Bai Yu once heard from two uncles that red-crowned cranes and white cranes live in different habitats.
One is a swamp and the other is a tundra area, leaving each other undisturbed.
Only his father was very busy all day, traveling frequently between the two places, and the flight distance often exceeded the standard.
One time, in order to find a wife, he almost missed the migration of a large group of red-crowned cranes.
The specific situation described by my uncle is as follows:
‘The situation was urgent and the team leader was about to leave as soon as he flapped his wings. Your uncle and I rushed over and persuaded him for a long time before he reluctantly agreed to postpone it.
‘It turns out that your dad came late and didn’t care at all how much our two brothers had paid! She opened her mouth and said, "I miss Xiaoyan so much" - Oh, this is your mother's name.
‘This girl is really hopeless! ’
Bai Yu: ‘……’
Never expected it.
My biological father is actually a love brain.
My father's original love affair across "races" was already a deviant move. It was quite interesting to listen to the story from the perspective of a bystander.
Now things are going well, things are changing.
When it was Bai Yu's turn, he went completely crazy.
There was a big cross in the "Criteria for Mate Selection" column, and he ignored even ordinary cranes and focused directly on a macaw.
Let’s not talk about whether wading birds and climbing birds have a future, but just talk about his current situation——
It's no different than going to jail.
It's obviously still a life sentence.
Looking at each other from a distance through two layers of tempered glass, it is probably worse than the Cowherd and Weaver Girl that humans have said orally.
At least they can still see people above and their personal freedom is not restricted.
Bai Yu sighed secretly in his heart.
Not caring about eating for the time being, since he could only get mediocre-tasting feed after grabbing it anyway, he continued to tilt his head and look in the direction of the macaw house.
Once your eyes are filled with bright red, you can no longer fit other colors into it.
Things have come to this, and even he can't change it, he can only accept the reality.
In the field of vision, the beautiful red and green macaw changed from its usual laziness and was now spreading its wings.
Although she looks beautiful, what really attracts Bai Yu is her calm attitude in dealing with things, and she will not aggravate herself in order to cater to human beings.
She was about to fly up with her toes on the iron pole, but was easily pulled back to the original position by the strong shackles, and her short anklets were dangling in the air.
Bai Yu felt worried for a while.
This device with an iron ring and a chain should not be attached to the bird's feet.
While it acts as a restraint, it also seriously affects the growth of their ankles.
Mild skin inflammation.
In severe cases, the leg bones may become deformed.
Bai Yu took a few steps forward uncontrollably and walked to the edge of the venue.
He could clearly see the faces of many human tourists, but the Macaw Pavilion seemed close at hand, but it was always difficult to get close.
In the past, I watched helplessly as my father was forcefully dragged away by humans, stuffed into a truck, and sent to another zoo.
Now I can only watch helplessly as the red and green macaw falls back, lowers its head, and buries itself in its wings.
He is the same person today as he was two years ago.
Still can't do anything.
However, the reality is not as miserable as Bai Yu imagined——
On the contrary, Ah Fei did it on purpose.
This is her latest "Daily Performance Plan":
Show the whole process of being unable to fly and being chained in front of the tourists.
Suppose she stands still on the bar.
Humans outside the thick glass would probably feel very satisfied, pointing the strange rectangular object at her and saying "click" repeatedly.
But if she fails to fly many times in a row, her colorful wings will open halfway and then retract...
Human beings will definitely feel unhappy if their interest in watching is suddenly interrupted.
After a while, someone might give feedback to the zoo administrator.
This is not something Ah Fei takes for granted. There have been successful precedents before.
The Macaw House is the smallest.
The former Hornbill Hall was just as small.
The essential reason for expanding their venue is that someone wanted to see a hornbill standing on a branch.
There are also various agile jumping states.
Later, Ah Fei saw several humans with huge cylinders hanging around their necks.
Their goal was very clear, and they clicked in the direction of the Hornbill Hall for a while.
She heard that those people were called "photographers" and their photos were published in a famous animal magazine.
It attracts many tourists to the zoo.
Humans are such greedy creatures.
