Chapter 127 Live Popular Science
In the miserable cry of the horned owl, insert the thermometer into its excretory hole.

The horned owl was struggling violently, but it was held firmly and could not move at all.

Qi Ming passed on his comforting emotions, while comforting indiscriminately: "It's okay, life is like this, if you can't resist, just try to enjoy it, it's not bad to try this novel trick once in a while..."

Eagle Owl: ...

"Principal." Xiao Zhang couldn't help but speak.

"what happened?"

"You are so rude."

Qi Ming has black lines on his face, who are you talking about!

After more than 30 seconds, Xiao Zhang took out the thermometer and glanced at it: "39 degrees 4!"

The normal body temperature of birds is generally 39-42 degrees, which is higher than that of mammals. This body temperature is considered normal.

If the body temperature is normal, various inspections can be carried out, mainly to see that the feathers and wings are not injured.

After checking carefully and confirming that there was nothing serious, Qi Ming took it to the cage where Dahei was staying before.

At this time, the cage where Dahei stayed before had already set up the perches, and two tables were placed on the two corners of the inside. a tree stump.

Very simple, but enough.

Qi Ming put the eagle owl on the perch, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's live here first! Are you hungry? Can I feed you something?"

Then he called Xiao Bao: "Hey, Lao Gao? You can cut some beef, I can use it now, and bring it to the cage where Dahei stayed before... It doesn't need too much, seven or eight yuan, cut into two Three centimeters wide will do."

The eagle owl's big round yellow eyes silently stared at Qi Ming, watching him make a phone call.

I feel that Qi Ming is a good person!

Flying into the school to hide from the rain before, I met so many scary and noisy two-legged apes, but it was frightened, thinking that I was going to be eaten.

Seeing that Qi Ming took it away from the dangerous environment without hurting it, and spoke softly, he should be a good person.

Although the thinking ability of animals is not as complicated as that of humans, except for insects, most animals still have a basic judgment of good and bad.

What makes you feel comfortable and safe is good, what makes you feel dangerous and uncomfortable is bad!

So what many animals in the zoo hate most is seeing a veterinarian, even if the veterinarian is for their own good.

Depending on how you feel, react differently.

The horned owl's attitude towards Qi Ming at this moment is somewhere between alert and ordinary!
The distance was less than two meters, and the body did not swell. He tapped his beak as a demonstration, treating him as an enemy, but the ear feathers were still erect, indicating that he was still a little nervous.

This goodwill is not enough to make him completely let go of his guard.

When Lao Gao brought the beef, Qi Ming put the food bowl and a water bowl on the ground, put some physiological saline in the water bowl, turned off the light and went out.

After going through such a morning, surrounded by students and undergoing a physical examination, although Eagle Owl was not injured, he must be quite tired. Let him rest alone in this quiet and safe environment to recover his spirit.

And it's time for lunch too!I have been busy for so long and haven't eaten yet.

……

After lunch, Qi Ming took a nap to refresh himself, and Qi Ming called Xiaoli over to start the live broadcast.

After Lu Xue's last live broadcast went well, Jiajia Zoo also registered its own account on the live broadcast platform.

I don’t know why the rain stops. Anyway, when the rain is over, we have to let the eagle owl go. This is a rare opportunity. I can tell netizens about owls, and by the way, popularize science on what to pay attention to when rescuing birds.

The live broadcast started, and netizens soon entered the live broadcast room one after another!

"Come on, come on!"

"Today I am the first!"

"Grandpa, the anchor you follow is on the air again!"

"The principal loves you!"

Qi Ming smiled and said, "Hey, I love you too! You are all my angels!"

"Disgusting disgusting!"

"Don't look at the principal, but look at the assistant!"

Some netizens noticed the rain falling under the gloomy sky outside the window behind him, and they were a little surprised: "Hey, it's raining over there, Director!"

"Heavy rain is what I hate the most. Every time I come back from the outside, I have to fill my shoes with water. My body is also wet, and I may catch a cold."

"The heavy rain is okay, and it will pass after it falls. The kind of continuous rain that lasts for several months is the most uncomfortable. There will be mold everywhere in the house, and the clothes will not dry."

"It's raining so hard, are the animals still outside?"

"Yeah, what's the live broadcast in this kind of weather?" Netizens reacted with some doubts.

Qi Ming smiled and said, "I don't know if you have ever seen an owl before?"

