Chapter 157 154: Bird Catching

Mi Xiaoqing laughed and asked: "Boss, are the reserve troops you are talking about A Ying and the others?"

Wang Tianxiao said: "It's not impossible to let a few dogs do this kind of thing, but they are overqualified and underused. Think about it, what else can be used?"

"Ah, I know, it's A-Zhen and A-Qiang."

Wang Tianxiao nodded: "Yes, if we leave two good bird-catching hands unused, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?"

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone nodded.

Everyone has been in the forest farm for a while and is very familiar with the small animals in the forest farm.

Especially the three dogs, they are all very familiar with each other.

But the two ocelots, who were the most familiar with Wang Tianxiao, did not know what kind of ecstasy drug Liu Yuan gave them, which made the ocelots, who had always been relatively indifferent, begin to like him.

Basically reaching the same status as Wang Tianxiao.

You must know that Wang Tianxiao is their savior, raising them from the size of a child's fist. It can only be said that Liu Yuan is indeed very good at small animals.

Just do it.

After eating at noon, when they went to the field again, Wang Tianxiao asked Liu Yuan to take Azhen and Aqiang to the edge of the field.

The others continued to work, and he and Liu Yuan were responsible for the task of catching birds.

In order to make it easier for the birds to take the bait, Wang Tianxiao specially sowed double the seeds in each place where the net was laid to increase the attractiveness of the trap.

The two ocelots were placed in a cage made by Liu Yuan. They had not been to the mountains for a long time, and they were a little unfamiliar with the environment at first and seemed very nervous.

But when a magpie landed on the net, the two little guys immediately pricked up their ears, their eyes erected into a thin slit, their buttocks sank very low, and they swayed slightly from side to side.

Anyone who is familiar with cats hunting for food knows that this is their preparatory action.

It's like an arrow on the bowstring, ready to be shot at any moment.

Wang Tianxiao patted the cage gently, signaling the two little guys not to worry yet, as it was not time to attack yet.

Birds all follow their flocks. There is no danger if a bird falls on the net, and other birds will come after it, and the number will slowly increase almost exponentially.

Sure enough, slowly there are more and more birds on the Internet, and the types are becoming more and more abundant.

In addition to the winter cuckoo mentioned earlier, there are mainly blackbirds, crows, sparrows and wild pigeons.

There are also a few small larks, but the number is quite small and can almost be ignored.

Needless to say, everyone knows it.

Wild pigeon is a common name. Wang Tianxiao still doesn't know whether this kind of bird is a domestic pigeon. They look like domestic pigeons, but they are gray in color and smaller than ordinary domestic pigeons.

Wang Tianxiao had seen his colleagues raising such wild pigeons in the mountains before. They were raised just like domestic pigeons. It is said that they can mate with domestic pigeons, and the little pigeons that hatch out of their eggs are no different from other pigeons.

It tastes very delicious and is a great tonic when boiled into soup.

Many people can't tell the difference between a blackbird and a crow, but they are actually two different birds.

It seems that the two birds have similar names and look very similar, but in fact they are not only not the same type of bird, but also have almost no relationship.

Crows belong to the genus Corvidae, while blackbirds belong to the genus Thrashidae.

The crow is slightly larger than the blackbird, and the appearance of the two is slightly similar. Both are black or black, with occasional bits of white mixed in.

However, the blackbird's body has more of a graceful streamlined feel, while the crow's body looks very stiff, as if it is a crudely made thing.

The blackbird's beak is yellow, while the crow's beak is black, so the blackbird looks much better than the crow.

In addition, the call of the blackbird is also very sweet and melodious, comparable to that of the thrush and oriole, but the call of the crow is very shrill, just like that of a duck, which makes people very uncomfortable.

The eating habits of the two birds are also different.

Although blackbirds also eat some small insects, they mainly eat seeds and grain fruits, while crows mainly eat carrion. They will only look for seeds or fruits to eat unless it is difficult to find food in winter.

The magpie is a bird that has been a symbol of good luck since ancient times.

People in Qingcheng generally believe that if the magpies chirp loudly in the trees, it means there is a guest at home.

Therefore, the image of magpie often appears in different auspicious patterns.

But magpies and crows are actually close relatives.

