Chapter 134: Nai Yingzi, abnormal weight gain
“What’s up, Dad, are your legs feeling better recently? Or if you have time some other time, I will take you into the city to take a picture. How is your recovery?"
Yue Feng casually squeezed Naoyingzi's beak and chatted with his father.
Yue Lei: "In the past month or so, the food at home has been good, and there is plenty of oil and water. I feel that my legs have recovered much faster! When I go to bed at night, I can feel an itchy feeling in the wound. It should be the bone. It’s grown!
At first, the doctor said I would be better in spring. I guessed that around the Chinese New Year, my left foot would be ready to go off the ground!
There’s no rush for filming, I’ll just keep it at home for now, it’s definitely not going to get better now anyway! ! The snow on the road outside is so slippery. If you fall, it will be more than worth the loss! "
"That's true! Then keep raising it! This eagle really lets you figure it out, look at its disgrace..."
The eagle squatting on Yue Lei's arm is completely synonymous with cute pets at this moment, with its feathers fluffed into a ball. , in broad daylight, standing with one paw on Yue Lei's arm, looking like an owl with his head tilted.
Yue Lei touched the feathers on Nai Yingzi's back and said with a smile: “When my legs recover in the spring next year, I will be ready to go out and fly eagles! This eagle will be my responsibility from now on.
I guess this eagle can also recognize its home! Right, little cub? ”
"Chi chi chi chi chi!"
Nai Yingzi seemed to understand Yue Lei's question, and flapped his wings and screamed.
Yue Lei smiled and touched the tail of the eagle: "Look, it's not even feeding time yet. It started to flap its wings to beg for food! You don't know this eagle, yesterday morning I weighed it, how much do you think it weighs now?"
Yue Feng did not rush to answer immediately, but reached out and touched the muscles on both sides of the keel of Nai Yingzi's chest.
Judging from the thickness of the muscles, Yue Feng judged that his current fat condition had surpassed the state when he just got off the net.
"One pound and four and a half?" Yue Feng asked after he estimated an almost reasonable weight.
“It’s already one pound and five ounces! This eagle feels like a big meaty egg! If we keep it in a cage for one year, it will be almost one pound and sixty ounces by next fall! For an eagle of this weight, if If you work smart, you can catch a young rabbit that weighs three to four pounds! "
Yue Lei is not lying. The weight of a raptor does not basically stabilize after it comes out of the nest and can fly! , but after growing from sub-adult to adult, there is still a small wave of growth.
For example, if the Qiuhuang Eagle weighs about 2.1 pounds in the net, if it is delicious and delicious and kept in a cage for one year, its full fat weight can grow to about 2.2 or even 2.3 in the second year.
This chicken eagle is similar. It eats and drinks well and recharges its energy to serve it, and its weight will increase slightly.
However, it hasn't even changed yet, and it has grown from 1.4 off the net to 1.51, which is somewhat beyond Yue Feng's expectations.
This is no longer as simple as being round and fat, but a little bit obese.
"No! Do you think there is a possibility that the eagle's weight was abnormal when it came down from the net!"
Yue Feng shook his head and discussed it with his father.
"Why is it not normal? It's not about one pound and forty taels. Aren't ordinary chickens and hawks about this weight?" Yue Lei didn't quite understand his son's thoughts.
"But the frame of this eagle is obviously larger than that of a normal 1.4-pound eagle! I was still muttering when I was getting off the net. The eagle's skeleton and claws looked good, but it just felt a little thin overall!
Especially when they are placed side by side with our big iron-backed red eagle tightly wrapped in a coat, the difference in size becomes even more obvious!”
“You mean, this eagle! Did you suffer a lot in the wild?" Yue Lei understood his son's meaning and asked in a positive tone.
“Well, judging from the current body weight, I guess it’s very possible!
There are very few eagles with good temper and temperament like Nai Yingzi, so my grandfather raised him I have only encountered that one eagle for half my life!
Do you think it's possible that these eagles are the kind of scumbag eagles who were lucky enough to grow up at the bottom of the eagle's nest? They haven't had enough to eat since they were young, and their health will naturally be affected.
After leaving the nest and flying out, the physical fitness is slightly worse than that of the same kind, and the success rate when catching food is not high. This means that it is impossible to make up for the shortcomings in childhood in a short period of time, and the body condition has always been at a relatively low level. state!
In addition, the personality of this eagle is different from that of its kind. It is bolder, not afraid of people, and hungry. Only after these factors reached a certain critical point did it achieve the current effect. ! ”
Don’t say it, Yue Feng’s analysis shows that this is indeed possible.
