Forest protection starts with picking up a lynx girl

Chapter 363: In the end, the innocent egg took all the consequences

Chen Ying checked their injuries again with concern. After making sure that they were only superficial wounds, she felt at ease and went out to find Lao Gao to inquire about the situation.

Jin Ya and Xiao Jin each went to Brother Bao and Sister Bao to discuss the situation.

"That bunch of crows is really cunning."

Lao Gao sighed, "I've been doing bird research for so many years, and this is the first time I've been so miserable."

The flock of birds endured for a day and came back in two groups the next morning.

When the first group came, he thought they were observing the monkeys and never imagined they were observing him.

Before he could react, a swarm of crows flew over.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity and quickly got into the tent to avoid the attack.

Brother Leopard and Sister Leopard were also helping outside, and several small animals that specialized in catching birds also joined in. Otherwise, Lao Gao felt that he might have been the first person to die in the line of duty by being pecked to death by crows.

"These crows are too rampant. Is there no way to control their numbers?"

Too many of any organisms gathering in the same area can have adverse effects.

In the past, the crow colonies here probably only had a few hundred or a thousand crows, but this year, with the two large groups combined, there are probably tens of thousands of them.

Of course, it’s not just the Jiamugou where so many are gathered, but it refers to the approximate number in the area between Hualien Valley and Laoxionggou.

Moreover, they are mainly concentrated in the sparse wooded areas on both sides of the river in Laoxionggou, which is closer to the bird watching station.

"The bird watching station suffered even greater losses." Lao Gao curled his lips. "The chick nursery over there was almost completely destroyed. If a few staff members hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and put up the diamond nets, all the birds would have died."

Chen Ying hissed and became even more curious. What could have happened to offend these crows so badly?

Crows are annoying, fierce and aggressive, but they usually won't attack humans.

Unless someone did something impolite to the crow and the crow held a grudge against him.

As for Lao Gao, it was probably because he watched the fight between the crows and the monkeys, and later went to the place where the monkeys were lurking to check the situation, so the crows thought he was in cahoots with the monkeys.

Another possibility is that the guy who took the bird eggs was near Lao Gao, and for some reason the crows judged that they were accomplices and launched an indiscriminate attack.

If you want to find out the answer to this question, you can only ask the crow.

There is no rush to solve this problem. Crows will not come to the first aid station to cause trouble anyway, and the big and small cats here are not vegetarians.

However, Chen Ying never expected that Jin Ya would be so angry because of Sister Bao's injury.

It pulled Xiao Jin out of the door, and didn't know how the little animals were coordinated. At around five o'clock the next morning, a colleague from the rescue center's observation station called.

"What? The crows were driven away? And some small animals were injured?"

Chen Ying's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He quickly got up, put on his coat, and called Ruan Mengmeng to go with him to check out the situation.

When it comes to bandaging and cleaning wounds, Xia Sen's speed is really not as fast as Ruan Mengmeng's.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw a mess.

There weren't many bird carcasses, but there were plenty of feathers, and a few unlucky squirrels and mustelids were beaten to death.

Chen Ying didn't bother looking for the "culprit". He found a piece of open space and asked Ruan Mengmeng to lay out a waterproof mat, and then a layer of sterilized sheets and non-woven sheets, which became a temporary first aid station.

For those with minor injuries, Chen Ying comforted them and handed them over to Ruan Mengmeng to clean and bandage the wounds. For those with more serious injuries, he personally took care of them, giving injections and suturing them, and was so busy that his neck was about to break.

Lao Gao and his younger classmates also came to help after hearing the news.

They are mainly responsible for dealing with bird carcasses and injured birds.

Junior sister Gao helped Ruan Mengmeng in order to speed up the process.

Within half an hour, people from the maintenance station came to help clean up the scene.

The main damage included broken tree branches, affected aviaries, and even countless broken bird eggs on the ground.

In today's battle between birds and beasts, the final victims are basically the baby birds that have not yet had a chance to be born.

"No, we have to find a way to control it. There are too many birds here, and they attract a lot of small animals that catch birds and steal their eggs."

The final result of these layers of influence is that the biological carrying capacity of Jiamugou exceeds the standard.

