After I became a zookeeper

It was almost noon, and as the temperature rose, the forest seemed to be agitated, and the calls of insects and birds were filled with urgent noise.

Ye Zhi and Xiaolin passed a small bridge, the gurgling water relieved the heat at noon. Ye Zhi stood on the wooden bridge and looked at the water below. From the clear reflection, he saw a bird flying by with its long tail. Its slender figure was green in the water. It looks very beautiful in the reflection of vegetation.

He raised his head in that direction, and saw a long-tailed windbird with a ribbon fluttering past, and the opponent's two long soft and long white feathers fluttered gently in the air.

Ye Zhi couldn't help feeling a little intoxicated, and Xiao Lin walked over to spoil the scenery, "Ah, the dance of demons is about to begin."

"What?" Ye Zhi was intrigued by Xiao Lin's strange words, and looked away from the beautiful long-tailed bird with ribbons just now.

"Group, demon, chaos, dance, ah," Xiaolin said word by word, "It is said that noon is coming soon, and the climax of courtship kicks off. In order to win the favor of the female bird, the male birds will do everything they can to win the favor of the female bird. .”

"Birds court in many ways, such as singing, dancing, feeding, etc. Birds in Oita court through dancing." Speaking of this, Xiao Lin blinked at Ye Zhi, "Some birds' dances are really funny and funny. You come today, Be sure to keep your eyes open.”

Ye Zhiruo has Wu's head, "So we will hide later and watch the male courtship in the dark?"

Kobayashi: "?"

Kobayashi: "Why hide it? How can you see it if you hide it?"

Ye Zhi: "?"

Ye Zhi: "Why don't you hide? How can you see if you don't hide?"

The two people looked at me and I looked at you and you, and looked at each other. They both felt that the other party had a problem with their thinking, and they didn't seem to be in the same channel.

After a while, Xiao Lin sighed: "...explain, don't repeat yourself," he pulled off his hat, "tell me what you think first."

Ye Zhi: "Since we are here, we must not miss these wonderful courtship episodes. Let's hide and observe in the dark. Otherwise, if we stand there in the open, the male and female birds will definitely circle around us to hide."

Xiao Lin glanced at Ye Zhi complicatedly, "...actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated."

It doesn’t need to be so complicated, it’s interesting, Ye Zhi humbly asked for advice and asked, “How do you say it?”

"Did you see the long-tailed windbird with ribbons just now?" Xiao Lin pointed to a certain direction in the sky, "he is flying back now."

Ye Zhi looked over, and sure enough, he saw a jet-black bird flying towards this side with long white feathers, which was exactly the same shape as the one he saw just now, but in the eyes of a human being, Ye Zhi, every kind of bird has a color matching and a model, can't you recognize it? Ching is not one.

"Are you sure it's Yi?" Ye Zhi set up an awning and looked over there, "Why did he fly back again? Is he a lost road idiot?"

Xiao Lin curled his lips in disdain, "Of course I won't admit my mistake, that's their way of courtship, flying around in front of their courtship objects, showing off their gorgeous tail feathers."

"Oh~" Ye Zhi put down his hands and said indifferently, "Then what does this have to do with the question I just asked?"

Xiao Lin looked at him affectionately, "You still understand? He is courting you."

Ye Zhi: "?"

Ye Zhi: "??"

Ye Zhi: "???"

Facing Ye Zhi's doubts mixed with disbelief and confusion with unwilling eyes, Xiao Lin nodded sincerely, "You just follow him... Bah, follow my idea, sacrifice and dedicate yourself, for the benefit of both of us bird watching Courtship plan."

Ye Zhi turned and left.

Xiao Lin hurriedly chased after him, "Damn, why do you still say you're going to turn your back on it? It's not me asking you for a mate, why take all your anger on me."

Ye Zhi stopped, Xiao Lin was taken aback by his walking and stopping, and heard the other party say: "If you want to see a courtship, why don't you sell your beauty?" Ye Zhi propped his chin, "You white pigeon family Don't need to court, you just hang out with me here."

