The snake eagle is a medium to large eagle that eats snakes.
Someone once said that the ancient "drinking poison to quench thirst" was wine soaked in the feathers of snake eagles. When snake eagles prey on venomous snakes, the venom of the venomous snakes may drip onto their feathers, thus making them poisonous. The feathers of snake eagles themselves are non-toxic.
Some people also say that the "鸩" in "鸩 wine" is an extinct bird, not a snake eagle.
Feng Yi didn't care whether it was true or not. Even if the snake eagle had just eaten a poisonous snake and there was poison on its feathers, Feng Yi was not afraid.
He was wondering why the snake eagle behaved like this
At this moment, the snake eagle was still holding his arm, and it showed no sign of letting go.
Feng Yi shook it slightly, but failed to shake it off.
The bird perched on his arm seemed frightened and cried out twice as if dissatisfied, but was reluctant to let go.
Feng Yi swung his arms twice more vigorously, but the eagle failed to shake it off. Instead, the snake eagle hit him several times with its wings. It didn't hurt, but it was a bit annoying.
Feng Yi remembered that when he was at the zoo, the staff told him about snake eagles. Snake eagles don't like people nearby when they hunt, because they not only have to guard against attacks from venomous snakes, but also have to be on guard against their surroundings. That's why when a field expedition team was discovered while secretly filming snake eagles catching snakes, the snake eagles would often simply give up on their target.
What Feng Yi wants is for it to give up its target!
So Feng Yi looked around, and then walked towards the five people. He stood on the eagle's arm and moved closer to the five people.
Seeing this, the leader took a big step back with great agility and raised his hand to make a "stop" gesture.
"Alright, stop testing me! Forget it this time! Let's go our separate ways and not interfere with each other! There's no need to be so serious about something as trivial as a seat. Just keep sitting, and we promise not to come over today!"
Something happened at the flower and tree market recently, which seemed to have alerted certain departments. It is said that there will be another severe crackdown, but they are not stupid enough to run into trouble.
Nowadays, if you don’t have some knowledge, you’d be embarrassed to hang around on the streets. Otherwise, you’ll end up in jail in less than a week. The dumber ones won’t even know what they’ve done wrong when they’re put in jail.
They really didn't expect that this kid could actually use wild birds of prey!
So vicious!
Are you trying to send us all to jail
I'll report him as soon as I turn the corner!
You can also get bonuses!
The leader thought to himself: If I report it in person, I'm worried that this guy will try to scam me. The wisest thing to do is to wait until we can't see him, and then ask someone for a video as evidence. There's someone filming on the upper floor of the small building not far away, and we know that person, so we can go and get the video later.
Feng Yi looked at the five people again, then chose one of them and walked towards that side.
The young man targeted by Feng Yi wanted to run back when he saw Feng Yi coming with the eagle, but he bumped into a tree when he turned around, and the phone in his pocket slipped and fell to the ground. He paused in his escape and wanted to squat down to pick up the phone, but at this time Feng Yi was almost in front of him.
The man didn't bother to pick up his phone. He stared at Feng Yi and the snake sculpture on his arm with a look of horror on his face: "I'm warning you! Don't come over here! If you come over again, I'll have to take emergency shelter!"
They also understand that when personal safety is endangered, there is no need to bear legal responsibility for moderate defense or negligence that causes the death or injury of protected animals.
But! Unless it is necessary, none of them is willing to take this approach!
I don’t know if it was because it was close to people, but the snake eagle holding Feng Yi’s arm flapped its wings again.
Feng Yi knew that it was indeed a little frightened, but it just didn't let go.
But the others didn't know the truth and regarded this as a deterrent. They also became more and more convinced that this snake eagle was domesticated by Feng Yi and that it was approaching in preparation for an attack.
Seeing Feng Yi approaching, the man continued to shrink back, his entire back pressed tightly against the tree, "I really need to take emergency shelter! I need to call the police! Shout for help!! Ahhh—"
He looked like he wanted to shout until his throat hurt.
He turned his head to the side and didn't dare to look. While shouting, he waved his arms and tried his best to create a defensive net in front of him.
Just as he was howling with all his might, he suddenly felt a lightness on his head.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the hat that was originally on his head was already in Feng Yi's hand.
The other four people who were planning to come over to help also stopped in their tracks. They had just seen with their own eyes Feng Yi take the hat off the man's head with lightning speed.
With their hand speed, if they really fight, they may not end up in an easy win.
Feng Yi looked at the hat in his hand and was quite satisfied. He had just compared the hats worn by three of the five people, and this man's hat was the newest and cleanest, and not green.
Feng Yi raised the hat in his hand and said, "I'll take it. It's compensation for mental damage."
Five people:"???"
Alpaca!
So shameless!
Who suffered greater mental loss
However, the five people were too angry to say anything. At this moment, they just hoped that the man with the eagle would leave quickly! They accepted the defeat this time!
Feng Yi put the hat on his head, pressed down the brim, and searched for the nearest police station.
It doesn’t seem far, just walk over there.
If the bird was startled by a passerby on the way, he would turn around and go back.
The arm was stretched out like this. If he put his arm away and it still didn't leave, Feng Yi guessed that it would most likely stand on his head.