As long as it is profitable and attracts more people, they can satisfy any need.
All the animals in the park are commodities with clearly marked prices. The more "precious" animals are moved to big houses, and the ones that no one cares about are kept in small rooms.
There is no sunlight, and the chains are locked.
The friends around me didn't know what they were fed, but Le Zhong was committed to the performance and didn't mind wearing anklets.
For example, Alan even thinks that life in the zoo is quite good.
Food and accommodation are included and treatment is good.
Ah Fei's ultimate wish is to leave this dark place, preferably with more "inmates" along with her.
One step at a time.
Achieve small goals first and then talk.
She cannot communicate with other macaws.
You can only rely on yourself.
But Ah Fei never expected that the "Daily Performance Plan" would be terminated after less than three days of execution.
Her first small goal is about to be achieved.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ah Fei stared at the blue and gold macaw on the right with confusion, "Why are you so angry?"
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Alan couldn't stop wailing.
The huge pointed beak opened and closed, and the eyes were so round that they looked a little dull.
He continued sadly and helplessly:
"Am I going to be lame in my foot? It's strange, I haven't moved around much? It's impossible to twist it!
"But it hurts so much now. Ouch, I can't bear it anymore! I'm going to die..."
"Shut up."
Ah Fei moved a few steps to the side, raised her wings and breathed into his face, and asked angrily:
"Which foot? Let me see."
"Woooo! I..."
Alan stretched out his left foot with great effort and was about to continue complaining loudly when he was slapped again by the red and green macaw.
The whole bird suddenly fell into a daze.
I forgot everything I wanted to say.
"You're in pain because your ankle is inflamed."
Ah Fei took a cursory glance at Ah Lan's left foot and quickly came to the conclusion, "Fortunately, it was discovered early. It might be broken after a while."
Ah Fei was not surprised.
Alan is still in his infancy, a time of development, and it would be strange if there is no problem if an iron ring tightly wraps his ankle.
"Then what should I do?"
Alan was in so much pain that he could only stand on one leg. He was depressed and tried to ask her for help.
"Nothing else to do, wait until the breeder comes to feed you and shout loudly, the sharper the better, so that the other person understands how painful you are."
Ah Fei spoke concisely and concisely.
"Does this trick work?"
Alan stood there aggrievedly. The big bird was wilted and no longer had the spirit of the past.
Ah Fei was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Lost in thought.
Judging from the current situation, one blue and gold macaw is suffering from the condition, and it is unlikely that several others will have the same symptoms.
It is true that humans want to control their activities, and it is also true that they want to use them to earn more silver coins. If one skin becomes inflamed one after another, it is obviously a losing business.
It is a settled future that all members will take off their anklets.
The next small goal is...
Ah Fei held her head high and her eyes firm.
When the shackles are taken off, I must go out.
She must find out how many "inmates" in this zoo have the same idea of "escape" as she does.
Every one can be saved.
After closing for the day, Ah Fei was amidst Ah Lan’s heartbreaking scream——
After a year, she once again felt what it means to "jump freely, be agile and lively".
Ah Fei has already entered the mature stage and her ankles will not continue to grow.
After taking off the anklet, the skin around that area felt a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't really painful.
In comparison, Alan was much miserable.
His skin was abraded by the iron ring. It became inflamed for many days until it ulcerated, and the metal was embedded in his skin.
Just the process of unlocking and taking it off already made him miserable.
"Help! Kill the bird!"
"I can't stand it anymore! Ahhh!"
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"Uuuuuuuah, it's better to let me die!"
"Will I turn into a one-legged bird!"
"I collapsed, woo woo..."
To human ears, these are just a series of bird calls.
Although it was a bit noisy.
But it's bearable.
However, Ah Fei's ears were filled with noise pollution that could not be shielded. The more he listened, the more irritated he became.
Let her good mood disappear in a second.
After the human in gray uniform left, Ah Fei finally couldn't help it anymore, quickly stepped forward and swung his wings over.
"Shut up! It's so noisy!"
"Ah! Woohoo!"
