The fan-tailed flycatcher is a very rare bird that is on the verge of extinction in New Zealand. Its population is extremely small and it is a national first-level protected animal.
This kind of bird has a slender body and a tail as round as a cattail fan. Their tail can be folded and unfolded like a peacock. They like to sing at night, and their calls are short, brisk and crisp, so they are very popular.
Fiordland National Park is the most common place to see fan-tailed flycatchers in the South Island. It is rarely seen in other areas. Wang Bo did not expect to have this opportunity during this stay and saw the legendary fan-tailed flycatcher.
For Big Fatty and Fatty, the Fantail Flycatcher is not legendary. They just want to develop these two birds as food.
The reason why rabbit cats hunt so frequently is because they want to be appreciated by their owners. If this is a hunting trip, then Wang Bo will probably award them medals, but this is a leisure trip. You come here to hunt other people’s small animals. What's a bird
Eva wanted to release the two fan-tailed flycatchers. As a result, the two birds cleverly looked up at Big Fatty and Fatty Two, then decisively jumped behind Eva and followed her!
This scene made Wang Bo dumbfounded, and he asked: "What's going on?"
Eva had a wry smile on her pretty face and said, "Do you know why the fan-tailed flycatcher, a bird that likes to make sounds at night and live in deep mountains and dense forests, is on the verge of extinction?"
Wang Bo asked tentatively: "Because they are so delicious, were they captured and exterminated?"
Eva shook her head, and he guessed again: "That's because they are so beautiful, right?"
Eva still shook her head and answered directly: "No, this kind of bird is too weird. In their eyes, there are no species in the world. Do you understand what I mean? They distinguish the same kind not by their appearance, but by their appearance." Its kindliness will make birds feel dependent on it, and they will treat them as the same kind."
Wang Bo's mouth twitched, this bird was really weird.
Eva continued to introduce: "This kind of bird is indeed delicious and beautiful. It used to be the focus of people's capture. But as you know, their living habits determine that it is difficult to capture because they live in deep mountains and cannot be captured during the day. Tai screamed."
"Then, people discovered this habit of it, so bird catchers would go to the place where they live at night and scatter food such as grass seeds and rice grains. After scattering a few times, these stupid birds will think that this is the savior... "
"In the end, they were caught and sold?" Wang Bo asked.
Eva nodded: "After selling it, I will help count the money."
These two silly birds were like this now. They used the beautiful teacher as a protective umbrella and hid behind her. One of them even wanted to fly onto her shoulder.
Eva waved her hand to signal them to leave, but the fantails refused to leave. When they were forced to do so, they chirped and raised their big tails, as if complaining.
Wang Bo was dumbfounded and said, "Is this Stockholm Syndrome among birds?"
Stockholm syndrome, also known as hostage complex or hostage syndrome, is an emotion in which the victim of a crime develops feelings for the offender, and even helps the offender in turn. This emotion causes the victim to develop a liking for, dependence on, and even dependence on the offender. Assist the perpetrator.
Fantails are not purely Stockholm Syndrome, they rely on saviors rather than perpetrators, but they rely in the wrong direction.
Later, Eva and Wang Bo ran away. They tried to get rid of the fantails, but it was useless. This dense forest was the environment where the fantails grew up, and they were extremely familiar. They were flying above the two of them like kites. As soon as the baby stopped, they immediately fell down...
Lao Wang became impatient and said: "Forget it, dear, just adopt them. You can provide better protection and expand their population."
Eva rolled her eyes at him and said: "How can it be that simple? Do you know that one of the national bird protection regulations is that you are not allowed to show favor to the fan-tailed flycatcher? This is to prevent people from taking advantage of this to capture and breed fan-tailed flycatchers. . ”
This regulation is also quite strange, and Lao Wang is speechless.
But they had no other solution. The two fantails seemed to recognize Eva and followed her wherever she went. Even scaring them was useless.
At this point, there is no other choice, Eva can only take them with her for the time being.
So, in the afternoon, when the two of them were walking hand in hand, they each had a rabbit on their shoulders and a fan-tailed flycatcher flying above their heads.
While fishing, two rabbit cats were playing nearby, and two fan-tailed flycatchers were waiting nearby.
When watching the sunset in the evening, these two fan-tailed flycatchers stayed with Eva, leaning on her side docilely, and watched the sunset with them.
The orange light shone on the turbulent sea. Watching the waves lapping at the coastline, Wang Bo hugged Eva and wanted to be gentle. As a result, two fan-tailed flycatchers screamed at him fiercely and flapped their wings to keep her away. Come forward.
Lao Wang blinked, haha, the little one is still rubbing his crotch on his face? "Big Fatty and Two Fatty, come here!"
As soon as the killer fat cat arrived, the fantails immediately became obedient.
The rabbit cat is one of the best killers in nature. Eva said that the fan-tailed flycatchers are very vigilant, but they are still poisoned by them. The reason is that they have thick hair on their legs and abdomen, and they walk silently. It is covert and easy to assassinate.
As soon as it got light in the early morning, Wang Bo and Eva woke up and watched the sunrise while going down the mountain. They were led by two rabbit cats and two fan-tailed flycatchers.
Fortunately, they came down the mountain very early, and the locals were still asleep at this time, otherwise they would be seen carrying the Fan-tailed Flycatcher - want to leave? no way!
Wang Bo put Eva on the helicopter. Fantail Flycatcher did not hesitate and immediately followed in, without worrying about whether the iron lump was in danger.
Seeing this, Lao Wang understood that they deserved to be on the verge of extinction. It was just that they had no brains and no sense of vigilance. How could they live in nature
In fact, the fan-tailed flycatchers are lucky enough to live in New Zealand, a place where no one has arrived until modern times. If they were in Eurasia, their ancestors would have joined the ranks of folk luxury lunches and been eaten up.
After watching Eva leave, Wang Bo set out on the road lightly. He first packed his luggage where he and Eva were camping, and then took the rabbit to chase Leonard and his party.
With the rabbit's excellent sense of smell, it would be easy for him to find the large army.
Leonard and others simply admired him. He was carrying so much luggage and food pots, and he caught up so quickly. He seemed to have no problem with his physical strength. He was simply a humanoid beast.
After catching up with the main force, Wang Bo helped Leonard share the luggage because he didn't have Eva's luggage. He carried it on his back and climbed the mountain leisurely, without any signs of fatigue.
Finally, after climbing to the top of the mountain, a beautiful picture appeared in front of everyone.
Wang Bo browsed the beautiful scenery, opened the sand tray and wanted to get a bottle of drink to quench his thirst. As a result, he saw that the drawing tray turned light green, and it seemed that he could twitch again. (.)
