Chapter 519 Magpies are not beneficial birds?
Chapter 519: Isn’t a magpies good bird?
I saw a few magpies who were foraging in the yard looking around, jumping slowly towards the pile of firewood, and approaching the duck nest step by step. (The genius can only be remembered in 3 seconds) (Please remember the free novel [.]
"Can't it be the magpies stealing duck eggs?" Zhang Qian said this, but she didn't think it in her heart.
Before she could finish her voice, the magpie led the lead moved. The bird screamed a few times on the pile of firewood. After confirming that there was no danger around her, it suddenly lowered its head and pecked the duck eggs in the grass nest for more than a dozen times. Its pointed beak caught a small hole in the duck eggshell. Then the magpie stretched its head and began to eat the overflowing egg whites. After eating for a while, it probably felt unsatisfied. It actually inserted its mouth into the eggshell, flapped its wings and flew towards the sky.
It was about half a meter high, and the magpie's head swayed, and the duck egg fell from the sky. The egg shell broke, and the egg white and egg yolk flowed all over the ground. At this time, the other magpie flocked to eat the food on the ground.
A few magpies couldn't grab the food and flew into the grass nest again to peck the duck eggs.
In less than five minutes, four duck eggs were snatched away. After the food was gone, more than a dozen magpies flew away with their wings.
It turned out that this thing was done. The couple speculated that it was for such a long time, but they never thought that it would be a magpies who committed the crime. During the day, the ducks all ran out of the hospital to find food, which gave them enough time to commit the crime.
No wonder Wukong kept pointing at the tree yesterday. This guy really knows the feelings, but unfortunately the couple has too poor understanding.
"Aren't magpies good birds?" It is clear that magpies are not only "food experts" among birds, but also beneficial birds. They are famous for their omnivorous food and feed on locusts, mole crickets, pine caterpillars, nocturnal moth larvae, etc. A magpies can keep more than 20,000 square meters of pine forests from insects.
Primary school students know these things and often talk about them in class, but the behavior of the magpies in front of them completely subverts Zhang Qian's perception.
"Who is saying that magpies are good birds, who am I anxious?" Liu Junhao was also a little dumbfounded. Although he has caught magpies a lot since he was a child, he really didn't notice that magpies have this bad habit.
The couple was talking, and Professor Zhao walked into the gate of the courtyard, "What are the couple doing? It's so lively early in the morning."
"Talking about magpies..." Liu Junhao Balabala told the story.
"That's all?" Professor Zhao was not surprised after hearing this. "Magpie is an omnivorous bird. In addition to insects, it also eats seeds of grains and plants. Like most other crows, magpie are very smart birds, but they are also extremely aggressive and ferocious birds. They sometimes steal bird eggs and chicks, and sometimes catch snakes, mice, etc.
You are nothing. I encountered similar things when I was doing research in the countryside before. (win phone bills,) These guys regard the orchard as a canteen and go to dinner every day.
Magpie is extremely smart. When it ignores immature fruits, it only pecks the ripe fruits. Most of them only peck at two or three mouths. After one tree pecks, it flies to the next tree. At most, the entire orchard is densely packed with magpies, at least hundreds of them. I was also shocked at that time. Looking from the orchard, I could see a flock of black birds flying by.
To prevent bird damage, fruit farmers hang cloth strips, tie grass men, beat gongs, set off firecrackers... They use up all methods. Unfortunately, they can only take care of it for a while, and in less than two days, magpies will be used to it."
"Then won't all my duck eggs be ruined by them in the future?" After listening to Professor Zhao's story, Zhang Qian became worried. It is true that magpies are good birds, but if they continue to harm this, they will definitely not be able to bear it. Although the daily income of duck eggs is not as good as that of eels, they can still cost thousands of yuan a year.
"A few magpies are so upset," Liu Junhao said with a lip curl, "Hurry up and hot yogurt and go to class. In half a day, I cleaned up the magpies honestly and didn't even dare to enter our yard."
If a tiger is not powerful, I think I am sick cat. If a magpies are so rampant, they can only serve them by slingshots.
When his wife went to class, Liu Junhao closed the courtyard gate and then went into the house to hide under the windowsill.
In less than ten minutes, the magpies ran back to the pile of firewood again.
He immediately pulled away the slingshot, and with a slight sound of collapse, the bold magpie began to scream on the ground.
Before the master could take action, Wukong had already run out of the house and directly arrested the magpie.
Liu Junhao took it and took a look. He couldn't help but be proud of his slingshot technique: he hit the magpie's abdomen, and he hit the head with a few points.
Seeing that there was no serious injury, Liu Junhao went back to the house and took a thin rope and tied the magpies to the pile of firewood.
As he guessed, there was a similar type of chirping below. When the magpies on the tree saw this role model, they didn't dare to go down the tree and steal eggs, and they didn't even dare to fall into the yard.
"How is it? My method is good?" Liu Junhao proudly introduced when his wife came back at noon.
"You are always good at the wrong methods," Zhang Qian said with a blank look.
"How can it be called a wrong way? This is to use birds to control birds." Liu Junhao had already thought about it and would promote this method when the fruit trees and melons at the village head next year.
