Chapter 143 Small Plate of Bait
After several failed attempts, the big black hawk obediently swallowed the pieces of meat into its mouth.
The next is the second, third and fourth time.
I was given four thin slices of meat in a row. After eating a few slices of meat, the fearful expression of the big black eagle obviously relaxed a little.
Seeing this, Yue Feng took out the spare eagle hat he had prepared in advance and turned it upside down with the tassel facing down. He placed the pieces of meat on the edge of the eagle hat and used the temporary hat for training as a feeder for the eagle. Container, holding the hat in his hand, he came closer to the eagle.
Whistle again to eat, the big black eagle doesn't care whether you use chopsticks to pick up the meat or use a hat to hold the meat. When you are hungry, you have to eat. It is keen to pick up the meat on the brim of the hat and swallow it.
Seeing this, Yue Feng continued to repeat the steps of feeding with the hat for the second and third times, but the further back he went, the deeper the meat was placed in the hat.
When I waited for the fourth time, I put the meat directly at the bottom of the hat. From the perspective of the big black hawk, the meat in the hat was basically invisible.
At this time, the intelligent characteristics of falcon raptors began to show. After hearing the whistle of eating, the big black eagle lowered its head and went to look for meat in its hat.
Yue Feng seized the opportunity. When the big black eagle took the initiative to stick his head into the hat, he held the tassel of the hat and pushed it back.
The big black eagle held the piece of meat in its mouth. It felt its hat moving and tilted its neck back habitually.
At this time, Yue Feng naturally put the eagle hat on the head of the big black eagle.
The big black eagle fell into darkness again and didn't know what happened, and immediately became motionless.
Seeing this, Yue Feng took off his hat again while holding his hat tassel.
Continue to repeat the previous actions.
After feeding the meat continuously and repeating the action of putting on the hat five times, the big black hawk basically stopped raising its head and hiding behind when it put on the hat again.
At this point, the second subject of taking off the hat for the big black eagle training indoors and enlightened eating is completed.
Training for the big black hawk, the third subject of manual hat identification and buckling has been initially completed.
While doing this continuous training, Yue Feng's hands were extremely stable. However, after feeding Ying a 60% full meal and putting the hat on again, Yue Feng was still a little excited and nervous.
The IQ of this gyrfalcon is definitely much higher than that of the hunting falcon.
Just a single hat training, when Yue Feng was playing with the Falcon in his previous life, it would take him two or three days to complete it. Some falcons with slightly more sensitive personalities are still unable to accept the operation of eating meat and then being labeled, even under the premise that Yue Feng's operations are very standard and there are no mistakes. There are even more extreme individuals who even have to be labeled because of being forced to do so. To some extent, I still have the problem of hurting my hands (fear of my hands).
But this big black hawk, from being panicked and uncomfortable at the beginning, to slowly understanding and accepting that if you put the hat on, you will get meat, it only took less than ten pieces of meat.
The difference here can be described as the difference between cloud and mud. This kind of learning progress is comparable to that of a smart dog.
After completing the food-opening training and hat-locking training, the preliminary preparations are officially completed.
Then I continued to take off my hat and hold it up day and night every day, letting the big black hawk gradually attribute its attributes to the people in the house, the dogs in the yard, and the various movements in the alley.
Seeing this, some people may ask, based on the previous experience of training eagles, is it time to show off to the big black eagle? I would like to mention it here.
The training of falcons does not rely heavily on high-intensity outdoor crowd desensitization, especially this big black eagle, which is a bit more courageous than other small falcons.
After I became familiar with the operation of taking off my hat and eating meat, my interaction with people improved very quickly in the next few days.
To give the simplest example, taking off a hat and putting on a hat when blowing a whistle, after continuous training and strengthening, even if no meat is given when blowing the whistle, the big black eagle will not be able to take off the hat. I have become accustomed to it, and there is no resistance to it.
Until the time when the big black eagle had no eyesight with his hat on, he dared to boldly move towards the sound to find someone when he heard the whistle. Yue Feng knew that the whistle had basically strengthened the conditioned reflex. The expected heat was achieved.
Some people say that the underlying logic of falcon training is like Stockholm syndrome.
Training an eagle is somewhat different from this logic, but training a falcon does have something in common.
The originally unruly raptors gradually lost their wild nature and reduced their physical reserves in human hands, and slowly began to accept human feeding due to hunger.
In the artificial feeding again and again, a new conditioned reflex is established, and this reflex is gradually strengthened to the point where it responds immediately when hearing a whistle.
The step of identifying the whistle is completed. The next important stage is to identify the fake bait for the eagle.
Yue Feng filled cowhide with sand, then sewed two pheasant wings on it, made a fake bait similar to the shape of a swallow kite, and began to formally train the big black eagle to recognize the bait.
