The grass enclosed in front is scattered with nearly 100 pigeons of different colors, all with ankle rings on their feet, most of them are pure white, and there are also pigeons with spots or stripes all over the body, or the whole light gray, and the front chest is shining with a metallic luster, and there are various types.
Without exception, they are all raised to be oily and smooth, with plump feathers and streamlined bodies, which are good at flying at a glance.
They are scattered in several areas at this time, pecking at the grains spilled by tourists, constantly making low 'cooing' sounds, and even pecking at the hands of tourists.
After seeing this scene, Yao Bing was looking forward to it in his heart.
In total, she hadn't experienced this activity for a long time since she had fed the pigeons in the park two years ago.
The two of them eagerly parted the half sack of grain and took a few steps forward, spilling one part around and the other in the open palms.
The pigeons are timid in nature, and as soon as they approach, they fly up in large numbers, landing on tree stumps and supports not far away, and watching them sideways, 'cooing' one after another.
While the other pigeons were still pecking at the fine grains not far away, they were unmoved.
The pigeon that flew away saw that Yao Bing and the two had no other movements, and quickly flew over again.
More than a dozen pigeons weave back and forth around Yao Bing, their necks moving little by little, and then quickly pecking at the corn, peas, sorghum and other grains scattered on the ground, sometimes flapping their wings and fighting each other.
The three or four pigeons that were more daring slowly paced towards them, and Yao Bing was overjoyed, lowering his hand a little, waiting for them to eat.
At this moment, a carrier pigeon with a purple metallic flash on its neck flapped its wings and landed on Yao Bing's wrist, startling her.
Fortunately, the clothes are thick in winter and the sweater sleeves are long, otherwise it would still be a little painful to be caught.
But this pigeon seems to be a little different.
Yao Bing observed carefully and found that its body was more slender, with extremely smooth lines at the top and narrow at the bottom, and its feathers were tight and shiny, especially its eyes, which were bright and bright.
Although she didn't know the breed of pigeon, the one in front of her was of the highest quality.
The other two bold pigeons also came closer, tilted their heads, and then pecked at the corn and grain in her hands, their mouths touching their palms from time to time, and a slight itch.
Yao Bing couldn't help but smile, it was really rewarding to feed like this.
The carrier pigeon standing on the wrist began to flutter its wings rapidly, as if to drive out the other competitors.
And Yao Bing found from its fanning outer wings... Seal?
?
Waiting for the other to retract her wings, she carefully spread the outer edge of its feathers with her hands.
It's really a seal!
Each feather has a different stamp, and there are [Qualifiers] [First Pass] [Second Pass]......
What does that mean?
Tan Shuangshuang also found two carrier pigeons with seals.
One of them seems to have a slightly injured tail, and it is not very agile when flying, but it is very lively, and it is the fastest to grab food.
Tan Shuangshuang touched its tail lovingly.
The beautiful carrier pigeon with a metallic green glitter 'cooed' twice, pecked her fingers lightly to show affection, and then spread its wings and flew to the stake to rest, combing its feathers, very elegantly
"Hey, these stamped ones should be
Pigeon racing, right? "There is a well-informed tourist.
"Pigeons for racing?" Her friend asked curiously.
"Yes (), my ex-husband was obsessed with this for a while? ()_[()]?『 Come and see the latest chapter ♂ in its entirety'(), ♂ raise hundreds of pigeons, build a pigeon loft, train, feed, and spend the money for a house.
It's impossible to win a prize, it's all a game for kryptonite players, but he can't listen to any persuasion. ”
"Pigeon racing is the same as betting on horses and football, and it is easy to be addicted. So it didn't take long for him to become my ex-husband. ”
"Ah......" The friend obviously knew it for the first time, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
"I'm glad I was divorced at the time." The woman stroked the little girl's hair, watched her happily play with the pigeons, and her eyebrows were gentle: "At that time, the family still had some assets, and it is estimated that there is nothing left now, and they are all spent on the competition." ”
Pigeon racing, which first emerged in Europe, has been very popular in China for more than 20 years, and the prize money for one loft races can reach millions or even tens of millions.
The value of the winning pigeon has also increased significantly, and it has been auctioned for a whopping 12.5 million.
However, this race is very cruel for the pigeons.
For example, in the 400km race, the pigeons have to fly for at least seven or eight hours before they return.
On the way, there is a high risk of encountering bad weather, losing direction due to magnetic field interference, being hunted by birds of prey, being caught by humans, and not being able to adapt to the wild environment.
