Those Years I Opened a Zoo

Chapter 136: Parrot(s) learn tongue

Views:

As the director of the zoo, Duan Jiaze's exposure rate was high or low.

It was the animals that were booming, but he was the head of the garden, and he always followed when he appeared on the news. Everyone also likes to hear about Ledao's relationship with Lu Ya. As a young zoo director, netizens and tourists still like to make jokes about him.

Recently, Duan Jiaze's appearance rate is a bit high, also because of the animals around him.

It has been reported before that Lingyuan Wildlife Park cooperates with Donghai Forestry Bureau to raise rescued rare parrots and hatch parrot eggs. Those parrots don't have the ability to survive in the wild, so now they all live in Lingyuan.

Because there are so many parrots in an instant, Lingyuan has opened up a special area for parrots, but currently only the nineteen rescued parrots and their adoptive parents—the original parrots of Lingyuan live in it. The other 50 parrots born in Lingyuan are still living with the "parent birds" and learning life skills.

For example, blue-purple macaws usually take half a year to a year before they can leave their parents and live independently. After all, the lifespan of a parrot is so long, it is already very good to live independently at this age.

Recently, the parrots who had just learned to fly often followed Duan Jiaze when Lu Ya was away. As a result, when Duan Jiaze appeared, it was often colorful.

The fifty parrots included at least thirty parrot species, big and small, colorful, and some particularly gorgeous ones, which made it difficult for Duan Jiaze to go out for a stroll these days, otherwise all the tourists would stare at him.

But the topic about him and his parrots has attracted some attention, which makes people feel that he is indeed a local bird trainer.

These parrots had their own rooms, but because Lingyuan didn't close them, they would squat at the door of Duan Jiaze or Lu Ya early in the morning. As soon as Duan Jiaze opened his mouth, these parrots rushed to occupy the positions on his shoulders and on top of his head.

Duan Jiaze was still sleepy, feeling a heavy weight on his head and shoulders, holding his mobile phone in his hand and telling: "Who shit on my shoulder yesterday, don't squat today."

As the blue-purple macaw that was the first to break its shell among the fifty eggs, the second child, Xiao Zi—corresponding to the blue-purple macaw named Xiaolan among the nineteen eggs—is about to have a gray-green macaw on Duan Jiaze's left shoulder. The parrot, which was also its eleventh younger sister, slapped away and squeezed up by itself.

Eleven let out a cry of reluctance. Seeing that Xiao Zi was indifferent, he paused for a moment and then opened his mouth and began to yell "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

Duan Jiaze almost staggered. The parrot's ability to imitate is too strong. On the 11th, it learned how to call a tiger, except that the sound is not so loud, it really looks like it.

But Xiao Zi is not inferior either, it knows that it was called by Eleven, and squatting on Duan Jiaze's shoulder, it imitates Lu Ya's call to Eleven...

Duan Jiaze: "..."

Eleven and one excited, I was really scared.

Duan Jiaze said helplessly: "Don't be like Lu Ya, let him hear it later."

Xiao Zi yelled a few times triumphantly, but she didn't know if she heard it or not.

These parrots are only three months old. They have just learned how to fly, and their ability to imitate is also emerging. It is the most naughty time. Duan Jiaze went to the cafeteria to eat, and as soon as he opened the lunch box, a little blue macaw, which was smaller than his brothers and sisters, flew into the lunch box, squatted inside, and innocently looked up at Duan Jiaze.

"Go, go." Duan Jiaze turned the lunch box over, and the little blue macaw flapped its wings and flew onto the dining table.

"Oh oh—" The employee who was eating at the dining table tried to reach out to touch the little parrot, but was pecked by it, and then flew away again.

The employees were disappointed to see their beautiful figures hovering over the cafeteria. These parrots seemed to be only intimate with the human beings who hatched them, which was also correct, but they were very disappointed with the director Xiu's frequent closeness.

These birds are all brought by land pressure, how can they be so easy to touch. Duan Jiaze thought in his heart.

Xiao Su stared at Duan Jiaze, and he walked towards the window, followed by a string of small tails. Duan Jiaze didn't let them fly around the room just now, for fear that their feathers or dust from their bodies would fall into other people's food, so, These parrots walk on the ground one by one.

Xiao Su propped her chin and said in a trance: "God, give me the same ability as the head of the garden, I also want to raise a large group of obedient parrots."