Speaking of it, this bait recognition training is quite simple. It has the same logic as the previous method of identifying rabbits for iron-backed red hawks. The fake bait is associated with food. After each whistle, , they all took off the eagle’s hat, and then let the big black eagle eat the meat prepared in advance on the fake bait.
During the process of identifying the bait, the big black hawk had no reaction to the fake bait at first, but after eating on the fake bait several times, he slowly realized that this fake bait It is also related to eating. After slowly adapting to the existence of the fake bait, when taking off the hat and blowing the whistle, the big black hawk will already take the initiative to look for something to eat at the location of the meat on the back of the fake bait.
In almost half a month, the big black eagle completed the bait recognition training under Yue Feng’s deliberate training.
Since acquiring this Gyrfalcon, Yue Feng has focused most of his thoughts and attention on this eagle. During this period, he took his brothers up the mountain for another roundup and harvested one roe deer and one wild boar. , the usual daily afternoon delivery did not fall behind.
The big Black Eagle at this moment weighs 3.3 kilograms after coming out of the axle in the morning. Even if he takes off his hat and squats on someone's hand, his reaction is similar to that of the already mature Milk Eagle.
At a quick glance, the jet-black feathers were fluffed into a big ball. The gray wolf and several puppies were playing and playing under the kang, but the big black eagle showed no reaction.
In fact, according to the training performance of Big Black Eagle, Yue Feng felt that he could take the next step long ago, but God was not kind to him. In the past few days, the northeast wind had been howling every day.
After another two days, the weather finally improved for a few days. The wind stopped and it was a rare sunny day in the Northeast.
Yue Feng has been waiting for this day for a long time. He is still under the big black eagle who controls his diet and weight every day. After Yue Feng's training during this period, his body is still strong, but every day when he is off the shaft, he is still strong. The amount of meat fed is not enough to fully satisfy the bird, so the big black eagle is always hungry.
The weather was good that day, so Yue Feng called Xiao Tao and went to the large rice field in the north of the village where the production team had finished their autumn harvest.
This land is considered to be the most flat land in Fang'an Village. Standing in the center of the land and looking around, you can see that it is surrounded by flat plains and is at least several miles away from the nearest woodland at the foot of the mountain.
Yue Feng handed the cowhide gloves to Xiao Tao, and then asked him to hold the big black eagle with his hat on.
"Xiao Tao, I will ask you to take off your hat later, just take off your hat! Then let go of the two cards in your hand! Do you understand?" Yue Feng warned in advance. Xiao Tao was stunned after hearing this: "Just spread it out twice? Why don't you put a string on the eagle? What if you spread it out twice and the eagle flies away directly?"
< br>
It's not surprising that Xiao Tao was confused. When he was training the eagle before, he had to train a distance of thirty to fifty meters before pinching the string. Only when the eagle was straight enough would he consider going to the ground to pinch the string. Become an eagle.
But this big black eagle was in the hands of Yue Feng, and he never called Liuzi seriously. He just pinched the string so recklessly. Whether the eagle flew away or not, the initiative rested entirely in the eagle's own hands. If the big black hawk wants to fly, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao have no reciprocal countermeasures!
After hearing this, Yue Feng grinned: "Just do whatever you are told. I'm not sure, can I take the eagle out to the fields? Just follow what I said, and wait until the other things are done. Keep studying! Just stop shouting and don't scare the eagle!"
"Okay! Let's talk about it first, don't rely on me if the eagle is gone!"
"It's not your fault! Just do as I say, be prepared, don't make a mistake because of nervousness!"
"Oh!"
After receiving Xiao Tao's response, Xiao Tao did not move. Yue Feng carried the artificial bait that he usually feeds the eagle every day and walked out more than 20 meters away.
Waiting for Yue Feng to reach his preset position, he then greeted Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, take off your hat and scatter!"
Xiao Tao did as he was told, and Yue Feng immediately blew the whistle. Whistle.
The whistle is the signal for feeding. More than half a month of conditioned reflex strengthening has already implanted the sound of the whistle into the head of the big black eagle.
After taking off his hat, the big black hawk first adjusted its pupils slightly to adapt to the light outside, and then immediately looked towards the location where the whistle came from.
I saw this big black hawk nodding its head up and down frequently, its feathers all fluffy and still in a relatively relaxed state.
Yue Feng continued to whistle and at the same time unveiled the bait in his hand.
I saw the big black hawk lift its tail, excrete a small piece of cake, and then fly towards the artificial bait in Yue Feng's hand without hesitation.
Should I say it or not, a gyrfalcon is a gyrfalcon. The speed of its horizontal flight is really astonishing. Even if it is currently in the state of training to control fat, its flight speed and attitude are still unrivaled.
