A little carefully, you will find, in the county quietly rising wave of "aviculture hot."
A few years ago, the city also has aviculture, but not too "hot", now it is different. Roadside channel, tree, bird cage increased significantly, increasing the birds, the birds get worse miscellaneous, loud and clear, adding to the vitality of a small town in the spring.
Every set of county, city more lively birds, by the side of the county, except pigeons outside, between the wall and the trees covered cage. Birds are also many, lark, thrush, oriole, white, Acacia birds ...... vocals bad miscellaneous, birds Cha, simply become bird world. Here packed "aviculture fans", has evaluated the bird’s body and feathers, birds have ear to appreciate, there are bargain deal, here is the presence of birds and show the world who’s love of birds.
Since ancient times, people have some special affection for the birds, and many men of letters carefully written birds, bird painting, aviculture, enrich people’s spiritual life, cultivate a love of nature and sentiment. There are a couplet of the Alliance are: a bird in a cage, looking wise man, thought Zhang Fei, Guan Yu helpless. This levy for many years on the Union, not to good with a part of history hanging Union. Today, it has become increasingly easy leisurely life, cultural life has been the pursuit of high-level, since they kind of flowers, raised from birds to enrich their lives eight hours away.
Most county aviculture elderly people, but also middle-aged. They love birds such as sub, aviculture into crazy. On the cage, bird food great stress on the birds pose, ten birds will appreciate. Costly to buy some birds, bird feeders. Every dawn, put the bird cage hanging into the wild, so that the birds appeared, gallbladder practice, practice throat. Some birds on a jubilant, it was: "bird in a cage called, people jump on the ground," aviculture meet people one bird is their only topic.
There is a retired cadres Xu, fed with a Braun called very well, be proud of Xu in the "birders" in the. But Braun have problems, just the sight of it terrified Xu’s wife, in a cage than flap. Xu had to expel his wife went to her maiden. Upon a time, my wife came back from her parents, Braun saw, or hard flap, Xu frustration oust wife again. We joked: "The emperor would rather not want to beautiful country, the birds do not want to be old Ning wife."
"Aviculture hot" hooked up my childhood memories of aviculture. I grew up there aviculture habits and hobbies, even to the extent into the crazy ecstasy. At that time, mainly raising sparrows and swallows. Every spring, after the summer, is the breeding period of the birds. Sparrows and swallows in people’s minds the impression is different. Sparrow body is small, but complete organs, people often "Anatomy Sparrow" as an advanced working methods. Sparrow is a good habit in droves together "chirp" is not impetuous pragmatic image. Sparrow’s fate surly, once labeled the "four evils" hat, lifted off the sparrow referendum campaign, playing a lot of sparrows were arrested, clamps, drugs, and other drugs and died. Sparrow survival capability, built along its nest under the eaves or on tall buildings, chimneys, bridge opening. And so after a good nest, chicks began hatching sterile, the most difficult time is when the sparrow. Males and females to be rotated starving predator rearing chicks in the nest. Nestling high vigilance mom and dad, they fear that people find their nest somewhere, always quietly flew, and a height into the nest of a guard standing outside, for fear of damage was unexpected. Despite this, it still can not help but find the nest, because very hungry chicks in the nest issued a "chirp" sounds. Sparrow staunch nature, not feeding, if it is caught in a cage exceedingly wait, but it’s food, water does not enter, live and killed in the cage. To feed it, you must start from the chicks. Each child would have found a sparrow’s nest "stare" on chicks ready to dig, but to have a good time, dig early, is a "light Ding monkey," Hey fragmentation; dig late, grow up, difficult to tame . Chicks have grown much, dangling by observing the sparrow eating (grasshopper, grasshopper, etc.) to determine the size. Nestling hours, feeding feeding hypertrophy, as chicks grew, eating smaller down. According to the timing pulled chicks, who just put "raincoat", is suitable for domestication. I dig sparrow is very dangerous, and sometimes just run beside snake (snake) disk climb in nest under the eaves, it is to devour chicks. Sparrow see it going to hurt children, frantically cried residue, fly bumped, sometimes broken sparrow pecked his face and hands. Chicks grew up under the careful nursing, but also gradually understand human nature, saying, "Hey good" was. It flew jump in your hands, and sometimes they go out, no matter how far away you are, as long as you whistle sounds, it flew straight to your side.
A child, in addition to playing sparrows, swallows still play, but the heart to hurt over it. Listen to old people talk, swallow a lucky bird, the bird is the holy grail, to bring good fortune to live in someone give someone. Spring in March, teams of southern living in harmony with the spring swallows flew lightly. Swallow is a very beautiful bird, black feathers, long tails, under a bright red neck, sonorous sounds, people are very fond of it. Last year, after a pair of swallows south for the winter, they hastily flew back and raise their children. They can also find the original home, how their memory so well? A child does not understand and asked adults, adults, said:. "Swallow my heart because we remember the family, whether to fly away, but also to fly back," swallows come back, the first left-handed fly disk for a while in the house, Tan trembling wings fell on house and called for a while to shake the brain, such as the expression of joy and go out to the family. Then he drilled an arrow days away, and an arrow to flyby and go. It settled down on the people for its pre-hung wooden nail or a small basket. Then one by one sheet of yellow big mouth swallow seeking food exposed head, "squirt squirt cha cha," cried very cute. Once people are eating dinner at home, "Bata look," Swallow nest fall grain Xiaoyan feces happens falls on the table. No blame, no verbal abuse, the family fell laughed. Once, while listening to swallow nests in the Park edge, falling a swallowling, I put it in the hands of care, fed millet get busy, but reason to ignore it, my father explained to me: "do not swallow eat grain, crop-eating pests, beneficial bird is crops, we farmer friend. "I hurriedly put it where it will slowly grow nest.
