Chapter 9
"Listener friends, hello everyone, this is Qinghe News, I knew it earlier, and now I will broadcast today's Qinghe News..."

Qin Xu is more relaxed than refreshing a radio program with one news item after another on his mobile phone, which gradually fades out of the memory of the younger generation.

There is no need to tune the frequency, the smart player Kitty will automatically help him find the programs he listens to frequently, and automatically play them at a fixed time.

Qin Xu held two slender green leaves between his fingers.

This is cattail grass, after drying, it still maintains a light green color, excellent toughness, light and soft, and has a grassy fragrance.

In the era when plastic products were not popular, it was often used to weave cattail fans, straw mats and other daily necessities.

According to the information in the gift package, Qin Xu synthesized a variety of natural plant materials, and finally chose cattail grass as the material for weaving low-grade exotic birds.

Dried cattail grass cannot be used immediately.

In addition, according to the formula, six different herbs and plants are used, boiled in a large pot into soup, soaked for three days, and then dried again to be a qualified material.

The process is not complicated, but like low-grade exotic poultry feed, it also requires cumbersome manual participation.

The two weaving leaves in Qin Xu's hands now have been processed and can be used directly.

"On March [-]th, this Friday, at the International Strait Center in our city, our city and cultivators from various sects of the Star-Moon World reached active and friendly negotiations and reached hundreds of cooperation issues, involving military affairs, people's livelihood, environment and other issues..."

Qin Xu folded two thin green leaves in half, listening to the content on the radio, couldn't help curling his lips.

As one of the hundreds of cooperation projects, Qin Xu has not met the partner so far. As for the other projects he can know, he got information from Xu Longfan from Bao two days ago. Because of the huge differences between the two parties, it is said that none of them can go smoothly.

"According to the news from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in our province, the research on the first batch of plant maps of the Star-Moon Realm is progressing smoothly. Their research and exploration will have a significant and far-reaching impact on the botanical world of our world. In the foreseeable future, they may change our planting, animal husbandry, breeding and medical industries and other fields of people's livelihood..."

"On the evening of March [-]th, at the Qinghewan Hotel, the main leaders of our province and representatives from various sects of the Star-Moon Realm gathered together..."

Qin Xu's carefulness and patience in handling cases in his previous life disappeared strangely when put into manual work.

The two thin leaves are interlaced with each other, and the third and fourth braided leaves are added from time to time...

If there is a ready-made video, Qin Xu would rather find a craftsman who is good at this and spend money to do it, than to be dizzy with these lines.

It's a pity that he can't share the data images in the big gift bag with others. He can only restore them himself before teaching others how to operate them.

After stumbling, dismantling and then weaving, weaving and dismantling again, tossing and tossing back and forth for two days, finally a decent egg-shaped bird's nest was born from Qin Xu's hands.

The size of the bird's nest is not fixed, and it is up to the creator to increase or decrease the materials and modify the weaving steps according to the size of the different birds.

The size of the wild sparrow is not big, Qin Xu only made a low-level exotic bird tree nest the size of an ostrich egg.

A small hole is opened on the outside of the bird's nest to provide access for the living exotic birds.

Qin Xu walked around the former City Planning Bureau, studied all the tall and low trees and shrubs, and finally decided to hang the low-order exotic bird tree nest on a geranium about two meters high.

Just after the low-level exotic bird tree nest was hung, Little Yellow Mao and Little Red Claw squatted on Qin Xu's shoulders, chirping happily, and rushed into the tree nest impatiently.

These two little guys have recently eaten the low-grade exotic poultry feed made by Qin Xu with great effort, and their appearance has undergone a great change.

But after a few days of work, their eyes are more intelligent and agile.The body is round and strong, the fluff grows fluffy, and the feathers of the wings flow a layer of colorful halo, especially compared with the same kind, the gap is more and more obvious.

A week ago, wild birds that dared to eat each other dared not approach them these days.

Once, a four-happy bird landed in the yard and snatched the rice that Qin Xu had sprinkled for the wild sparrows. Seeing this, Xiao Huangmao and Little Red Mao rushed towards the lively and aggressive four-happy bird fiercely.

The natural size of the sparrow is quite different from that of the Four-Happy Bird, but the little yellow-haired and little red-clawed are not at a disadvantage. Their bodies are nimble and they cooperate with each other tacitly. They use both beaks and claws to fight with it, pecking off a lot of feathers from the big black bird, which makes this rambunctious black bird flee away in embarrassment.

After that, it seemed that Little Yellow Mao and Little Red Claw were the heads of the flocks of small wild sparrows around the former City Planning and Design Institute.

The two birds raised their heads and croaked a few times while standing on a low branch, and several groups of wild sparrows responded to them.

As soon as the two of them moved into the tree nest prepared by Qin Xu, all the followers immediately settled down near the geranium tree, like guards guarding the king of their clan.

After a few days, Qin Xu knew he was wrong.

Not just the king, but the queen too!

One female and one male, these two small wild sparrows, which seem to be evolving towards exotic birds, laid their first eggs in their new nest.

Knowing that they are in the breeding stage, Qin Xu deliberately increased the amount of daily exotic poultry feed.

Five days later, five small eggs with brown spots appeared in the nest of the low-level exotic birds.

Qin Xu made sure through observation that the little yellow feathers that had been squatting in the tree nest, guarding the eggs, were female birds.

Every day, he will leave the tree nest and wander around. Little Red Claw, who likes to pull the fluff on his body to make "soft clothing" for the tree nest, is a male bird.

Two little sparrows work together to raise children, each performing its own duties, and each has its own division of labor.

Qin Xu regularly rations and provides feed suitable for exotic birds every day. The journey of raising the two little guys is much easier than that of the wild ones.

But it was not all smooth sailing. On the fifth day after Little Yellow Mao and Little Red Claw hatched the eggs, in the middle of the night, Qin Xu was awakened by a rush of high-pitched birdsong.

He quickly ran to the geranium tree, only to see that Little Red Claw was furious and vigorous, angry and terrified, and the surrounding birds were flying around. Qin Xu took a flashlight and looked to the side, and a three-flowered wild cat jumped out of the low iron fence next to it.

Before running away completely, the wild cat turned its head, and the cat's eyes under the street lamp reflected a glint of light.

Qin Xu's mind flashed, a piece of news that he hadn't read.

In cities, the biggest natural enemies of birds are stray wild cats.

When Qin Xu arrived, he calmed the frightened Little Red Claw, and the flock of birds that followed it also began to calm down.

As a protector, Qin Xu is willing to keep these two little birds and their offspring in a safe room if possible.

But this is not the right choice.

The environmental selection at the beginning of domestication of exotic birds determines the ability of the entire group to adapt to the environment in the future.

Unless, he intends to make the continuation group of Little Yellow Hair and Little Red Claw only adapt to the indoor breeding environment, otherwise, moving indoors will do more harm than good.

Breeding exotic birds will also experience risks and twists and turns.

For a group of exotic birds, if they want to continue to grow, they not only rely on the protection of human beings, but also their adaptability to the environment is also an important factor.