Talking about his relationship with men and women, Kobayashi's arrogance instantly dropped five feet, "Isn't it because I was dove last year, and I'm still out of lovelorn period, I just want to see other birds fall in love, so that I can live in a psychologically balanced way. .”

Ye Zhi: "..."

Ye Zhi turned around and continued walking, "Go ahead, I won't deceive other people's feelings with you."

Xiao Lin pouted behind him, the problem is not that you are deceiving your feelings now, he glanced at the increasingly noisy woods around him, it was these birds who drove you to deceive.

He shook his head, said more, followed Ye Zhi silently, preparing to watch the play quietly.

Ye Zhi walked ahead angrily, on the one hand because of what Xiao Lin said, and on the other hand courting himself for the long-tailed windbird with ribbons.

It is said that there is something unpleasant about Yi Niao asking him for a mate because of his own mental strength, and he just showed his rejection attitude and turned around to leave, but Ye Zhi felt flustered and guilty, as if he had done something Shameful things.

Ye Zhi stopped abruptly, what shameful thing did he do?

He does everything, he comes to see the birds, he comes to stroke the fluffy, he does everything wrong!Why be guilty!

Ye Zhi silently worked on his own mental construction in his head, and then suppressed the strong guilt feeling just now.

At this time, Xiao Lin had already followed, Ye Zhi glanced at him, the latter was quiet, Ye Zhi didn't say anything anymore, he suppressed his sulking, and continued to walk forward.

Yes, after walking a few steps, I saw another long-tailed phoenix, this time it was a princess long-tailed phoenix. The feathers of the whole body, including the two extremely long tail feathers, were black, and there were feathers near the head. It is peacock green.

Ye Zhi stopped, and Xiao Lin stopped, watching the nose, nose, mouth and mouth concerned about the wall, without saying a word.

Ye Zhi looked at the princess with a black face, and continued to walk past her.

However, there are more and more long-tailed windbirds flying around all the way, and they all persevere in creating a sense of presence in front of Ye Zhi's eyes.

Seeing that Ye Zhi's expression became more and more stiff, Xiao Lin came out to speak to ease the atmosphere, "Don't be so stiff, is her courtship very elegant, don't disrespect if you don't like it, you say yes."

Ye Zhi: "..."

He stopped and turned to look at Xiao Lin, "Where is the way out? I don't want to continue watching."

Obviously he came to see the cute and naive little bird, how could the feng shui turn, and now he is the one being watched?

And another thing Ye Zhi said is that he is getting more and more guilty now, being courted by so many long-tailed windbirds, Ye Zhi's heart seems to be stuffed with cotton, and he always feels as if he is sorry for someone.

It's like having a guilty conscience after finishing homework on the last day of the holiday, and being dragged by friends to play black games together. I always feel that the teacher will die miserably when he settles accounts after autumn.

Xiaolin glanced at him a few times, saw that his expression was firm and his mind was determined, and he knew that he couldn't persuade him, alas, the calculation of eating melons and watching the show was in vain, and he could lead the way, "We have already walked through half of the park before, if we want to go out, we will continue to go forward , Leaving from the exit in the other direction will save time than turning back the same way.”

"Okay," Ye Zhitou said, "Let's go as you said." Then he took a step back and signaled Xiao Lin to lead the way.

Xiao Lin looked here with nostalgia, and then at Ye Zhi, "Really don't think about it anymore? You stroke each furry one by one?"

Seeing what the other party said earlier, Ye Zhi wanted to knock him out, "Lead the way quickly."

Kobayashi: "Well."

He shyly walked forward, Ye Zhi just wanted to say "you go", when he heard a click, Xiao Lin seemed to kick something, and then there was a crash, a knee-high tower of branches collapsed in front of them.

Xiao Lin rubbed the ground and jumped back, "It's over, he won't let me pay him a wife?!"

