Volume 5 Chapter 13 The Little Condor Breaks the Shell
In the cave, the two eagles nervously gathered around the nest, looking at the football-sized egg in the nest.
At this time, the eggs are shaking endlessly, yes, after two months of hatching of the old eagle, the little eagle is finally coming out of the shell.
What happens when birds have human intelligence?
As a result, birds are no different from people.
When humans give birth to a child, it is like breaking through a ghost gate, the woman gives birth in the delivery room, and the man is anxious outside the delivery room.
Birds laying eggs are not dangerous, but breaking their shells is also a bad barrier for birds.
At this time, the old eagle was anxiously circling around the nest, occasionally stopping and barking at the eggs in the nest a few times, as if cheering for his children.
"Click"
Finally, with a crisp sound, a hole appeared in the eggshell, and a young bird's beak poked out.
Luo Changfeng and Dugu were both in good spirits, their fists clenched unconsciously, and the old eagle also stopped turning, lying down next to the bird's nest, and screamed "coo" in his mouth.
"Click"
After the little eagle poked out the first hole, several beaks poked out one after another, and the holes on the eggshell gradually became larger, and when the breach was large enough to a certain extent, the little eagle no longer poked the hole, but struggled desperately.
But this eggshell seems to be too hard, no matter how hard it struggles, it can never break free from the eggshell, and the little eagle has been so tired that it has rested several times.
Luo Changfeng frowned, and said to Dugu: "Brother Dugu, should we help it?"
Dugu shook his head and said: "No, at this time, the fluffy skin and flesh of the little eagle are stuck together by the egg white, and forcibly peeling the shell will hurt it." ”
"It's best for birds to come out of their shells on their own, don't you just watch the eagles when you don't see them? ”
Luo Changfeng said: "Then what should I do? I see that the little eagle is very hard, and its physical strength has been consumed a lot. ”
Dugu begged for defeat and said: "Don't worry, you go get some warm water, drip some water, and keep the egg whites slippery, if it dries, the little eagle will be completely stuck by the egg whites, and it will be dangerous." ”
"Oh!"
Soon, Luo Changfeng got warm water, Dugu took it, dipped some water with his fingers, and carefully dripped it into the eggshell.
Luo Changfeng looked at Dugu's familiar movements, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Brother Dugu, how do you look at your appearance, you seem to be familiar with this aspect?"
Dugu smiled and said, "I raised eagles when I was a child, and I learned this. ”
Luo Changfeng was suddenly, and his heart was full of emotion, he only played with mud marbles when he was a child, look at others, this is called a tall one.
After a while, the little eagle also seemed to find that the breach in the eggshell was not big enough, and poked the edge of the crack a few times to widen the gap.
"Click"
Finally, after struggling a few more times, even Dugu was thinking about whether to intervene with external forces, the eggshell made a crisp sound, breaking in half, and the little eagle's head opened the half of the eggshell on the top of his head.
"Good. Luo Changfeng couldn't help but let out a low sigh, glanced at Dugu Qiu, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
The old eagle also jumped with joy, chirping again and again, Luo Changfeng patted its wings and said, "Eagle, congratulations, from today on, you will also be a mother." ”
Dugu also hugged his fists at the old god eagle and smiled: "Congratulations." ”
"Wow Wow"
The old eagle stretched out his wings and patted Luo Changfeng and Dugu's arms, and let out two chirps containing infinite joy.
The two of them looked at the little eagle in the nest again, the little one was already the size of a quail when he was born, and there were only some sparse white fluff on his body, which were wet and sticking to the flesh.
Birds are divided into "early adults" and "late adults".
The chicks that have just hatched from the egg shell have their eyes open, their bodies have dense down feathers, their legs and feet are strong, and they can follow the parent birds to forage for food on their own as soon as their bodies are dry, and such birds are called early adults.
Late adult birds refer to the egg shell when they come out, the development is not sufficient, the eyes are not open, the body has few down feathers, or even the whole body is exposed, the legs and feet are weak, there is no ability to live independently, and they should stay in the nest to be fed by the parent birds.
Therefore, late adults are also called "rookies", because they are born with nothing and will only wait for food with their mouths open inside the nest.
The eagle is a typical "late blooming bird", the newborn little eagle, the eyelids are tightly closed, the skin is almost transparent, and even the blood vessels and internal organs in the body can be faintly seen, and the newborn little eagle is too fragile.
The little eagle consumes a lot of physical strength when it breaks the shell, and after the shell it lies down in the nest to rest, after a while, it suddenly straightens its neck, opens its beak to the sky, and makes a childish chirp of "chirp" in its mouth.
Seeing this, the old eagle hurriedly turned around and ran to the side, picked up a small strip of meat cut by Luo Changfeng from the iron basin on the wooden table, ran back to the nest and stuffed it into the mouth of the little eagle.
Luo Changfeng watched with great interest as the old condor fed the little condor, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.
Some things are speciesless, and the picture of a mother feeding her child is always full of warmth and touching.
......
The little eagle grows very fast, and in just a few days, a layer of snow-white fluffy hair has grown on the bare skin, and when it curls up in the nest to sleep, it looks like a white pom-pom.
Luo Changfeng thought that if Ah Qing saw such a little divine eagle, her eyes would definitely be filled with little stars again.
The little eagle is lucky, its mother is a predator at the top of the food chain, just like the rich second generation of humans.
It is never short of food, unlike other ordinary birds, where the parent bird is busy all day long, facing all kinds of dangers, and may not be able to find enough food.
Therefore, ordinary birds, a nest of chicks usually cannot all survive, if the parent bird has an accident, it is even more a dead nest.
Under the careful care of the old eagle and Luo Changfeng Dugu, the little eagle thrived.
Especially when it eats the gall of the Bodhisattva as a snack and the smaller whole Bodhisattva as noodles, its body shape is the same every day.
It takes three months for an ordinary golden eagle to grow feathers and can leave the nest, but the little eagle is covered with a layer of brown and gold feathers in less than two months, and it grows to more than three feet high, which is already the body shape of an ordinary adult golden eagle.
Since it was able to leave the nest, it followed Luo Changfeng and Dugu to the outside of the cave every day to practice flapping its wings.
On the day the little eagle opened his eyes, the three of them were present, and the first thing it saw was two people and one eagle, so the little eagle was as close to Luo Changfeng and Dugu as he was to the old eagle.
With the IQ of the Condor, he naturally would not mistake his mother, but Luo Changfeng and Dugu were also regarded as relatives by Luo Changfeng and Dugu...... Uh, or more accurately...... Parent birds.
