Golden Fishery
v2 Chapter 240: . Bush
If it hadn’t been for Qin Shiou’s dealings with the old James and knowing that he was serious, he would have thought that the old man was holding him to joke.
This is a bald eagle? This gray-brown plumage looks like a gray pigeon is the famous American national bird?
Qin Shiou didn’t know much about seabirds. He was surprised when he heard what Old James said.
Old James was also very surprised, and asked: "Can't you recognize it? This is a baby bird of a bald eagle, a very small guy."
Qin Shiou felt ashamed of his ignorance, and said, "Well, isn't the head of the bald eagle snow-white? Isn't its mouth golden? How come it's like this-- uh, such a bird?"
Hearing what he said, the old James laughed and explained: "My eastern boy, you don't know enough about the bald eagle. This bird is like an ugly duckling. In childhood, the feathers were dark brown and ugly. But wait for it to grow. Great, it will undergo a completely reborn change and become a magnificent sea eagle king!"
Qin Shiou understood what was going on. He hadn't cared about this kind of bird of prey that was revered as a sacred bird by North American natives before.
Old James pointed to the big tree next to Qin Shiou. This is a tall North American sequoia with a height of more than 30 meters and a diameter of nearly two meters. A tree is a landmark with its name from the lighthouse.
Sequoia is one of the four tallest trees in the world. In the state of origin, California, it can often grow to more than 100 meters in height and more than eight meters in diameter, making it a terrestrial giant.
There is a bird’s nest at the top of the trunk of this red cedar. Even if it was more than 30 meters away, Qin Shiou could perceive its magnificence.
Old James pointed to the bird’s nest and explained: "There lived Bush and Barbara couple. They are the only pair of bald eagles in our harbor. You know, Qin. This kind of bird is rare now, and we keep occupying it. Their habitat and the use of bis-p-chlorophenyl trichloroethane insecticides, which prevent them from laying eggs normally, have made them less and less abundant."
"In addition, this way of breeding birds has also led to their scarcity. The females in the Bald Sea Eagles hatch after they lay their first eggs. In the early stages of incubation, they lay a second egg, causing the chicks to emerge from their shells. The dates can be different by a few days, so the chicks that hatch first are often much larger than those that hatch later."
"In this way, when food is scarce, the first chicks will eat the little chicks later as food!"
Qin Shi'ou grinned, Nima tiger can't eat its children, this bald eagle can live in its nest, brothers and sisters can actually use younger siblings as food?
But thinking about it is normal. The more brave and fighting birds and beasts, the more cruel and harsh the living environment, otherwise they will not be able to polish their sturdy temperament.
For example, Qin Shiou used to raise mastiffs in his hometown. When a litter gave birth to nine puppies, when they grew deciduous teeth, they stuffed them into the cellar to kill each other, and the one that survived was the one that could kill each other. Look at the mountain mastiff.
Said Old James crouched down and pulled the little eagle. Regrettably, “Barbara will have two children every year. For some reason, she and Bush’s children always like to fight. The big chicks will kill the little ones. It fell from the nest, but it’s a pity that its wings haven’t grown up yet, so it can’t fly. It can only be opened to cushion it..."
Speaking, Old James shook his head in frustration.
Qin Shiou saw that the little eagle was still struggling slightly, and said, “It’s not dead yet, now I’ll find a doctor to show it. Can’t it be saved?”
Old James reluctantly said: "The bald eagle's vitality is very tenacious. Even if its head is chopped off, it can fly for several kilometers. But this little guy is over, my boy, fell from a height of thirty meters, even if he spread his wings to cushion Yes. Its internal organs are also shattered, and now it's just getting back to light."
I think of the majesty of the bald eagle that I saw in TV or movies before. Qin Shiou was itchy in his heart. He asked, "Old man, can I take this little bird away?"
Old James shrugged and said: "You are free, but I advise you not to waste your efforts. This little thing is destined to see God."
Qin Shiou carefully hugged the little eagle in his hands and hurried to the yacht. Old James shouted behind him: "Don't expose the little eagle's body when you are at sea. Be careful to cause trouble! Marine supervisors won't listen. Your explanation!"
The Wild Bird Protection Act of the United States stipulates that fishermen are not allowed to kill birds when they go to sea. In addition, the bald eagle is a CITES protected bird in the "Washington Convention". Trading and killing bald eagles is illegal.
The sea monster and Shaq were shopping, replenishing the boat with bait and other accessories. When Qin Shiou hurried to the yacht and asked what was wrong, Qin Shiou didn’t have time to take care of them. He went directly on the yacht and found a basin of water to release the little eagle. Into the water.
Because of his bumps, the little eagle, who was almost at the end of his life, was almost finished, and his tender mouth was bloodshot.
After putting it in the water, Qin Shiou frantically drove the Poseidon energy into it in all directions. Kitty lay weakly in the water, his eyes closed and motionless.
"Shit! Fuck!" Qin Shiou hated the basin, and the basin swayed. The little eagle inside fluttered his wings, opened his eyes faintly, and looked at Qin Shiou in panic.
Seeing that Kitty had a reaction, Qin Shiou called a Xi Da Pu Ben. He hurriedly continued to instill Poseidon energy into Kitty's body. As long as this little thing had a breath, he believed that he could save it.
Behind, Shaq and others got on the yacht in a panic, and asked anxiously: "BOSS, what's the matter?"
Only Qin Shiou went to the onlookers' children just now. Shake, Sea Monster and others did not have this leisurely mood, so they didn't know about the little bald eagle.
Qin Shiou raised his fingers and hissed, looked outside pretentiously, and took out the wet Kitty from behind.
"God, bald eagle!" the sea monster called.
Shake covered his mouth and asked Qin Shiou carefully, “Hey, BOSS, where did this come from?”
The bald eagle is a species that is forbidden to trade and keep secretly in the United States or Canada. It is more protected than rare birds such as Darwin Rhea, Knife-billed Pheasant, Emperor Woodpecker, and Cuban Kite. After all, this is a national bird.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "I picked it up. Those children found this bird that fell from the tree. They thought the bird fell to death, and I picked it up."
Poseidon’s energy is not a quick-acting heart-saving pill, the little bald eagle is still awkward, it is lying weakly in Qin Shiou’s hands, with all kinds of energy, and it takes effort to open his eyes.
Shaq and the sea monster looked at each other. Just about to say something, Qin Shiou waved his hand and said, “Don’t persuade me to give it back to anyone. This little guy belongs to me. I want to bring it back to Farewell Island.”
"Then take it back, I hope I can leave the United States safely." Shaq said, anyway, this is a bird from the United States, it is better to bring it to Canada.
Qin Shiou built a nest with wood flour in the corner of the yacht, and then put the ugly little bald eagle in it.
The little bald eagle was listless, half-opened his eyes to look at Qin Shiou, put his head in his wings and lay down to doze.
Qin Shiou looked at it as lazy and ugly. Originally, he wanted to name it Chou Chou, Lazy Egg, and so on. Later, when he remembered that his father was Bush, he patted his little head and said, "Okay, you just call it." Bush."
The main reason is that he thinks that Bush Jr. seems to sound better than ugly and lazy names. Huzi and Leopard grunt twice in dissatisfaction: Dad, my brothers have something to say about the name. (To be continued~^~)