Ye Zhi: "?" What nonsense are you talking about, why can't I understand?

Then I heard a hoarse and ugly bird call coming from the ground, Ye Zhi looked intently, and saw a gray-green bird jumping out from the collapsed branch, screaming at Xiao Lin, with the tendency of rushing to fight .

Xiao Lin huddled behind the leaves, showing his head, and yelled at the gray-green bird unreasonably, "I didn't do it on purpose! At worst, if you pile it up, it would be too much for me to compensate your female bird. It doesn't matter whether you can pursue the female bird or not! Don't mess with porcelain."

Gray-green bird: "?"

Gray-green bird: "!"

Seeing that the two quarreled in bird language that he didn't understand, and Ye Zhi couldn't understand the words in the middle, he interrupted Xiao Lin in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Xiaolin whispered his popular science, "This is a crested bower bird. Their courtship is to build a nest with tree branches. The higher the nest is, the more females will favor it."

Ye Zhi pursed her lips, "Then you..."

"Ai ai ai ai," Xiao Lin interrupted the leaves and branches, "you can't say that, the competition between the males of their bowerbirds is already great, and there are often competitors who are eager to steal the tower, peck at the foundation twice, take away a branch at a key place, and make the whole The building collapsed, Duozhu, I was just careless, and I promised him to help him build it again."

Ye Zhi shook his head after hearing this, and said disapprovingly, "It was your fault in the first place, and you apologized with a softer attitude, why are you arguing?"

Xiao Lin said aggrievedly: "That's because he touched me on the spot! He actually asked me to pay him a hen. I will pay him wherever I go!" , on his building, can it be seen?"

Crowned Bowerbird: "Gah?!" Spreading its wings on the spot, it was about to rush to fight Xiaolin.

Ye Zhi sighed helplessly, he couldn't really just watch Xiaolin change back to his original white dove, the two birds fought hand to hand, reached out in the air and grabbed the menacing crowned bower bird, stretched out the spirit bundle to calm the other's irritable mood, held it in his hand and stroked, "I will help you Take the branch, don't you get angry?"

Crowned Bowerbird: "Chirp~" The imposing voice changed smoothly, and he fell directly under the attack of Ye Zhi's sugar-coated shells, and his legs paralyzed comfortably.

Xiao Lin poked his head out from Ye Zhi's shoulder, and briefly said to the crowned bower bird in Ye Zhi's palm: "You have backbone."

Ye Zhi glanced at him, "Why don't you hurry up and set up other people's branches?"

Kobayashi: "..." Well.

The farce finally ended with a small forest of branches, which was taller and more beautiful.Ye Zhi put the Crested Bowerbird back to its nest, and pulled Xiao Lin forward, "If you don't want to make any more mistakes, I have to clean up the mess."

Kobayashi curled his lips and slandered silently. Judging from your posture, you are quite proficient in this way.

Ye Zhi walked in front, caring more about Xiao Lin's reaction. After this farce, the guilt in his heart was washed away a lot, and he realized that a dead pig with too many debts is not afraid of boiling water.

He walked forward slowly, instead of rushing out like before, he could appreciate the surrounding environment while walking.

Looking around the beautiful scenery, Ye Zhi suddenly stopped and looked over there.

I saw a bare tree trunk with leaves and branches, and a red-capped dwarf bird dancing.

Also danced the space dance.

Ye Zhi stood stunned on the spot, wanting to exclaim the guy.

Red-capped dwarf bird is his name. The top of the head is bright red, the rest of the body is black, and the two bird legs may be the reason for dancing all the year round. It looks slender, vigorous and powerful.

Especially when he dances, his two bird claws are completely exposed, and the color of feathers on his limbs is like wearing a pair of green woolen trousers.

I saw the other party taking a bald branch as the stage, and the staring eyes seemed to be his audience in the whole forest. The black tuxedo was elegantly shaped, the left paw was raised, the tip of the claw slid forward against the branch, and then the claw moved forward to In the original position, the right paw heels, the two paws alternate, and slides in place.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but want the other party to applaud.