The straight-line distance was less than thirty meters. Almost as soon as he took off, he was in front of Yue Feng in an instant.
At the same time as the big black eagle flew over, Yue Feng flicked his fingers and loosened a piece of rope wrapped around his fingers. The bait instantly fell from his fingertips to the air thirty or forty centimeters above the ground. Location.
The big black hawk knows that if it blows the whistle, there will be meat on the bait, so the first goal of flying over is to catch the bait.
Seeing that the artificial bait did not fall to the ground, the big black hawk accelerated and flew over as if a small stone made a small 'float' against the water surface.
At this juncture, Yue Feng grabbed the right arm of the lure and decisively swung it to the right and rear side. The lure with pheasant wings sewn on both sides moved gracefully through an arc, which was worthy of being Kan dodged the first straight dive attack of the big black eagle.
The blow failed to catch the target. After flying more than ten meters, the big black hawk turned around three or four meters in the air, and then rushed towards the bait in Yue Feng's hand.
Yue Feng saw the right opportunity and swung the bait again at the critical moment. The big black eagle missed again.
Back and forth, the big black hawk launched at least seven or eight rounds of 'attacks' at the bait, but Yue Feng easily dodged them.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Tao, who stood there without daring to move, was a little dumbfounded.
What kind of gameplay is this? The big black eagle, which has never been on the ground before and has never called far away, took off its hat and let go for the first time, and actually played a game of catching fake bait with Brother Feng?
Every time Yue Feng swung the fake bait to avoid the big black hawk's attack, he also kept a close eye on the overall performance of the big black hawk flying in the air, turning around, and charging towards him to attack.
For example, whether the flight speed has decreased, whether the will to recognize the bait is firm enough, whether there are any signs of preparation for landing after continuous frustration and failed attacks, etc.
What makes Yue Feng very satisfied is that this big black eagle is indeed a blackened version of the Gyrfalcon. Hai Dongqing, known as the most handsome man in the world, has long physical strength, perfect flying posture, and the will to chase the bait and recognize the bait. He was also determined enough to fly through the air again and again without any intention of giving up due to frustration.
Yue Feng played with the big black hawk for about three minutes. When the big black hawk flew over again to catch the fake bait, Yue Feng deliberately missed a loophole and slowed down the bait swing by half. Shoot, and then be firmly grasped by the big black hawk.
There was only a muffled sound as the big black eagle grabbed the fake bait with its sharp talons and slowly landed on the ground.
When Yue Feng saw this, he whistled and slowly walked to the big black eagle.
After three minutes of high-intensity flying for the first time in the outdoor bait-throwing attack training, the big black eagle neither panted heavily nor appeared very tired. After landing on the fake bait, he immediately lowered his head and faced the normal direction. Find where the meat is tied.
After finding the meat, he immediately started to eat it, tearing it apart in big mouthfuls, and soon ate half of the day's ration of meat into his stomach.
The big black eagle is now in a much more miserable state than when it was living in the wild. It only eats the fresh breast meat of the half-and-half chicken.
Yue Feng waved to Xiao Tao, and soon Xiao Tao came up and gave Yue Feng the cowhide gloves and eagle hat.
Yue Feng blew the whistle again, and as if by magic, a roll of bird feather meat rolls that had been prepared in advance appeared in his hand.
The big black eagle jumped into Yue Feng's hand without hesitation, then took the meat roll and swallowed it.
Just like that, in Yue Feng's hands, the remaining half of the day's ration was eaten into his stomach.
After finishing the last piece of meat, Yue Feng blew the whistle and easily put the hat on the head of the big black eagle.
Not long ago, the big black eagle was tumbling in the low altitude and flexing its energy wantonly. After the hat was placed on its head, its feathers immediately relaxed again. Yue Feng gently touched its talons and tail. Black Eagle also behaved very submissively. As for the way he put on his hat when he got home and tried to frighten others when he touched it, it had already been worn away by the day and night fighting that lasted for half a month.
"Brother, you are so amazing! If I remember correctly, this big black hawk has never screamed from far away, has it? How could it be so stable when it was untied for the first time! We had no restrictions at all just now , It can escape immediately if it wants to fly, why doesn’t the big black eagle run away?”
Xiao Tao witnessed the whole process of Yue Feng using artificial bait to swipe bait for the big black eagle outdoors from beginning to end. The performance of the big black eagle was quite unexpected. To be serious, the scene just now had a direct impact on his personal understanding of eagle training.
The process of training a falcon is actually more detailed than what is written in the article. Many details are explained, but the general direction is fine. You can just expand your horizons and take a casual look. But don't do it.
Birds of prey are at least second-level protected animals in the country and are not allowed to be domesticated privately. You must have enough respect for national laws.
