Li Youran wandered aimlessly in the market. The market for flowers, birds, fish and insects is really prosperous now, and there are many kinds of shops operating. Almost anything you can think of can be found here.
There is a saying that life is better now than in the past, but the feelings between people are getting weaker and weaker, especially in apartment buildings, where everyone lives behind closed doors and doesn’t even know the names of their neighbors or what they do.
In this case, keeping pets is also a way for many people to express their emotions.
Li Youran walked around with great interest. Unknowingly, he had left the ornamental fish market and arrived at the flower and bird market complex, which mainly sold potted plants, fresh flowers, and various birds.
There are so many species in the Bird City Comprehensive Area, such as parrots, thrushes, orioles, larks, white-eyed birds, etc., all in various shapes and poses. The various chirps are pleasant and pleasant, making people feel relaxed and happy.
While Li Youran was admiring several cute budgerigars with bright feathers, he suddenly heard a slightly rough voice coming from the side.
"Hey, hello, Gong Xi Fa Cai. Hello. Gong Xi Fa Cai, hello." Li Youran turned around and saw that there was no one next to him. Who was talking?
"Hey, I wish you good luck, hello." Another voice came out.
Li Youran saw clearly this time, and saw a bamboo birdcage hanging in front of an ornamental bird shop. In the cage was a bird with black feathers and a yellow beak, more than 20 centimeters tall, and it was imitating human speech with great airs.
Haha, it’s interesting. I asked why the sound was weird. It turned out to be a bird. Li Youran couldn’t help but smile.
When the bird saw that someone was paying attention to it, it was not frightened and said what it just said twice.
At this time, a man with rosacea came out of the store and fed the black bird.
"Boss, what kind of bird is this?" Li Youran asked curiously.
"Oh, this is Brother Yu." The boss replied while feeding.
Brother Yu, I have heard of this kind of bird before. It has a clever tongue and can imitate people's speech, but I have never seen it before.
"The speech is very clear, but a little rough." Li Youran praised.
"Haha, he is already one year old and has only learned two sentences. His voice is a little rough because I taught him and he followed it," the shop owner said with a smile.
"Boss, does this bird only have black ones?" Li Youran asked. He thought it was good that this bird could talk, but it was not as bright and beautiful as a parrot or the like.
"Little brother, the bird is not a black bird. If you take a closer look, its head, upper back and chest are purple, its lower back, waist and tail coverts are dark blue, the base of its bill is orange-red, and the tip is bright yellow.
foot,
The toes are also bright yellow. So you can't say it is a black bird. And if you look at the yellow wattles on both sides of the back of its head, they are very small and represent a sign of intelligence. The head is large and round. This is a bird.
Male bird." The store owner explained to Li Youran carefully and professionally.
Li Youran took a closer look and saw that it seemed like that.
In fact, although Ge Ge looks black on the whole, his body curves are still very smooth, and his feathers are also shiny, which makes him more pleasing to the eye. This is very different from crows and the like.
"This bird brother is the most intelligent among birds. Not only can he imitate human speech, but he can also imitate the calls of other birds. Some of them are so powerful that he can even imitate the sounds of dogs barking and passing trains." The shop owner looked like this.
I love this talking animal so much.
Okay, because it can talk, it is very different from other animals. It would be fun to buy one and play with it. If you can train it, maybe you can get it into a space to keep company with Ao Nang. I don’t know if it can learn Ao Nang.
What kind of situation would it be if you screamed? It must be very interesting.
I just don't know if this guy can talk about vegetables and fruits. This needs to be carefully investigated to avoid trouble if a saboteur comes in.
After making up his mind, Li Youran asked the shop owner for a price.
"Little brother, if you really like it, I'll give you a fixed price. I'll take it away for 800 yuan, including the cage, water can, and food can." The store owner offered a fixed price.
The price was not expensive, and Li Youran didn't bother to bargain. He took out eight red bills from his wallet and handed them to the shop owner.
The owner of the store was very happy to see this young man being so cheerful. He quickly took the bird cage off the hook and even offered a few packs of special compound pellet feed for Brother Ge.
Li Youran walked out of the bird market carrying the bird cage covered with black cloth and went straight to the parking lot.
When he returned to Baozi Shop, it was already noon. He put the birdcage on the desk in the room, took off the black cloth, then went downstairs to the kitchen to get some food and took it back to the room.
He teased the little guy while eating.
"Speak, speak."
When Brother Yu arrived in the new environment, he felt a little acquainted with the situation. He squatted on the perch with his neck curled up, shut up and said nothing. His little eyes were narrowed, and he seemed to be contemptuous of the other party.
This guy is so arrogant and has a way to make you open your mouth. Li Youran thought.
After he finished eating, he took the bowl to the bathroom and washed it. Then he came back with some yeast pancakes.
When he came to the birdcage, he broke off some dough and threw it into the food bowl in the cage.
This caught Brother Ge's attention, and he slowly put his head over to smell it, then opened his eyes, pecked it quickly, and swallowed it in his mouth.
Haha, it seems to have worked. The special dough pancakes are really good for animals of all sizes.
