"You say this is a bald eagle? Don't lie to me because I don't know much about education. I have seen a bald eagle. Well, in the picture, the bald eagle is very handsome. How can it be so ugly now?" while teasing the inside of his hand. The clown bird, Jiang Hai said to Bell.
"It is really a bald eagle, the national bird of the United States. Our squadron accidentally knocked down a nest before, and this thing was in the nest. Although we later sent the nest back, we were still punished." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Bell said helplessly. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at the bird in front of him. Is this really the national bird of the American emperor
"But at this time, they should have migrated. Why is there still a baby bird here?" Robbins couldn't help but asked strangely, touching his chin.
In fact, every country has its own national symbol animal. For example, in China, the most famous one is naturally the panda, while the most famous one in the United States is the bald eagle. Since 1782, the US emperor passed legislation to determine the bald eagle. After becoming the national bird and symbol of the US empire, the bald eagle's status has always been high in the US empire.
This is the same as the status of pandas in China. Let alone hunting and trading these animals, just destroying their habitat is a big crime, not to mention that Bell and the others once knocked down this bird's nest. .
But as Robbins said, this kind of bird should not be here during this season.
Although bald eagles will nest in rock walls and woods, if they live in nearby waters, they will not move again and will become resident birds. But in fact, these sea eagles can still fly when they should fly. Especially in the northern regions.
More than 95% of the bald eagles in the south will become resident birds, but in the north, most of the bald eagles will become migratory birds and will fly away during the coldest months. Will not return until next spring.
So Robbins was a little surprised. Shouldn't these birds have all flown away? Why is there still a nest with a baby bird in it? This makes Robbins, an old man here, a little puzzled.
Creatures like the bald eagle once faced the threat of extinction, but their extinction was not due to human hunting. After all, their main habitat is in the United States. As the national bird of the United States, Americans rarely go there. Hunt them.
What once made them extinct was everything human beings. With the increase in fishing and logging, their habitats are also constantly decreasing. And most importantly, because they live at the top of the food chain, humans are using them. When poisons such as pesticides are used, they will always end up in their bodies.
In 1782, it was said that there were 100,000 bald eagles in the United States.
But shortly after the end of World War II, in 1963, there were only 417 pairs of bald eagles left in the world.
However, as they recuperated in recent years, the bald eagle was removed from the list of 48 endangered wild animal species in the United States and gradually recovered. By 2003, the number had recovered to 7,660. More than a hundred pairs.
Although it is still not as good as the 100,000 in its heyday, it is not bad.
Another factor that led to the extinction of this bird is that this bird's reproductive ability is very weak. This bird only lays two eggs a year.
However, two bald eagles will not hatch, only two baby birds will hatch. The one born first will eat the one born later as food. This means that a pair of healthy bald eagles will hatch. An eagle couple will only have one child a year.
It takes at least five years for a sea eagle to grow up. Five years is not too much for a bald eagle that can live for thirty years.
But it is far less than the number of dead people, so this is one of the reasons why they are almost extinct.
"I think this bird is probably the first one to hatch. Before winter came, the two big birds had left or were killed. After it hatched, it ate The little bird that hatched later has reached this point." Looking at the little bird, Robbins slowly analyzed it. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at the little bird, this This gray and simple little guy turned out to be a cruel and ruthless person, even his brothers would not be spared.
"Then can I raise him?" After teasing for a while, Jiang Hai thought for a moment and said to Robbins.
"It's up to you, boss. Although this bird is a Class I protected bird under the Washington Convention, as long as you don't sell or kill it, no one will care about you. Of course, you'd better go to the police station. Prepare a case inside." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Robbins shrugged and said with a look of approval. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai suddenly became happy, and now he has no more thoughts of hunting.
Putting the bird into his arms, he urged Robbins and Bell to leave together.
As Robbins said, there is nothing interesting in this woodland here. When he has time, Jiang Hai can go hunting in Alaska or other places. Those places are the fun places, not when he is at home. In this forest.
Now that I have experienced the joy of hunting, it is more important to implement the bald eagle matter.