"Hey, is he courting?" Xiao Lin looked around and gossiped to Ye Zhi, "But the female bird looks like looking at another bird."

Ye Zhi's curiosity was aroused, and he looked in the direction Xiao Lin pointed, and he saw a female bird with an ordinary appearance and not gorgeous feather color standing on a horizontal vine, admiring the dance of the other two long-tailed dwarf birds.

Ye Zhi frowned and watched for a while, then couldn't help asking Xiao Lin, "Is this still a pas de deux?"

Xiao Lin laughed and said, "That's obviously more attractive than the solo space walk over there, and it's so lively."

Ye Zhi struggled and asked: "After successfully capturing the female bird's heart, how will the sexual rights be distributed?"

"That must be the lead dancer," Xiao Lin said, "The backup dancer can continue to endure, and he will make it through when he becomes the lead dancer."

It turns out that long-tailed pygmy birds are paired with two males, one leader and one wingman. The two birds dance together to attract the attention of the female bird. When dancing, they match each other one by one. But there can be a male bird that walks.

There is such a hierarchical rule in the pygmy bird species, the older male bird has the master, called the host, and the younger one can be the wingman, and when he grows up, he can be the main dancer up.

Ye Zhi was eye-opening when he heard it, it turned out that the bird world is so fashionable, and what humans play is what they play leftovers.

Ye Zhi exclaimed: "Amazing." They stood and watched the two long-tailed pygmy birds dance, and the female bird left with one of the male birds, while the red-capped pygmy bird that walked alone in space was able to return home.

Xiao Lin said: "Bai Tiao, at least there are two of us in the audience."

Ye Zhi gave Xiao Lin a cool look, "But maybe he doesn't care much about it."

Xiaolin: "..."

Kobayashi changed the subject, "Oh, we're going out soon."

Ye Zhi was very happy to hear that, he always felt guilty when he stayed in this park, and he would feel better when he went out.Ye Zhi thought for a while, but he didn't know where he got his guilty conscience and the feeling that he felt confident when he went out. Seeing that Xiao Lin continued to move forward, he followed him without further entanglement. In short, go out first and then talk.

After walking a certain distance without incident, Xiao Lin suddenly sped up his pace in panic.

Ye Zhi looked suspiciously at Xiao Lin who was moving strangely in front of him, "What's wrong with you?" Have you had a stroke?

No wonder Ye Zhi made this guess. Xiao Lin was walking in a straight line, but suddenly he turned half of his body and covered his face with his hands. The walking posture of his legs was awkward but extremely fast. tell him:

"Quick~ let's go~"

"Don't~be~watched~~~"

Ye Zhi: "???"

Although there were still thousands of questions in his mind, Ye Zhi followed Xiao Lin directly, leaving the area first before saying that there was no rush.

However, things backfired, and the two of them were really seen.

Xiaolin: "..."

Ye Zhi stood behind Xiao Lin, seeing the person in front of him suddenly stop, and poked his head to see what was on the road.

I saw a gray pheasant-like free-range chicken in front of me blocking the road.

Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, what else should he have.

He whispered to Xiao Lin, "Don't make such a fuss, no matter how fierce this bird is, I'm still here."

What Ye Zhi said was wrong, no matter what kind of animals, no matter what species, they can be tamed obediently in front of him.

Of course Xiao Lin knew this, but he said: "That's because you have seen the madness of the big-eyed pheasant in courtship."

Ye Zhi took it seriously, "How?"

Xiao Lin lightly said: "That's it." Then he made Ye Zhi out with a sliding step.

Ye Zhi looked up and met the eyes of the big-eyed pheasant.Seeing that the other party started to run with his claws clattering with indomitable determination and fighting spirit, he seemed to be flying as soon as he left, and he was in front of Ye Zhi in a blink of an eye.

