Chapter 241 What kind of bird is this?
The bird-catching tools made of cow dung are actually very simple tools.
There is a large winnowing basket, about the size of a foot basin, woven from bamboo.
There is also a wooden stick and a very long thin rope.
Zhou Yue was a little confused. Could these things really be used to catch birds?
"Aniu, how can this thing catch birds?"
"Sister Yueyue, let me show you how to do it."
The cow dung was used to prop up one corner of the winnowing basket with a wooden stick, and a handful of rice was placed underneath the winnowing basket.
Tie a thin rope to the wooden stick that supports the winnowing basket.
Cow Dung took the other end of the thin rope and walked to a place ten meters away from the winnowing basket.
"Sister Yueyue, we just need to wait here, you will know soon!"
At this time, the whole world was covered in silver, the earth was covered with white snow, and this handful of rice looked particularly eye-catching.
After waiting for almost half an hour, a bird actually came over!
This bird seems to be larger than ordinary birds and does not look like a sparrow.
After landing, the bird went straight to the rice.
It is difficult to find food in winter, and I guess this little guy has been hungry for a long time. He went under the winnowing basket and pecked at the rice to eat.
Just when the little guy was eating happily, Cow Dung suddenly pulled the rope with his hand.
Then the wooden stick supporting the dustpan was pulled away, and the dustpan fell to the ground with a slam.
The bird was trapped under the winnowing basket. The frightened little creature flapped its wings inside, but could no longer fly away.
"Wow! I got it! I got it!"
"Brother Cow Dung is so awesome! So awesome!"
"Quick! Let's go get it out!"
Zhou Yue was stunned at this time. She didn't expect that it was possible to catch birds in this way!
Cow Dung carefully opened the dustpan a little and put his hand in.
He caught the bird with his hands and took it out for everyone to admire.
"This bird is much bigger than a sparrow, it must taste delicious!"
"This bird is so beautiful, I've never seen one before!"
Zhou Yue also touched the little creature's fur. It looked so strange. Zhou Yue had never seen anything like it in her life.
Zhou Yue, who was studious and inquisitive, asked the system.
[Tongzi, what kind of bird is this? Why have I never seen it before? ]
[Sister Yueyue, it's normal that you haven't seen it. After all, this bird was almost extinct before you were born.]
Zhou Yue was shocked by this and raised her eyebrows.
[Extinct? Tongzi, what kind of bird is this? ]
Then the system presented a piece of information in Zhou Yue's mind.
This little guy is called sickle-winged chicken, a kind of pheasant, named because its wings look like sickles.
Its distribution in China is extremely narrow, and it is only found in Heilongjiang Province. An adult weighs only about one kilogram.
They have nimble bodies, like to sing and dance in the trees, and are mysterious elves in the forest.
Unfortunately, it became extinct in our country in 2001.
Seeing this, Zhou Yue felt a little melancholy.
Such a cute little creature has become extinct! It no longer exists in this world, and future generations will never be able to see its beautiful face again!
It's really a pity...
"We'll grill them over a fire later. Sprinkle a little salt on them and they'll be delicious!"
"Hey, hey, good! Can you pluck these feathers and give me a few?"
Children of this generation, of course, have no idea what animal protection is, and they are already discussing how to make it more delicious.
Of course Zhou Yue couldn't just watch such a rare sickle-wing chicken being eaten like that.
"Aniu, can I play with this bird?"
