Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 969 Successfully Taking the First Step

After lunch, Wang An didn't even take a nap. He cut some fresh bear meat and caught a few small fish. Then Wang An carried Da Jin and Xiao Jin, caught Da Cang and Xiao Cang, and continued to go to the old yard to train eagles.

However, what was different from the morning was that after Wang An ran to the roof and threw the eagle for a while, he changed his training method.

Mainly in the morning, the four eagles were forced to fly. That is to say, if Wang An didn't throw them, they would not fly on their own initiative.

What Wang An had to do in the afternoon was to let them fly actively and habitually. Otherwise, it would be too inappropriate for the eagle, as a bird, to walk on the ground like a chicken.

After Wang An climbed onto the roof, he placed the four eagles on the roof, then climbed down the roof and walked to a place about 20 meters away from the house.

Several short whistles were heard in succession, and four eagles were seen running towards Wang An.

The reason why it is called a short whistle is because Wang An wants to distinguish the way of calling a dog and calling an eagle. Otherwise, if the dog and the eagle are the same, it will be very troublesome to enter the mountains in the future.

In fact, Wang An should have prepared a small whistle, a small whistle specifically for eagles, but Wang An found that the sound of blowing the small whistle was not as loud as the sound made by putting the thumb and index finger into the mouth.

Besides, each whistle has a different sound, and basically no two are exactly the same. So if you go into the mountains in the future and lose your whistle, what should you do if the eagle can't be called back?

These issues need to be thought about in advance.

Although Wang An whistled one after another, the four eagles were all on the roof, so when they ran to the edge of the eaves, they flapped their wings and braked suddenly.

It can be seen that the four eagles are very anxious because they have become accustomed to Wang An's whistle. As long as this short whistle sounds, it proves that Wang An is calling them.

You have to know that this memory was deeply planted in them by Wang An using the temptation of food since they were just able to move.

After a moment of stalemate, Wang An moved forward a few steps and whistled again.

I have to say, no matter what you do, the hardest thing is to take the first step. As long as the first step is taken, the rest of the way will be much easier.

This statement applies equally to humans and animals.

After Wang An took a few steps closer, the four eagles were still anxious, but they never spread their wings and flew over.

So Wang An took a few steps back, but the whistle never stopped.

Just like that, after several attempts, the four eagles still had no intention of taking the initiative.

To be honest, Wang An was a little anxious at this time, because according to the silk cloth, if the eagle was pulled like this for a long time, it would lose the sense of urgency, and it would be difficult to make it fly on its own.

After careful consideration, Wang An climbed up the ladder again and brought Xiao Jin, Da Cang and Xiao Cang down to the roof.

The reason for doing this is that Wang An discovered that since the four eagles grew up together, they are like brothers and sisters. As long as they are together, they will be dependent on each other.

Simply put, they currently lack independence.

After taking the three eagles off the roof, Wang An once again stood about 20 meters away from the house as before.

Sure enough, before Wang An could whistle, Da Jin started shouting and flapped its wings, trying to fly over.

It was obvious that it was panicking because Wang An and its three companions were far away from it. Wang An was delighted and turned his back to Da Jin and whistled.

After another stalemate, just when Wang An turned around to see what Da Jin was doing, he saw Da Jin flying towards him.

The corners of Wang An's mouth twitched and he laughed instantly.

I have to say, the joy of watching the eagle that I have carefully trained successfully take its first step is absolutely beyond words.

It was mainly Dajin's behavior, which also set a perfect example for the other three eagles, which is the most important thing.

To be honest, although the "eagle breeding method" mentioned on the silk cloth can produce more loyal eagles than the traditional "eagle training method", in fact, it is much more difficult to succeed with this "eagle breeding method" than with the traditional "eagle training method".

After all, the most difficult part of the "Eagle-Training Method" is just "Training the Eagle", because the process of training the Eagle is too hurtful, and after training the Eagle, it will take a long time for people to recover.

But you should know that the eagle trained in the traditional method is an eagle that can already hunt on its own. Such an eagle does not need to be taught anything except to listen to its owner.

But the "eagle training method" mentioned on the silk cloth is different, because this method relies on human training bit by bit, which is to let the eagle learn the skills that it should have, which is the most difficult.

You have to know that any animal, once it is raised by humans, will inevitably lose its wildness and some of its talents. How can it be possible to cultivate it again without going through some twists and turns?

In order to reward Dajin's performance and also to deepen Dajin's impression, Wang An took a piece of meat and fed it to Dajin.

After Da Jin swallowed the meat directly, Wang An climbed onto the roof again and placed Da Jin on it.

After taking the first step, the second step became very simple. As soon as Wang An blew his whistle, Da Jin flew over immediately, and its flight was very smooth.

So Wang An rewarded Da Jin with another piece of meat.

In this way, he came five times in total, and after feeding Dajin 5 pieces of meat, Wang An turned his gaze to Xiaojin.

Da Jin and Xiao Jin are the absolute main force in catching hanging sheep, so Wang An naturally has to train them first.

Xiao Jin's operation was almost exactly the same as Da Jin's, and in the end he also took the most critical first step.

Finally, Wang An put Da Jin and Xiao Jin on the roof at the same time. The two little guys no longer had their previous interdependence and fear. When the whistle sounded, they spread their wings and flew away in an instant.

Just as humans don't want to walk after they learn to ride a bicycle, and don't want to pedal a bicycle after they learn to ride a motorcycle, once an eagle learns to fly, it no longer wants to run on two legs.

After the two golden eagles had learned to fly, that is, when Wang An whistled, the two creatures would fly quickly towards Wang An, Wang An then turned his gaze to Da Cang and Xiao Cang.

Although the goshawks are of little use even if they grow up, Wang An has already raised them, so he will not give up on them.

What Wang An never expected was that training these two goshawks was actually much easier than training two golden eagles.

Of course, these two goshawks may also know that Wang An does not value them, so they are working very hard.
