Within a few minutes, two keepers arrived.

They all looked young, probably in their 20s, wearing a gray uniform from a zoo.

When the two saw Director Meng, they immediately stepped forward to say hello, and when they saw Ye Han, they were stunned for a moment, and then they introduced themselves.

They received a notice that the director of the flower market was coming, but they didn't expect to be so young.

He looks like he's in his early 20s, a few years younger than them.

But he is already the director of the garden, and he also runs the botanical garden so well.

It's admirable.

Ye Han heard the call of a peacock.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw the keeper coming, the peacocks became much more excited, and many of them gathered around them, knowing that they wanted to feed.

Two breeders, one of whom goes to clean the cage and the other handles the feed in the hut.

Ye Han followed the latter to the hut.

Peacocks are the largest birds in the order of chickens, and their diet is somewhat similar to that of chickens, omnivorous, eating everything, and not eating much.

Adult peacocks eat 2-3 times a day, and the total amount is only about 125g, which is more than two or two, which is not as much as a chicken, and it is very inconsistent with the body shape.

Therefore, the cost of breeding is very low, artificial breeding is mature, and peacocks have been introduced in almost every zoo.

However, it is not easy to make its feathers bright and gorgeous, and its physique is strong and not sick.

It needs to be carefully raised.

The breeder pours the finished feed into the pot, adds some fishmeal, trace elements and other granules and mixes it, and it is completed.

Ye Han watched the other party go out with the basin, and sprinkled the feed around like feeding a chicken.

The peacocks flew down from the branches they roosted on, and swarmed around to the open space to peck at food, and the scene was very spectacular.

Ye Han's heart: It is worthy of a chicken-shaped order, and the feeding method is exactly the same.

Xu Guangyin took the opportunity to observe their condition up close, and another keeper also came to help.

They focus on individuals with flat, brightly coloured and unbroken tail feathers, a sturdy body, a strong appetite, and powerful legs.

There are more than a hundred peacocks, and the keepers are walking around scattering the feed, and it will not end for a while.

Ye Han continued to move forward, taking out the greeting gift he had prepared from his backpack, focusing on attracting those fairy-like white peacocks.

During feeding, most of the peacocks can't wait to come around the keepers and bow their heads to feed, one next to the other, their sapphire blue necks and blue-green tail feathers shining in the sun; While some peacocks are not very gregarious, especially a few white peacocks.

Perhaps because they are mutants, they are quite different in color from ordinary blue peacocks, and most of them are solitary and do not move with others.

Ye Han found a clean open space, scattered the rich and nutritious feed mixed with chopped grass and trees and fine wheat and corn in the jar on the ground, and took a few steps back.

A few white peacocks around smelled the fresh smell of the grass, and quickly raised their heads, turned their necks to look around, and then finally couldn't resist the temptation and came over tentatively.

Seeing Ye Han standing still, he dared to come to peck at it, lowered his head and swallowed the grass that attracted it the most, and feasted on it.

Ye Han's mood was a little excited.

Because she saw the largest and most beautiful white peacock in the center. ()

The white peacock in front of me is larger than the others, with a length of more than 2 meters, and its lower belly feathers are thick and white like clouds.

The latest chapter of Tan Youzhu's dream work "My Botanical Garden Explodes on the Internet" is written by ?? The first update on the whole network, the domain name [()]?『 Come []$ to see the latest chapter$ full chapter'()

The pure white feathers are clean and neat, and the root and tail feathers are gathered together, like layers of overlapping white tulle, plump and thick; The feathers with a plush texture on the periphery are fresh and elegant, and the length extends to nearly 1.5 meters.

So beautiful!

Ye Han couldn't help but marvel.

It seems to be the leader of small groups and occupies the best position for foraging.

Several other white peacocks did not dare to compete with them and scattered around.

Ye Han looked at its beautiful feathers and size, and was overjoyed, and had already decided to take it away.

She slowly approached, and the white peacock, which was pecking at the young leaves, raised its head alertly when it heard the movement, and reacted quickly.

It opened its mouth wide and barked a few times, and the tail feathers behind it shook and spread out like a fan.

The peacock's call is a little scary to hear, it is loud and high-pitched, which does not match its beautiful appearance at all, and even a little unpleasant.

Several peacocks calling together is absolutely devastating to the eardrums.

Especially hair. When you are in love, you can't wait to plug your ears.

Ye Han was also taken aback.

Fortunately, she was prepared, half squatted down, held a small branch in her hand and let the insect climb up, and shook it lightly, so as to lure the other party.

The arrogant white peacock stared at the chubby bug in Ye Han's hand.

