Parrot Aoi and Raven Ado

After talking with Mr. Osaki, Aoi and Chengyi felt that they had a deeper understanding of the raven.

Before leaving, Mr. Osaki gave them a brand new rattan bird's nest, saying that it was to celebrate Hedu's successful escape from the danger, to get rid of the past and start a new life.

In addition to the bird's nest, the big white parrot held in the arms of the owner when it came out also had a booklet in its mouth, which contained some experience summarizations on the habits, characteristics and feeding methods of birds of the genus Corvus. It was Mr. Osaki who knew that they wanted After coming here, I specially printed it out in advance.

All in all, this trip was very rewarding. Chengyi felt that he had learned more about birds, and Kui felt more confident in raising Xiaodu.

The brooding period of the raven is generally five to six weeks. After this period, the chicks will slowly shed their down and replace them with more functional and powerful down and feathers.

At this time, the parent birds will gradually start to take the chicks out of the nest and start to adapt them to the wild life on the trees and on the ground.

After gradually leaving the nest, these young birds will live with their parents for about six or seven months. When they are full-fledged and skilled, the parents will no longer take care of them, and these young birds will officially become independent.

Generally speaking, the fledgling period that requires Kwai's special concern will not be too long. The great white parrot thinks that it can be relieved as long as it lasts for two or three weeks.

When the little bird can leave the nest and run around in the attic and home, it can put food and drinking water in a fixed place to train itself to eat. At that time, it doesn't need to ask for leave from the owner, and flies back four or five times a day. The second time was to 'send milk' to Du.

Thinking about the future, the sunflower parrot, feeling hopeful for life, rubbed its cheek against the head of the baby bird in the nest. To be honest, it still likes the fluffy and chubby appearance of the nestling period.

You must know that according to Mr. Osaki, after the fledgling period is over, Du will grow long feathers on top of the down feathers, and then this cute appearance will disappear.

The big white parrot with an old father's heart doesn't know yet. It's best to take care of the children when they can't walk or run. When they learn to walk, they can walk around independently. Those little things have a strong thirst for knowledge and curiosity. , is the beginning of the parents' nightmare.

Du, who was brought out by Aoi Yoshinari, is now lying on the new bird's nest presented by Mr. Osaki. As a bird lover, Mr. Osaki's gift is naturally a good thing.

The bowl-shaped bird's nest is small, but it is small and exquisite. The whole bird's nest is woven with wisteria vines in the air and dried. This makes the bird's nest not only exquisite and durable, but also has a wisteria fragrance, which can Masks unpleasant odors from birds or nests.

Judging by the size of the bird's nest, it should be a bird's nest for small birds such as lovesickness birds or budgerigars. Aoi will definitely not be used. Even if Du is estimated to grow for a while, this bird Nesting it is also useless.

It is estimated that this time should not be too long. After all, it has only been two weeks. Du's body is two times bigger than when he first arrived at Hayakawa's house, and his weight has more than doubled.

This is why Mr. Osaki will give it a gift. As a professional, the recovery of this little raven has far exceeded his previous expectations, which is a reward for its vigorous vitality.

However, this gift from Mr. Osaki does not seem to please Du, because it is a new bird's nest, and there is no sunflower smell in it. To Du, a bird's nest that does not have the smell of sunflower is even if it is made of gold. Du, who was lying in the bird's nest, always looked like a baby who was unhappy.

The plump fledgling is in a delicate nest, its bright yellow mouth is closed tightly, and its fluff is fluffy. Looking at the big white parrot not far away, he had an expression that the baby would be happy if you came here.

That cute look and bright little eyes with anticipation can kill everything in seconds. Aoi thinks those special fluffy pendants on the hostess' high-end bag are nothing, in terms of attractiveness, they are not as attractive as her little raven. one.

The more you look at it, the more you are full of heart, the great white parrot lowers its head, and uses its beak to comb the fluff of the bird in the nest little by little from head to tail, so that the already fluffy fluff of the other party looks more fluffy, soft and smooth like It's like marshmallows lying in a bowl.

Du was combed very comfortably. He lay on his side in the bird's nest with his bird's eyes closed and stretched out one wing and small thin legs. Following the movement of the sunflower falling on his body, he hummed and chirped a few times from time to time.

Aoi patiently took care of the chicks in the nest to make them cute and beautiful. Just like the little raven, taking them out is no worse than those little things taken care of by their parents, and even better, definitely enough Not qualified to run for the most energetic chick of the raven family.

"du~du~ah~." A series of cries that Aoi had never heard before suddenly appeared in the mouth of the little raven who was enjoying himself comfortably.

"What? What are you calling?" Aoi, who didn't hear clearly, subconsciously lowered her head, turned her head and brought her fluffy ears closer, trying to listen carefully.

The little raven who was being questioned took a deep breath, opened his mouth with a bulging crop, and let out a loud and clear voice with trembling throat: "tui~~~~."

? ? ? ?

The big white parrot has a question mark on its face, what's the bird's name again, Chinese legs?

Thinking of this, he quickly lowered his head to look at the chick's two slender matchstick legs, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Mr. Cheng Yi, who was driving in front, was forced to step on the accelerator by the bird's "tui~~~", the car stopped instantly, and he himself looked back in shock at the bird in the bird's nest except for Meng and He. The fledglings are a little over the age of one month and can't see anything wrong with them.

Fortunately, they are now on the road to the suburbs, there are fewer cars and fewer people here, otherwise Mr. Cheng Yi's sudden brake will definitely arouse strong dissatisfaction from the driver behind.

But it's no wonder that Mr. Cheng Yi was so shocked. Anyone who heard that a baby bird that was not yet full moon was able to actively imitate human speech would be his reaction.

As an old breeder who has raised parrots for more than 30 years, Cheng Yi still has a say in how to teach birds to speak.

Of course, if you want the bird at home to speak as soon as possible, you must start communicating with it when the bird is still a bird. You should often repeat the same word or sentence around the bird every day to arouse the interest of the bird. But you can't speak at such a young age, right?

"It...was it calling you Aoi just now? Is it Aoi, your name?" Cheng Yi, who was still in disbelief, asked this question, unbuttoning his seat belt and turning around to confirm.

But Aoi, who was being questioned by him, seemed even more dazed than he was. After being a young bird tutor for so long, it had never seen a young bird that spoke so early.

In order to reconfirm, Aoi lowered her head to lure/coax him and said, "Is Du calling Aoi? Aoi didn't hear clearly, is he calling?"

Hearing the words, the chicks in the nest tried their best to puff up their small chests, opened their mouths for a long while, and finally only uttered a series of yayah~~~.

This is the common cry of chicks. There is nothing new about it. Kui and Chengyi looked at each other when they saw it, and looked at the little bird together. Seeing that it really couldn't make a cry, they wondered if they just heard it. wrong?

"Did you hear that? It was just called a leg?"

"I heard it, and Aoi heard it too."

One person will get it wrong, but one person and one bird will not get it wrong. The chances are too small.

So that little bird just started imitating?

It couldn't be more amazing. If this matter is confirmed, I'm afraid it can be included in the Guinness Book of Strange Stories.

The more he thought about it, the more he found it unbelievable. Cheng Yi turned around slowly, pulled the seat belt in a daze to fasten it on himself, started the car under Aoi's safety reminder, and drove slowly on the road.
