Chapter 63: The Big Eagle
The prey of four eagles, excluding the rations for raising eagles at home, can basically be sold for a hundred and eighty yuan in cash every day.
As the leader of the eagle, Yue Feng had to get more than half of the money from the sales. During this period, he saved more than 300 yuan in cash. If he hadn't been busy going up the mountain to guard the big black eagle, Yue Feng would have saved more than 300 yuan in cash. I had already made plans to buy back the 16-gauge shotgun from the next village.
After the brothers simply said hello, Xiao Tao skillfully counted everyone's harvest today, then carefully put it into the wicker basket on the back seat of the bicycle, and rode on the bicycle to deliver the goods.
When Xiao Tao came back with the money from selling game, he asked Meng Yulan to enter the account, and then everyone in the family opened the pot and ate, eating and drinking. After the day's money was distributed, everyone went home. rest.
Generally speaking, everyone in the team would go back to their homes before 8:30, and it was about the same time today. After everyone left, Yue Feng went to the kang in his west room early to catch up on his sleep.
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Yue Feng was woken up by his father. Yue Feng got up and washed his face with cold water, and then took the big eagle squatting on Yue Lei's arm.
In the past week, Yue Lei basically put down his hawk and went to bed before twelve o'clock. Today, his son said he would stay up all night, so Yue Lei went to bed an hour late.
At this moment, the big red eagle in my hand was also a little sleepy. At this time, it would usually be time to sleep.
Yue Feng held the big eagle and initially got used to the feel. Then he began to stroke the eagle's chest and try to touch the eagle's head.
The wild eagle is very resistant to being touched on its head and chest feathers. After all, in its perception, these are critical parts.
When Yue Feng touches it, the eagle will become energetic for a while. When the state relaxes a little, Yue Feng touches it again. After several times in a row, Yue Feng's 'harassment' extends from the eagle's head and breast flowers to its talons and tail. , back and other parts.
No matter where you touch it, the main purpose is to prevent the eagle from sleeping, and to let the eagle gradually adapt to people's touch, so as to reduce the eagle's wariness towards people.
Many movies and television works describe the eagle's willpower as it competes with people with big eyes and small eyes. It seems that if the person wins in the end, the eagle will succumb.
This statement is actually wrong. There are a lot of details in the technique, such as Yue Feng's "salty pig hands" on his hands, which is one of the true meanings of boiling the eagle.
The process of falcon training is a process of programmed desensitization of the eagle, allowing it to gradually let go of its guard against people, knowing that people will not hurt it. In addition, combined with weight loss and fat loss, the two-pronged approach of clearing the lower shaft and clearing the bore, slowly You can adjust the eagle to a hunting state that is not afraid of people but still hungry.
Theoretically speaking, the most reasonable state for a newly trained falcon is that it is not afraid of people at all, is hungry, and has enough physical reserves to go head-to-head with rabbits and pheasants in the wild.
Yue Feng held the hawk on his eagle and changed his posture from sitting to standing every once in a while in the room. Before he knew it, two hours had passed.
After three o'clock in the morning, the eagle became obviously sleepy. The eagle did not respond to regular touching, grooming, or even touching its talons. The eyelids of its eyes were closed, and the down on its head and face Also completely relaxed.
Seeing that Ying was completely open, Yue Feng changed his move again.
Turn your wrist!
A slight twist of the wrist wrapped in the eagle sleeves will cause the eagle in his hand to lose its balance, and it will flap its wings and struggle a few times. After such a toss, the eagle immediately becomes more energetic.
After a while, Yue Feng turned his wrist and kept the eagle from resting. During this period, he used various techniques to touch it, trying his best to wear down the eagle's physical strength and energy.
The whole night, Yue Feng did not blink. It was not until the sky turned white outside and the big rooster crowed in the village that Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The first big night is over.
Yue Feng carried the hawk from the house to the courtyard. He first went to the thatched building in the southwest corner to urinate, and then walked leisurely in the yard with the hawk in his hand.
At dawn, the eagle became energetic. Yue Feng didn't sleep a wink last night, and it didn't get any rest at all. However, the biological rhythm is here. When it is dawn, just like a person who is too hungry does not feel hungry, the eagle becomes energetic again. At this time, in the yard and on the street outside, the chirping sounds of various sparrows and birds began to sound one after another, and the eyes of the big red eagle also became alive.
This kind of eye-catching state is different from the tame kite looking around when going out to work. In one sentence, it is that the stomach is a little hungry and the instinct is to find something. Food, but being controlled by others, it feels like a conflicting emotion that is not very safe.
Seeing this scene, Yue Feng knew that the power of staying up for a long time was beginning to show.
Yue Feng decisively carried the eagle back to the house, then dipped a piece of clean white cotton cloth into water and dripped it on the eagle's beak.
The eagle didn't sleep all night and was already thirsty. When water fell to its mouth, it clicked its mouth. After trying to make sure it was safe, it soon started drinking heavily.
Yue Feng knew that this cold water was the most untamable thing for an eagle. As long as the eagle continued to drink, he would keep giving it until the eagle turned its head and stopped drinking.
After happily feeding him water, Yue Feng carried the eagle to the yard again.
Sit for a while, then get up and take a walk. When you get tired from walking, go back to the bench and sit for a while again.
In less than an hour, the eagle that drank water poked its tail and popped a water stick.
What is a water bar? Normal eagle stripes are white and black, showing a straight line, with white in the near area and black scattered in the farthest position.
As for this big eagle, it has been eight days without food since it was put down from the net. There is no food in its stomach. What comes out in strips is basically like water-like daddy. For water strips.
After filling the water strips, Yue Feng knew that the opportunity had come to give the eagle some fresh food.
He turned back to the house with his eagle on his back, and took down a small bowl that had been prepared long ago from the pot stand.
In the small bowl were several pieces of chicken breast meat. At the bottom of the bowl, there was a little bit of dark red blood seeping out of the lean meat.
Yue Feng took a little water from the jar with one hand and poured it into the bowl, then walked out of the house with the bowl in hand.
After adding water, the dark red blood in the bowl was diluted and turned into a light pink color. Yue Feng grabbed the two sides of the short eagle with his right hand, then picked up a piece of red meat with his left hand and placed it on the eagle's beak. Rubbing.
The eagle did not eat, but habitually clicked its lips to taste the blood stained on the meat.
Clear water has no taste, but this blood water is different. The faint smell of blood directly amplifies the eagle's hunger.
Yue Feng pinched the meat with his left hand and continued to seduce the eagle's beak. This time it was not only stained with blood, but also deliberately hung on the hook of the eagle's beak.
The eagle's beak was also sharp. Yue Feng consciously seduced it, and a trace of meat stuck to the edge of the big eagle's beak together with the blood.
When the big eagle drank water, the shredded meat was swallowed.
