Many viewers were stunned and didn't quite believe it.
"Really or not, Xiaoliang won't be wrong, right?"
"You dare to call it a butcher, so it must be very aggressive. I haven't seen it attack two players!"
"This is obviously a thief who came to steal dried fish. He has nothing to do with the butcher, right?"
"Before you doubt Xiao Liang, think about whether he said he missed it."
"Xiao Liang should be right, then listen to what he says."
"Yes, Xiaoliang's popular science is all well-founded and must be correct."
In the live broadcast room, some viewers expressed doubts.
In fact, it's not that they don't trust Xiaoliang, it's just that they think such a little bird, how can he be called a butcher?
"It seems that many viewers don't believe it."
"Let me explain the shrike's name. The original Latin meaning of its genus name lanius is "butcher"."
"Of course, its size and attack power prove that it is not a raptor."
"So why does it have such a bad reputation?"
Xiaoliang said with a smile.
The audience's appetite has been whetted by him.
Xiao Liang's explanation next made everyone suddenly realize.
"The scene just now may not be clearly visible."
"I'll find a big, clear picture for everyone to see."
"Look, this shrike has a long black zone around its eyes, as if it's wearing an eyepatch, which fits its ferocious temperament."
"Look at its beak. There are hooks and notches at the tip, almost like an eagle's beak!"
"Its main food is some insects, lizards, frogs, mice, and other small birds. The most important thing is that after the shrike catches its prey, it likes to pierce the prey and hang it on branches or wires!"
"This is the fundamental reason why it has the reputation of being a butcher!"
Xiaoliang said.
Many animals in nature have the habit of storing food.
Everyone knew this, but they didn't expect that Shrike not only wanted to store food, but also whipped corpses!
Good guy, it's just like a spider that wraps its prey in cobwebs to death and then enjoys it. It's the same principle.
Shrikes impale their prey and hang it for storage!
"Even if a male shrike stores more prey, its courtship success rate will increase."
"This is easier to understand. When talking about a partner, if the man directly shows off his huge savings, the success rate will naturally increase."
"Hahahahaha!"
Xiao Liang couldn't help but laugh at the end.
Since ancient times, most humans and other creatures have been like this.
You have to be rich to get your ideal spouse.
There is no concept of money in the animal world, so the competition is about the food you store, or how good-looking you are (a peacock spreads its tail to court a mate).
Through Xiaoliang's explanation, the audience was more interested.
Many people have already searched the Internet themselves, and Xiaoliang is really right.
As expected of Xiaoliang!
But at this time, how could the Yuyu team care about the species of this bird?
They took all the dried fish hanging under the eaves back into the house and closed the doors and windows.
Kristofsky was still cursing, while Tompkin counted the losses this time.
In fact, the damage was not much, but some dried fish were incomplete.
Part of the fish meat was pecked by the shrike.
"Fortunately, we didn't lose much."
"It's definitely not safe to leave food outdoors. This time it's a good time to remember."
Tompkin said.
"That damn bird, I'm going to kill it!"
Kristofsky just wants revenge now.
This bird is so wild!
They were standing here, daring to come and steal food openly, and even pooped on them before leaving, humiliating them both!
We must find a way to punish!
Seeing that his teammates were so angry, Tompkin had no choice but to spread his hands.
"If it doesn't work, then try catching birds."
"I'm tired of eating fish every day. Let's catch birds and eat their meat!"
Tompkin said.
When he said this, Kristofsky's eyes suddenly lit up.
yes!
Catching birds!
After hearing their conversation, many viewers became excited.
When it comes to bird hunting, many people actually did it when they were children because it is really fun.
Get a basket or basin, prop it up with a wooden stick tied with a rope, scatter some rice on the ground, and wait for the birds to eat the rice.
Then when you pull the rope, the basin will snap down and the bird will be trapped inside.
This requires a certain amount of patience, and is actually similar to fishing.
You have to wait for the fish to eat the bait and the birds to eat the rice. The length of this process depends on luck.
And he also needs to have sharp eyesight and quick hands.
When a fish bites the hook, you must quickly reel in the line and pull the fish ashore.
When a bird eats rice, you have to pull the rope quickly to catch the bird.
Of course, most of the bird meat eaten by the contestants on the island was obtained by picking up carcasses after heavy rains.
There are also players with bows and arrows who can shoot birds in the trees.
Among them, Yang Qingqing has the highest success rate.
Who makes people become archery world champions?
"Just do it, catch birds!"
"Use this fish as bait!"
Kristofsky did what he said. He picked out a dried fish that had been pecked the most and used it as bait.
Just use vines to replace the rope, and don't worry about wooden sticks, they are everywhere.
The only thing missing is a basin.
Of course, you can also use a bamboo basket or a pot instead.
But the pot distributed by the program crew was obviously inappropriate.
Because the show crew’s pot has two handles!
In this case, it will not be completely consistent with the ground, but will be very unstable and unable to trap the birds.
You can't destroy the handle of the pot.
"You have to get something similar to a pot."
"Make one out of tree branches!"
Kristofsky was now full of motivation. He had made up his mind that if he caught the bird just now, he would kill it severely and then eat it.
The two began to get busy, making a hollow semi-enclosed cylinder out of tree branches.
The size is based on the size of the pot in the program group, and it is easy to make.
In less than half an hour, a branch pot was formed.
"Okay, it's quite heavy."
"The bird is trapped inside, and it can't be opened!"
Kristofsky was very satisfied, and Tompkin also thought it was good.
Then, the two set up a simple trap, threw the dried fish on the ground, and waited.
The two of them squatted at the door of the wooden house. Kristofsky held a vine in his hand. Whenever a bird came, he would pull the rope and catch the bird.
The two fell into a tense wait, and the audience watched with great interest.
It feels like you are hunting birds!
Looking forward to it!
"Bird, bird, come on, come on, there is something delicious here!"
"Hahaha, why do you feel like you are trying to trick a little girl with a lollipop?"
"You are not alone, I feel the same way!"
"That shrike just now probably won't come again. This trap is too obvious."
"Please, it's obvious to humans, but birds may not necessarily feel it's dangerous."
"Among animals, there are also smart and stupid ones. For example, I have seven cats at home. Some are very stupid and some are very cunning."
"Stop arguing! You keep talking, how dare the birds come over?"
"Good guy, you are completely addicted, you are too deep into the drama!"
The audience was chatting happily and kept waiting and watching the live broadcast.
Almost half an hour later, a bird appeared in the picture!