The person next to him said: "Then you either know how to incubate eggs yourself, or there is someone who can incubate eggs like Brother Lu..."

The person fell silent at this point, anyway, everyone understands what follows.

All the employees at the table laughed secretly.

Xiao Su raised her mobile phone: "I'd better take a few more animations. Recently, netizens really want to see the director and his parrots."

If Xiao Su didn't show more animations, they would have to lie in ambush to take pictures.

These parrots have not yet joined the live broadcast scope. If you want to see this scene, you can only rely on the official blog to post pictures from time to time, and—

Lu Ya's live broadcast moment.

"I also think that I'm too kind to birds..." Duan Jiaze was feeding Luya fruit with a spoon, complaining, "But isn't this what you asked for? Now I feel too spoiled?"

He participated in Lu Ya's live broadcast as usual, and just after writing his work notes, he was about to eat an apple, but the barrage inexplicably brought the rhythm, asking him to give Lu Ya some too.

Duan Jiaze found a spoon, scooped up the pulp and fed it to Lu Ya.

At the beginning, Lu Ya was more majestic in front of netizens. Standing on the table, he became paralyzed unconsciously, leaning on the cloth drawer box and opening his mouth to wait for the apples to be fed.

Duan Jiaze imagined his posture in human form, and felt a little unsightly.

For the little parrots, they should be doing the training of Lu Ya's arrangement in the room, but they finished it ahead of schedule today, so Duan Jiaze did not feed the birds for a while, and when he was chatting with netizens, the window that was half opened because Lu Ya came in, he would do it again. A blue-purple parrot flew in.

This was just the beginning, and netizens cheered when they saw a blue and purple macaw flying in. Only about five seconds later, the second parrot also flew in.

[The counting gentleman is online!]

[2]

[3, 4]

[50! The count is over!]

In about half a minute, the office, which seemed a little empty at first, was full of parrots. They were either on the coffee table, or on the bookshelf, and some of them were so bold that they landed on top of Duan Jiaze in front of Lu Ya, who glared at him and flew away immediately.

The whole office became lively in an instant, and unexplained bird calls sounded one after another.

Ever since they appeared, Duan Jiaze clearly felt that his Beast Heart Pass was not enough. Single-digit single-target release skills really couldn't handle fifty parrots. Therefore, Duan Jiaze also learned to read their language - not including this situation of Qiming.

Xiao Zi stood on the armrest, poking her head out to bite the apple in Duan Jiaze's hand.

Lu Ya raised his head and screamed, and the parrots immediately fell silent.

[Hahahahaha your father is still your father]

[Pfft, the raptor is still the raptor, the parrots are afraid to bark, all kinds of looking around]

[Being called out by Lu, I feel so guilty]

[Lu Ya is probably helping the principal take care of the children a lot... really skilled]

But the parrot is a very naughty bird, and it won't last long, not to mention that these are all young birds. Xiao Zi was originally staying on the armrest after Lu Ya's warning, but after only a minute, she shook her head, fell to the side, and lay on Duan Jiaze's lap with her feet facing the sky.

Duan Jiaze lowered his head and pinched Xiao Zi's hooked mouth, "What are you doing, pretending to be dead?"

Xiao Zi opened her mouth, "Ah—"

The pronunciation of the word ah is really mellow, very human-like.

But Duan Jiaze was merciless, "No extra food."

Young birds should strictly control their diet. Lu Ya also taught them not to eat things from strangers. They can only ask Duan Jiaze for it. Unfortunately, Duan Jiaze will not give anything other than the daily recipe.

After Duan Jiaze said so, he wanted to stuff a mouthful of apple into Lu Ya's mouth.

Xiao Zi: "..."

[Director! Are any birds talking?]

[Yesterday, a red parrot imitated meowing, I laughed so hard, did you see Schrödinger?]

[Chinese should be more difficult, maybe I can’t learn it so quickly, and the head of the school doesn’t seem to be trying to teach it]

[Hmmm... If I had opened my mind, I wouldn't have spoken so quickly]

"Well, no one can talk yet." Duan Jiaze glanced at the barrage and replied, "Imitate the sounds of other animals, after all, I live in a zoo."

But as soon as Duan Jiaze finished speaking, Xiao Zi opened her mouth to speak, and said in human terms: "Everyone, please don't throw fruit peelings..."

