- These two swallows are the children of the first generation of barn swallows. They have been in contact with humans since they were young, so they are not very afraid of people. When Liu Junhao fed them food, he also whistled according to the method of training Qingzhuang. Therefore, the two swallows were very sensitive to the sound and fell down immediately when they heard the noise.
"I x, now I have more confidence in you, even the house swallow can be trained well. But you really don't know what kind of swallow it is?" Huo Jun looked at Mr. Zhao with the last glimmer of hope.
"Don't be too pretentious and tell me what kind of bird it is. Could it be that your swallow is made of gold?" Liu Junhao just looked left and right, looking up and down, but he didn't see anything strange about the swallow.
"Don't tell me, although this swallow is not made of gold, the price is not low. Do you know how much I paid for it?" He said, holding out five fingers.
"Five yuan?" After hearing his description, Liu Junhao knew that the price was very high, but he still deliberately quoted a low price.
"Are you just trying to make me angry? I bought it for five hundred yuan in Huaiji, Zhaoqing." Huo Jun said bitterly.
"Huaiji, Yanyan?Are you a swiftlet?" Professor Zhao suddenly made the connection. Yanyan is the only place in inland my country where swiftlets live, and is known as the "Swallow Capital of China".
"Old man, you finally know. This is the legendary swiftlet. When I went to Yanyan to buy bird's nests a few days ago, I saw some swiftlets for sale nearby. I was so excited that I bought a few. As a result. As soon as I came out, I knew I was losing money. There were many people selling nylon bags nearby, and they were sold one bag at a time, much cheaper than my price." Huo Jun exclaimed with his head down and his feet down.
"Bird's nest, is this the only kind of swallow that can build bird's nests?" Liu Junhao looked at those little guys in disbelief. He didn't seem to see any big difference between them and ordinary barn swallows, but the color and luster of their coats were slightly different. . Regarding bird's nests, although he has never seen a real one when he was so old, he has heard about them for a long time. When he was a child, he and Liu Qiyong once did the feat of "cooking bird's nests". At that time, the two of them didn't know which book they read about bird's nests. They naively thought that bird's nests were the kind of mud nests built by barn swallows under the eaves. Hearing that the food was edible, the two of them secretly threw in the bird's nests under the eaves of Liu Qiyong's house while the adults were not at home. Then he threw it into the pot and boiled it without even washing it, and it turned into mud.
After the two tasted it, they felt it didn¡¯t taste right, so they scooped a few more spoons of sugar into it, and then drank the muddy water.
When they later found out that this bird's nest was not that bird's nest, they all felt silly and funny when they thought about it.
"Enemy" Huo Jun nodded.
"Are you sorry or not? I heard that people picked bird's nests one after another, and finally the swallows were so tired that they vomited blood. You would have no conscience if you ate these." Seeing the miserable appearance of the swiftlets, Liu Junhao said: They can't stand it. He has been dating Huo Jun for nearly a year, and they are considered good friends, so they have less taboos about talking.
"You kid, don't you understand? It's called blood swallow, which is a treasure in bird's nests. It's not caused by the swiftlet vomiting blood, but it's named after the food it eats contains seaweed and other objects that turn into red threads." Huo Jun also said He only learned about the allusion when he traveled to Yanyan this time, but this did not prevent him from learning and selling it in front of Liu Junhao.
"If you want to buy bird's nests, just buy bird's nests. Why did you also buy swiftlets?" Professor Zhao asked a little strangely. I have never heard that you need to see what a hen looks like if you want eggs to be delicious.
"I heard that the bird's nest seller said that these swallows can be cultivated into house swallows. I didn't think about it at the time. I was fooled and bought a few of them. However, after asking knowledgeable people, I found out that the shopkeeper was cheating people. To pay for their lives, the main food that swiftlets need is whitebait and seaweed, so as to ensure the quality of the bird's nest. We don't have those two kinds of food here. Where can I find them?
They are very picky when choosing a swiftlet house. They must consider the temperature and humidity inside the house, as well as the width of the room and whether the space design can allow it to glide unimpeded. In addition, it is necessary to leave enough space for the swiftlets to play and play, so that they can stay. Live swiftlet. I heard someone say that someone spent 70, 80, 800,000 to build a swallow house, but at that rate, it would take 8 or 9 years to get the money back. I don't have that patience at all, so I just thought that hundreds of dollars were thrown away in vain. Huo Jun replied rather annoyed.
A swallow house is a house specially built for swallows to facilitate the collection of bird's nests. The structure is no different from an ordinary house. There is no special way to raise swallows. The swallows still have to rely on themselves to find food outside. The house just provides them with a place to build their nests.
Huo Jun initially thought that house swallows could be raised in a cage just like raising chickens and ducks. After learning that this was not the case at all, he gave up the idea completely.
