Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Chapter 9 Screech Owl Brooding Plan 9

Some well-meaning person prepared towels for them, rolled them on them, and dried their bodies a lot. The young birds curled up on the towels and gradually stopped trembling.

They are placed on small tables surrounded by a large crowd.

"I heard that this is the red horned owl, a second-class national protected animal!"

"Hurry up and take a photo as a souvenir, this is the material for today's circle of friends!"

Anyway, the red horned owl's appearance is good enough, and it is still cold and paralyzed, which will not affect the image in the slightest.

So Sheng Cun accepted the attention of the group of people calmly, and he didn't care about the flash of the mobile phone. He even had leisure to look for familiar faces in the crowd, enjoying the feeling of being in the crowd that he hadn't seen for a long time.

As pure wild animals, the cubs experienced the despair of social terror for a while. Their eyes widened and their bodies tightened, as if they wanted to disguise themselves as three twigs.

Sheng Cun quietly guarded the cubs behind him. The familiar breath on his body made them relax a little.

"Don't be a group of people here, the red screech owl will have a stress response." A voice came, and the crowd moved aside.

A boy with glasses appeared in front of Shengcun, his eyes focused on the birdcage in his hand.

Ah... I'm very well-behaved, so I'm not so professional... Sheng Cun is a bit timid.

Then, one hand skillfully embraced his wings from behind, and the other pinched his paws. Sheng Cun watched helplessly as he was carried into the cage like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.

The next second, the cubs were also sent in.

It was dark before his eyes, and someone covered the cage with a black cloth, and Sheng Cun only had time to see the panicked eyes of the young birds.

He groped and hugged the three stiff little guys, giving them a sense of security.

"Why did you put a black cloth on the cage?" He heard someone ask.

"Birds are prone to stress reactions when they are exposed to external stimuli. For example, they keep bumping into the cage. Covering them with a layer of black cloth can make them more emotionally stable. But this red-horned owl is so good. When I caught it just now There is no struggle at all, does it know that I am helping it?"

"Maybe, this bird has human nature, and it even snatched my mobile phone, which attracted me to chase it."

"So smart? It seems worth studying."

"By the way, where are you going to send it?"

"A senior in ecology is observing this scopped owl, and we are going to send it to her laboratory."

"Is that so... then can we squat to be dynamic?"

"of course can."

The sound of the rain became clear again, and Sheng Cun squatted in the rickety birdcage, thinking to himself: That senior sister, could it be Ding Yi? I already knew that she was very passionate about animal research. Watching me?

As a former male college student, Sheng Cun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

After walking for more than 10 minutes, Shengcun reckoned that they had arrived at the biology building.

He felt the boy carrying the birdcage stop for a moment, probably swiping his card to enter the door, and then he went up to the second floor.

The birdcage was placed on the table, the black cloth on it was uncovered, and Sheng Cun's white lab coat dangled in front of his eyes.

"So there are three young birds in the tree hole, but they look so thin." Ding Yi's familiar face appeared in front of the cage.

"Don't get too close, they need to adapt to the new environment." Next to her was a girl with her hair curled up and looking very capable. The voice was the one who was under the tree with Ding Yi that day.

"Senior sister, the situation of the baby bird looks very bad, it's listless."

"According to the boys, they have been soaked in water for at least 20 minutes. Once the young birds get wet, it is difficult to maintain a normal body temperature. We have to dry them first."

The girl took two hair dryers, "Male birds may be more difficult to control, I will do it, you go blow the young birds, don't grab them too hard, and be careful not to be scratched by them."

"Roger that!"

The sound of the hair dryer sounded, and Shengcun's paws were held again, his posture was quite awkward, but he spread his wings very cooperatively, enjoying the long-lost technological service.

His eyes were always focused on the young birds, but fortunately, they must have been damaged by the freezing, and instinctively liked this warm thing, and they looked very well-behaved.

Soon, the wet feathers on their bodies became dry and fluffy again, and Shengcun finally felt a burst of warmth.

There was some movement from the cub's direction, and the long johns recovered the fastest, with their mouths wide open and they began to beg for food.

"Almost, put them in the box."

Shengcun watched as the three cubs were put into a small box covered with cotton batting and tightly surrounded by dry towels. The box was opaque, leaving only a small hole.

Shengcun saw that the eyes of the cubs in the small hole were shining, and they looked around curiously, as if they were very satisfied with the new nest.

It seems safe.He breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, why don't we put the male bird in too?" Ding Yi asked.

"I'm also afraid that if the stress response of the adult bird is too strong, it may accidentally injure the young bird. Let's observe for a while before we talk."

"So that's how it is." Ding Yi looked thoughtfully at the chicks' open mouths, "By the way, I'll go get them something to eat."

Then... Sheng Cun was dumbfounded as he watched her bring in a box of mealworms.

"Borrowed from the laboratory next door that studies two crawls. Birds should be able to eat it too."

"It shouldn't be a big problem, let's try."

Sheng Cun was dumbfounded once again watching the cubs devouring their food.

Why don't you have such an expression of enjoyment when you eat the prey I have worked so hard to catch? Hey, is the food from other people's home more delicious? !He flapped his wings angrily.

"You can't eat it. Adult birds eat too much. We don't have that many mealworms in stock." Ding Yi stared at him and said seriously.

Sheng Cun: "?"

So do you have the heart to watch me starve?He is very dissatisfied.

"A grown bird eats this."

Ding Yi took out a box from behind, which was fresh, just killed...Xiaoqiang...

Sheng Cun couldn't help retching.

"Where did you get it?" The girl on the side couldn't help laughing.

"When I got the news of the red screech owl just now, I thought that when I dissected the food pills, most of them were cockroaches. I thought they should like to eat this, so I quickly asked someone to collect a few. In Hainan, bugs are easy to find. "

Ding Yi chuckled and pushed the box into the cage, "Look at how happy it is!"

Shengcun: Is there anything more terrifying than when you are hungry and there is a dark dish in front of you?

He turned his head aside, as a red screech owl with a backbone, I don't want to eat what I've been given!

"Is it not eating? What should I do? The next batch of mealworms will arrive in 2 days..."

Ding also talked to himself worriedly.

two days...

Sheng Cun gritted his teeth and touched Kongkong's belly, looking at the things in the box.

The stomach belonging to the screech owl makes a call for food.

Ah, the food is so delicious!

Sheng Cun gritted his teeth and scored twice.