Duan Jiaze almost didn't realize who was talking, and turned his head in astonishment.

Then, a red and green macaw watched Xiao Zi speak, and showed it not to be outdone: "Welcome! Welcome!"

[Fuck hahaha, yes, after all, I live in a zoo]

[After all, I live in a zoo, so there's nothing wrong with calling it that!]

"My dad is the principal, my dad is the principal!"

"...cough cough!" Duan Jiaze almost choked to death on his own saliva, and brought over a parrot that said "My father is the director of the garden", and said dumbfoundedly, "Who taught you to say this?"

Looking at it again, the barrage is already laughing like crazy.

"It must be the breeder..." Duan Jiaze said awkwardly. He definitely couldn't find out. I don't know who was so boring to teach the parrot to say this sentence. What's more dark is that maybe that person didn't even think of it. The parrot's learning ability So strong, really learned.

"Ga... Jiajia!" The parrot held by Duan Jiaze opened its mouth and shouted his nickname again.

"Your father is the director of the garden, and you still call him by his first name?" Duan Jiaze said with a smile. No matter how smart a parrot is, it doesn't know the specific meaning of its imitation words.

[Pfft, I laughed so hard]

[Speaking of which, Lu Ya is very obedient to the parrots. I remember that I used to not like the director to hug other birds.]

[A group of brats...]

Duan Jiaze got up and wanted to get hot water, but there was no water, so he called someone to deliver water, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go next door to get some water."

Duan Jiaze told the netizens that the little parrots don't understand human language very well now, and when they saw Duan Jiaze standing up and talking together, they flew up and followed them out.

Netizens watched helplessly as Duan Jiaze followed a group of birds and left. After leaving, the voice came back: "I'll just get some hot water and follow!"

Coming and going like the wind like this, Lu Ya was the only bird left in the office in an instant. He held his phone in his mouth very calmly, and put it in a different direction.

[Lu Ya is really good...]

[Really good, so sensible]

When Duan Jiaze came back, for no reason, he saw that the barrage had all turned into praises that Lu Ya was good. He couldn't figure out where Lu Ya could be called "good". Obedient is a cute word that I can't get enough of.

Duan Jiaze lost his mind, but sometimes it is interesting for Lu Ya to be shy. That kind of shyness is not a shyness in his character, but Lu Ya is really blank in interpersonal communication, more like a kind of overwhelmed .

The barrage quickly turned to another direction, asking what animals the zoo will introduce next and what exhibition halls will be expanded.

"The next step, because our hotel has not opened for a long time, so we won't make any big moves for the time being. Apart from the routine work of improving the population, it may be to prepare for the breeding center." Duan Jiaze replied seriously, "We need to recruit experts. , build a venue... yes, it is a penguin incubation center, and other rare birds may also be involved in the future."

In the early days, because of lack of money, the imported animals were introduced individually or in pairs, but for some animals that lived in groups, they were still relatively lonely. Therefore, from the middle and late stages, when introducing animals, we will also pay attention to filling in the previous vacancies, and do some repetitive species introductions.

Especially in free-range areas, if there are only solitary animals, even if the animals do not feel lonely, they will look very monotonous.

Before today's live broadcast time was up, the training time for the little parrots came first, and Duan Jiaze drove back the parrots who came to join in the fun. At the strong request of netizens, he also rushed with his mobile phone.

"Go back, everyone go back." Duan Jiaze rolled up the book and poked the parrots.

The parrot that was poked circled around the house and then flew out.

Duan Jiaze leaned out of the window and took pictures with his mobile phone. I saw these parrots fly out of the window one by one, and flew in a line to another building, entering through an open window.

[I will go back to the house by myself, it's really amazing!]

[It's still good for the head of the garden to tame the birds]

[The head of the garden is quick to see me, answer this question quickly, why does Lu Ya get along well with these parrots? It moved its mouth at most, and didn't even talk about them!]

When Duan Jiaze saw this question, he smiled helplessly and said, "Don't make Lu Ya look like a bully, he has always been nice to Xiaoniao."

[Here we go again, close your eyes and blow]

[Is it a bully, don't you know... 23333]

So far, Lingyuan has participated in the filming of pet commercials, reality shows, X science, etc., and their animals have also gone out and filmed movies. Now that it is becoming more and more famous, there is no need for Huang Qi to take the initiative to recruit the crew as before, but some will come to them.

