I have a wildlife zoo

Wooden planks were pieced together, and a makeshift sports court was set up!

Fang Ye shook the hollow wooden ball in his hand and introduced it to Jinzhi and the other three, "The rules of the game are the same as before, splitting into two teams and tossing the ball into the opposite hoop! Each time you get it in, you score one point. Jin Martin, you try throwing one."

He spread his palm and pointed at the hoop.

As soon as Jin Martin saw the small wooden ball and its matching hoop, he knew what to do. He couldn't wait to snatch the wooden ball from Fang Ye's hand, flapped his wings and flew towards the hoop, throwing the wooden ball into it.

"Hey, hey, jumping is okay, but no flying!"

This isn't Quidditch where flying is allowed.

Once they start flying, it becomes much harder for other parrots to intercept the ball, and they might never even get a chance to touch it.

Fang Ye gestured with his hands, repeatedly pressing down.

Just as Jin Martin was about to take off, he slammed the brakes, stopped flapping his wings, and tilted his head thoughtfully. Then, with the wooden ball in his beak, he ran back.

Fang Ye smiled and clapped his hands, gave him a small peanut, and gently touched his head with his finger, "That's right, just like that!"

Jin Martin munched on the peanut proudly, hey, this is way too easy.

As if anyone needs to be told how smart we parrots are!

He then pointed out another hoop to Jinzhi, "Jinzhi, your DJ Team will be aiming for that hoop later on. This game is about seeing which team can score the most by the time it ends!"

Though more complicated than tug-of-war, Jin Martin and the others quickly understood the rules!

"Gaga," he croaked to the other parrots in his raspy voice.

Fellas, gather round! There's a new game!

Jinzhi and Jin Martin split into two teams, and each was soon followed by over twenty parrots! More parrots wanted to join, but were turned away by "Gaga," probably told to wait for the next round.

After all, the playing field was limited, and it would be too chaotic with too many parrots on the court.

He Yifei held the small ball and came to the front of the court, where Jin Martin and Jinzhi both looked up, eyes gleaming as they focused on the ball in his hand!

The other parrots were still a bit confused, not knowing why the boss was calling them over.

But seeing the boss looking up, they curiously raised their heads as well.

"Dudu!"

With a whistle from He Yifei, signaling the start, the small ball was thrown down from above the center of the court, and the competition officially began!

Having had his eyes fixed on the small ball, Jin Martin was quick to snatch it by the hole as soon as it fell, securing the ball.

He wanted to run toward his own team's hoop with the ball, but it wouldn't budge an inch.

The other side was bitten by Jinzhi!

Both parrots exerted their strength as if their lives depended on it, leaning back hard and scraping their claws across the field.

Their eyes met and sparks flew in the air; neither would concede to the other!

The online viewers were watching the match excitedly and started commenting.

"Wow, it's so intense right from the start!"

"Come on, let's bet, will it be the Poet Team or the DJ Team to score the first point?"

"I bet on the Poet Team, a pack of spicy strips!"

"I bet on the DJ Team, staking three strands of hair! Go DJ Team, I believe in you!"

The other parrots, seeing their leaders vying for the ball, recognized the similarities to the tug-of-war game and immediately knew what to do.

They ran to the gaps beside their leaders and joined in the struggle for the small wooden ball!

However, each ball could only accommodate three to five parrots at most; those who couldn't get a hold of it simply stared blankly or ran around anxiously, chirping incessantly.

Jin Martin jerked his head side to side, then with a fierce tug, snatched the ball into his beak!

He wanted to rush toward the hoop with the ball, but he was completely surrounded.

If they lingered any longer, the ball would surely be taken away. Jin Martin glanced hastily and passed the ball to one of his lorikeet underlings, who "squawked" loudly to urge him on.

Carry the ball! Run with the ball quickly!

However, the underling, holding the ball in its beak, didn't seem to understand and dutifully stuffed the ball back to Jin Martin.

Look, boss, I got the ball for you!

Seizing the opportunity, Jinzhi snatched the ball in his beak, tossed it out, and Jingwen had already been waiting outside!

With the ball in his beak, he took off running, "tap tap tap" rapidly towards the goal.

Jin Martin was helpless about his underling misunderstanding his intentions!

But the game was too intense now to worry about that, he ran after it trying to intercept.

A flock of colorful parrots followed happily and excitedly, like a colorful river rushing over the riverbed.

This was much more interesting than the tug of war earlier!

Make no mistake, Jingwen carrying the ball, dodging and weaving, looked like a lone rider outpacing all others—it truly felt like an athletic competition!

Then, he brought the little wooden ball to the edge of the goal and tossed it in.

Fang Ye, grinning, commented, "Oh, the Poet Team has seized the ball, Jinzhi passed to Jingwen, and the two parrots, so loving to each other normally, obviously have great synergy. The Poet Team has scored the first point! Truly a couple united stands as strong as metal!"

The netizens watching this scene were boiling with excitement.

"OHHHHHHHH!! Broke through!"

"It's lit! This is hotter than brimming energy!"

"Holy crap, they even know how to pass and coordinate! I'm totally stunned watching this!"

"How do they know which goal to aim for? Did they get it just because the zookeeper pointed it out? Way too smart!"

"Look at these parrots, then look at my few dumb budgerigars at home, I'm just speechless."

"The zookeeper is the real MVP! Managing to recognize the parrots amongst so many."

After Jingwen successfully scored, he flew over to Fang Ye.

He came looking for his reward.

Fang Ye shook his head with a laugh, "You're quite eager, aren't you? Wait until the end of the game for your reward. Fine then, for scoring the first point, here is a big walnut for you."

Jingwen devoured the walnut with relish and quickly flew back to the game.

This little interlude also made the netizens laugh: "Reporting, a parrot is slacking in the competition!"

The match was still fiercely ongoing!

Fang Ye rapidly commented, "Jin Martin has got the ball! Other parrots blocked him, slowing him down, beginning a fierce struggle for possession!

This time he turned and passed the ball to Jingwu – it was a fantastic pass, they also learned to cooperate!

Jingwu's about to score, no! In a critical moment, Jinzhi rushed out, pulled off a block!

Jinzhi ran back, and the ball went in! The Poet Team scored two points in a row!"

If it weren't for the Eye of Observation to see their names, it would be real tough to distinguish who was who in such chaotic play.

The ball game was spectacular, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats!

"Can they really understand who their teammates are?"

"As long as the other parrots don't give the ball and pass it to the boss, that's the way to go!"

"Holy crap, they can block too!"

"Awesome!"

The parrots hadn't been specially trained and even though they followed their leader, they still caused some own goals, shooting the little ball into their own basket.

Or they would give the ball to whichever leader asked for it. If both leaders wanted the ball, it came down to whoever got there faster.
