Parrot Aoi and Raven Ado

The adopted baby raven began to thrive under Kui's dedicated care. Within two weeks, the flesh it had shed had grown back completely, and its appearance was no different from that of the young ravens of the same age.

After another week, its height, weight and size have completely surpassed other little ravens of the same age, and its body ran away in the shape of a ball.

At the beginning, Aoi was a little worried about this, so she took Du to the bird club again on the rest day, saying that she brought the little bird for a follow-up visit, but in fact, she wanted Mr. Osaki to show her that this little bird Is it right to raise birds like this?

It is rare that Mr. Osaki, who has time today, already knows that the Hayakawa family has adopted this little raven. He reckons that with Chengyi and Aoi's prudent personalities, this bird will probably become a frequent visitor to his clubhouse in the future.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Osaki simply checked the chick's body and established a health file for the little raven here. While writing, he said, "It's a bit overweight, but it has a big body and a big skeleton. Fortunately, it is normal to have a weight that exceeds that of other young birds of the same age, and there is nothing to worry about."

Ah Kui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and the crown feathers that were originally erected on her head were also flattened.

After examining the little raven, Mr. Osaki put away the records in his hand, and then thought about Chengyi and Aoi and asked, "It's in good health now, and it's reached the age of one month. Do you need to give it deworming treatment?"

There are also parasites inside and outside the body of birds, especially wild birds brought back from the wild like the little raven. It is best to do the work of getting rid of parasites before raising them.

And when the little raven was picked up, it was in a very bad state, so Mr. Osaki didn't mention it.

Anyway, the little bird had no hair on its body at the time, and there was no place for ectoparasites to hide and survive. It is estimated that no adult bird had fed it food, so the chance of internal parasites was not great, so let's take it easy.

Now that the little bird has grown up and is in a strong body, although Osaki judged from his experience that the chance of this bird being infected with parasites is very small, it is not wrong to take precautions. Doesn’t Aoi come over regularly every year for deworming?

"There will be, are there parasites?" Aoi, who was worried about the health of the chicks, asked.

"Ah, it doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment. If you haven't fed raw food, the chance of infection is very small. But after all, it was brought back from the wild, so it's okay to do deworming just in case."

Aoi looked down at the chick who had been leaning on its paws after breaking free from Mr. Osaki, and felt that it was still young, so she asked again: "It must be now? Later, okay?"

"Of course, you can choose the time for deworming. I have time at any time."

While Aoi was asking questions, Cheng Yi had been observing the chick that was leaning against the parrot's paw, looking at the chick that had completely changed, the chubby little one couldn't see the distressed look it had in the past. Things, Cheng Yi asked in amazement: "The raven is such a miraculous bird, its recovery ability is really strong."

"Huh? Didn't you say that your family is going to adopt this little raven? You didn't check the information carefully, which is not in line with your temper." Mr. Osaki, who knew Chengyi's character, asked in surprise.

"Hahaha, I've been a little busy at work recently, and Aoi has been busy taking care of the birds, so I haven't had time yet." Cheng Yi, who was busy from morning till night due to the surge in tourists during the blooming season, replied.

"Oh, that's right, every winter and spring is the busiest time for your hotel on the mountain. Since this is the case, I'll help you make up your lessons."

When he said this, Mr. Osaki just finished entering the new customer file. He kicked his foot on the floor a little, and his body naturally turned around with the seat.

He caressed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hands. In the slight reflection of the glasses, he said in a very formal manner like a teacher in class: "Ravens are very common birds. They are members of the passerine family. A bird with the largest body and the highest IQ. The adult bird of this bird is black all over, and the feathers will have a blue-purple metallic luster, which is the obvious difference between them and crows. Ravens are loud but very uncomfortable It sounds good, so there are always some people who have some prejudice against them, and even hate them, I hope you can understand this."

"Understood." In fact, it's not just ravens, all kinds of crows are absolutely unpleasant in the eyes of some people because of their appearance and calls.

But Hayakawa's homework didn't have this idea. Cheng Yi felt that instead of deliberately avoiding taboos and blaming innocent creatures for his failure, he might as well work harder on himself, and the hope of success might be even greater.

Seeing Chengyi's attitude, Mr. Osaki was very satisfied, and then continued: "If you don't mind, then this kind of bird is very easy to raise, because they are very adaptable, and their recipes are also very complicated, even more complicated than sunflower parrots. .As long as it is something that Aoi can eat, ravens can eat it. In addition, small birds, rodents, reptiles, human leftovers and even carrion that Aoi does not eat, these things are also in Raven recipes."

"Of course I didn't ask you to feed the little raven like this. After all, if the food source of those things is unknown, it is still dangerous. I just want you to know that this kind of bird has a perverted ability to survive."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi looked at the chicken-sized thing with admiration, and couldn't believe that the other party's recipe was so tough.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it? So as long as you use your mind, it's hard to think about it. But to be honest, even if you don't mention their color and call, this bird's reputation on the human side is not very good. I was in a foreign country. After many years of observation, the teacher of bird science once summed up some titles for them, which are very vivid, do you want to listen to them?"