"Owl?" Netizens became excited.

"Although I haven't seen it, I've seen the video of stroking an owl, and I really like it!"

"Yes, yes, it's soft and cute, super cute! I really want to raise one."

"Did the zoo introduce owls this time?"

"I've always wanted to go to an owl cafe in Japan."

"Am I the only one who hates owls? I've heard its cry at night, it's very creepy."

"First of all, I would like to remind everyone that all owls are nationally protected animals, and personal breeding is illegal! Moreover, owls are not suitable for keeping as pets. Don't just think about getting one because you think it's cute."

After reminding Qi Ming, he explained: "We didn't introduce owls, but we rescued one today. There was a horned owl that ran to the school to avoid the rain, and we brought it back to the zoo. We will show you to see it later."

"Eagle owl, what is an eagle owl?"

"Owl is the general term for birds of the Owl-shaped order. There are many species below, such as collared scops owl, red scops owl, snowy owl, horned owl, gray forest owl, etc. The horned owl is the larger one among owls, with a body length of It can be half a meter!"

"Since they are all rescued, why don't they keep raising them?"

"Yes, yes, I still wonder if I can see it when I go next time."

"Unless it is an animal that is injured and disabled, it will definitely not survive in the wild. Generally speaking, we just carry out a rescue, and after the rescue, we will release it where it came from.

However, there are also a few animals that are endangered in the wild. The zoo will keep them and breed them artificially to make their populations grow. For example, giant pandas will be gradually released into the wild when they grow to a certain level. "

Including tigers too!

Except for the most miserable South China tiger, the number of tigers breeding in zoos is already very large, but there are indeed many problems in the release of tigers into the wild.Even if it can help the forest ecology to be healthier, and tigers usually hide from people in the wild, the public is definitely not willing to hear it, at least most of them are not, so they can only stay in the zoo.

Qi Ming picked up a bowl containing meat from the table, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's feed the eagle owl some meat. I already fed it some meat when I brought it back today, but I'm afraid that it will eat some meat once it's hungry. Eating too much is not good for your health, so feed it in small amounts and multiple times."

Come to the cage where Dahei stayed before!

Turn on the light, and the situation in the room can be seen clearly immediately.

A tawny horned owl, plump and round like a ball, stood on a perch.

Seeing someone coming in, the ear feathers stood up, eyes blinked, and the big yellow eyes were vigilantly looking at the coming person!

Qi Ming said softly, "Here, this is the horned owl we rescued."

"Wow, why are you so fat!"

Qi Ming smiled and said: "It's not fat, it's just that it is squatting now, and the feathers on its body are relatively fluffy. It looks like a person wearing a thick down jacket and thick woolen pants in winter. The visual effect looks fatter. In fact, its body Very light."

A raccoon is really fat when it becomes a ball, and an owl is puffy!
After walking a few steps forward, the horned owl suddenly bent down, its eyes were piercing, and it assumed the posture of an old hen guarding against an eagle.
The body slowly swayed from side to side, ta da!Tap!

It kept tapping its beak, making a loud sound, and scolding the street like an eagle owl: Don't mess with me, I'm super fierce!
There is a wonderful contrast between the fierce posture and the dull big round eyes. Netizens froze for a moment and were all amused.

"Hahahaha, it looks so dumb!"

"The owl is on!"

"Horn Bird Bow Leader!"

"I recognize this, it's a puffer fish!"

"Swearing."

"It's really a bit like swearing! My dad has this expression when he scolds me, but he usually holds a belt or something in his hand."

"This way of demonstration is really interesting!"

After a while, the eagle owl gradually became discouraged when he saw that Qi Ming didn't move much, and his body shrank a lot.

Because I stood up during the demonstration, and after shrinking, I am not as round as when I was squatting before. It seems that I have changed from a big fat man of three or four hundred catties to a healthy guy of 150 catties.

?v?
The eyes widened in a daze, which perfectly explained what it means to be dumbstruck!

If it wasn't for the occasional slight turning of the head, people who didn't know would think it was a toy.

"Look straight at me, bastard!"

"Haha, the wise eyes, the style of painting is gradually becoming sand sculpted."

"The big eyes are like fake eyes put on."

