i have a zoo

Chapter 136 Full Blood Resurrection
After six o'clock, the zoo is closed!
Qi Ming came to the parrot cage again, where Lao Zhao was already waiting for him.

Qi Ming entered the cage and greeted the parrots friendly: "Zijin, bluejin, greenjin, Jinjin, hello!"

Several parrots felt the friendly atmosphere and opened their mouths one after another: "Hello!" "Hello!" "Ga! Ga!" "Hello!"

Old Zhao grinned strangely. Lujin was the first to learn to say hello. When did Zijin and Lujin learn to say hello?He, the breeder, didn't know anything about it.

Lvjin has been depressed recently and doesn't like to talk to people very much. It's fine if he can't hear him say hello. This Zijin will obviously say hello, and he is still cheerful and quacking at tourists every day. The co-author has learned not to say hello?
If Qi Ming hadn't said hello, he didn't know how long he would have been kept a secret.

Qi Ming tried to blow the whistle!

As soon as the loud whistle sounded, several macaws flew to the perch in front of him, watching him expectantly as he prepared to eat the nuts.

Old Zhao hooked his fingers to one side, and without saying a word, Old Zhao took out a handful of peanuts from the snack pocket hanging on his waist and handed them over.

Qi Ming handed one to each parrot, touched their heads by the way, and praised: "Not bad! Well done!"

If you do the right thing, you should give rewards, praise the animals, this is positive reinforcement training!

He also gave Lao Zhao an encouraging look: "The training is quite effective!"

"Hey." Old Zhao smiled humbly, and suddenly scratched his head, why did he feel something was wrong.

"Aren't you going to put it in a cage?"

"No, it's too troublesome, just put it on your arm!"

They each picked up two parrots and put them on their arms. Qi Ming didn't wear gloves, and Lao Zhao wore protective gloves at all times to avoid being pecked.

Several parrots were taken out of the cage, looking around at the outside environment, a little unbelievable!

They looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

What's the matter, you can see the sky at a glance, and there are no railings around?The breeder doesn't keep us anymore?Are nuts still available?
Want to fly, but dare not fly!

Qi Ming could clearly feel through the breeder's heart that the moods of several parrots fluctuated violently, with all kinds of emotions intertwined, such as excitement, excitement, eagerness to try, fear, and fear!
So he started to pass on the emotions of peace of mind in the past, and kept stroking a few parrots with mental power: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Suddenly, the green gold and purple gold standing on Old Zhao's arms flew over and stopped on Qi Ming's shoulders, as if he felt much more at ease now.

"I rely on!"

Lao Zhao is very helpless, shouldn't I, the breeder who feeds every day, be the closest to you?

After all, he is the head of the garden. It is normal for the head of the garden to be liked by animals.

But why is my heart still a little sour?Bring the parrots to the square of the zoo!
The view here is wide, mainly the lawn, not too many things to block, the most suitable for flying.

If it is changed to a place with dense trees, or among tall buildings and buildings, the parrot may faint when it flies, and the figure of the owner cannot be seen, and it will never return.

Normally, when releasing a parrot for the first time, it is necessary to tie a rope to the parrot, or cut the feathers of its wings a bit shorter, so that it cannot fly too far, but Qi Ming is too lazy to do these things.

I was a little apprehensive when it came time to fly.

"Okay, fly, fly!"

Qi Ming leaned his arms forward, Zijin and Green Gold claws grasped his arms, and his body leaned forward accordingly.

Tilted to a certain angle, it flaps its wings involuntarily to resist gravity.

As the arms moved forward, Lujin and Zijin seemed to be two gliders on the runway, and they flew into the air!
"quack!"

The voice was hoarse and excited, and it flew tens of meters away in an instant, leaving only a small dot that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye!

Zijin and Lujin flew out after seeing their companions taking the lead!

"quack!"

Lujin flapped her wings, flew higher and higher, and soared in the blue and clear sky, feeling a joyful emotion rising in her heart, and all the melancholy in the cage disappeared in an instant.

The bright sun shone on his body, his blood was heating up, and the breeze was rippling beside him, and he seemed to be able to smell a little bit of sweetness, sweeter than his favorite walnut.

Looking down at the zoo, with green lawns and big green trees, it turns out that the place where I usually live is so beautiful!

It is flying with a happy and pious mood at the moment, every cell is intoxicated in the joy of flying and cheering, enjoying every second of flying freely!