The big-eyed pheasant stalked its neck, lowered its head, raised its buttocks, bent its knees, and exploded its long feathers, forming a feather screen around its neck.

Unlike the peacock with its tail open, the big-eyed pheasant opens its tail first, and the peacock's tail is bright and bright, while the big-eyed pheasant's feathers are gray, with alternating gray and white colors forming eye-shaped patterns.

In addition to these comparisons, the temperament of the peacock when it spreads its tail crushes the big-eyed pheasant. Like noble birds and pheasants.

But at this moment, the Big-eyed Spotted Pheasant was in front of Ye Zhi, not as aggressive as if it was opening its tail, but as if it was going to fight.

Ye Zhi silently changed the direction of the station, avoiding the other party's screen-opening courtship.

Thinking that he had turned, the big-eyed pheasant followed suit.

Seeing the other party put away the feather fan quickly, he lowered his head and rushed, facing Ye Zhi's face again.Then he quickly repeated the trick of opening the screen just now, bowed his head and lowered his buttocks, and a gray feather fan opened in front of Ye Zhi in an instant.

Ye Zhi: "..."

Ye Zhi looked at Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin shrugged, "That's it," he continued, "It's very difficult."

Ye Zhi: "...Then what should we do now?"

Xiao Lin thought for a while, "Run, otherwise he can keep driving at you relentlessly."

Ye Zhi's eyes were sad, but he still made a quick decision, "...three, two, one!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Zhi and Xiao Lin rushed out like arrows from the string, and the big-eyed pheasant was stunned for a moment, seeing his courtship partner running away, he immediately closed his feather fan unambiguously, and followed behind like flying.

Ye Zhi ran and said, "How long will it take to get out!"

Kobayashi: "It's almost time this time!" He gasped and said, "Go through this bush, and then..." After finishing speaking, he stared at the group of cockroaches in the bush. By the way, Xiaoyan was stunned.

Xiao Lin stopped blankly, "Yezi, how can you attract peach blossoms so well."

The innocent cue leaf branch: "?"

Ye Zhi was tired from running at this time, he was not a strong one in the first place, he ran so far in one breath, at this moment he couldn't run anymore, he stopped, put his knees on his knees and gasped: "No, I will recruit or not. Peach Blossom put it aside for now, just say that you still fooled me to watch various courtships by feeding birds with your body?" Backbiting so quickly?

Xiao Lin: "Don't blame me."

Ye Zhi: "Huh?" He was about to lose his temper.

The two of them were talking here, and the group of cockatiel birds over there saw someone breaking into their stage, and they immediately moved into action. A group of red birds fluttered their feathers, each bird found its location, and the courtship team was born. , the curtain was there, the dance immediately jumped up, and the typhoon burst.

Seeing that the umbrella birds were slowly encircling themselves, Ye Zhi moved slowly in the other direction calmly, and when he was about to move out, the big-eyed pheasant at the end of the road finally rushed over.

When he saw Ye Zhi from a distance, he was full of fighting spirit, and he rushed to the front of his eyes with all his feathers and blood.

The two waves of courtship birds do not give in to each other, and each of them will do their best to compare each other and win Ye Zhi's heart.

Xiao Lin silently retreated to the side one step at a time, quietly eating melons and watching the show. If he had known that he would not run away just now, how could he have the confidence that the big-eyed spotted pheasant would see Ye Zhi run away and ask for the next best thing to pester him.

But if he doesn't run away, he won't be able to see this wonderful scene, the melon-eating audience Kobayashi said.

Ye Zhi looked at the group of courting birds in boredom, feeling more and more guilty as time passed. He was about to unleash his energy beam to see if he could calm down the excitement of these birds, when he suddenly saw that he was singing to you with great interest. The two waves of birds on our side all died down.

No, it would be more appropriate to say wilted.

And the next moment, Ye Zhi felt something lightly landed on his shoulders, and the long tail feathers hung in front of his body, it was a familiar pink color, and it looked like he had circled his entire body.