The grass here is relatively barren, and the peacocks occasionally peck at some degraded grass seeds or gravel to help grind and digest, and there is not even fresh grass, let alone the high-quality and delicious bugs in front of them.

At first glance, it is a natural, high-protein, tender and juicy food, which has a fatal attraction to it.

The white peacock suddenly fluttered its wings and flew over, its long tail feathers fell below, and then landed in front of Ye Han, opened its mouth to catch the live insects, and swallowed them in three or two.

Ye Han fed it another one, and then tentatively reached out to stroke the feathers on its back.

It worked!

Ye Han couldn't help but smile, the white peacock's feathers were very thick and smooth, they were cleanly cared for, and they felt very good.

The white peacock obediently let her touch it, completely ignoring the arrogance and vigilance just now, and even shook its tail feathers lightly, scattering on the ground.

Ye Han took the opportunity to inspect it, it was very neat, and there was no break or damage.

Hair. Male peacocks in estrus are very fierce and will fight with each other for courtship, and even peck at the feathers of other male peacocks.

When they fight, they will inevitably hit narrow places such as fences, which will also cause feather damage.

In March and May during the courtship period, I see that one of the tail feathers of the male peacock is broken or there are some bald hairs on the top, which is basically the reason.

The good thing is that they moult every year, otherwise it will be a big loss of beauty.

When Ye Han was feeding, several female peacocks also surrounded him, all of which were the harem of the male peacock.

That's right, peacocks are polygamous (except for Congolese peacocks).

The flamboyant and combat-ready male has several girlfriends, and the one who fails in courtship is forced to be single and wait until next year.

This is also nature's choice.

() Genetically superior individuals have more opportunities to reproduce.

Seeing the beautiful white peacock surrounding Ye Han, Director Meng and another keeper looked surprised.

Maybe Ye Han doesn't understand, but they know best: this white peacock called 'Bai Xue' is not related at all, and has a very fierce temper and alert personality, and sometimes even the keeper can't get close.

The combat effectiveness is even stronger.

Although humans think that white peacocks are full of fairy spirit, in the eyes of female peacocks, of course, it is the blue peacock with colorful feathers that attracts them more.

The white peafowl is too monochromatic in plumage color, so the male white peafowl is often excluded during courtship, and sometimes manual intervention is required to achieve self-sufficiency within the white peafowl colony.

However, snow is different.

With its strong size and super combat effectiveness, it defeated several blue peacocks with bright feathers and successfully won the hearts of four female peacocks.

It is the most difficult existence in this batch of peacocks to mess with.

It was the first time they had seen Bai Xue so closely.

Director Meng couldn't help but be surprised: what method did this Director Ye use to win the favor of the other party?

Obviously not a breeder, but more powerful than a breeder.

What exactly is the secret, they have to learn from each other.

*

Ye Han fed most of the insects to a few white peacocks, and there were also a lot of chopped grass and fine grains scattered on the ground, and a dozen peacocks were pecking with their heads down around, and their long tail feathers were upturned, which was extremely beautiful in the sunlight.

This delicious taste naturally attracts other foragers.

A flock of blue peacocks flew over from not far away and began to compete with other peacocks for food, and the competition became fierce.

Bai Xue immediately turned on the defense mode, raised her head and chirped a few times, flapped her pure white wings and flew low, chasing a few blue peacocks to peck and drive them away.

One of the blue peacocks is also not small in size and is not to be outdone to confront it.

The two peacocks fly up and land from time to time, their claws and hooks facing each other, and their long tail feathers hang down from the air, or they rotate flexibly with their bodies, and even fights are beautiful.

However, a few feathers fell from time to time during the fight, indicating the fierceness of both sides.

Ye Han looked at this scene in amazement.

After all, she had never expected this situation before she came, and she was a little anxious.

Fortunately, the peacocks eat relatively little, about 40-50g a meal, and she brought a lot of food, which is enough to meet the food consumption of 20 peacocks.

Seeing that several other peacocks were also fighting, Ye Han was worried that they would be injured, so he spilled all the remaining feed on the ground.

And then - attracted more peacocks.

Ye Han: ......!

Didn't you just eat enough?

Xu Guangyin and a keeper named Sun Yan were marking the selected peacocks, and in the blink of an eye, with the sound of wings flapping, the peacocks in front of them all flew away.

Xu Guangyin: ???

Sun Yan: ???

They stood up and looked in that direction, and saw a circle of blue, white, or hybrid peacocks gathered around Ye Han, and several of them were fighting fiercely, their feathers flying around.

There are also two peacocks, one white and one blue, opening the screen, looking for an opportunity to peck at the other party

, the scream was so loud that it was obviously intimidating the opponent.

The two immediately looked at each other: ... What's going on?

The two keepers hurried over and separated them by some means.

