Chapter 565 (1/2)
The vulture bumped over from the edge of the pool and looked up at the breeder!
I hope I can get a piece of meat to eat.
Before, the breeder put the meat on the branch of the tree and put it in various places on the wooden pier. The one who can fly has been eaten clean, and the one who can't fly can only dry on the ground and drool.
When the bird is full and flies to a high place to rest, the breeder is just convenient for training alone.
It's just been training for more than a week, and it's still in the stage of knowing and following the target stick.
The keeper put the target stick in front of the vulture, pressed the clicker at the same time, took a piece of meat from the small bag around his waist as a reward and handed it to the vulture to eat.
This is repeated several times. Move the target bar away and point it on the ground.
The vulture suddenly didn't understand. He tilted his head and looked at it in situ.
The keeper waited for a moment to see that it didn't respond. He handed back the target stick, leaned in front of the vulture's face and gave it a piece of meat with a click.
The tourists looked at them and make complaints about it: ”Why are you so stupid?”
The breeder said: ”the first thing in behavior training is to build trust with animals. Only by building trust can they be willing to cooperate, and they need to be patient.
It also depends on the learning ability of animals. The first step is to let animals understand the meaning of ”great goal”. It normally takes one month. ”
After training for a long time, the vultures gradually became reluctant to cooperate. They looked around like distracted students in class, and the breeder put away the tools.
Outside the cage, he explained to the tourists: ”although vultures are called vultures, they are not vultures. Let's observe that they still have a lot of hair on their heads, and the young birds are relatively bald. The adult birds are usually their relatives vultures, and the birds buried in heaven in Tibet are high mountain vultures!
In addition to hovering at high altitude, vultures also like to stay on the bare stones on the top of the mountain. Therefore, there is a nickname called Mountain Eagle. Isn't it very domineering? ”
”The Mountain Eagle is a vulture!”
”I thought the mountain carving was some fierce Raptor.”
The keeper smiled: ”although vultures are ugly, in fact, they are scavengers in nature. If there are no scavengers like vultures, the continuous accumulation of animal bodies will lead to the breeding of bacteria and viruses and pollute the water source. Therefore, we still need to take good care of vultures, dislike them if they are not ugly, and don't imprison them for their own selfish desires.
However, when vultures grow like this, they really don't have a high appearance among raptors. Generally, no one is interested in being a pet. Maybe more often, they do bad things with good intentions, and the kind-hearted people take the vultures home to raise them for a while when they see them injured.
Maybe the injury hasn't been cured yet. Feelings have been cultivated first and they don't want to go. Vultures are easily dependent on people!
Our first vulture was like this. It was kept for a while and was unwilling to fly away. It was sent to a Raptor Rescue Center and later introduced to our zoo.
Moreover, vultures not only keep illegal, but also have a heavy taste. They don't like fresh meat. They like to eat rotten meat with some flavor. They also like to spit after eating. After spitting, they eat it again. It's hard to say the taste of rotten meat. Spit it out again. Think about the taste... ”
Lily imagined the scene and her face was wrinkled: ”Rua! It's disgusting to listen!”
Lin Hao also Tucao: ”I rely on, this person still make complaints about vultures, this hobby is also strange!”
”They are all rescued Raptors!”
A tourist asked curiously, ”why do vultures like to eat carrion?”
The keeper said: ”Maybe it's better to put it another way. Just like pandas eat bamboo, they may find it in the process of constantly looking for their own way to survive. Eh, hunting rabbits and mice can hide and run, consume energy, and may not be able to catch them. They have to compete with other hunters. How good the corpse is, and they can't run, and others don't like it, so I'll eat it. It gradually evolved into a more suitable way to eat rotten meat Status of the.
What kind of Golden Eagle falcon, it's a first-class killer. It flies quickly and pours down from a high place in the sky in an instant. The nine Yin white bone claws and sharp beak are extremely sharp, which frightens the prey.