In the end, out of the 1,500 pigeons that took part in the race, only a little over 100 made it back, with a return rate of less than 10%.
Most of the remaining 90% do not survive, and a small number are adopted by well-wishers and released by the pigeon association, but some people may pick up the soup and stew it directly (which is an illegal act of embezzlement of other people's property).
And these owners who 'lose' in the races usually don't take them, because they are worthless.
Due to the establishment of the Wild Bird Rescue Station, Flower Fair has recently received a number of injured pigeons, all of which are the product of the One Loft Races some time ago.
So Ye Han contacted the local pigeon association and asked its owner to come and claim it.
However, high-end players are only interested in the wins and prize money of the races, and do not want to let these eliminated pigeons occupy the places.
Not to mention spending money on their medical treatment, breeding, and training, so they are almost unclaimed, and some people explicitly say 'no more'.
Ye Han felt chilled by this, but there was nothing he could do.
Although the pigeons are trained and high-quality pigeons, they are still essentially the product of captivity, not wild, and can be bought and sold at will.
All she could do was contact the people of the pigeon association to see if they would be accepted.
After negotiation, Huajian integrated into a sub-station for pigeon rescue, responsible for sheltering and rescuing nearby carrier pigeons.
The pigeon association will provide some technical support.
Since the establishment of the aviary, the flower house has treated nearly 20 pigeons.
Some of them are just lost and exhausted, just take more rest; Some of them were not seriously injured, but they recovered quickly under the care of professionals, and happily foraged for food with the pigeons.
There were also two that were too badly injured to be saved.
Ye Han was very sorry for this.
After they recovered from their injuries, Ye Han originally planned to release them, but the pigeons circled a few times above and then flew back again.
Show that you want to
() Gather and stay among the flowers.
The scenery here is beautiful, the space is vast, the degree of freedom is high, and you don't have to stay in a cage all the time; And there are luxurious houses, sufficient food, and many friends to accompany them, which can make them feel safe when they live in groups.
In particular, the staff also rescued them and gave them meticulous care.
Ye Han felt that the carrier pigeons were very spiritual, and if the owner treated them well, he would definitely do his best to fly back, even if he was injured.
However, the feelings are average, and they are abandoned, and the carrier pigeon will also try to find a second owner.
She touched the pigeon hen on her arm, and the other pigeon's eyes were very beautiful, and she could see at a glance that it was different from a normal pigeon.
It is said that it has Belgian XX blood and is in good condition, and the auction price at that time reached tens of thousands of yuan.
It's a pity that its owner didn't want it because of a wing injury, but he felt a loss.
After negotiation, Ye Han bought it for 3,000 yuan.
In fact, the veterinarian has already checked that the wings of this pigeon named Fino have recovered very well, and there is probably no problem.
But for long-distance flights of up to four or five hundred kilometers, no one can guarantee whether it will have an impact.
Anyway, Ye Han didn't need it to compete.
Such a beautiful and spiritual pigeon is not bad to keep in an aviary.
It may surprise visitors.
*
Yao Bing and the two saw the sign outside the fence, which was also hand-drawn.
The pigeon depicted on it was swept up in the air by a strong wind and landed on the ground, its wings injured and dying.
Then he was taken home by a good Samaritan.
But well-wishers don't know how to help, and they are in a hurry.
Note below: Do not move, feed the pigeons some clean water and food such as corn and peanuts.
As soon as possible, call the carrier pigeon association number: XXX, or contact the flower collection: XXX.
Thank you for your help.
Note: Each pigeon has an exchange and locator, it is illegal to take possession of it privately, please supervise each other.
From the rabbit illustration just now to the pigeon racing here, Yao Bing and the two can feel the heartfelt love of the flowers for the animals.
And it is precisely because of the love of the staff that these animals are so lively and cute, and they are so happy.
Just as he was thinking, some other tourists exclaimed, "Look——! ”
Yao Bing and the two turned around when they heard the sound, only to see the flock of pigeons that had finished foraging, taking off with a hula under the leadership of the head pigeon 'Fino', and the sound of wings vibrating one after another.
From their point of view, they can see the white wings of the pigeons' backs and the scene of them flying into the air at the same time.
They looked up and couldn't help but say 'wow' with everyone.
Immediately after, nearly a hundred pigeons began to circle around the area.
In the front are the pigeons with shiny coats, and in the back are a large number of pure white pigeons, which are staggered and fast, and the scene is extremely spectacular.
