The little red-crowned crane has entered its rebellious period.

He wants to peck at everything he sees.

Xu Yang consulted with the staff of the Red-crowned Crane Conservation Center and learned about the temperament of the red-crowned crane.

Young red-crowned cranes prefer fighting, and it is a necessary process that can exercise the strength of the body and mouth.

Especially when two red-crowned cranes of similar age meet, they would gesture to each other.

Of course, they don't hurt or kill each other, they just fight.

As they grow older, the red-crowned cranes become more aloof.

Xu Yang found the habits of the red-crowned crane quite interesting.

Staff from the Red-crowned Crane Conservation Center suggested:
"If there is only one red-crowned crane, it may have an adverse effect on its growth."

"After all, it has to learn group behavior and fight with its companions to grow."

"So, I suggest you bring the red-crowned crane to the conservation center so we can train it well."

“It can help it grow better.”

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Yang began to think about it seriously.

What the other party said makes sense.

It is not conducive to the growth of red-crowned cranes if individuals separate from the population.

The red-crowned cranes are now at the age when they love to fight and need to grow.

So Xu Yang responded:

"That's it."

"Then can I apply for three more little red-crowned cranes from the conservation center?"

"It's about two months old."

"This is a protection center, and we will take good care of them."

Staff of Red-crowned Crane Conservation Center: ?????

what?
You and the conservation center want birds?

Rebel against Tiangang?

People always bring injured or lone red-crowned cranes to the protection center for protection.

Who would ask the protection center for cubs, not to mention three?

The face is too big.

The staff of the protection center responded:

"There's nothing we can do about this. I have to consult my superiors."

“We can’t decide.”

Hearing this, Xu Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'm just asking."

Xu Yang really started to think about it.

Raising a red-crowned crane is not that easy. For example, when it is one month old, you have to use your fingers to guide it to drink the water in the basin or eat the food in the basin.

Moreover, the red-crowned cranes are not given a bath in the first two months. They can only be bathed after they play in the water by themselves.

Another thing is that you need to pay close attention to the mental state of the red-crowned cranes in the first three months. They should get enough exercise every day and be careful not to get sick.

After three months of persistence, the survival rate of red-crowned cranes will be greatly increased.

Xu Yang took the words of the protection center staff to heart.

Need to find it a companion.

Xu Yang took a look at the situation in the yard.

The little red-crowned crane is following behind Little Black and Little Wolf. This guy has no one of his kind, so he should not think of himself as a dog.

So Xu Yang immediately contacted the people from the Forestry Bureau.

This kind of thing is nothing more than helping each other, as long as it is reasonable and legal.

Xu Yang agreed to participate in a publicity campaign organized by the Forestry Bureau and serve as a publicity ambassador for forest fire prevention.

Then he proposed the idea of ​​raising three more red-crowned cranes.

Three were rejected, but the proposal to raise one more was passed.

After all, Xu Yang's farm has space, veterinarians, and is responsible for animal protection, so it can raise red-crowned cranes.

Besides, farmed red-crowned cranes are not that precious. The one Xu Yang is raising now is a real wild red-crowned crane, which is precious.

So, after some coordination, Xu Yang was invited to visit and study at the Red-crowned Crane Conservation Center.

Take a little red-crowned crane with you.

When the employee of the protection center who had contacted Xu Yang heard the news, he was stunned.

No, did he really ask the conservation center for the bird?
Still successful?

Did the higher-ups invite him over?
Is it so outrageous?

Employees can only sigh:
"Could this man be Gao Qiqiang from Changbai Mountain? Is he a man who knows both the black and white worlds?"

Xu Yang brought the little red-crowned crane to the protection center.

There is a yard here where young red-crowned cranes are raised.

The keeper Yang Fei was in charge of the explanation, and there were two leaders from the protection center and several other people next to him.

The two guys were holding SLR cameras and taking pictures from various angles.

Leaders have always liked this kind of thing that allows them to appear in the news and show their faces.

Xu Yang is so popular now, so he will naturally be treated preferentially.

Xu Yang also placed the little red-crowned crane he raised in the yard.

He named the little red-crowned crane he raised "Liuzi".

Because I picked it up in June.

As soon as Liuzai landed on the ground, his eyes were fixed on another little red-crowned crane not far away.

The other party was also unconvinced and stared at it.

Both guys were covered in brown hair, like two roasted chickens without wings. They must have been fighting, and they walked towards each other immediately.

Xu Yang watched with interest.

The tour guide nearby explained:

"Young red-crowned cranes usually get along well with each other, but occasionally they fight. If they do, you need to keep an eye on them and separate them in time."

"When they are three months old, the young red-crowned cranes will become mature and their fighting behavior will decrease."

