Chapter 532: The Scheming of the Peafowl



"Woo hoo hoo ha ha ha ga ga ga..."

The laughing kookaburras tilted their heads and laughed wildly, their white chest feathers also quivering non-stop!

While laughing hysterically, they also glanced at each other.

Ha ha ha ha ha I'm dying of laughter!

Ha ha ha ha ha it's really too funny! I just can't stop!

Right, right, I've never heard anything so hilarious!

One of them turned its head, staring blankly at the others, seemingly not getting the joke and appearing somewhat embarrassed.

It opened its mouth in a polite attempt to join in the laughter, but soon closed it again.

What exactly is so funny, is there some joke I didn't understand?

It looked at the others obediently, as if waiting for them to explain!

But these kookaburras were too busy laughing hysterically.

This amusing scene was also captured in a photo by Yingying's father, who was laughing while taking the picture.

Nearby tourists, hearing the kookaburras' demonic laughter, couldn't help but join in with the laughter!

It was indeed very contagious.

These birds, for some reason, seemed endlessly amused all day long.

Yingying looked at the various birds on the nearby treetops or the railings, thinking about the nest of collared doves on her balcony at home.

She couldn't help but daydream, imagining how wonderful it would be to wake up every morning to see parrots and laughing kookaburras and all sorts of birds chirping away on the balcony.

These little birds were really too cute.

Liu Xueqing also thought about whether her balcony would remain a resting place for the little collared dove family once they grew up.

Having birds at home, it felt like the closeness and trust wild animals placed in humans was truly precious.

Moving on, they saw two macaws nuzzling each other on the handrails!

Their beaks were touching, and they seemed to be saying something.

Getting closer, they heard one macaw speaking affectionately, looking at the other macaw, "Have you put on some weight recently?"

"No, why do you say that?"

"Then why is it that you've been weighing heavier on my heart?"

Needless to say, it was the entertaining pair, Jinzhi and Jingwen.

The two macaws were not necessarily the zoo's model loving couple, but they definitely loved to show off their affection and feed the tourists with "dog food"!

The lovey-dovey things they said didn't really mean much to them; they were just saying it for fun.

Some amused tourists specially taught them some of these phrases!

Macaws that can speak corny love lines had now become famous among visitors, with many couples even coming especially to see them.

Some people made dates with girls to come play at the zoo, confessing their feelings under the witness of Jinzhi and crew.

It felt a bit like the zoo was playing matchmaker.

Fang Ye joked about whether he should set up a flower shop nearby, as business would surely boom.

Liu Xueqing: "Pff, it's that parrot again! Macaws feel particularly intelligent to me."

In fact, it was just that these few in Linhai Zoo were especially clever; normally macaws, even with a good linguistic talent, would find it hard to learn to say so much in a short time.

As Yingying's father laughed, he waved his hand: "Hello!"

Jinzhi, ever polite, responded: "Hello to you!"

Yingying asked, "Can you sing?"

After a moment's thought, Jinzhi raised its head and began to sing, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands~"

Although the tune is a bit odd, it is indeed melodic!

Next to him, Jingwen made a "tsk tsk" sound, mimicking applause in response!

Yingying happily started clapping!

Seeing these adorable parrots could make one happy all day long.

There were tourists who were visiting for the first time, who were so amazed that their eyeballs almost fell out.

"Wow, that's incredible!"

Someone proudly introduced, "This one is the leader of the parrots, particularly smart!"

...

Arriving at the central area of the bird enclosure, the space beneath the huge tetrameles nudiflora tree was more open.

The area behind it was once open, but now it has been closed off for the green peafowl; only the animal keepers can enter, while visitors can only watch from a distance outside.

These few months are the breeding and courtship period for the green peafowl, they need as much undisturbed environment as possible.

Of course, that's relatively undisturbed, after all, even without human disturbance, there are still many birds that come to watch the excitement in the bird enclosure as usual.

With volunteers maintaining order, the tourists were very conscious and maintained a quiet state, squinting their eyes to look carefully inside.

Liu Xueqing picked up Yingying and whispered, "Yingying, look! Green peafowl!"

In the direction where the tourists' gazes were fixed, there were two green peafowls, currently drinking water by a pool!

They bowed their heads, sucked water in with their beaks, then raised their heads high to swallow.

As they raised their heads, you could clearly see the golden sheen amidst the emerald green beautiful scales on their necks.

After drinking water, the male peafowl called out loudly with an "Ah-ow~ Ah-ow~"!

This season was the courting season for peafowls, and the sight of a peafowl fanning its tail was often seen, giving visitors a visual feast.

You could see the male peafowl unfold his tail screen, propping up his long and colorful train, his body shaking rapidly, causing the fan feathers to rustle like raindrops falling on dry leaves.

The emerald green tail screen shook continuously, and the blue eyes glittered glowingly!

There was no bright sunlight shining directly on this spot, so the golden green effect wasn't visible, but it was still magnificent.

Although the male peafowl was trying hard to display his beautiful tail screen, the female peafowl appeared very indifferent.

She bowed her head down, focusing only on pecking at the ground for food, constantly turning her back towards the male peafowl.

As the female turned her head in another direction, the male peafowl quickly followed her for a couple of steps, the tail screen trembling slightly.

Nevertheless, the female peafowl still seemed utterly unmoved.

The tourists couldn't help but sigh, "Look at him, how tiring it must be holding it up all the time!"

"The one that's supposed to play along with you acts like it doesn't see you!"

"It's also a 'foodie' peafowl, just focusing on eating!"

The animal keeper explained with a smile, "The female peafowl might not be genuinely looking for food right now but symbolically pecking, to appear a bit indifferent. This is to make the male peafowl perform more vigorously.

If the male can continue displaying without interruption, it shows that it has good stamina and excellent genes! That way, it can win the favor of the female. This courtship dance can even last for dozens of minutes.

When the male peafowl fans its tail, it also gives the female some time to prepare physiologically for breeding."

The tourists were astonished!

It turns out she was pretending not to see on purpose, such a scheming peafowl indeed.

The animal keeper added, "Before a female green peafowl has made up her mind, she won't let a male approach too closely, maintaining a short distance to move around. Recently, seeing these two often together, it seems that their affections are in place!"

The display of fanned tails continued for more than ten minutes, and just as Liu Xueqing and the others were preparing to leave, the female peafowl lay down on the ground.

It seemed she was satisfied with the male and finally accepted him!

The male peafowl appeared extremely excited, running swiftly to the back, jumping onto the back of the female, his body moving, the large tail screen not lowered, shaking along with the motion.

About 5 seconds later, he came down, flapping his wings somewhat excitedly.