Yue Feng is worthy of having played with the eagle handle of raptors for half his life in his previous life. It is not normal to just pass this milk eagle. So much information was analyzed about weight gain
Yue Lei: "I think what you said is very possible! But we don't need to consider the cause. We just need to raise the eagle well.
The eagle is now in a full-fat state and is still very controllable. Well, Xiaowen went to fly the eagle yesterday. He said that after going up the mountain for a day, it was empty. After climbing the tree, he called away and raised his hand to come.
Don’t mention this kind of behavior of the eagle! When it snows and goes into the mountains, even if it goes into the mountains in spring and summer, the eagle can’t be lost!”
“Hey, just keep it if it’s rare. Our family won’t be short of its meat now until your leg is healed! From now on, this eagle will be yours to take care of!”
Yue Feng is happy that his father will help him share the daily maintenance of the raptors at home. You have to know that it takes a lot to cook and feed the eagle. What about time.
......
If you have anything to say, keep it short, if you have nothing to do, keep it short. Slowly the sky darkened. In the evening, the four members of Yue Feng’s family finished their meal. Yue Feng prepared all the things he would bring from the mountain in the morning. Just after At half past eight, I went back to the house early and lay down.
Early the next morning, Yue Feng was woken up by the crow of chickens in the alley just after dawn. He got up, got dressed and got off the kang. When Yue Feng came out of the house, his mother Meng Yulan was already in the small stove. Give the dog food.
Dogs working in the mountains should not eat too full in the morning. The portion should only be about half of the usual food. Feeding too much will put a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines of the dog. Not only will it run slowly, but its reaction will also be affected. Influence.
However, going up the mountain is also strenuous work. In order to keep the dog in better condition, the quality of the dog food forked this morning has been improved to a higher level.
The cornmeal is mixed with a lot of wild boar offal fragments, and several spoons of bear oil are added. The fragrant smell makes even Yue Feng want to have a bowl of it.
The dog's food fork is ready, and the pot is taken down to dry until it is lukewarm before being fed to the dog. Soon the breakfast for everyone is also ready.
My mother’s specialty is the fat cakes and meat-oil pickles, as well as the salty pimple soup with frangipani.
At the same time, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Xiaotao also rushed to the meal time. They were all used to having breakfast at Yue Feng's house before going up the mountain. They gathered their seats and Stand aside, unfold the folding dining table, and bring the hot meals to the table.
While the four brothers were eating, the cooled dog food was also poured into the dog bowls for the four dogs one by one. The warm dog food was very comfortable for the dog to eat, and he soon saw the bottom of it.
They are both dogs that have been up the mountain. They knew from the moment they ate that the portion of food today was not right. The smart Rhubarb and Black Wolf had already guessed that they would go up the mountain later, and they grunted excitedly in front of the kennel.
When Brother Yue Feng and his four brothers came out of the north room fully armed and wearing leggings, the four dogs were completely excited.
"Xiao Tao, tie the dogs and let's go!" Yue Feng waved his hand, and Xiao Tao tied the dogs one by one with hemp ropes. A group of four people dragged two sledges and carried guns on their backs to lead the dogs. He left the village in a mighty manner.
Today’s destination is around Forest Farm No. 13, so everyone has a clear destination and almost chooses the nearest road into the mountains.
The mountain ridge outside my door went around two ridges, and then I quickly came to the Chaiji Road built by the forest farm on the mountain. I walked along the Chaiji Road. In less than an hour and a half, I arrived at the No. 13 forest farm area that Yue Lei said. .
Looking at the large area in the mountain forest that was obviously much brighter, Yue Feng couldn't help but sigh that his father had thought more.
Letting go of the dogs in this scene is not just a matter of casualness. Even if you encounter hundreds of kilograms of cannon eggs, the place is bright and there are not so many shrubs and tall grass, and the dogs and wild boars can move around without hindrance. It’s not easy to hurt the dog.
"Xiao Tao, let your dog loose!" Yue Feng greeted again.
Xiao Tao immediately loosened the hemp ropes of the four dogs, and the four dogs became excited.
"Big yellow, whoosh!!" Yue Feng gave the command, and the big yellow dog, whose tail had already been wagging into an electric fan, immediately started the search mode.
Old tree stumps, new tree branches, and vaguely visible animal trails around are all Dahuang’s search targets.
Dahuang lowered his head and searched around, and soon made new discoveries.
Woof woof woof!
Dahuang shouted several times in the direction of Yue Feng and the others, and then chased them southwest.
The other three dogs, after hearing Rhubarb's bark, gave up their own search and followed him.