As a rich man, well, a rich young man, it is inevitable for a hawk and a dog to accompany him when he goes out. Now Jiang Hai has a dog, but no hawk. God has given him one. If he does not continue it well, he will Condemned by God.
Sitting on the snowmobile, Jiang Hai, Robbins, and Bell quickly returned to their manor.
After briefly disposing of other things in the manor, Jiang Hai and the other three drove to the police station in the town.
The police department in a small town actually has quite a lot of responsibility and is responsible for everything. This is why the police in a small town look much better than the police in big cities.
However, these policemen couldn't stand up when they saw Jiang Hai. After all, these guys owed Jiang Hai a favor. If it weren't for Jiang Hai's mercy in the end, they wouldn't even be able to keep their jobs.
So after seeing Jiang Hai's arrival, these policemen were very enthusiastic. The female policeman who interrogated him last time even took the initiative to make him a cup of coffee. But unfortunately, Jiang Hai was not interested in this thing by nature. .
Compared to coffee, he prefers to drink milk. Just like at home, he either drinks beer or milk. He hardly touches the coffee, so he doesn't know whether the coffee here is good or not. He just came to ask about Kitty Eagle. of adoption issues.
The current chief of the police station, Morris-Smith, came personally to help Jiang Hai handle what he needed to handle.
When he learned that Jiang Hai had picked up an abandoned bald eagle in his own forest and wanted to adopt it, the old man started to flatter him, saying that Jiang Hai was caring and so on. Jiang Hai was also Just smile, there’s not much else to say.
What happened next was very simple. I called the people from the pet center and did a personal examination on the little eagle. It was determined that apart from some malnutrition, the little eagle had no other problems. , the police station also awarded Jiang Hai a sign that he could raise wild animals. Only with this thing, he would not be reported by others.
After everything was settled, Jiang Hai declined Morris-Smith's proposal to have dinner together, and returned home with Robbins and Bell. However, after returning, Jiang Hai gave Xiaodiao a bath first, okay? , although after washing it, it still looked gray and plain, and then I fed it a lot of premium beef, and then specially squeezed out a drop of blood and fed it to the little eagle.
Originally, this little eagle had been looking around with fearful eyes since it came into Jiang Hai's hands, and its body was constantly trembling, for fear that behemoths like Jiang Hai would eat it, but after eating it, After soaking in Jiang Hai's blood, it calmed down, and there was a hint of spirituality in its eyes. After rubbing it in Jiang Hai's hand, it fell asleep on Jiang Hai's bed.
Jiang Hai knew that this was the reason why the blood was transforming it. Just like the two dogs at the beginning, didn't they also fall into dormancy after eating Jiang Hai's blood? This little eagle presumably did the same. That’s it.
He deliberately made a nest with some hay and some of his old clothes. After putting the little eagle in, Jiang Hai breathed a sigh of relief and looked back. He was squatting there with his mouth wide open. There was a hint of curiosity in the eyes of the dogs. Jiang Hai smiled softly and patted the heads of the two big dogs.
"This little guy will be our family from now on, so we can't bully it casually!"
After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the two big dogs couldn't help but tilt their heads and glance at Jiang Hai, and then barked loudly.
The little eagle, who was sleeping at this time, couldn't help but move in fear after hearing the cry. Seeing the little eagle's movements, Jiang Hai immediately made a silent gesture to the two dogs, and then looked at Towards the little eagle in the distance.
"Bang." At this moment, there was a sudden sound. Jiang Hai looked back and found that the waist bag he had just taken off had fallen to the ground. At this time, a small hole had been opened in the zipper of the waist bag, and then a A curious little head popped out from the gap in his waist bag, curiously looking at the world in front of him.
It didn't feel anything when it saw Jiang Hai, but when it saw Xiao Hei, it was instantly frightened and crawled back again, and Xiao Hei seemed to have remembered that he, this little guy and Liang Zi , he couldn't help but walked over, opening his mouth and baring his teeth, threatening the little guy who hid in the bag. Only then did Jiang Hai remember that he had brought one of it back.
"Okay, don't scare this little guy." After kicking Xiaobai's butt, Jiang Hai walked over, picked up his pocket bag, and casually pulled the zipper, trying to take out the little guy. But at this moment, this little guy took a bite of it.