A feeding turmoil has finally been resolved.

Ye Han carefully inspected Bai Xue's feathers, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

&nb

sp; Fortunately, there was no damage, just a few hairs on the wings.

The other blue peacocks were a little miserable.

Although the important tail feathers were not broken, the number of hair shedding was much higher than that of the other party, and several of the edge of the tail feathers also showed signs of forking, and they were pecked by the other party.

Ye Han looked at Yuan Meng with an apologetic expression, she really didn't expect this to happen.

Fortunately, no irreparable damage was done.

When a few sharp-eyed peacocks went back, they saw the jar she had put aside, tilted their heads, and put their heads in to eat the last few worms.

Even the leaves that had been placed were taken away, and there was nothing left.

Ye Han: "......"

Director Meng: "......"

Director Meng wanted to cover his face, but he didn't know that he thought that their zoo was abusing animals.

He coughed embarrassedly: "Let Ye Yuan see and laugh." ”

Ye Han immediately smiled and said, "Where, the peacocks raised in the zoo are very energetic. ”

It was better than she could have imagined.

Among them, there are several peacocks that you can tell at a glance that they are very high-quality, such as the white peacock called 'Bai Xue'.

The white peacock is mutated from the wild blue peacock, and the mutation probability is about 1 in 1,000.

At present, it can be controlled to a certain extent through artificial selection, but the number is still scarce.

What's more, it is rare to see such a high-quality white peacock.

Thinking of just now, Director Meng asked curiously, "What kind of feed is in the jar you are holding?" ”

If any of the feeds can achieve such good results, they immediately change suppliers.

Ye Han explained with a light smile: "I let the employees match it by themselves. Freshly picked grass and young leaves are chopped between the flowers, mixed with fine grains, and some insects are caught and placed in them. ”

Director Meng glanced at her in surprise.

The fact that it takes so much effort to prepare feed for the peacocks is enough to prove that Hanamaji attaches great importance to animals.

He seemed to understand why the swans in the flower collection were so high-quality.

The peacocks in their own zoo will definitely be well taken care of when they go to the flower fair.

In the end, Ye Han selected 14 blue peacocks and 6 white peacocks as agreed before.

Among them, there are 11 male peacocks and 9 female peacocks.

No way, unless manual intervention, there are always male peacocks who can't find a girlfriend.

Even if she introduces a higher number of females, the result is that a high-quality male peacock such as Bai Xue has more females, and the one that can't take the turn still can't take the turn.

Ye Han thought of elephant seals.

The leader of the group can have dozens or even more than a hundred females, and the rest of the males are all singles, and they don't want to touch a single one.

Of course, as a leader, you will be challenged by other male elephant seals every day, covered in scars, and will die of injuries within a few years.

But before death it was

Jing has a large number of offspring, which is much better than being single all the time.

It's all about reproduction.

However, in order to avoid the male peacock from being depressed when he can't find a girlfriend, Ye Han has already made an agreement with Director Meng:

Wait until next year for peacock hair. During the estrus period, I will bring a few male peacocks to the zoo to have sex. Match.

There are so many females here, and they are sure to be able to succeed in courtship.

*

After the park closed in the evening, 20 peacocks were successfully transported to the peacock garden in Huajian after a series of cleaning, packing and transportation.

Breeder Sun Yan also followed.

Due to the timid nature of the peacocks and the new environment, Ye Han was worried that they would be stressed, so he didn't let other employees come over for the time being.

She, Xu Guangyin, and Sun Yan worked together to unpack the long tube that wrapped the peacock's tail feathers and put them into the peacock garden.

The peacocks were wary at first, flapping their wings and flying up the branches, but they were soon attracted by the grass seeds and fresh grass scattered on the ground, and came down to feed.

Occasionally, you can also eat plump and juicy bugs, which have a good taste and can supplement them with a lot of protein.

Ye Han also prepared an after-dinner fruit for them: Sichuan pears – one of the peacocks' favorite foods.

Cut into small cubes and place on a plate for them to peck.

After a while, the peacocks obediently gathered around Ye Han and let her pet her.

Sun Yan: ......

Two meals were bought.

He has been in the company for more than two years, and he has never been treated so intimately, and he can't help but feel a touch of bitterness in his heart.

But he looked around at the surrounding arrangement, and had to admit that the peacock garden created by the flower collection can be described as dedicated.

The space in the park is very large, not to mention 20 peacocks, 100 peacocks can move.

There is no fine barbed wire fence on the perimeter, but a semi-open environment.

The entire peacock garden is enclosed with a 1.2-meter-high wooden fence, and a circle of manicured greenery is planted along the inside of the fence to separate visitors from the peacocks.

This arrangement is of course the best.

