to different conflicts.
Liupan Mountain in Ningxia is one of the regions with the largest number of wild leopards in China, where leopards can appear up to 200 meters from villages, and in winter they will come down from the mountains to feed around relatively warm farmland and near settlements to feed for warmth.
While coexisting with people, the leopard also minimizes contact with people as much as possible to avoid conflicts, and the villagers see leopards in the mountains from time to time, and they have never been attacked, so they affectionately call the leopard 'gentleman'. Aren't people getting along well?
It's not that we can't coexist, we have been coexisting with them from the past to the present, and these animals are not so scary, but they need to be understood and understood, and people's attitudes and concepts will gradually change. ”
After listening to the ponytail, he said sincerely: "Thank you, principal!" I'll jot down the examples you said, and it will be more convincing to debate with trolls online in the future. ”
Fang Ye couldn't cry or laugh: "I always think about convincing trolls to do something, I've never seen trolls on the Internet admit their mistakes, and if you ignore them, you might as well talk to your classmates' families, it can be regarded as science popularization." You're a student at Galaxy University, right? ”
Ponytail sighed: "Yes, I knew that these animals were so interesting, so I didn't want to study software, and I really want to change majors next semester!" ”
It's hard to say about changing majors, after all, it is a major event that involves the development of life in the future, but he suggested: "You can go to Mr. Wang Yan's class, he was doing research on Liupan Mountain before, and I also listened to him." ”
……
Liu Xueqing opened the door, walked into the balcony, and took off a few clothes.
This weekend, I am going to take Yingying to the zoo to play, and I heard that there are new animals on display at the zoo.
When picking up clothes, it is customary to glance at the flower pots on the edge of the balcony.
On the blooming trellis, there is a bird with a circle of spots on its neck, like a pigeon.
It was a bead-necked turtledove that also turned its head to look at her.
Last time Fang Ye broadcast live, he said that there were pigeons hatching eggs on the balcony, and the person who asked for help was Liu Xueqing.
Grandma Yingying raised some flowers and plants on the balcony, and one of the flowers raised in the pot died, and the empty flower pot was left unattended, who knew that a turtledove came over as a nest, and laid an egg in it.
At first, the turtledove was frightened and wary when it saw people, but the eggs had already been laid, and they were reluctant to leave.
Liu Xueqing called the rescue center, asked about the situation and said that it didn't matter, it didn't matter if you took clothes normally, just don't disturb too often.
In fact, there are birds coming to the house, and Liu Xueqing is also very happy, what a rare thing. And it allows Yingying to observe animals at home and cultivate love.
After talking to the family, Grandma Yingying welcomed her with a smile, saying that a turtledove came to build a nest, which was a sign of good luck. Yingying is even more happy that she can't find the north, and every day when she comes home, she has to see the turtledove hatching eggs.
Liu Xueqing educated her, saying that if the turtledove was nervous, maybe she would abandon the nest and leave, so every time Yingying observed the turtledove, she would not look at it for too long, and if she still wanted to see it, she would step on a small bench and watch it outside the balcony.
Usually, the balcony door is open and ventilated, unless the weather is hot in summer and the air conditioning needs to be turned on, but now it is closed when there is nothing to dove, so as not to disturb the turtledove inside, and the sound of the family watching TV is also lowered.
The turtle dove lays another egg in the pot the next day, and the male and female turtle doves usually take turns on duty, and occasionally they can be seen together. However, only one and a half can be accommodated in the pot, so the other one usually stands on the railing and looks left and right.
Liu Xueqing also guessed, feeling that the female turtledove had a more cowardly personality, and the male turtledove would drive them away violently.
A few days after the eggs were laid, it rained on the sea.
It may have been the rain that caused the nest to get wet, and the next day, the two turtledoves took turns carrying the dead branches home from outside and spreading them in pots.
Seeing this scene, Ying Ying was very enthusiastic to help them, so she picked up some grass and branches from the lawn below the community and brought them back and put them in flower pots.
At first, the turtledove also flapped its wings to drive Ying Ying away, but in the end, it still half-pushed and half-pushed the dead branches brought by Ying Ying under its body.
Now that the turtledove has been here for two weeks, Liu Xueqing's family is used to the existence of this special household in the family, and the turtledove is not as frightened and scared as it was at the beginning when he sees them.
But when you get closer, you will still lie in the flower pot, shrinking your head and hiding under the cover of other flowers and plants, looking like "you can't see me".
When Liu Xueqing took off her clothes, she saw a piece of furry stuff under the turtledove's body.
I was thinking if it was the feathers of the turtledove's nest, but I suddenly found that the furry would move!
After taking a closer look, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and subconsciously covered his mouth.
A baby turtledove is born!
The yellow fluff looks a bit like a chick or a duckling, and the big eyes are still tightly closed, not open.
Excited, I hurriedly took two photos.
Liu Xueqing has taken a lot of photos, such as turtledoves hatching eggs, building nests with branches, recording the growth process of turtledoves, and occasionally posting them to the circle of friends.
In the past, it was popular to show babies, but now I don't like to show babies, and it's not more interesting to show animals.
Friends, colleagues, and even bosses will jokingly ask how your turtledove is doing now, and urge her to update quickly.
"Eh, Yingying, our turtledove eggs have hatched!"
Ying Ying woke up and heard the good news.
Stepping on the bench, I couldn't wait to look at the little turtledove that had just hatched outside the balcony.
I can't see it very clearly, but I'm so happy!
With his arms outstretched, he pretended to be a bird and ran back and forth in the living room.
Huhuhu~
A question came to mind: "Mama, how big can a bird fly?" ”
Liu Xueqing smiled: "I don't know, let's observe together!" ”
Then Yingying's father drove the car, and the family of three went to the zoo.