Otherwise, as Mr. Zhao said, hundreds of magpies pounced on the orchard, and the village would suffer great losses.
In the afternoon, Zhang Qian had no classes, so the couple went out to push the old and old men out as usual. In fact, they couldn't stay in the yard for a long time now. The two little guys started making a fuss when they stopped at their home for half an hour. As soon as they went out, they didn't cry. Moreover, they were crazy, and the more people they were, the happier they were. Whether they knew each other or not, they would make people laugh.
When the master went out, Wukong followed closely behind. After a while, the guy didn't know what good thing he found, so he ran to the master excitedly to seek credit.
"Wow" and saw clearly the bugs in Wukong's hand, Zhang Qian shouted and dodged.
Speaking of how many years she has lived in Liujiagou, she is now almost at the point where she is not surprised to see the insect. Of course, the insect in front of her is an exception. It is nearly ten centimeters long, the thumb is as thick as her body, and her body is covered with furry green thorns, which looks very disgusting.
"Wukong, throw it away!" Zhang Qian shouted repeatedly, but unfortunately the monkey seemed to have not heard it at all, so she kept pinching the insect with her little claws and swaying it.
"Don't be afraid, this is the insect on the old pike tree." Liu Junhao glanced at it and explained. Every time this season, many such insects will crawl out of the old pike tree. These insects are scary in appearance, but they are loved by boys.
Tear the stomach of this insect, and a bunch of milky white sticky threads will appear inside. Take out the sticky threads and soak them in aged vinegar for a while. It will stretch longer and longer like a rubber band, and it will be quite strong after drying. It is a good material for fishing line.
In the past, they often used this fishing when there was no rope. Now that the conditions are good, few people have to spend so much effort on fishing lines.
I stayed outside for two or three hours, and waited until the temperature dropped, and the couple returned to the yard.
After dinner, the two little guys started making a fuss and fell asleep only after snooze. The couple were also preparing to take off their clothes and go to bed, but their phone rang.
When Zhang Qian was not familiar with the number, she handed over her phone. In fact, many tourists have this number, and they often receive words from strangers, so Zhang Qian is not surprised.
"Liu Junhao, is there Xiang Tiancao in your village?" The phone call was answered, and the visitor did not introduce himself at all, and asked in a hurry.
"Wait a minute, what is Xiang Tiancao?" Liu Junhao asked in a daze.
"I don't know either. My wife had gynecological diseases and found an old Chinese doctor to see herbs called Xiangtiancao. The doctor didn't have it, and asked me to look for it in the countryside..."
Liu Junhao recalled it carefully, but still had no impression: "Xiang Tiancao, I have never heard of it... Are you sure we have it here?"
"It should be. The doctor said that as long as there are old tiled houses in the countryside, there are them on them." The other end of the phone replied uncertainly.
"Wait, I'll check it online. You call me in ten minutes and I'll give you the exact message at that time." Liu Junhao didn't refuse when he heard the other party's tone was very anxious.
"Who called?" Zhang Qian asked in a low voice when she saw her husband turn over.
"I don't know, it's probably because tourists who often come to our village. What are you looking for to attract medicine to Tiancao?" Liu Junhao replied, turning on the computer quickly.
If you have a name, you can check it. Enter it directly to search for Xiang Tiancao. After reading the introduction, he was relieved. Love is a common tiled palm in rural areas. Liujiagou must have it.
The tile brown just grew tender green, and turned dark red after exposure to sunlight. The plant is very small, and the highest is only a dozen centimeters long. The whole plant has only one stem, and the surrounding leaves are covered with oval leaves, which suddenly looks a bit like a pocket-sized version of a pine tree.
It is very picky about the growth environment and lives only on the roof of old houses. In those days, the lobby room with red tiles would not grow at all.
The tiled brown tastes sour. When I was a child, Liu Junhao, Liu Qiyong and others often sneaked to other people's old houses to pull tiled browns to eat. Of course, this matter must not be revealed by adults, otherwise they will definitely be beaten to the board. Children often fall on the roof when they are not careful, and secondly, they will tile tiles break. When it rains, the unlucky one will be the owner.
In that era, rural children usually couldn't eat any snacks, so they were as happy as if they had won a battle with a few tiled brown plants, and they were very happy to chew.
Modern children have good living conditions and will not pay attention to the short tiled brown roof at all, nor will they know that their parents had eaten this food with relish when they were young.
When the other party called again, Liu Junhao agreed and asked others to come and pick it up tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to put it in the car and take it back to the city.
He agreed to listen to the singularity, but when he went to the village to find tile palm the next day, he was stunned.
Most of the people in the village have built buildings, and there is no tiled brown on it. Even if there are many tiled houses, they are newly built and cement tiles are used.
He walked around the entire village but couldn't find a single tiled brown plant.
No wonder the tourist called to look for it, and feelings have become a rare thing.
He was worried about the fact that he was loyal to others. Master Liu Wu gave an idea, saying that he would go to Daliang Village or Sankeshu to see that there should be an old house in the village.
"Yes," Liu Junhao slapped his head and hurried home and rode an electric bike to Daliang Village.