More than once, there were advertising companies who wanted to rent the animals in Lingyuan to make advertisements, but they were all human advertisements, and they were not famous brands. Some even borrowed swans, horses, etc., to catch the light of previous shows. Duan Jiaze couldn't verify the authenticity, and he wasn't short of money for the time being, so he didn't answer.

This time, a TV crew came to the door. The producer of the film crew knew Huang Qi before and asked him to discuss it.

The heroine of this TV series is set to be a bird veterinarian in a zoo. It also has the concept of promoting bird protection. The crew wants to find a zoo to cooperate with. In the early stage, the heroine actor has to go to the zoo for practical training. After that, some related The lens also hopes to frame the scene here, and borrow birds to appear in the shot.

They chose Lingyuan not only because the animal actors here had performed well, but also because of the beautiful scenery of Donghai City. If Duan Jiaze agreed, some of their exterior scenes could be filmed here.

After thinking about it, Duan Jiaze agreed. Most of the heroine's scenes are in the veterinarian's room, and there are not many scenes that will affect tourists' sightseeing. The crew has also received support and sponsorship from relevant animal protection organizations, and Huang Qi has the face.

Therefore, Lingyuan signed an agreement with the crew, and not long after, they sent the actress of the leading role to train for half a month.

The heroine's name is Meng Qiqi, a member of a girl group who debuted less than two years ago. She has practiced and sang, and is currently a little famous. Her agency was one of the investors, and they brought her in as the heroine, and several other team members also played supporting roles, but they were not used for training.

Meng Qiqi ate and lived in Lingyuan's hotel. At the beginning, she was a little squeamish because of her star status, and she suffered from princess sickness from time to time. During the training, I always ask if there is any interesting content, so that she can be on the show to talk about after filming and publicity, and she thinks very far.

But for the employees of Lingyuan, entertaining her is to get more bonuses for themselves, and at most they will complain behind their backs.

The fire is not particularly hot, but when Meng Qiqi goes out, she has to wear sunglasses on the way from the hotel to the veterinary room.

When going out that day, Meng Qiqi was knocked down by a particularly strong foreign tourist. When she fell to the ground, her legs hurt so much that she couldn't get up, and her sunglasses fell off.

Meng Qiqi covered her face, afraid of being recognized by others, she lowered her head and realized that someone was supporting her, and raised her head, only to find that many people were taking pictures, she was secretly happy in her heart.

"Sit down, the doctor will come right away." The person who helped her said a word, it was a somewhat familiar male voice.

Meng Qiqi froze as soon as she looked up, isn't this Xiao Rong

When Xiao Rong was the most popular, she had just entered the industry, and when Xiao Rong retired, she had just played a supporting role. Not to mention that she was not as good as before, even now... Those who took pictures were obviously taking pictures of Xiao Rong.

Meng Qiqi thought of the rumor that Xiao Rong was working in Lingyuan. It was because Xiao Rong presided over the opening ceremony here and it was exposed, but there were more rumors later, and Xiao Rong was never found to appear on the scene again. Even when Meng Qiqi came here for three or four days, she never saw Xiao Rong, so she thought it was a fake!

Now, actually seeing Xiao Rong, Meng Qiqi was tongue-tied, "Xiao, Senior Xiao..."

"Senior?" Xiao Rong was obviously taken aback.

Meng Qiqi suddenly understood that he didn't even know who she was, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

Fortunately, someone came to the infirmary at this time, Xiao Rong took the opportunity to escape and escaped surrounded by tourists. As for Meng Qiqi, no one cares about her except the staff.

Then, after knowing that Xiao Rong is really an employee here, and now he still eats in the cafeteria from time to time, but tourists and the media can't easily catch him, Meng Qiqi no longer dares to treat herself as a special person.

No matter how popular she is, she is not half as popular as Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong didn't even know her that day, and she was hit a lot. How dare she treat herself as a star again. Especially in front of Xiao Rong's current colleagues, they are already working with Xiao Rong, so is it worth pursuing her

Meng Qiqi's attitude became better in an instant, which made the staff a little strange, but she stopped pretending, and everyone no longer felt bad.

—The staff didn't hate Meng Qiqi anymore, but the animals did the opposite.

