Chapter 31 This kite is not a good person either
After dinner was ready, Yue Feng went to personally call over the four members of Xiao Tao’s father Li Wentong’s family.
The meals prepared by the Yue family were quite large and divided into two portions. The gentlemen had food, wine and bragging at one table, and the women and children had one table for their meals. One meal lasted from 11:50 to 1 o'clock. The battle ended half way through.
Yue Lei had an injury on his leg, so Yue Feng drank some for his father and the guests at home.
There was something else to do in the afternoon, and everyone didn’t drink too much. Each of us drank about three ounces of high-strength liquor to settle down.
Yue Lei also liked the little pine nut his son brought back, so Yue Feng decisively gave it to his father to play with. Everyone was still thinking about going up the mountain to slide the net. After eating and drinking, they said hello and then went up the mountain again.
The first stop was the grove by the river. Less than three hours later at noon, another eagle hit the net.
An old squirrel (an adult female Jayhawk), a plump purple kite, and the hanging net that had been quiet in the morning still didn’t catch anything.
The flowers on the old man's breasts are completely gray, and he looks very old at first glance. This old guy is unruly and has no domestication value. He can be released directly where he is.
It is worth mentioning that the second kite that was taken off the net was not in too bad a condition.
This Purple Harrier is half a size smaller than Yue Feng's Big Green Harrier, and it weighs about five and a half taels flat in the hand.
The eagle is not big, but it looks very energetic. It has a slender body and very thin arms. Even if it is not in actual combat, you can tell that it is a fast eagle just from its body shape.
The weight is quite decent, and the size of the eagle's talons is slightly smaller than that of the big green harrier, but it is definitely enough for catching prey such as flying dragons and sand chickens, which weigh about half a kilogram to one kilogram.
"I was still saying this in the morning, isn't this eagle here? It's a purple kite, Xiao Tao is here to help me, let's dress up the eagle first!"
Yue Feng said hello, and picked up the kite from his shoulder bag. He took out two kites that Yue Lei shot at home yesterday.
After putting on the leggings, Yue Feng took out the tight cotton jacket from his pocket, stuffed the two arms into the jacket, then made a circle around the lower corners and tightened the little kite, and the little kite was completely restrained.
"Don't stuff this little purple kite in your shoulder bag. The three of you will take turns licking it in the afternoon! Just treat it as an early showdown! Xiao Tao, you come first!" Yue Feng handed over the tight eagle directly. Xiao Tao's hand.
The previous Big Green Harrier was too big to be held flat in the hand, but this Purple Harrier is just right in the hand due to its large size.
The falconry brigade finally caught the second eagle that was serious about its work.
After the eagle was packed up, Yue Feng hung up the eagle net again, checked the trap to confirm that it was not dehydrated, and then led everyone up the mountain again.
We still climbed up the ridge from the gentle slope on the other side of Erjia Valley, but this time Yue Feng did not stay on this ridge. He took the three brothers across another ridge with a slightly steeper slope and came to the second set.
In the next three hours, everyone started the actual eagle-flying training mode with Yue Feng. The coaching eagle, the Big Green Harrier, took turns flying flat in the hands of the three brothers, again and again towards the distance. prey attacks.
In fact, there are not many difficulties in flying the eagle after becoming familiar with the details of the entire process. With the accumulation of experience in actual combat training, the three brothers gradually became more sophisticated in their techniques of flying the eagle.
The falconry in the afternoon also yielded good results. With the students practicing, Yue Feng also caught six flying dragons and three sand half chickens. Before you know it, it's already evening. Before the sun sets, eagles in the wild will also have a window period for hunting. At these two time points, the probability of an eagle laying is actually greater than at noon.
Because he was coming down from the mountain, the first eagle net Yue Feng checked was the one near the south side of the forest that had not yielded any harvest during the day.
This time, dozens of meters away, Yue Feng discovered that the eagle net buckle had been touched, and he immediately quickened his pace and rushed over.
A khaki harrier has been tangled up in the net wire due to its constant struggle after hitting the net. At this moment, the eagle is curled up on the ground, its mouth is wide open in fear, and its tongue is sticking out. .
Yue Feng knew that this was due to the violent struggle to get off the net, which led to dehydration, so he decisively took out a water bottle from his bag and gave the eagle some water, and then he took off the net from the eagle little by little. .
Compared with the purple kite caught at noon, this hemp kite has no appearance characteristics.
The feathers all over the body are khaki, and the lines on the chest are a bit messy. The eagle's arms are not too thin, and the muscles on the chest are not as thick as those of the Big Green Harrier and Purple Harrier.
Seeing that I have been introducing the different appearances of eagles, some people may have a question. Can these eagles with different coat colors and body details really determine their actual combat capabilities?
Responsible answers with an accuracy rate of over 85%.
How do you explain the truth behind this?
In fact, it is very simple. The color of the feathers of the eagle represents the different breeding places. There may be differences in the subspecies in different breeding places, which directly affects the performance in actual hunting.
For example, among the goshawks bred locally in the Northeast, most of the sub-adults, regardless of whether they are male or female, are covered in red fur. Female individuals generally weigh about two kilograms to two or three kilograms.
The breeding ground is further north in Siberia. The goshawks breeding there have light-colored feathers with a grassy white base. The females there start at two and a half pounds. Occasionally there are big ones, even weighing more than three kilograms.
To be more detailed, the wild hunting environment of raptors is different in different breeding places. Some eagle chicks grow up eating sparrows, mice and toads, while some grow up eating turtle doves, sand chickens and flying dragons. , when they learn to hunt with their parent birds after leaving the nest, the prey they come into contact with will also be different.
Yue Feng feels that this khaki-colored sparrow is an aborigine that breeds in the local pine forest. It doesn’t have any obvious advantages, but since there is no room for selection for the time being, he is not in a hurry to let go. Tighten it first and leave it on.
What I originally thought was an ordinary thing turned out to be reversed very quickly.
When Yue Feng was about to put a small coat on the eagle, Yue Feng's eyes lit up with several feather patterns of different colors on the belly of the kite.
With the new discovery, Yue Feng looked at the abdominal feathers of the kite, and then checked the tail feathers of the eagle.
"Not bad, not bad. I originally thought it was an ordinary eagle, but I didn't expect it was not a good one either." Yue Feng said to himself excitedly.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong? How can you tell that this eagle is not a good stubble?" Xiaowu was so uncomfortable with curiosity that he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Brother Feng, I looked a little disgusted at your expression just now, but you suddenly changed your evaluation again!" Xiao Tao also came up to ask.
Dear adoptive fathers, the results of the new book are too poor. I want to climb two steps up the new book list. Please vote for it!