"What? It's just a kind of bird, and it has its own title?"

"Yes, after years of summarization by my teacher, he and his team agreed that birds like ravens are gangsters among birds, opportunists, and members of the society/group who are always violent/chaotic."

"Are you sure it's a name for a bird?"

"Yes, I'm very sure. In fact, I have also dealt with this kind of bird many times during the years of studying with the teachers. I have to admit that the teachers are right?"

"Nonsense, Du is not like that."

Not only did Cheng Yi not believe Mr. Osaki's statement, but Aoi's reaction was even more violent.

The big white parrot, who can't hear others say that his child is not good, has its crest erected, as if Mr. Osaki would give him a mouthful if he didn't give him an explanation.

Seeing this, Mr. Osaki raised his hands up as if to surrender, so as not to irritate the sunflower parrot protecting the young again. You must know that the beak of this bird is specially used to deal with the hard shell of nuts. What does it feel like after a bird's beak is twisted.

"Hey, calm down Aoi, I'm just discussing things. Don't you want to know more about Du's population habits so that you can take better care of it?"

Hearing this, the great white parrot shook its feathers, reluctantly accepted Mr. Osaki's suggestion, and the erected crest representing anger was finally calmed down temporarily.

Seeing this, Mr. Osaki breathed a sigh of relief silently, thinking to himself that the teacher is really hard to do now.

Although he thinks so, but this bird is a true love, as long as the things he does can make the birds have a better life, even if there is only one, he is willing to try.

So the gentleman continued: "Ravens have the habit of living in groups, especially in autumn and winter when the weather is bad and food is scarce, those ravens that originally lived scattered often gather together to live in groups. This kind of I think you have seen how tough birds are. One or two is enough, but they are simply uncontrollable after a group. For food, territory and living space, they will attack and kill other raptors, even large ones. According to the news from the scientific researchers who made observations in the Arctic, the ravens there will snatch the prey of the arctic wolves in winter, and the key is that they succeed, and they often succeed.”

"It's not just about food, the ravens in the courtship period are even more unreasonable. The male ravens' courtship flight performances are very spectacular. They can fly at high altitudes, hover at low altitudes, and even perform various stunts in the air, such as flipping, moving, and pausing. .The flexible and precise flight control even earned them a reputation as an air fighter, and it would be better if their ability was not used in dogfights."

Both Chengyi and Aoi couldn't help twitching their mouths at Osaki's remarks. As neighbors of the raven group on the top of the mountain, they have a deep understanding of this.

"In addition, if you want to raise ravens, there is one more thing to pay attention to. Like the dragon in the legend of the birds, they all like shiny things. They will see and be interested in shiny or reflective light sources. Objects with abilities can be brought back to the lair as collections and decorations."

Hearing this, Kui rested her chin with her paws, thinking that no wonder she could always feel something reflecting light in the raven's nest when she was flying outside in the past. It turned out to be the reason.

Well, it seems that birds of the genus Corvus have this habit.

"I'm not saying how bad this habit is, but I once rescued a raven, and after two months of raising it, it healed and flew away. I thought the matter was over, but it ended up being picked up by me a week later. Here comes a diamond ring. Maybe it's just one of his many collections, and it kindly came to me as a thank you gift. But God knows, it's my father's and mother's engagement rings, and my mother was in those days because of I was depressed because I couldn’t find it, but I can imagine the result after seeing it on my side, I was trained miserably, and that raven is no longer welcomed by my family.”

"In short, I just want to tell you that if you want to raise a raven, you'd better train your soldiers to control its habit. No one wants to raise a thief, and the neighbors nearby don't want to have such a neighbor either."

"Thank you for your information. We will pay special attention to it." Mr. Cheng Yi thinks what Osaki said is very important. After all, there are two adult ladies in their family who are very interested in jewelry. Cheng Yi does not want to wait for this little raven to grow up. After growing up, he would go to the other party's bird's nest every day to search for his wife's or mother's jewelry.

But with Aoi around, this kind of thing probably wouldn't happen, Aoi is very good at teaching young birds.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yi turned his eyes to look at the little bird, only to find that the little raven was looking up at Aoi.

The three-week-old chick looks at Xiang Kui with pure and clear eyes, making it impossible to believe that this little bird full of trust and dependence will grow up to become the kind of bastard Mr. Osaki said.

Lowering her head and bending her waist, Aoi used her beak to comb the chick's feathers. The chick squinted its eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, and from time to time it would make a sound like a baby to Aoi.

Well, good children need to be cultivated, and Aoi has always believed in this point.

The reason why those wild ravens have such personalities must be because their parents and mothers did not teach them well. It believes that as long as it educates itself well, it will definitely make Du get rid of the name of a gangster and become a good man with good manners and rules. bird.