"Dudu!"

Suddenly a familiar whistle sounded from behind, and Lu Jin was flying over Xing's head, but before he could react, Lan Jin and Zi Jin, who were flying in front, suddenly turned a corner and screamed "quack".

The red and green macaw is beautiful in its own right!

Its red chest, blue-green wings, and slender red-green tail feathers fly like a rainbow across the sky.

A few macaws are flying in the blue sky, making loud "quack" calls, which is even more pleasing to the eye.

Several parrots flapped their wings quickly, and when they came to the front, they glided for a certain distance with their wings held flat, then slowed down a bit, and flapped their wings vertically a few times to increase the resistance, and landed on Qi Ming's arms in an orderly manner. Like a helicopter landing on an aircraft carrier, "Quack" yelled and looked at him.

Seeing that the parrots returned smoothly, Qi Ming calmed down with some anxiety, and without feeding them, he smiled and said, "Keep flying, keep flying!"

During the previous training, the purpose of feeding after blowing the whistle was to make the parrots aware of the connection. The purpose was to let them hear the whistle and fly over. After this connection was established, there was no need to feed each time.

Of course, when the wind is over, they will still be fed some delicious nuts as a reward.

After shaking their arms, the parrots hadn't been able to fly happily, so they immediately flapped their wings and took off from the aircraft carrier, and continued to fly to the sky.

Old Zhao watched the parrots fly into the distance, and sighed, "Hey, it's really different to fly around this time, my eyes are full of lights!"

As a qualified breeder, he needs to carefully observe the animals every day to see how they are feeling, carefully think about enrichment measures, and how to make them live happier, more comfortable and healthier.

After calling the parrots back, Lao Zhao quickly took out nuts and rewarded the parrots!

After letting the parrots fly, they were sent back to the cage.

After the green gold was released, it no longer had the look of melancholy staring at the ceiling with tears in its eyes!
Seeing that the Parrot House had returned to its usual lively appearance, Qi Ming and Lao Zhao each breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Zhao, go back early after changing shifts!"

After explaining some things to Old Zhao, Qi Ming waved his hands and walked out of the Parrot House. He was so busy that he hadn't eaten yet, and now he has to hurry to get something to eat to fill his stomach.

Early the next morning, the employees of Jiajia Zoo gathered at the side entrance of the zoo.This side door is also the side where Qi Ming and Lao Qin cleaned up the excrement last time, and it is also a door for the employees of the zoo, and they usually enter and exit through the side door when transporting feed and animals.

The reason why they stood here waiting was because Qi Ming introduced a Siberian tiger in the next city.

Although the animals not obtained through the system will not be included in the statistical data, Qi Ming decided to introduce them in order to fill the zoo's species.

Waiting for the tiger to arrive here, the employees naturally couldn't help discussing topics related to tigers. Which one is more fierce, a lion or a tiger?

This is also an enduring debate!

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and asked, "Director, who do you think is stronger?"

The employees all looked at Qi Ming with burning eyes!

Qi Ming smiled and said, "There's nothing to argue about. Both lions and tigers are the strongest cats, but they have evolved different forms according to different environments."

"Cut~" The employees were a little disappointed by He Xini's answer.

When Qi Ming was on Earth before traveling, he bought some professional books and joined some animal-related discussion groups to learn about animals in order to build a good zoo. However, his understanding of animals was limited to some popular ones at that time. Animals like lions, tigers, and pandas are not as comprehensive as they are now.

Then there will be some people in the discussion group, in order to compete for the lion and the tiger, the quarrel is so red, and it even rises to the extreme level of personal attack, the group leader frantically silences, and finally becomes disheartened The group disbanded.

At that time, Qi Ming was wondering, is it necessary to make a difference in this kind of question?What's the point of distinguishing between superior and inferior?

Do they really like lions and tigers, or do they want to satisfy their competitive desire by comparing lions and tigers?

Some people in the group also mentioned a documentary called "Tiger Roaring in Africa". It probably talked about someone taking a tiger to Africa to raise it. They said that the tiger killed two lions alone, so as to prove that the tiger is Stronger than a lion.

I rely on!

Qi Ming was extremely shocked when he heard that, someone was so insane that he could do such a thing in order to distinguish between tigers and lions?

