On the weekend, Liu Xueqing's house!

At this time, Liu Xueqing and Yingying moved a chair outside the balcony to sit and observe the situation inside through the glass door.

I didn't go to the zoo this weekend, so I stayed at home to see turtledoves.

It has been half a month since the baby turtle dove was born.

During this time, the turtledove's parents flew around every day, looking for food and coming back to feed them.

When I was born, I didn't open my eyes. Now she can stand up, jump out of the flower pot, stretch her wings, comb her feathers, kick her legs and jump, and move on the flower stand on the balcony, and Liu Xueqing is surprised by the speed of growth.

The last two days seem to be a little different!

Father Turtledove, after feeding, did not stand on the railing of the balcony as usual.

Instead, flapping her wings, she flew from the balcony of Liu Xueqing's house to an air conditioner diagonally opposite.

It's about 4 or 5 meters away!

Looking at this side, he opened his mouth and barked twice, as if to let the little turtledove learn to fly over.

In the past two days, the two little turtle doves have also been combing the feathers of their wings all day and night, as if they are preparing for the flight.

A small turtledove looked at the father of the turtledove on the air conditioner, stood up slightly, walked around, raised his foot and jumped twice, as if preparing for the activity.

Moved out little by little from the flower pot, jumped to the shelf on the balcony, spread his wings slightly, glanced outside, took it back again, turned around and jumped back into the flower pot.

The body shrunk into a ball, looking a little uneasy, looking at the turtledove mother standing next to the flower pot!

One of the more timid glanced at the air conditioner opposite, and was so scared that he shrank directly under the belly of the turtledove's mother, and his head was buried deeply, as if only by sticking to his mother's warm fluff could he feel a little sense of security.

Mother Turtledove glanced at it, but didn't make any other moves.

Just staying here in peace is a soothing encouragement to the little turtledove.

Liu Xueqing was also very nervous, her palms were a little sweaty, her house was on the 7th floor!

Looking at this posture, the little turtledove has now begun to learn to fly, if it doesn't fly up and fall down at such a high place, it won't fall to death directly.

The little turtledove shrank for a moment, and came out from under the belly of the turtledove's mother.

Dad Turtledove will also fly back from the other side! He opened his mouth and screamed twice.

It seems to say that flying is actually very simple, you see how I flew over and flew back!

The mother turtledove also stood up, jumped on the railing, spread her wings and flapped twice, looking at the little turtledove, as if she was demonstrating and guiding them to fly.

Learning to fly is the first step in your bird's life! You can fly now, and you have to overcome the fear in your heart, if you don't learn to fly, you can't grow up.

Two large turtledoves took turns, jumping up and down between the balcony railing and the flower pots.

Ying Ying looked at this scene, and also understood something, and asked, "Ma Ma, is the little turtle dove going to fly?" ”

Liu Xueqing said: "Well, it should be!" ”

"Oh!"

Ying Ying watched it with relish, and she didn't worry or fear the little turtledove at all.

Isn't flying a natural thing for birds?

Turtledove's father flew over to the air conditioner on the opposite side again, and demonstrated several times in a row!

In the middle, three large turtledoves flew over and landed on the flower stand on the balcony to look at the little turtledoves, as if they were their uncles and aunts and other relatives.

I heard that the child is going to learn to fly, come and see, you don't have to bring any gifts, you don't have to be polite.

Ying Ying waited for a long time, so she took out her toys and played on the ground.

Liu Xueqing also went back to the house and went over to take a look while eating.

At night, the little turtle dove still stayed in the nest and did not fly over. However, tonight, the turtledove's parents are not there, so they are left alone in the pot, and usually there is at least one large turtledove guarding the side.

It seems to be to cultivate the child's independence.

The next morning.

Liu Xueqing was thinking about the little turtledove, and when she got up at 7 o'clock, she saw that they were still in the flower pot.

The father spread his wings on the railing again and showed the little ones how to fly.

After breakfast, He Yingying continued to move a stool to observe.

After yesterday's repeated test flights, the little turtle dove stayed in the nest for a night without his parents, and seemed to have grown a lot, but today he was very bold and stood directly on the railing.

The turtledove's father called twice, turned his head to look at the little turtledove, very good, follow me!

When flapping its wings and flying towards the air conditioner diagonally opposite, a small turtle dove was the first to spread its wings and leap from the balcony!

Liu Xueqing's eyes suddenly widened, her body subconsciously stood up, and her eyes followed the little turtledove closely!

The little turtledove flapped its wings and flew after its father!

The other, a less timid one, saw that his brothers had flown off, and he was afraid that he would be left behind, so he also mustered up the courage to fly over.

All landed smoothly on the opposite air conditioner.

"Mama, the little turtledove will fly!"

Ying Ying happily jumped out of her chair, pulled open the glass door, and ran to the railing.

"Wow~"

Liu Xueqing also breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and followed to the balcony.

Looking at the turtledove family opposite, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face!

I don't know why, but I'm very moved.

I suddenly remembered that when the little turtledove took off just now, I was so engrossed that I forgot to take a picture.

Hurriedly took two photos of them, and sent them to the circle of friends: "Haha, my little turtledove can fly!" Excellent! ”

Not satisfied, the turtledove's father flew to the windowsill of a house in front of him.

He screamed twice, as if to call for the little turtledove to follow.

However, the two little ones, after just flying once, have used up all their courage.

Leaning together on the air conditioner, they huddled in two, refusing to follow.

Liu Xueqing's balcony allows them to bounce and move, and the air conditioner outside the wall is small, like a rock jutting out of a steep cliff, and it is very scary to stay here.

Father Turtledove flew back and lowered his head, as if to encourage and praise the two little ones.

They flew down, and after a while they flew back again, opened their mouths, fed the little turtle doves with food, and continued to fly around, guiding them to fly.

A small turtledove seemed to be a little moved, but it stood up and pulled a bubble of, and then fell down again.

Tonight, the two little turtledoves stayed on the opposite side of the air conditioner, and they were not accompanied by their parents, looking pitiful.

Early the next morning, Liu Xueqing habitually came to the balcony.

Looking at the air conditioner opposite, I found that the little turtledove was no longer on it, leaving only a few traces of bird droppings.

"Did you fall, or did you fly away with your parents?"

Liu Xueqing's mind swirled with thoughts.

Just thinking about it, I saw two little ones in my own flower pot, huddled together and looking at her obediently.

It turned out to fly back again.

Compared to the cramped air conditioner, it feels safer to grow up in a place where you grew up.

You may have to stay here for a while longer, and then fly away when you become proficient in flying.
