In my days as a farmer

As an east-west mountain range standing in the northeastern part of China, Baiyun Mountain towers into the sky, and the mountain range it belongs to is the geographical dividing line of the province. The north of this line is a semi-arid and semi-humid area dominated by grasslands , and its southern foot is a semi-humid and humid area.

Baiyun Mountain has a considerable altitude, and the towering mountain body blocks the warm and humid airflow going north in its hinterland, and only a few can cross the mountain top.At the same time, the dry and cold airflow going south is also blocked by it, so it is clearly the same mountain, but the vegetation distribution on the north and south sides seems to be separated by an invisible cover, respecting each other as guests and clearly distinguishing them.

Such a special geographical environment breeds different types of vegetation with huge differences, and different vegetation attracts different animal attributes. Therefore, as a local diversified ecological cluster, Baiyun Mountain has long been concerned and expected by the local agriculture and forestry department.

Of course, in addition to some rare animals, there are also some animals with strong adaptability to settle in the ground, and the crow family is one of the larger tribes.

In fact, it is not quite accurate to say crows. This big family is actually a group composed of various crows of the genus Corvidae, and everyone is just close relatives.

This group is mainly composed of large-billed crows and bald-nosed crows that are common in the local area, as well as some small and medium-sized crows. There is not much difference, so just call them the crow family.

Although it looks inconspicuous, this family is actually a well-known rogue army in Baiyun Mountain. They are as big as wild boars and as small as squirrels. None of them dare to provoke or plunder. What's more, they know how to beat them. People principle, often engage in group fights, sneak attacks if you can't win, or harass if you can't win the sneak attack, who can bear it.

In fact, there are not so many crows in Baiyun Mountain. It is not too far from the northern grassland, and it is also within the hunting range of their natural enemies, birds of prey.

The previous crows were dispersed in their own species and families, but for a period of time the number of local raptors plummeted, which made the crows' reproductive rate reach its peak that year.

Then another raven wandered here, and under the help of this raven, the local crow families united together, and lived a happy life of gossip, fights, and business.

They are happy, but the local small animals feel miserable, but one crow is easy to deal with, and a group of crows can't handle it, so they can only give in. As time goes by, the number of crows increases, and eventually they become the biggest evil in the local area. power.

But the Ravens had been peaceful for a few months.

The warm spring and the scorching summer are the seasons for birds to fall in love and lay eggs. Even the gangsters want to talk about friends and give birth to cubs.

Crows themselves are very social animals. According to scientists, if the parents of young crows die for some reason, their neighbors or relatives will take over the feeding work. Therefore, the survival rate of crows is relatively high.

And if a crow is unable to hunt or is injured, its companions will come to feed it. This is also the source of the idiom "crow feeds back". .

Of course, this kind of sociality also means-they are very, often, remember, and hate!

Crows are said to be able to remember what humans look like and pass word of mouth among their mates.Therefore, it often happens that one crow is bullied and a flock of crows comes.

So one can imagine how such a group of black forces in Baiyun Mountain felt when they saw a patrolling eagle appearing in the sky near their territory.

Now it is the end of July, which is a very sensitive season for the majority of crows.At this time, the young birds are basically full-fledged. Although the time of leaving the nest varies due to different species, most of them are already old enough to leave the nest.

The crow parents worked so hard to bring up the cubs, and the cubs finally started to fly. At this time, a hawk came to prey on it. Who can bear it.

So what are you waiting for, let's do it together!

The crows left their nests one after another. They waved their wings and took off into the air while "croaking". After gathering a wave and exchanging information, they took off under the leadership of the ravens.

"Ah-"

"kuwa—"

"Krakra"

The different calls of different types of crows were mixed together, and their high-pitched emotions made the small animals in Baiyun Mountain not to be vigilant, and they all speculated about what happened, but only the corvids themselves knew that the meaning of their calls probably meant—to fight in groups Hey/go to watch the excitement/go to play and so on.

How fresh it is, crows vs. raptors, a bird may not be able to see this scene in its entire life.

Cough, in fact, not only crows, but most of the birds in the corvid family are particularly fond of watching. Behind the crows are a small group of magpies and gray tree magpies, but they did not participate in it, but landed in a place with a better view On the canopy of the big tree, watching the lively chirping.

The leading raven is calm and calm. Its eyes are like torches and it is extraordinary. It leads thousands of ravens in the air to circle the whole team, and adjusts its position according to the actions of the eagle. At the same time, it looks up at the birds flying above them. The eagle made a hoarse cry, not only expressing its attitude of declaring war, but also indicating that this is their territory.