"Then why did you bring the swallows to Liujiagou? Do you still want to build a swallow house here?" Liu Junhao said.Seeing that this person had the tendency to turn into Mrs. Xianglin, she quickly interrupted him and asked.
"Oh, to be honest, I originally planned to stew this bird in soup, but in the end I thought, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda,' so I decided to give it away. Your house has a nice environment, and there are a lot of white fish in the ditch in the backyard. , it should be wrong to raise swiftlets. I thought about giving swiftlets to you. If you really raise them, you can give me a bird's nest when the time comes, so that I don't let the hundreds of dollars go to waste. What do you think? ?" Huo Jun asked.
Raising swiftlets seems to be a challenging job, but I know nothing about this kind of bird. Liu Junhao was really embarrassed to answer him for a moment. It would be a sin for the bird to die in his own hands. But if you really develop it the bird's nest will be much bigger. In the future, when I go to the city to visit Zhang¡¯s parents and Zhang¡¯s mom, I can just bring the bird¡¯s nest, which will save me a lot of face.
"There's not much hope for this. I haven't heard of anyone in our country who has successfully raised it." Professor Zhao is not very optimistic about this project and always feels that Huo Jun is too whimsical.
"Everything has exceptions. What if it succeeds? That's it. If it succeeds, you will give me a bird's nest." In fact, Huo Jun didn't have much hope, but he just didn't want to see these little guys doing it. He just lost his life in his own hands.
"Okay, let me give it a try." Liu Junhao finally nodded and agreed to the matter. With the stone lock as a cheat, the swiftlets might actually be able to survive. After all, the two otters are living examples. When he originally planned to keep Baoyu and his wife in the courtyard, Mr. Zhao concluded early that adult otters were difficult to tame and would most likely escape if they were not kept in captivity.
Huo Jun came here to get the hornet's nest this time. After finishing the gossip, he urgently urged the owner to get the hornet's nest out quickly.
After sending the person away, Liu Junhao left the birdcage in the house. After searching the Internet for a long time, it seems that there are very few articles introducing the habits of swiftlets, but there are a lot of articles about bird's nests. But in the end, I finally figured out that this thing, like a bat, is generally difficult to fly on flat ground and must use a certain height to glide.
If this is the case, you won¡¯t have to worry about them running away in the future. After Professor Zhao left, Liu Junhao couldn't wait to open the stone lock and put all the swiftlets inside.
These guys were a little dizzy when they first entered the stone lock space, just like other animals. But after panicking, they calmed down.
Heyeat fish?
Liu Junhao felt happy when he saw one of the swiftlets standing by the pond, pecking his head at the meat and wheat in the water. Generally speaking, swallows are good at catching food in flight, but there are exceptions to everything. If the food stops there, they will of course catch it. The fish in the stone lock rarely encounters natural enemies on the road, so it seems stupid and allows the swiftlets to peck at it.
As long as they eat food, they should be able to survive.
However, Liu Junhao always felt a little weird when he saw them pecking at the shore with their heads lowered. It seemed that it would be more beautiful to fly and peck at them.
They can¡¯t fly without gliding space? Then make one for them.
Thinking of this, Liu Junhao immediately ran to the pond to catch swallows. I don't know how Huo Jun has been raising the swiftlets these days. When the swiftlet was first delivered, his eyes were dull and there was no aura. Fortunately now, after staying in the stone lock for less than ten minutes, his body began to become more agile. As soon as they saw Liu Junhao coming, they immediately stepped back with their thin legs. Being chased became so anxious that he ducked into the grass. Now the stone lock is not as desolate as it was at first. The wild chrysanthemums, fine hair grass, etc. inside are knee-deep. In the blink of an eye, several swiftlets had disappeared without a trace.
?????????????????????????????????????????? If the tiger doesn¡¯t show off its power, you think I¡¯m a sick cat, Liu Junhao chased me in the grass with great strides. When he locked on a swiftlet, the space suddenly opened, and the guy immediately fell into the house.
Grabbing the swiftlet and re-entering the space, Liu Junhao threw it high into the air. The swiftlet let out a clear cry, then stretched its wings and jumped into the air.
After flying for two weeks, it seemed to have completely adapted to the stone lock environment. With a sweep of its wings, it had already drawn an arc on the water, and a white fish was pecked into its mouth. Fortunately, the stone lock space is now large enough, which gives them a place to maneuver.
Liu Junhao followed suit and finally sent several swiftlets into the air. Seeing these guys flying freely in the stone locks, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the sky was their stage. Putting a swiftlet in a birdcage is no different from putting a tiger in an iron cage. Just like otters, they should be dispersed into the air after they become familiar with each other in the yard. I happen to have an empty room on the second floor. I wonder if I can use it as a swallow house for them.
He has no experience in raising swiftlets, so he can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
So far, this beginning seems to beWrong. Looking at the legendary bird's nest, Liu Junhao felt that he should work hard to provide a comfortable environment for these swiftlets.