"Director Xu's red-crowned crane is two months old, which is the age when it loves to fight the most."

As he was talking, Liuzai had already gotten close to a red-crowned crane. They puffed out their chests, chest to chest, as if they were trying to see who was taller and had bigger pectoral muscles.

The two guys started pecking at each other's wings again.

Seeing this, the keeper hurriedly pulled them apart. In the process of pulling them apart, the two little red-crowned cranes pecked at the keeper's hands.

At this time, the red-crowned cranes are attacking indiscriminately.

Fortunately, they don't have much strength and their beaks are relatively blunt, so pecking people only hurts a little and doesn't break the skin or anything.

"This little red-crowned crane is pretty good."

“Can I take it with me?”

Xu Yang asked.

The keeper looked at it and responded:

"That's right, we have six two-month-old red-crowned cranes here."

"Red-crowned cranes are raised separately because when they are young, three-month-old cranes will bully two-month-old ones, and two-month-old cranes will bully one-month-old ones."

"Of the six two-month-old red-crowned cranes, five had mothers and could not be taken away."

"There is only one orphan. The mother red-crowned crane passed away. You can raise this one."

The keeper grabbed the little red-crowned crane that was fighting with Liuzi, took a look at it, and then said:

"Forehead"

"This is it. It's the red-crowned crane that's prepared for you to be raised on the farm."

Hearing this, Xu Yang was also happy.

Liuzai is quite picky.

Just picked an opponent to go back.

"Okay, this is it. I'll keep it."

"I have also been trained, and there is a veterinarian on the farm, and the environment is good."

"no problem."

Xu Yang replied with a smile.

The next step is to accompany the tour.

It is said that the leader accompanies him, but in fact, he is the one accompanying the leader.

After walking around and taking a group photo, today's activities were over.

Then, Xu Yang took the two little red-crowned cranes back to the farm.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we got back.

The farm remains the same.

The animals are all playing their own games, but they can be seen everywhere.

The yard was swept very clean.

When Xu Yang appeared, the dogs all surrounded him.

Xu Yang ignored them and walked back to the yard and placed the two red-crowned cranes on the lawn.

The dogs followed him back, lying beside Xu Yang and guarding him.

Xu Yang released the two little red-crowned cranes and prepared water and food for them.

Xu Yang named the new red-crowned crane "Qizi".

Liuzai and Qizai, two brown and yellow red-crowned cranes that look like little roasted chickens.

They first drank some water and ate two bites of food.

Then, the two guys started to press their chests together again.

Push each other hard.

Xu Yang watched from the side.

As long as they don't peck at each other, it means they are not getting angry with each other, and you can let them fight for a while.

Once they start pecking each other, they will have to separate.

At night, the two little guys also sleep separately, each in their own cage.

The cage is for protection. After all, you never know what animals might sneak in at night.

The two little guys were battling in the yard. At this time, the tabby cat climbed to the top of the wall again, poking its head out, and observed carefully.

Secret observation
Cats and cats
This scene can be made into an emoticon.

From a cat's perspective, the little red-crowned crane does look delicious.

There is more meat, the meat is tender, and there are not so many feathers.

Xu Yang noticed this, turned around, looked at the tabby cat Sang Biao, and said:

"Sang Biao, what are you looking at? You can't eat this."

"Did you know that these two are first-class protected animals?"

"And you're just a kitten."

Hearing this, the tabby cat knew it had been discovered, so it stopped pretending and climbed directly onto the top of the wall.

It gathered its four little paws together, wrapped them with its tail, then squatted down and took a rest on the top of the wall.

The two little red-crowned cranes were still fighting. They stood on tiptoe, trying to be taller than each other.

When Xu Yang saw that it was almost time, he separated the two little guys.

One in each hand.

They are both two-month-old babies and are quite active.

By the time they are three months old, although they still have brown hair, they are at least more mature and less aggressive.

And as the two little red-crowned cranes continue to grow, they will become more mature and gradually become more aloof.

Xu Yang looked at the two noisy red-crowned crane cubs and recalled the elegant posture of the adult red-crowned cranes in his mind.

Very inconsistent.

All I can say is that birds change a lot as they grow bigger, and they change too fast.

"If you two hadn't been named wrongly, you would have almost become the national bird."

“It is now also the provincial bird of Jilin.”

"They are all totem-level birds, so just be quiet."

Xu Yang comforted the two little guys.

The two little red-crowned cranes, one in Xu Yang's left hand and the other in Xu Yang's right hand, looked at each other and kept sticking their heads out as if they wanted to peck each other.

It seems that no one is willing to give in to anyone else.

Xu Yang hurriedly pulled them apart.

They all have bad tempers.

Looking at them, Xu Yang found it hard to believe that they would become cool and elegant in the future. (End of this chapter)