Yao Bing looked along the trajectory of their flight, and when she was far away, the leading pigeon was shiny and dazzling, and the white carrier pigeon behind her flew in flocks like seagulls; However, in the blink of an eye, they came closer.
She couldn't help but look up, only to see dozens of white doves flying above her head, so close that it seemed to be within reach.
And then she lost her mind slightly
In the next second, he quickly flapped his wings and flew away, leaving an arc-shaped trajectory. ()
So beautiful.
Tan Youzhu's work "My Plants
The latest chapter of "The Garden Explodes on the Whole Network" is composed of ?? The first update on the whole network, the domain name [()]?『 Come on[]? See the latest chapter? Complete Chapters'()
It was the first time she had seen such a shocking sight.
Many tourists are taking pictures and filming this rare scene.
'Fino' circled the pigeons in mid-air, and every time they passed overhead, you could hear the exclamations of the tourists.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the dreamlike scene as they moved around.
The flock of pigeons has been flying around the area for more than a dozen laps, and under the leadership of the first pigeon, nearly 100 pigeons have landed in batches on tree stumps or stands to rest.
There are also those who peck at the leftovers of food in the grass and do not waste them at all.
'Fino' stands on top of the highest stake and combs his feathers.
For the pigeons, this is not worth mentioning.
Many tourists recognized it as the head pigeon.
Without him, it's too conspicuous.
"Ahhh
"It's worthy of being used for competition, and the lines are perfect."
"It's just eyebrow-raising!"
"It turns out that pigeons can be so beautiful."
"If you look at it with good eyes, you can see the difference at a glance."
"I really want to touch it, the feathers are very smooth and plump."
", the ability to control the field is too strong, no one in a group of pigeons is left behind!"
"I've never seen a scene like this before, but luckily I just filmed it."
Tourists excitedly gathered around to take pictures, taking pictures of the front, side, and eyes of 'Fino', combing the feathers, and tilting their heads curiously.
It's like a group of reporters surrounding a beautiful female star with feverish eyes.
Not surprisingly, another star animal is about to be born.
……
Yao Bing just now only cared about appreciating it, and didn't care about taking pictures at all.
I don't know if I can see such a scene in the future.
But she immediately reacted, of course.
Not anywhere else, but Flower Set can.
It's great to be able to feed cute animals for free and watch pigeons fly shows, right?
Totally exceeded her expectations.
Think of soft dwarf rabbits, cute little sika deer, cute squirrels... The noble pigeon can't help but smile.
I'm looking forward to the next trip.
In front is the Peacock Garden.
Yao Bing: "I don't know if I have a chance to see Peacock Open the screen today?" ”
Tan Shuangshuang: "It depends on luck." ”
Yao Bing: "It really depends on luck. ”
I have the impression that sometimes several male peacocks open the screen at the same time, and sometimes they can't see one after waiting for a long time.
I don't know why.
In short, there is a lot of chance.
But she thinks that with the strength of the flower set, she should be able to see it, right?
If you can't see the peacock open screen, you will definitely regret it.
The two entered through the entrance, but they didn't expect the environment to be semi-open.
Yao Bing's expression couldn't hide his surprise.
The first time I saw a peacock garden that didn't do any protective measures.
Although the area is very vast, aren't you afraid that the peacock will run away?
() Flower set is really fierce! ()
However, because there is no iron fence, visitors standing on the periphery can clearly see the scenery inside.
(7) Tan Youzhu Dream reminds you that "My Botanical Garden Explodes on the Whole Network" will be updated in [] as soon as possible, remember [()] (7) "Come to []$ to see the latest chapter $ complete chapter" ()
In front of Yao Bing was a sandy field, and behind him was a large expanse of lush grass with wooden stakes and supports of varying heights.
The stream that spans the middle falls from a distant stone wall, with huge gray stones scattered along its way, and the stream winds its way through the entire area, extending outward into the unseen.
More than a dozen peacocks roamed the meadows, some holding long, ornate tail feathers, others with short, gray-brown tails.
This is the blue peacock population.
They pay no attention to visitors, pecking at the juicy grass on the grass.
From time to time, he raised his head vigilantly to look at the periphery, looked around, and when he found that there was no danger, he lowered his head and continued to forage for food.
Occasionally, when a big fat bug is caught, two or three peacocks next to it immediately come to snatch it, and the poor bug is immediately divided into five horses and enters the mouths of different peacocks.
Tourists: "......"
Good guys, no tricks at all.
is worthy of being the king of birds, very arrogant.
But I have to say that the male blue peacock is really beautiful.