Alan's body was slightly smaller than hers, and his wingspan was much shorter. He couldn't resist, so he could only run around in the venue.
Use flexible movement to avoid.
"Murder your own kind! Ah Fei! This is too much! How can you be so cruel..." Xin.
Ah Lan's voice stopped suddenly, and her figure disappeared from Ah Fei's sight.
Ah Fei: "?"
She slightly contracted her wings and flew slowly over, only to find a square gap in the corner of the venue where the iron frame usually blocked it.
There is a gray fan on the ground, probably it fell after being damaged.
Get out of here...
It should be another venue.
The zoo's venues are connected one by one, and there are separations between rooms, but the overall structure is circular.
In the same row as the macaw hall is the hornbill hall, the front left is the macaque hall, and the front right is the terrestrial bird hall.
There are many animals living in the blind spot that Ah Fei cannot see.
As long as they pass through the human entrance door, they can leave this damn prison.
What's going on?
Is "freedom" just around the corner?
Ah Fei flapped her wings a little excitedly, wanting to break through the door immediately and fly into the blue sky.
But after a while, she calmed down again.
There are countless animals trapped here, some are content with the status quo, and some are in despair.
It's not difficult for her to escape on her own, but what about those flightless animals?
How to avoid human pursuit?
Ah Fei wants to take them with her.
But before that, she still needs to find like-minded companions.
Night has come, the lights are not turned on in the park, and most of the animals have fallen asleep.
Ah Fei carefully avoided the sleeping Ah Lan, passed through the square gap, and flew along the passage outside the venue.
There is also a huge iron door at the end of the passage, which can only be opened by humans in gray uniforms.
It cannot be destroyed by force.
Ah Fei walked roughly half a circle and accurately found the place where the fan was installed at the top of the terrestrial bird house.
She poked her head forward without hesitation, and pecked the bottom of the fan blade with her sharp beak, and heard a "click" sound.
The basic reason why macaws are named "King Kong" is because they can easily peck open the nuts of palm trees.
The fruit has an extremely hard skin that is difficult to break open with a hammer.
Ah Fei really can't deal with the iron ring.
But for the plastic fan in front of me, it is naturally a one-hit kill.
Most of the wading birds in the museum are resting, and a few are soaking in the pond, very leisurely.
When Ah Fei flew over, he didn't make any unnecessary noise, nor did he attract their attention.
It was obviously her first time here.
But as if he had been guided, he turned into a corner in a familiar way.
Ah Fei finally stopped at a high place, her eyes quickly locked on a sleeping white crane standing upright on one leg, and she called him softly:
"Hello."
A few days ago, I saw this beautiful white crane being attacked by several black-necked cranes, but they didn't resist at all.
Ah Fei admitted that she didn't want to see other birds abandoning themselves and waiting for death.
Since they are birds, they are born to belong to the vast sky instead of being forced to be trapped in a zoo.
He should also be eager to fly, right?
Of course wings are for flying!
"Let me ask you."
It was a sound that had never been heard before.
Bai Yu opened his eyes instantly, and through the moonlight, he saw the bright red tail feathers, and above that were three colors spread out.
As beautiful as a scroll.
And so unreal.
"It's you..."
Bai Yu murmured softly.
He always felt like he was dreaming.
Looking up at the high-spirited red and green macaw, Bai Yu opened her wings for some reason.
As if acting instinctively, he pretended to want to catch her.
"Be careful."
But he forgot——
She is a bird and can fly.
"..."
This was the first time Ah Fei encountered such care.
She followed Shan Ruliu and landed on Bai He's back, trying her best to spread her sharp claws outward to avoid scratching him.
"Do you want to leave?"
she asked bluntly.
Almost at the same time, Ah Fei saw Bai He straighten his neck and look out through the thick tempered glass.
Tonight the bright moon is high and the breeze is blowing.
The outside world is extremely beautiful.
Make them yearn for it.
I don’t know how long it took, but just when Ah Fei was sure that he would simply respond, a weak voice sounded:
"I...I don't dare."
Bai Yu replied softly.
He didn't look back at her.