Both of these birds belong to different subspecies of the Corvidae family.

Moreover, the magpie is not as peaceful as imagined. It is actually a bird with a worse temper than a crow.

Because it prefers to eat meat, its main food is insects and small frogs. If food is tight, it will also eat some fruits and seeds.

But many times, this guy will steal the eggs of other birds, even baby birds.

It's not a good thing anyway.

Some time ago, Wang Tianxiao was still thinking about how to cultivate the ocelot's hunting ability. This is just the time. Birds are already an important part of their food chain.

Before I knew it, the Internet was already full of birds, and I estimated there were at least seventy or eighty of them.

When many birds first landed on the net, they looked around, alert, and ate cautiously, fearing that it was a trap. But slowly they found that they were surrounded by the same kind of birds, and they were all eating enthusiastically, so they relaxed their vigilance and gradually immersed themselves in their suffering.

eat.

Little did they know, the hunter had been observing them for a long time.

"Uncle Liu, get ready to let go."

The two people's eyes met and they slowly opened the cage. The two ocelots had been gearing up for a long time, and they could no longer suppress the hunting spirit in their hearts. The moment the door opened, they were like wild horses that had escaped the reins, rushing toward the bird.

.

Cats cannot run very fast because they have small pads under their feet, so there is no sound of footsteps. By the time the birds find out, they have already jumped into the net.

"Wow!"

The birds were frightened and flapped their wings in panic, trying to fly into the air.

However, in this panic, the net was pulled out of shape in an instant. Except for a small number of birds that flew away immediately, 70 to 80% of the birds just struggled in place, fluttering their wings in vain, and could not escape at all.

open.

The same problem also occurred with the two cats.

They ran quite fast at first, but as the birds struggled in panic, the net deformed and even caught them running at high speed.

They were so angry that they turned around and bit the net desperately, trying to get out.

But this kind of net is very easy for people to bite off, but the cat's teeth lack the key locking ability, so they just grinned with anger and panted from exhaustion, but it still had no effect for a long time.

In the end, they lay helplessly on the net, angrily staring at the birds that were struggling like them.

I guess I was very depressed. I failed to catch the bird, so I was trapped here, losing the cat and losing my fortune.

Wang Tianxiao saw that the dust on the net had basically settled, and then he slowly walked over, unpacking the wild pigeons and winter cuckoos and putting them into the snakeskin bag that he had originally prepared.

Both of these birds can be eaten by humans and taste very good.

Whether roasted or stir-fried, it is a tonic.

As for the remaining birds, he had no interest at all and simply released the two ocelots to let them practice their hunting abilities.

Although these birds are not big in size, they have very bad tempers. If you pick them without wearing protective gloves, you will definitely be pecked.

Crows and magpies both like to eat carrion, and there are no known viruses on their bodies. It is still dangerous if they are pecked by them.

Anyway, these birds will become the food of ocelots and badgers, so it doesn't matter.

Nature has its own ability to restrain and cope with each other.

With this wave of hunting, Wang Tianxiao knew that no birds would fly over for the time being.

Those birds that escaped have a family, and they will definitely spread the news and warn other birds in the family of the danger, telling everyone not to die for food.

Wang Tianxiao looked at the snakeskin bag that was only half full, and then went to the next net with Liu Yuan and the two cats.

After about two hours, I also gained a lot.

I directly threw two crows to the ocelot. The two little guys didn't know how to eat at first, but as they played, the wild nature inherited in the family was released.

Soon, a crow becomes their delicacy.

Make them officially open to meat.

In order for such wild animals to have the ability to hunt, the prerequisite is not only that they have hunting skills, but more importantly, that they must be full of desire and fighting spirit to hunt.

Wild animals that have been raised in greenhouses cannot be called wild animals at all.

It is not until one day that they can catch prey by their own abilities and enjoy the joy that they will truly understand what hunting means and what they can gain.

It was getting late, the sun was setting in the western mountains of Yangziling, and several people working in the fields had also returned.

They were also very surprised to see Wang Tianxiao's harvest.

They all lamented that they no longer had to worry about these broken birds becoming thieves again.

"Well, not only do we not have to worry about them, but we also have an extra bag of food." Wang Tianxiao shook the bag in his hand, which was almost full.