The eagle looked at them face to face for a while, and seemed to be assessing their fighting power. After a while, it lowered its height, which made the crows so angry that they all uttered crows.

If you flinch and run away quickly at this time, we can forgive you, but what do you mean by descending?Or is this slowly descending attitude, meant to come face to face with us?And they were all face to face and kept calling, what's the matter, showing off your arrogance?

Come on, come to BATTLE, who is afraid of whom.

In fact, they really misunderstood the eagle. It wasn't that it didn't want to leave, or that it didn't want to dive on purpose, and it wasn't that it wanted to keep calling, but that it had to do so because of its status.

Although the appearance looks quite mighty and domineering, this eagle is a little better than the paper tiger - its material is plastic paper, but it is still the same in essence, at most it can poke a few more times, it is just a cute and innocent It's just a kite.

The kite is actually a toy for humans to use the wind and fight with the wind.

As we all know, when the kite is flying up, it needs to be released slowly, and it must be stopped at intervals to let it balance and then be released when the wind is low. But in fact, it is not easy to collect the kite. Once the kite is collected too fast If you lose your balance, you will fall over.

At that time, the damage of the kite itself will be a trivial matter, and the long and tough kite string flying all the way will be a big problem. It can hold a large kite 3 meters in the sky. The tenacity and pulling force of the kite string can be seen. If something is entangled during the fall and then straightened, it will be similar to a steel wire, which is very easy to cause accidents. If you add a little speed, it will not be much different from a murder weapon.

But this thing has been in the sky and he is worried that it will entangle the bird, so even if he is anxious at the moment, he dare not urge Xun Yao to speed up, the two can only take their time, at a speed that stabilizes the kite without disturbing the bird At the same time, they moved to the side, trying to keep the kite away from Baiyun Mountain.

But it will take time for the human's moving speed to be reflected on the kite, plus this distance is nothing to Asuka, rounding it up means that it has not moved.

The birds were soon enraged by the eagle's disrespectful attitude and began attacking the eagle.

"Ah!!" Xia Dongli screamed, and he watched as the leading black bird suddenly raised its height, and then it flew to the back of the descending eagle, retracting its wings with its considerable weight Press on the eagle.

This action was very effective, the eagle was pushed down a lot, and at the same time, the wind whistle, which had been outputting at a constant speed, suddenly misfired.

To the crows, this scene meant that the eagle was stunned by them, so what are you waiting for, take advantage of its illness and kill it!

The crows gathered one after another and stepped on the eagle's back. At the same time, they all lowered their heads and tried to pluck their feathers... Huh?hair?Why is this eagle hairless?

The crows were a little confused, how did this bird fly without feathers?

But they didn't have time to react. Relying on the weight of the crows, the eagle kite was pressed down rapidly, and Xun Ao on the ground speeded up to take up the line. Speeding up the small tricycle at home to the highest speed, the three elders were sweating, and rushed towards the direction where the eagle kite might fall.

They are not for the kite, but they are afraid that if they arrive late, the bird will be entangled in the kite string. The injured bird will definitely struggle, and if it arrives late, it may kill a few birds.

"It's wonderful!" Chen Li held up his "cannon barrel" in amazement. He saw that Xia Dongli and Xun Ao were both busy on the road and had no time to analyze the situation, so he gave them a live voice broadcast: "Crows are omnivorous animals. Because their beaks can't bite the fur of animals, they basically eat carrion when they eat meat, but that doesn't mean they don't hunt."

"Crows are very good at hunting birds. The way they hunt birds is like this. They press hard on the prey bird to make it fall. If the bird is pressed down, it must open its wings to maintain balance if it does not want to fall to death. Here The crow would repeatedly hit the bird on the back during the process and injure it."

Xia Dongli turned the accelerator to the end, and asked while looking at the road: "Won't the bird below fight back?"

"On the contrary, if it turns over in time, it will lose some hair, but when crows hunt birds, they are basically group activities. When there are too many birds, the birds below will naturally not be able to turn over,"

While recording the scene in the air with a SLR camera, Chen Li explained while watching the crows hunting the eagle kite in the same way: "Then the crow will fly away ten meters away from the landing, and let the bird below it land. If you are lucky, the bird can land safely, but at this time its physical strength is almost exhausted. If it can't take off in time, it will be watched by crows waiting to work. If you are unlucky, the bird will fall alive and die. Be a meal for crows."