Li Youran put his index finger into the birdcage, and with a thought, there was a soft hiss, and a stream of crystal water shot into the water bowl.
Brother Ji had just tasted the sweetness and thought it was good, so he moved on the perch, stretched his head, took a sip from the water bowl, raised his neck and drank.
I saw it's eyes widened, and it drank a few more mouthfuls of water, then flapped its wings and chirped twice, seeming to be in a very happy mood.
Okay, it's time. Li Youran broke off another small piece of noodle cake and waved it in front of Brother An's eyes. Brother An was attracted, staring at the noodle cake, and moved his body this way.
"Talk, if you don't talk, you won't be fed. Hello, Gong Xi Fa Cai is leisurely teasing Brother Yu.
"Hey, congratulations on getting rich. Hey, hello." Brother An finally succumbed to the temptation of delicious food and shouted in a rough voice.
Hahaha, Li Youran became happy.
"Chirp, congratulations on getting rich." Seeing that the other party didn't feed him, Ge Ge was a little anxious and called out again.
Putting the dough cake into the bowl, Brother An quickly opened his mouth and swallowed it, then looked at Li Youran, as if he still had something to say.
"What's the sound?" The door was ajar. Sun Xiaoying heard a movement as she passed by, and the sound was so strange. She knocked on the door twice, then opened the door and came in to take a look.
I saw a big birdcage on the table, and Li Youran was sitting on a chair, playing with the black bird inside.
Her curiosity aroused and she walked over to take a look.
"Brother Youran, what kind of bird is this? Why is it so dark?" Sun Xiaoying didn't seem to like this new little guy very much.
"Oh, it's Xiaoying. Look carefully, it's not that black. And the birds don't look alike." Li Youran quickly explained when he saw that the little girl had the same problem as him.
Brother Yu in the cage seemed a little nervous when he saw a stranger coming in and stopped talking.
"Speak, speak." Li Youran urged.
"Brother Youran, you are so funny, how can it talk?" Sun Xiaoying thought that Brother Youran was deliberately making her happy, and couldn't help laughing.
Li Youran urged him several times. Seeing that there was no bird food, Brother Fan turned his head to one side and ignored him, as if he didn't want to work without being paid.
Li Youran had no choice but to release food again to trigger You's ultimate move.
So "Hello, I wish you good luck. Chirp. Hello, I wish you good luck."
As expected, Brother Yu started to perform actively.
Sun Xiaoying's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't expect that this ugly black bird could really talk, and it sounded clear.
"Haha, have you seen it? Let's talk now. Let me tell you, this bird is called Ge Ge, and it is the smartest among all the birds in the world." Li Youran suddenly became proud again, and he went on to tell the bird seller that
Please explain and retell it with Sun Xiaoying.
"Interesting, really fun." Sun Xiaoying looked at Brother An carefully, and Brother An also tilted his head and looked at her. Sun Xiaoying felt that this bird was much more pleasing to the eye than before. At least the color of the yellow beak and yellow talons was very nice.
The body shape is also very beautiful.
"It's just that the voice is a bit rough. Does it have a cold and inflammation? Do you need to give it some medicine?" Sun Xiaoying was not satisfied with Brother An's voice.
"Hehehe, you can really figure out why you have a cold. Xiaoying, this brother learned it from the shop owner. The shop owner has a big rosy nose and a thin throat. I will teach him well in the future.
It slowly learned my voice and it sounds absolutely nice." Li Youran explained.
"Hehe, but brother Youran, your voice isn't much better either." Sun Xiaoying said with a smile.
"Nonsense, Lou is at the level of a standard announcer, the kind with magnets. He doesn't know his stuff." Li Youran lowered his face and said.
Sun Xiaoying didn't care about the other party's criticism. Her attention was focused on Brother Yu at this time.
Then he imitated Li Youran, feeding him, teasing him, and then flapped his wings a few times and said the words several times in succession.
Its lively appearance made Sun Xiaoying giggle.
"This is Brother Yi. Well, let's call him Liao Liao. Isn't that right? Liao Liao."
Well, when he heard this, Li Youran secretly exclaimed that something was wrong, Brother Yu was about to change his master.
As expected, the little girl then said: "Brother Youran, let me play with Liao Liao for a few days and teach it to talk. It's too little for it to say something like this now."
What else could Li Youran say, so he could only nod his head in agreement. Angang should suffer a little injustice first. Anyway, he was used to being alone for so many years. But he didn't know how old that guy was, a hundred or five hundred years old?
"Well, I will teach it well. Can it sing?" Sun Xiaoying asked with interest.
"Then it depends on your ability." Li Youran said with a smile.
Next, he told Sun Xiaoying some common sense about raising birds, such as the cleaning of bird droppings, the use of dung trays in bird cages, the use of water cans and food cans, and that Brother Ge likes to take a bath, so he should get one every two days
Let it swim in a shallow basin, which is good for its health.
In addition, Ge Ge should not be exposed to people who speak rudely. If he learns a few swear words, it will be difficult to change them.
As for the bird feed given by the store owner, Li Youran decided to throw it away. If Liao Liao always uses space water for drinking water, it may improve Brother Fan's IQ, and maybe he can learn to speak more words. (To be continued.!
