Chapter 62: The Golden Eagle Chicks?

"Brother Sanchi, can you show me this chick?"

Pubu Sanji looked up and saw that it was Lao Liu, so he nodded, and held this trembling little guy in both hands and sent it to Lao Liu.

Lao Liu carefully took the fledgling, held it in his palms and carefully looked at the color of the young bird's hair and claws, and then nodded: "If I am not mistaken, this should be a golden eagle chick." It is estimated that this chick is only about three weeks old. ”

"Golden eagle? You said this is the chick of the golden eagle? Brother Ang, are you not mistaken? How can you see a golden eagle here? It seems that the golden eagle will not move in such a high place, right?" The big dog seemed to know the golden eagle well, and what he said was a little reasonable.

Seeing that a group of people around him were watching him, he scratched the back of his head and explained a little embarrassed: "The main thing is that I just watched a video about golden eagles last week, so I know a little about golden eagles." ”

Sister Zhuoma also said: "Yes, the most we usually see here is the sacred bird, and I have never seen a golden eagle." ”

Lao Liu said with certainty: "Although the golden eagle will not live at such a high altitude, there are exceptions to everything. Besides, you can see golden eagles in the Himalayas, so why can't you see them here? The altitude here is much shorter than in the Himalayas, right?"

"Besides, the fledgling of the alpine vulture is not of this color, and the young of the alpine vulture are grayish-white, and the chicks of the alpine vulture are late-blooming and grow very slowly, and at least they must live in the nest for more than 12 weeks under the feeding of the parent birds, and most of the chicks will leave the nest for more than 20 weeks! ”

"Angzi, then how do you determine that this is the chick of the golden eagle?" Tian Peng asked.

"Quite simply, in addition to what I just said, there is an important reason that the eagle that can live at such a high altitude is the only one that can live at such a high altitude, except for the alpine vulture. In addition, mountain vultures give birth to only one chick in a clutch, while golden eagles usually give birth to two in a clutch. ”

Sister Zhuoma asked puzzledly: "We can still figure out the first reason, but how can you tell that this is a golden eagle chick by the number of chicks?"

Lao Liu smiled slightly, "Because there is only one nest of alpine vultures left, the parent birds are very careful about raising their chicks." But the golden eagle is different. Golden eagles usually lay two eggs in a clutch, and the first egg will always break a few days earlier than the second egg. The parent bird of the golden eagle will often take good care of the first chick that breaks out of the shell, and ignore the second bird. Especially in addition to the attitude of the parent bird, two newborn chicks will fight with each other. Well, it's a bit of a misnomer to use the word strife, to be more precise, the first chick will often bully the second bird. ”

"Huh?" the people around them said in unison.

"It's nothing, it's a common phenomenon among golden eagles. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and this golden eagle's nest is also like this. Two newly-born chicks often end up with the second chick being driven out of the nest by the first chick! Don't think that the golden eagle is high above and overlooks, but in fact, the golden eagle has been in a life-and-death competition since birth, which is very cruel. ”

After a pause, Lao Liu continued: "Obviously, this chick should be the unlucky egg who was kicked out of the nest. You see, one of the wings of this chick is clearly out of order, probably falling from the nest. But this little guy is lucky enough, it is really big enough not to fall to death. ”

Pubu Sanji on the side thought thoughtfully for a long time before he said, "Maybe what Brother Liu said is right." Since June, I have noticed that from time to time there are two large birds flying west on the hill opposite the lake. The body size is not as large as that of the sacred bird, but the color of the feathers is very different from that of the sacred bird. I didn't care about it at first, but when Brother Liu said this today, I guess those two big birds flew from somewhere else. It should be a golden eagle. ”

At this time, the big dog who was fiddling with his mobile phone on the side raised his head and said, "Brother Ang, there is something wrong." ”

Several people looked at the big dog with puzzled eyes.

The big dog held up his mobile phone and said: "I just checked, golden eagles living in middle and low latitudes usually start to lay eggs from February to March, and golden eagles in high latitudes start laying eggs between April and May. But it's mid-August now, and according to the age of this chick, it should have been born last month. That's not right. ”

Lao Liu also said something without FU*K.

On the other hand, Dunzhu Zhuoma said: "What's so strange about this? This is the plateau, we have never seen a golden eagle living here before, and now there are two of them? Who knows if these two golden eagles have mutated due to environmental changes after they flew here?"

Well, Dolma's words made everyone present say nothing......

In fact, it is not that there are no golden eagles in the depths of the plateau, but they are relatively rare. It is no problem for the golden eagle to live in the depths of the plateau.

Pubu Sanji scratched the back of his head and asked, "Then what should I do? If it is really a golden eagle, it is a national first-class protected animal, and it is not allowed to be raised privately at all." And there seems to be something wrong with the wings of this chick, and I can't keep it. ”

Sanchi's words made everyone around him scratch the back of their heads.

If this chick is really a golden eagle chick, then this chick must be sent to the relevant forestry department, no one dares to raise this kind of national first-class protected animal, once it is found, it will really be sentenced.

But the problem is that the chick is not only injured, but also looks hungry and dying, and it looks like the white lion licking Tintin - playing (finished)......

Lao Liu thought for a while and said: "Give me this bird, whether this chick is a golden eagle or not, I have to find a way to raise this chick first." If you can't feed it, it's all nonsense. Well, if this bird is fed, I'll send it to the Forestry Bureau of Dangquka County or the Forestry Bureau of Sunshine City. ”

Several Tibetans glanced at each other, and Pubu Sanji nodded, "Okay, then I'll hand over this chick to you." ”

"Don't worry, when the time comes to hand over the birds, I'll say this is the ...... I picked up in no man's land."

Sanji nodded gratefully.

Lao Liu walked to his car with the fast-moving chick in one hand, and said to the big dog: "Dog, you go get some fresh lamb liver, chop it, you have to add some nutrition to this little guy in a while, I'll feed it some water first." ”

"Brother Chen Peng, you come with me, I still have fresh lamb liver at home. Sister Zhuoma said, and the big dog immediately went with Zhuoma.

Lao Liu opened the car door, carefully placed the chick on the seat, and opened the mineral water bucket, there was not much spring water left in the bucket, that is, more than one liter.

Lao Liu made a mineral water bottle, filled it with some spring water, pierced the bottle cap with an eye, and then pinched the nestling's mouth to make it open its mouth, dripping water into the nestling's mouth drop by drop.

Now such a large chick does not know how to drink water on its own.

(PS: Well, there was this golden eagle chick hidden in the pit before, Lao Liu's second pet appeared, everyone give some recommendation votes to support it!)