Before Meng Qiqi came, her agent told her that it is best to have more material here, so that she can publish a draft later, and also add some talking points for Meng Qiqi to participate in the program, so Meng Qiqi kept asking the breeder Is there any interesting work content.

Either publicize that you have suffered a lot, or tell something funny. Meng Qiqi prefers the latter, which also fits her screen positioning.

Besides, what kind of suffering can you suffer in a zoo

Although there is really no news, they can also make up news, but the agent said that it is best to have at least part of the truth and be more vivid.

The agent also gave examples, that is, the reality show back then, the episode that Xiao Rong and the others filmed here, the female guest worshiping the fox fairy, and the subsequent counterattack on horseback.

Meng Qiqi kept it in mind, the heroine she played was a veterinarian who mainly took care of birds, so Meng Qiqi paid more attention to birds, and naturally, she took Duan Jiaze's idea.

It didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to know how Duan Jiaze could be so close to the birds. Although the other breeders were familiar with the birds, they were far inferior to Duan Jiaze. She also saw a group of parrots running after Duan Jiaze, and also saw various "stunts" that Lu Ya had performed under Duan Jiaze's command online.

Meng Qiqi thought: Damn, if this is all me, I can get my agent to buy me headlines for half a month.

Meng Qiqi asked Duan Jiaze for advice, but she was disappointed to find that it might be a talent, and she couldn't learn it anyway. But she knew that Lu Ya was very smart, so she asked Duan Jiaze: "Director Duan, can you lend us Lu Ya to film?"

Among the birds that the crew planned to borrow, there was no Lu Ya. The character Meng Qiqi also has a bird, a parrot, which will play a big role in the plot, but the more Meng Qiqi thinks about it, the more she feels that if she can borrow Lu Ya, or even replace the parrot with Lu Ya, Isn't the plot more exciting and more popular

Duan Jiaze said sweatingly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Meng, our Lu Ya has a bit of a bad temper, and we may not be able to cooperate with the filming."

"But it listens to you, director," Meng Qiqi said innocently, "Can you give it a try, maybe it can?"

Meng Qiqi still had a little hope, after all, Duan Jiaze's difficulty was too high, but she got in touch with the birds in the Bird Pavilion these days, it's not bad, the birds are very kind to her.

Moreover, Lu Ya is really much more handsome than the parrot!

Unfortunately, Director Duan still sternly rejected Meng Qiqi.

Meng Qiqi will be staying for half a month. In the next time, she will approach Duan Jiaze whenever she has time, hoping to persuade Duan Jiaze to let Lu Ya join the filming. In the end, they all gave in, as long as Lu Ya made a few scenes. You can come and play a bird who heroically beats up the bad guys after being rescued by her.

There are many plots of Meng Qiqi saving birds like this in the script, and Meng Qiqi has also checked the director's tone, knowing that they also wanted to use Lu Ya, so she boldly tried to torture Duan Jiaze.

Duan Jiaze couldn't tell Meng Qiqi that Lu Ya could speak, so Lu Ya would have disagreed, so he had no choice but to keep refusing, and he was a little convinced by this little girl's perseverance. Speaking of the latter, Meng Qiqi pretended to be stupid and said that I just made friends with the director of the garden, let's not mention the bird for now.

It wasn't until the meal that day that Meng Qiqi came over for the one hundred and first time, and saw the director's very handsome, elusive friend suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?"

This human has harassed Duan Jiaze many times in front of him! !

Meng Qiqi was at a loss: "??"

That afternoon, when Meng Qiqi entered the bird hall to practice again, the birds suddenly burst into an uproar, and all the birds flew together, giving Meng Qiqi a rain of guano.

Meng Qiqi, who couldn't bear it even in a raincoat, said, "Ouch!!"

That's all, from this day on, Meng Qiqi found that she seemed to be hated by all the birds!

The breeders kept asking her to pay attention to whether she was in the wrong posture, or if there was any pungent smell on her body, but Meng Qiqi swore that she did nothing. Not to mention the birds in the bird hall, even the sparrows outside are grabbing her sunglasses!

The agent called Meng Qiqi: "Qiqi, how are you doing? Is the zoo interesting? I'm going to get someone to write a manuscript."

A magpie flew by, and Meng Qiqi quickly and skillfully covered herself with an umbrella.

Seeing the magpie flying away, Meng Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said miserably: "Hey, sister, I don't know if this is interesting..."