Qi Ming said with a smile: "Is it boring to look at? The main reason is that the big eyes of owls are fixed to the front and cannot be turned. They mainly turn their heads to see things in different directions. We can turn our heads up to 180 degrees left and right. If you turn the neck again, it will be broken, but the owl's neck can be rotated freely 270 degrees, and in this way, a wider field of vision can be obtained."

Using tweezers, he picked up a five centimeter long and three centimeter wide strip of fresh beef from the bowl, and handed it to the horned owl's mouth.

The eagle owl tilted its head slightly, looked sideways at Qi Ming, looked a little hesitant, but stretched its head forward unknowingly.

Open your beak and bite!
The curved upper beak tip is like a sharp hook, hooking the meat firmly.

The lower beak was moving, and the strips of meat disappeared into the mouth little by little, while nodding his head and blinking his eyes to assist swallowing, as if saying it was delicious!
"Wow, a ruthless meat-eating machine!"

"It's delicious, I look delicious!"

"This is fed beef, so happy."

After eating a piece, his head was tilted 60 degrees, and the big bright eyes on one side blinked.

It seems to be saying, is there any meat?How about another piece?

"Haha, so cute!"

"Mama, it wink at me!"

So Qi Ming took another piece of meat and fed it.

While eating the meat, the horned owl's ear feathers drooped little by little and stuck to its head.

Netizens were shocked: "The ears are gone!"

"Why are you suddenly bald!"

"It's like two chickens!"

Qi Ming glanced at the barrage, and explained: "These are actually not its ears, but the ear feather clusters, which will be put down when the mood is relaxed, some of the ear feather clusters are some owls, some are not.

Their ears, to be precise, are close to the eyes, and the feathers can only be seen.Because the owl's eyes are so big, you can even see the inside of the eyeball directly from the ear through the thin layer in the middle. "

"Damn, it's inexplicably scary!"

"This picture is so beautiful that I dare not imagine it."

"Suddenly I feel a little like Cthulhu."

Qi Ming added: "Doesn't the owl's round face look interesting? It looks like a radial X around the eyes.

The feathers on their faces form a radial shape, so that the sound can be gathered to the two asymmetrical ears on both sides of the head, one high and one low, so as to judge the three-dimensional position of the prey and attack quickly and effectively. "

"I've always thought that owls have a strange face shape, but I really haven't thought about why it looks like this."

"So that's it, I've raised my posture again! You can always learn something new by watching the director's live broadcast."

"The principal is really knowledgeable, he feels like he knows everything."

Netizens were amazed.

"Xi Tian Tired of Looking at the Sky" rewarded 5 rice balls!
"Boss Du" tipped a plane!
"Miaosi Meow Meow" rewarded 10 shrimp balls!
While speaking, Qi Ming fed the eagle owl some more meat.

The horned owl turned into a ruthless meat-eating machine, nodding its head and pumping its chin, gobbling it all up piece by piece.

"Are you still hungry, do you want to eat?"

Qi Ming smiled lightly, and handed another piece of meat to the eagle owl's mouth, this time it smacked its lips and didn't bite again.

It seems that he is really not hungry, and his bright eyes reveal a joy of being full and satisfied.

"Okay, let's come out after feeding the horned owl. It's better to let it enjoy the tranquility alone, and don't spend too much time together. After all, this is a wild bird, and it will be active in the wild in the future, so it feels that humans have nothing to do with it. Danger is bad."

After turning off the lights and closing the door, netizens regret that they haven't seen enough, but they still understand.

"So cute! Why would anyone hate owls?"

"Yes, handsome and cute."

Qi Ming pondered for a while: "Actually, the horned owl is more in line with our human aesthetics. It looks very handsome. There is also a snowy owl. The 'Hedwig' raised by Harry Potter is a snowy owl. Its snow-white feathers are very beautiful. Beautiful, the appearance is one of the best in the owl world.

But not all owls look like this!

Like grass owls and barn owls of the genus Owl, there are no feather tufts on their heads, a heart-shaped face, furry like a monkey, and eagle claws, so the folks also call them "monkey-faced eagles".

There are a pair of black and pure black eyes on the pale yellow face, which looks like a ghostly face when viewed from the side. It is also silent like a ghost when flying, and it will make a sharp cry to threaten the prey when preying. Captures prey with terror.

Imagine, in the middle of the night, you hear a shrill cry, walk to the window in awe, and suddenly see a skeleton head passing by in front of the window, and ask if you are afraid? "