I searched and found that some people said that tigers have been successfully rewilded in Africa, which caused a lot of damage to the local ecology and killed many lions?
Instinctively, Qi Ming felt puzzled and strange. How could it sound like a tiger joining a herd of sheep facing a lion? Is there such a big difference in combat power between tigers and lions?Do local governments in Africa ignore the ecological damage caused by tigers?
Later, he learned more about this documentary and found that it was all nonsense.

First of all, the African Roaring is the Laohu Valley project. It was originally initiated by Quan Li, the founder of the "Save the Chinese Tiger" fund in 2000, with the aim of training endangered South China tigers in captivity and releasing them into the wild in China.

As for why she went to Africa, because there is no large-scale land in China that can provide her with tigers.

Quan Li approached the famous South African wildlife producer John Wattie to cooperate, but found that Wattie misappropriated funds to buy personal production, so the cooperation between the two parties was suspended, and each established their own Laohu Valley project.

Watti's idea of ​​Laohu Valley is completely different from Quan Li's. He also knows that the controversy of ligers and tigers can bring traffic. The establishment of Laohu Valley is mainly a commercially profitable project, promoting the establishment of a wild tiger population in Africa.In the middle, the process of introducing tigers for training and breeding was filmed into two documentaries "Walking with Tigers" and "The Private Life of Tigers", which is also called "Tigers Roaring in Africa" ​​by domestic netizens.

The tigers here live in a space of 60 square meters, which is 0.6 square kilometers. Such a large area is actually not enough for tigers. In a protected area in Russia, the territory of a female wild Siberian tiger is 500 square meters Kilometers, male tigers need more territory.

Wild tigers are very exclusive, because the territory represents food, and there were 26 tigers in Vati's Tiger Valley at the time.Obviously, food is impossible in the wild, so the tiger's food source is to buy animals and put them here for the tiger to prey on.

Some people saw tigers preying on fast springbok and ostriches in the documentary, and even killed seven antelopes in one day at the end of the film. They were worried that tigers would destroy the ecological environment of Africa. If it could destroy the ecological balance, there would be ghosts.

The springbok run very fast, but they were thrown into an unfamiliar valley by a group of humans. Does it mean that the tiger is very powerful and can run faster than the springbok?Nothing can be explained.

A tiger killing seven antelopes a day is considered an act of killing, which means that a carnivore kills prey far exceeding its own food intake at one time, while a wild tiger usually only hunts enough for itself each time. More killing means that the environment is not natural and healthy ecology.

An analogy to this situation is that a student usually studies hard every day and his parents reward him for playing games for two hours on weekends, but one day he comes into the house directly with a computer loaded with various games such as eating chicken and playing games, this child Can you bear not to play, and perform an all-night cultivating immortal on the spot.

As for the legendary tiger killing the lion, there was a local flood in 2011. The tiger and the lion crowded together and the scene was chaotic. Wati was going to anesthetize the big cats and separate them. The lion’s name was Savannah, and it was a 160kg female lion. He was bitten to death by the male tiger Xitao when he was not recovering from anesthesia. It is said that there is no conflict at ordinary times. It may be that the tiger wanted to take the opportunity to kill a competitor.

A male tiger kills a female lion that has not recovered from anesthesia. Can this be used as a basis for a tiger to be stronger than a lion?

As for why a tiger kills two stray lions with one against two, and the tiger kills a group of lions and kills the leader of the lions by the way, it is even groundless rumors, and may even be intentionally spread by extreme tiger fans.

Recently, when the zoo was about to introduce lions, Qi Ming checked again. There was no such documentary on Blue Star, but there were no less quarrels about lion and tiger fans than on Earth.

If you really want to say who is stronger, a tiger or a lion, it mainly depends on your weight. Of course, whoever is bigger will be fiercer.

The weight of an ordinary adult tiger can fluctuate from 100kg to 300kg. There is still a big difference in size between male and female tigers, which is also reflected in the aspect of meat eating. In zoos, female tigers eat about 12 kilograms of meat a day, while male tigers can eat meat a day. 18-20 catties of meat.

The same is true for lions. Is it meaningful to choose a large-tonnage male tiger to fight a small-tonnage female lion, or vice versa?

Generally speaking, tigers are stronger than lions. The average weight of wild lions is slightly smaller than that of tigers. After all, one lives in groups and the other lives alone. The evolution direction is different. Tigers are more suitable for fighting alone, but the difference is not much.

But if you really like lions and tigers, instead of arguing about who is stronger and who is weaker over this kind of thing, it is better to discuss how to protect their ecological environment and what impact human activities have on them.