"You're a coquettish girl! Let's go!" Yue Feng greeted and rushed out following Dahuang.
Entering the forest, a two-legged man could not outrun a four-legged dog. Dahuang ran all the way in front, keeping distance from Yue Feng and the others at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiaowen and Xiaowu each dragged a sledge and walked the slowest. Xiaotao and Yue Feng followed at the front, running in the direction of the barking dog.
This run covers two hills. Fortunately, the ridges here are all gentle slopes, otherwise it would be wishful thinking to catch up with Gouzi.
At this moment, Yue Feng and the four others were left far behind by the hunting dogs. They could only hear the faint barking of the dogs, but could no longer see the shadow of the dogs.
Besides, the rhubarb that went up the mountain was worthy of being called the best alpha dog in the surrounding villages by Chen Pao. After he recognized Sao, his road was steady and long, and he was able to chase her. After four or five miles, I successfully found the first prey that entered the mountain.
This is a small group of wild boars consisting of five pigs. The largest sow weighs 230 or 40 pounds, the two two-year-old pigs weigh 1,780 pounds, and there are two yellow-haired pigs, which cannot be detected visually. It weighs one hundred pounds.
Rhubarb’s cry alerted the group of wild boars from a long distance away, but the wild boars ran much slower in the forest than the hunting dogs. In less than five minutes, Rhubarb caught up with them. A big sow.
Dahuang, the alpha dog, is very smart. He has rich fighting experience in how to deal with different types of targets. After discovering that it was a big sow without fangs, Dahuang’s attack became obviously much more aggressive. .
Before the other three hunting dogs could catch up, Dahuang single-handedly bit the big sow.
The position of its lower mouth seems to be quite random, just one mouthful towards the big sow’s buttocks.
At this size of wild boar, the thickness of the pigskin is no longer so fearful of the teeth of hounds, but the biological instinct is still to fear being hurt.
The big sow was bitten on the butt. She was originally running for her life, but she immediately slowed down, turned her head and swung her mouth, and threw it at the big yellow.
Wild boars use only three methods to attack. They either use their body size to collide with the acceleration of running, or they swing their mouths to provoke. Occasionally, they will bite people or hounds when they are anxious.
Needless to say, collision is not as fast as a dog, nor as flexible as a dog, so it is difficult to be effective. The only thing that is somewhat threatening is to flick its mouth and poke, but there are no exposed fangs in the sow's mouth, and the poke is also very lethal. discount.
At most, it is just a slap on the dog's body. As long as it does not hit the dog's lower back and hurt these parts, it will basically not cause many serious injuries.
When Rhubarb bites the butt of a wild boar, it doesn’t mean to kill it. Instead, it engages in guerrilla warfare and runs away after one bite.
When the wild boar swung its mouth and lashed out, Big Yellow had already dodged a step ahead. Facing the big yellow dog that was moving so coquettishly, the wild boar had no choice but to do anything.
Just like that, when the wild boar wanted to run away, Rhubarb chased after him and took a bite. The wild boar resisted, but Rhubarb escaped early. After several consecutive attempts, it was already too late when the wild boar wanted to continue running wildly.
The three hunting dogs that followed quickly joined the battle group and immediately surrounded the wild boar.
When the helper dog arrived, Rhubarb’s offensive strategy obviously changed.
I saw it go around the side of the big wild boar, and bite into the soft meat under the shoulder blade of the wild boar's left front leg.
This time, Rhubarb did not retreat at the first touch, but killed the bite.
The big pig was in pain and wanted to swing its head to attack Rhubarb, but the position and angle were a bit tricky. The wild boar tried to turn around, and Rhubarb followed suit. The pig and the dog spun in a circle.
Dahei and Xiaohua, who cooperated with Dahuang tacitly, immediately rushed forward when they saw the dog.
Dahei bit the sow's right ear, while Xiaohua bit the sow's ear.
This is not the first time that the three dogs have cooperated, so their fighting methods are quite skillful. The only one who seems a little out of place is the black wolf who joins the group later.
The black wolf saw that its three companions had entered the battle. It did not rush to speak. Instead, it stared at the three dogs milling around, looking for possible opportunities.
At this moment, the sow's physical strength reserve is still very sufficient. The three dogs cannot bring her down at all. The soft flesh of her left front leg is bitten, and her right ear is also bitten by Dahei. In addition, Xiaohua's entire body weight almost hung on the pig's mouth, and the scene reached a temporary balance.
After observing for seven or eight seconds, the black wolf also jumped up.
I saw it bit the other pig's ear on the same side as the big yellow dog with a very precise bite.
