As the farmer said, this is a relatively famous competition in Oceania, called the Parrot Talking Competition, but not only parrots, but all kinds of birds can participate in the competition, imitating human speech, just for fun.
The southern hemisphere is rich in bird resources, so it is not surprising that such inexplicable activities occur. The scale of this activity is not small, and almost all countries in Oceania participate.
Australia, the Republic of Nauru, the Republic of Vanuatu, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Kingdom of Tonga, New Zealand, Tuvalu, the Republic of Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, the Republic of Fiji, Samoa, the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, the Republic of Palau, etc., of course New Zealand is indispensable.
The last competition was held in the Republic of Fiji. This time it is New Zealand's turn. It will be held in Queenstown at the end of August, almost a month away.
This competition is very popular, with first, second and third prizes. There is also a Best Rookie Award, which comes with medals and bonuses. The first prize bonus is not low, it is 100,000 US dollars. No wonder so many people pay attention to it.
The reason why there is a Best Rookie Award is because there are only a few good parrots, so they are the ones who win the prize in the end. In order to keep the competition fresh, this award was set up.
The champions of previous competitions have alternated with each other. A compatriot of a military commander has won two championships in the past five years, both with African gray parrots. In addition, there are blue-capped Amazon parrots and Cuban Amazon parrots that have won awards.
After reading the introduction, Lao Wang decided to participate. The bonus was not much, but it could make him famous. The competition attracted a lot of attention, and he had not been to Queenstown yet.
After lunch, it was leisure time in the afternoon. A group of farmers had nothing to do, so they held a target shooting competition.
New Zealand has no shortage of woods. Behind Mondo's farm is a pine forest. The pine trees he used to surround the farm were transplanted from the forest.
Wang Bo was also convinced. These farmers opened the car and actually pulled out a gun from under the car seat!
He was going crazy. He pulled these people and said, "You, you carry a gun with you? Oh my God, you carry a gun with you? Do you have a gun license? Do you have a document to transfer the gun?"
Immediately, someone said with disdain: "Freedom! Man, we are in New Zealand, we must have armed freedom! Don't worry about those damn rules, they are just used by managers to fool the people!"
Someone else said: "That's right, there are no police here anyway."
"I am the police." Lao Wang really wanted to say this.
Robbo came over and asked, "You don't have a gun?"
Wang Bo was silent for a moment, then walked back to the car and took out the Glock from the sand tray, raised it and said, "I have a pistol."
The people around him stared at him and gave him a thumbs up:
"Man, you have a bad nose!" "I like you, you are such a fierce man!" "You dare to come out with a pistol, are you okay with your mind?"
The nature of being caught moving outside the home with a long gun or a pistol is different. In New Zealand, long guns are classified as safety weapons and pistols are classified as offensive weapons.
Many people don’t understand that pistols are not as powerful as long guns, so why are the regulations stricter? Will the punishment be more severe if caught
Because pistols are easy to hide, it is not easy to be discovered when entering public places with a pistol, but long guns cannot be hidden and will be discovered in advance. Therefore, pistols are the more threatening weapon in assault cases.
Wang Bo took out his police badge and hung it on his chest and said, "Look, I am legal."
Seeing him take out his police badge, someone immediately threw the shotgun in his hand to the ground, while Sura hid behind his back and looked very interesting with his eyes averted.
Mundo kicked each of the two people who threw the gun: "Fake, this is the king, our man, you are afraid of a bird!"
The two men quickly picked up their guns again: "Yes, yes, this is not a police inquiry."
The activity is very simple, just set up a directional control or a moving target. There are a lot of wine bottles on the farm. Mondo led people to collect them and put them on a small wall only as high as a person's shoulder.
Wang Bo watched from the sidelines. It was a bit like in foreign TV series. Everyone was punching wine bottles from a distance of 20 meters.
The distance of twenty meters may sound short, but in fact, it is not too short for shooting wine bottles. Wang Bo felt that the wine bottles were not much bigger.
Luo Bo asked him to take two shots first. Wang Bo waved his hand modestly: "You play first, you play first, let me see, I don't know the rules yet."
"There are no rules. Just don't use a shotgun and go beyond this line. You can do whatever you want. For example, you can lie down and shoot, you can jump up and shoot, or you can walk and shoot."
Wang Bo coughed and walked over with the pistol in his hand.
Hani also coughed and whispered: "Boss, bend your legs. Yes, the front legs are bent and the back legs are bent. This makes it easier to aim."
Lao Wang had never practiced pistol shooting much. Although this was the first lesson Bowen taught him, he had not practiced it seriously. Long gun shooting was okay.
After taking aim, he took a deep breath: 'Bang bang bang bang! '
Four shots were fired in succession, but the row of bottles remained motionless and the bullets flew to nowhere.
There were whistles all around, and Sura said with a playful smile: "Officer Wang, your professional skills are a bit poor."
Wang Bo looked at what Luo Bo was holding. This was a very popular civilian rifle. It was considered a civilian version of the famous M4 gun. Atulu had one, but he had never used it.
He reached for it, but missed a bottle. He felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'd better try it with a rifle."
"You can't shoot continuously. If you want to scan, you are wrong." Luo Bo said with a smile.
Wang Bodao: "I'll let you see how powerful I am later!"
The eyes, the card slot and the front sight were aligned at three o'clock. After searching for a feeling, he raised his hand and found the beer bottle with his eyes, and gently pulled the trigger with his finger: "Bang!"
"Bang!" Then a bottle exploded.
Wang Bo aimed at the next one: "Bang bang bang bang!"
After a series of shots, he shattered a row of ten wine bottles. Of course, some of the bullets were empty. He refilled the bullets and still broke the bottles.
This time the whistling sounded louder, and there was also sparse applause.
Robbo held his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly, exclaiming: "Wow, cool! I didn't expect you to be a marksman."
Lao Wang said proudly: "My professional skill is actually sniping. If you change it to a sniper rifle for me, I can give you a shot from a hundred meters away!"
There's no tax on bragging, since these people definitely don't have sniper rifles anyway, he can say whatever he wants.
The second person to appear was the host. Someone put the wine bottles back on the table. Mundo raised his shotgun and knocked away a series of wine bottles neatly!
It was Lao Wang's turn to applaud and whistle: "This shooting technique is amazing!" (.)