Yao Bing was already impressed by their appearance, especially the one on the left.
It is larger than other peacocks, with a crest of blue feathers on its head, and stands tall and erect; The slender neck and chest are sapphire blue, gorgeous and luxurious.
The tail feathers are twice the length of the body, and when closed, they are thick and dense, and you can see the eye-like spots and silky falling texture distributed every other section, showing an emerald green and blue metallic luster in the sun, bright and eye-catching, enough to imagine how beautiful it is after opening the screen.
She couldn't help but pull Tan Shuangshuang's hand, "Look at that blue peacock, oh my God, it's so beautiful!" ”
Even if you don't have the screen open, it's amazing.
This is the blue peacock that started fighting with 'White Snow', named 'Blue Light', and is currently the leader of the blue peacock group.
A well-deserved TOP.
When picking a peacock, Ye Han was the first to determine Bai Xue, and the second was it.
"The white peacock is over there!" Someone suddenly spoke up.
Yao Bing immediately looked over.
Due to the wide area and the greenery, visitors around Yao Bing are located on one side of the circular field, close to the blue peacock population.
The white peacock is located on the right side of the stream branch, and does not land on an empty stake, but perches on a tall tree behind it.
One of the most striking is of course the snow.
Shirayuki tilts his head slightly, and his long tail feathers hang down from the 3-meter-high branches, like a white waterfall.
The tail feathers are pure white without a trace of variegation, and the clusters of tail feathers are gathered together, like countless overlapping silk yarns, luxurious and heavy; The ends and edges have a silky drape, fresh and elegant, until they reach the halfway point, and the length is amazing, full of fairy spirit.
With the huge canopy of the tree and the branches stretching out above, in the dense green, it seems to be a white mythical bird living in the wild.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
The tourists who saw it were already stunned.
It was the first time they had seen such a beautiful scene.
In the forest in early winter, the pure white 'phoenix' falls on the branches, looking back, the tail feathers falling, and the soul is studied.
They were stunned for a few seconds before they hurriedly took out their phones to take pictures.
The tourists standing on the other side gathered in that direction, and Yao Bing and Tan Shuangshuang also walked in that direction.
Fortunately, there are not many people now, otherwise it would have been very crowded.
As if sensing the gathering of the crowd, Bai Xue raised her head and opened her mouth to scream a few times, and then flew down from the branches.
With the light swaying of the branches, the white wings of the white peacock open and fan inward rhythmically, and the long tail feathers sway in the air with the movement, like a phoenix spreading its wings.
!!!
Tourists with cameras rushed to capture the scene.
It's been worth it!
Before coming, most people, including Yao Bing, were looking forward to the opening of the peacock screen; However, now, they are all obsessed with the appearance of the peacocks and the pristine environment, and no one mentions it.
It was satisfying to watch the peacocks foraging in the meadows, drinking water by the streams, or flying on the branches to rest, and flying around in the jungle.
The camera shutter sounded constantly.
Actually, it's like a wild bird.
It is enough to be surprised to see peacocks foraging in the forest and observing their living habits.
What would you ask a wildlife to do in the wild?
No.
Because at that time, human beings were merely spectators, and had no right to interfere in each other's activities.
Only birds in smaller cages for public viewing are subject to a variety of demands from visitors.
Because subconsciously they think that they are in the service of human beings.
Slapping glass, making loud noises, feeding bread, arguing for animals to do certain things, etc., are essentially based on an asymmetrical relationship.
The Flower Cluster has shaped this original ecological environment, which virtually makes everyone feel like they are in the wild.
They can only stand a few dozen or a hundred meters away, and cannot get close or enter the habitat of the peacocks.
Coupled with the ignorance of the peacocks, the two groups are well managed, so that the audience does not dare to disturb easily, and unconsciously admires them as spectators.
The appearance of Bai Xue and Blu can really play, not losing some wild peacocks, and their personalities are also very fierce.
Since coming to the flower fair, their lifestyle has gradually become more and more semi-wild, with good food and more colorful feathers.
None of them recognized that they were peacocks introduced from the W City Zoo.
The living environment and habits are too different.
Yao Bing and Tan Shuangshuang frantically took pictures of the white snow and blue light in the lead.
Ahh
Especially when it flies, the blue peacock can fly dozens of meters away at once, the wings of agitation are spread, and the tail feathers fluttering below are gorgeous and colorful, and the mythical and legendary phoenix is nothing more than that, right?!
And after that, they are about to see another kind of 'phoenix'!