"However, they used to do this kind of thing to pigeons. I have seen crows provoke eagles, but I have never seen them take out hunting methods to treat 'eagles'. Xiao Xia, it seems that your kite has enough hatred Full."

In fact, Xia Dongli was really wronged in this matter, and he had never heard of flying a kite and being attacked by birds.

Moreover, the place where he flies the kite is his own small slope, at least three or four kilometers away from Baiyun Mountain, and the wind is still southwesterly today, so the kite itself is actually quite far from the Baiyun Mountain.

But obviously, for birds with wings and excellent eyesight, let alone a few kilometers, they can see and respond to predators tens of kilometers away.

Xia Dongli was silent for a moment, and he carefully controlled the direction of Xiaosanlun. At this time, the kite that was falling rapidly appeared in his vision.

He could see the helplessness and grief in the eyes of the eagle kite that was forced to land (hey), it was the same as the emotion in his heart.

"I didn't know that these birds can't even hold a kite!" Xia Dongli sighed: "By the way, I remember that crows are not migratory birds, right? When there is no food in the forest in winter, will they fly to the village?"

Researcher Chen was silent for a while, and said sympathetically but firmly: "It will definitely be. Crows are resident birds. It is normal for crows to enter the city in winter to look for food."

Xia Dongli only felt his eyes go dark.

These domineering birds can do these things to the eagle kite, and they must be able to do it to their chickens and ducks, right?

"It's okay," Chen Li reassured him, "Don't look at the many birds now. They will fly away in large numbers in winter. Crows are very smart. When food is not easy to get, they will fly to the garbage dumps around major cities. Landfill, looking for food in the landfill during the day, and entering the city at night to catch the heat, the heat island effect in rural areas like Xiaojin Village is not strong, and there is no food processed on a large scale, and there are not many birds that will stay here in the end."

Xia Dongli had already considered which was more cost-effective between spending money on feed vs. installing iron cages, and he was relieved to hear this.While they were talking, the eagle kite was forced to land at a distance of more than 20 meters from the ground, and the crows on the bird's back jumped up one after another as Chen Li said, allowing the eagle to land freely.

And at this moment, Xun Yao, who had been holding the kite string quickly, collapsed in his hand, and fixed the kite string, giving the eagle kite a support force that was about to fall to the ground, and the eagle kite followed this support force to the ground. The sky suddenly leaped up, startling the crows watching the excitement around it.

"Quack, quack, quack!" How can this bald bird still fly!

"KUAKUA" spread out quickly, and be careful of its claws.

The crows scattered one after another, and in the process, a bird went in the opposite direction, and it was the leader of the crow army, the raven.

I saw it rushing towards the eagle flying irregularly in the air, and then pecked at the eagle's face, and hit it, the eagle kite immediately lost its balance.

The leader fluttered his wings with its prize in his mouth, and watched the eagle struggling to hold on and then fell to the ground helplessly, and it uttered a joyful cry.

But unlike the crows who immediately chased up and tried to give the eagle a final blow, its eyes turned to the small tricycle that was rushing over, and then met Chen Li who was holding the camera.

"I think it may have discovered it." Chen Li included this scene in the video, and he said softly to the little friend beside him.

"What did you find?" Xia Dongli began to slow down, he hesitated whether he should go forward to "collect" the poor eagle kite now, would there be crows attacking him now?

Chen Li said in a deep voice: "It has discovered that we are the ones who started it, and this eagle is just an inconspicuous tool."

Xia Dongli:? ? ?

No, I just want to find a way to drive away the raptors that may catch chickens and sheep. Why do you say that I am like a villain BOSS?

"Look." Chen Li moved the SLR lens in front of Xia Dongli, and motioned him to look at the raven. Xia Dongli leaned over to take a look, and saw that in Fanfan's telephoto lens, there was a pitch-black sound on his chest. But a large black bird with long feathers was gazing in their direction, and it still had the plastic eye of an eagle kite in its beak.

Yes, it's kind of scary!

Xia Dongli quickly put down the SLR camera that was acting as a telescope, and twitched the corner of his mouth when he looked in the direction of the raven.

A kind of kick to be targeted!

Facts have proved that his senses are very keen. That night, not long after Xia Dongli lay down, his bedroom window was knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock," the sound of knocking on the window like a secret signal made him sweat all over in shock.