It will not affect the sight of tourists because of the barrier of the iron net, nor will it affect the activities of the peacock.

It's just that he wondered: Isn't this director worried about the peacock flying away?

Although captive-bred peacocks don't fly as high as wild peacocks, a height of three or four meters is certainly fine, and the fence set up is just over one meter?

Of course, Ye Han was not worried.

Good birds choose trees to perch.

If the environment here is good enough, why would the peacock go somewhere else?

The Peacock Garden has comfortable and spacious spaces, delicious food, clean water and green habitats, as well as hatching areas, rest areas, luxury cages, wooden racks, sand for sand baths, and even a courtship area for them to display their feathers.

At the same time, the cleaning system will keep the park clean and hygienic at all times, which can be described as an ideal living environment.

It doesn't matter if you accidentally fly out of the peacock garden, the same goes for the free-range small animal area that falls outside.

The monitoring system will set certain areas and protection measures so that they will not fly too far.

Sun Yan watched the peacocks eat and drink enough, went to the stream to drink water, and then stood beside the stones to alienate the feathers, relaxed and comfortable, not too suitable for the environment.

All right.

Even as a professional breeder, he couldn't fault anything.

The flower set must be able to raise these peacocks well.

......

After the peacocks were in place, in exchange, the staff of W City Zoo came to pick 8 swans.

When the swans left, their cries were a little miserable, and Ye Han couldn't bear it, so he went over for several days to comfort them and help them adapt to the environment.

Ye Han also dropped several drops of plant nutrient solution into the lake where he was located to promote the development of aquatic plants and algae plants, and help the swans improve their diet.

He also brought a few large buckets of fresh small fish and shrimp over and poured them into Swan Lake, so that they could have a sufficient food supply in the near future.

The swans in the flower collection can be seen at a glance to distinguish them from the original zoo.

It was not obvious when I stayed in the flower set, but now I am larger than the others, the plump feathers are higher, the wings are broad and powerful, and the ability to fly is incomparable.

When they arrived, the other swans did not dare to provoke them.

After the introduction of the swans in the flower collection, W City Zoo announced the news with great fanfare, and it was no surprise that many tourists came to check in.

In particular, the people who live near the city zoo are very happy to see these beautiful and elegant swans at their doorstep.

Chief Meng smiled out of sight.

is worthy of being a star animal, and its popularity is high.

They will definitely take good care of these swans.

When Ye Han came over for the last time, the swans, who didn't care much about the keepers, immediately swam over, stretched their necks and put them on her shoulders, as if they also knew that they were going to part, and they were reluctant.

Some tourists took pictures of this touching scene, which caused a lot of heat on the Internet.

"Woo woo, so impressed."

"Sticky and rubbing, don't go QAQ"

"Although the city zoo is right on my doorstep, it's still a little sad to see this scene."

"To be honest, when I was a child, I was chased out of the shadows by a big goose, and I was very afraid of this kind of animal, but I didn't expect swans to be so emotional."

"In the front, the domestic goose is a goose, and the swan is a swan, and there is reproductive isolation between the two; The relationship between the geese and the geese is closer. ”

"I see, thank you Kop."

"But there is one sentence that is true, swans are very strong in combat and can fight eagles; Especially during the breeding period, don't mess with it (a concussion with a wing). ”

“！ So fierce. ”

"The white swans in the impression of the flower collection are very arrogant, I didn't expect to be so coquettish."

"Yes, no one is a bird, and I don't even look at it when I take the bread to feed it, and I feel .jpg sad."

"Upstairs, people eat much better than bread, of course it's not uncommon."

"The director is so popular, not only the plants are well cultivated, but the animals also like her."

"Who doesn't love a capable beautiful sister? I heard that the aviary's house is about to open, can I apply to be an animal? ”

……

Ye Han exchanged 15 points for a miniature monitor to be placed in the zoo, so that she could check the status of the swans at all times.

Xu Guangyin communicates with the new keepers every day to calm the emotions of the swans, believing that they will be able to fully adapt after a while.

The waters of the zoo are wider than those of the Flower Collection, and they are the best swans, with no competitors, and they can occupy very large territories.

In that regard, it will be a good life.

Ye Han was also relieved after watching the monitoring.

In the following time, after handling the relevant documents in advance, Ye Han introduced five pairs of red-bellied golden chickens.

The red-bellied pheasant is a national second-class protected animal, and illegal trade is punishable.

Therefore, under the introduction of Director Meng, she selected five pairs of bright and lively feathers from qualified breeders and purchased them at a price of 6,000 yuan each.

When it was put into the corresponding area, the employees were shocked because the male bird was so good-looking.

It is worthy of the prototype of the phoenix.!