Feng Yi thought to himself, when he gets back, he will learn how to catch raptors from Chef Xiao Bing! Next time he encounters something similar, he will solve it himself!
The snake eagle stared at Feng Yi for a moment and suddenly pecked at him.
Feng Yi didn't even move his eyes to the side, but raised his phone to block it.
After a while, peck again!
Block it again!
The sharp beak pecked at the back of the phone, making a clicking sound.
The snake eagle showed aggression, but not strongly, more like a test.
Perhaps it was because Feng Yi acted too calmly and didn't even look towards the snake eagle, so people who saw this scene on the road thought that Feng Yi was playing with the snake eagle.
“There was loving interaction.”
A passerby took pictures and expressed his feelings, then took out his cell phone to call the police.
Without a "Falconry Breeding License", falconry training and falconry hunting are prohibited, and individual applications are not accepted at this time.
Illegal hunting, killing, or illegal purchase, transportation, and sale of any precious and endangered wild animal under state protection is a crime.
In their opinion, the man wearing a mask and hat not far away was very suspicious!
It doesn't look like it has a domestication certificate at first glance!
To put it another way, even if you have the certificate, it is not good to bring the sculpture out like this.
However, they did not call the police in the end because they saw the man with the sculpture walking towards the police station.
At this time, there were not many people near the river bank, and the police station was close, so they arrived quickly. During this time, the eagle pecked, stamped its feet, and flapped its wings, pestering the bird.
After spending some time inside, Feng Yi finally came out.
The snake eagle will be professionally inspected by people from the Wildlife Rescue and Research Center to see if there are any other problems. It will also prove Feng Yi's innocence and prove that the eagle was not domesticated by him.
Of course, Feng Yi can gain the trust of the police because he not only has a high score, but also has an appraiser qualification certificate issued by the Joint Guarantee Bureau. Relatively speaking, people with high scores and an appraisal qualification certificate certified by the Joint Guarantee Bureau are less likely to illegally domesticate wild protected animals.
The video of Feng Yi leading the eagle quickly went viral on the Internet, and although his appearance could not be seen clearly because he was wearing a mask and a hat, the snake eagle was recognized.
As a national second-class protected animal, this is a relatively sensitive topic. The self-media deliberately started a trend to cut traffic, but the official soon released an explanation, saying that after professional identification, this snake eagle was not domesticated, but just attached to him. The person in the video is an expert in identifying snakes and products, and may have smelled like snakes. After being attached, he could only go to the nearby police for help.
After seeing the official explanation, there was another wave of "Hahahaha" on the Internet, and people regarded this as stupid news.
Some people question the snake eagle's sense of smell. Can it really smell something from such a long distance while flying in the air? Even vultures and other scavengers can do this, but can snake eagles do it
Also, even if there was the scent of a snake, would a snake eagle attack such a large target
However, the official account of Yangcheng Wildlife Rescue Center later stated that experts had identified it as a wild snake eagle, and follow-up investigations after its release showed that it lived in the mountains and forests in the far suburbs of Yangcheng, and usually hovered in the suburbs and marginal areas.
The behavior of the snake eagle in the video does not seem to show hatred or strong aggression, so there should not be any bloody grudges between humans and eagles.
There were many different opinions on the Internet, but Feng Yi didn't pay attention to them. He had already got on the bus and went back.
The arm that was grabbed by the snake eagle had several holes in the clothes, all scratched by its sharp claws. However, the arm was not injured, only a few shallow marks on the surface, but they would disappear soon.
These are all the results of physical changes.
After arriving home, Feng Yi immediately went to find the housekeeper. He had too many questions about what happened today.
The housekeeper had already learned about the general situation online, but he still listened to Feng Yi's story. When Feng Yi was telling the story, he focused on describing his emotional changes and physical condition.
After hearing this, the housekeeper pondered for a moment and said, "At your current stage of development, when you are emotionally excited, you may emit some auras that may cause cognitive impairment in them."
"Could these scents affect the vision of birds of prey? Their sense of smell shouldn't be strong, right?" Feng Yi was puzzled.
He knew that most birds of prey had very good eyesight, but as for their sense of smell, except for a few species that were famous for their strong sense of smell, he didn't know about the others, and there might be great differences among animals of the same family.
The steward said: "The sense of smell of most birds has degenerated, but this degeneration may also be due to the limited smells they can distinguish. Some special smells may not be inaudible, and may even have a greater impact."
Feng Yi thought about it and it was true. The deterioration of the sense of smell might not be a complete deterioration. Maybe it was really sensitive to certain smells
Let’s put aside for now the fact that the snake sculpture was affected by the aura and had cognitive impairment.
Feng Yi told the housekeeper about his emotional fluctuations at that time.
He was very concerned about this. If the snake sculpture had not appeared at that time, he might have overreacted due to the sudden strong negative emotions.
"That kind of physical condition and negative emotional fluctuations are not normal. Does this mean that the animal nature has become stronger? What should I do?" Feng Yi worried.
The butler's expression was odd for a moment, as if he wanted to laugh but was forcing himself to hold it back. Then he said in his usual calm and elegant tone:
"This is not animality, this is your late awakening temper."