How many years have passed, aviculture taste unabated, the first two years can not help but join the ranks of aviculture, chatting away on the set, went to the city to patronize some birds. One to the bird market, "bird lovers" who have staff and egg to me, because I started to be tentative, for fear of raising good, they could not bear to spend so much money to purchase support lark, thrush birds high level, but to let the easier to spend 10 yuan to buy the one cage with lacquer paint it again, just to spend one yuan to buy a bird, happily keep up.
This bird, "Ma cha", which sometimes grew up in reed grass, barren Goukan, called up quite loud crisp. Because it is wild, not a domesticated, so the exception Huangkong and fright back into the cage. It does not eat rice, do not drink, but desperately rushed out hit, like a lion banned. Especially when someone leaned edge of the cage, it is terrified and called knocked feathers scattered on the ground, sometimes also wings and mouth and bruises, bloody cage. Sometimes it could see the birds in the air passing on dementia stood still, eyes straight Leng Leng looked at the sky through the cage eye. Seeing like I naturally think of a couplet: "Heart had plenty of wing-like birds, beasts hate no body, such as the hoof." Heart vexation helpless, few want to fly, let it return to nature.
Experienced "birders" Tell me, "Ma cha" is a wild bird, have a domestication process, keep well, will grow bolder. I had to have patience and keep going, I hope it is soon to open throat tweet. To this day heading, it tends carefully, carefully seasoning, the steamed rice with egg yolk, grated on the food bowl, but also into the wild to catch grasshoppers, butterflies, insect cicada, improve their lives, strengthen nutrition.
After nearly six months in captivity, wild birds gradually lose the wild, it becomes docile, rich shiny feathers, most daring, sometimes cowardly habitat issue a "chirp" sounds, and seems to tell Zhongchang. When I approached the cage side, and I, as the exchange Xinyu, and I have forged friendships.
One day after work he first entered the door, I have not had time to see the bird cage hanging in the hospital, I heard a beep cage, although not as Braun, screamed as wan warble varied thrush, but also very deeply moved by the heart, it was a singing brought a fresh breath of wilderness, and the full House of rose, Jasmine echoes constitute Huaxiangniaoyu atmosphere.
We arrived late autumn, a Sunday morning, I just want to hang on the branches cage, suddenly found a bird early fall on a high branch waiting for this kind of birds (maybe a partner) will have been stuck in there how long. Bird cage birds seen a bird on a branch immediately stop moving, eyes cast a gloomy fog yarn and help. The bird on the branch jumping, not leaned, and dismay fly away. Gently caged bird sings loudly call, so mournful, pain, I think, they must be close pair in the wild unfortunately hit the net, caught imprisoned husband, wife fled for their lives. At this point I’m into extreme frustration, is to continue to break them? Or flying bird in a cage, to fulfill them?
It was a Sunday, I went to the cage to hang out and continued over the rice and water, waiting for exotic birds and cage birds meet again, but wait a day and have not seen its shadow, I abnormal disappointed, after dinner, I the Birdcage shift linked to the house, so as not to suffer heterogeneous and cream of bird kill harmful, then there is no point movement in the cage, the cage door was open - early bird flew away, I feel a burst of sorrow and grief, I think, this must be the god of compassion softened kennel let go of the bird in a cage, which might break out my contradictory dilemma.
The birds flew away, I instinctively put into place to hang the cage.
Dawn the next day, I did not get up, I heard birds singing tree there, went to stand under the window, through the glass to see caged birds flew back, and with that exotic birds standing on a branch. They jump up and down on the branches, low drone cry, restless. I was about to step closer, suddenly saw its cage had been imprisoned, they panic to escape, but soon fly back.
When it grew dark, two birds refused to fly away, I had waved them oust.
Both birds flew away and never came back, caught my nostalgia and care. In my opinion, ecological protection that is caring for the human mind, that is to cherish life beings cherish freedom, happiness and beauty. I silently wish: caged bird flew away, I hope you heal the trauma of being imprisoned, return to the embrace of nature, singing into the clouds, and bring back lost loved ones and the like, multiply the growth of huge family, and human coexistence with the Health . I often think that if our world is just being built on where they stand with the modern desire "Qionglouyuyu" occupied, no longer than a taste of the "two Oriole Ming Cui Liu, egrets on the sky line of" classic poetic; If we in this world only to be overwhelmed by the noise and the hustle and bustle with a blend of rock type sound, no longer feel "new ferry peach Swallows, robins go in front of willow" Teana lengthy, then our world What will become monotonous, Guawei and full of regret it? People in the world can not live without freedom of birds in this lively little lives, as if there is a breeze with clouds must be under the blue sky, there are clouds there must Xia Ni.