Lao Gao scratched his head, feeling that his already thin hair was about to be reduced again.

"I think you should consider whether many birds will give up coming here to lay eggs and hatch them next year."

With the help of the forest rangers at the management station, Chen Ying finally managed to rescue all the injured animals.

Those with minor injuries were given medicine, sprayed with hemostatic glue and anti-inflammatory drugs, and then released.

Only those little ones who were seriously injured and unable to move were put into cages and sent to management stations.

For cases with more serious conditions, Chen Ying has to take them back to the emergency station for a minor operation, and then transfer them to the rescue center at the foot of the mountain for follow-up treatment and accommodation.

After finishing the work, Chen Ying stood up, patted his waist, looked around, and called Jin Ya in a cold voice.

Lao Gao knew Chen Ying wouldn't speak without a purpose, so he leaned in closer and asked in a low voice, "Why, was it Jin Ya who did it?"

"It's almost certain that the little guy came here to avenge Sister Leopard." Although Jin Ya thought it did nothing wrong, Chen Ying felt that if it was just a natural fight, it would be fine.

Now it is obvious that Jinya possesses intelligence that normal lynxes do not have, and its way of doing things is more like that of humans. If this continues, it will not be good for either itself or the forest.

Before he came to do this job, his teacher repeatedly told him not to get too close to animals or develop too many emotions with them, otherwise problems would arise.

He wanted to listen to the teacher's advice, but who can resist a furry girl acting cute to you?

Now that things have come to this, he should try his best to guide her. What else can he do?

In the battle between reason and emotion, most people will eventually be defeated by emotion.

I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, but only two or three minutes had passed.

Jin Ya timidly poked her head out from another tree.

Behind it, Xiao Jin was also observing Chen Ying's expression.

"Okay, both of you, come down and show me if you are injured."

When Jin Ya saw that Chen Ying was not angry, she immediately smiled and moved closer to Chen Ying and acted coquettishly.

The cute girl's appearance and the old man's voice can make people sober instantly.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​bringing everyone here to catch birds?"

"No, I told the yellow-throated marten and the giant civet, and then they found other guys to come over."

Jin Ya lay down, hugged Chen Ying's calf, and looked at him aggrievedly.

"A lot of my hair has been pecked off. I'm not pretty anymore."

Chen Ying originally wanted to teach it a lesson with a stern face, but when he saw Jin Ya licking the hair that was pecked off, he immediately squatted down with a look of heartache to check.

Those crows were so damn annoying that they pecked several small wounds on Jin Ya's body, all of which were scabby.

"And Xiao Jin, he's also injured."

Chen Ying grabbed Xiao Jin and touched him, and sure enough, there were more blood scabs on Xiao Jin's body.

After rubbing the two troublesome cats vigorously, Chen Ying told them to go back to the first aid station and ask Xia Sen to help them treat their injuries.

The medicine in his box was almost used up, and he had to save some in case other injured animals needed it.

After coaxing Jin Ya and Xiao Jin away, the statistics over there were also out.

The person in charge of statistics felt a pain in his cheeks when he saw the list.

"Hiss, this time it was a big commotion. A total of 27 animals were injured, five of them seriously. The civet cat was the most seriously injured, followed by three yellow-throated martens, and a civet cat had a broken bone."

Among other slightly injured animals, yellow-throated martens were the most numerous.

"I watched the video and found that besides them, there was also a golden cat and two ocelots joining the fight. But there was no trace of them at the scene, so they were probably not seriously injured."

Chen Ying looked through the records and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there are no particularly large animals involved, so the threat to the birds is not great, and they probably won’t abandon this place next year.

On the other hand, statistics on bird injuries have also come out.

Two artificial aviaries were scrapped and as many as twenty to thirty bird nests were destroyed.

The damaged eggs only revealed at least five species of birds, and a bird was also found at the scene, having died together with the attacking snake.

The people at the Bird Research Institute had ugly expressions on their faces, especially two young men who looked like green hands. They lowered their heads and kept raising their hands to wipe their eyes.

Lao Gao hadn't said anything at first, but after listening for a while, he suddenly exploded.

"Speak, speak, speak. If you are so capable, why didn't you come to stop it? I looked at the records. You should have been on duty last night. Two classmates also reported it to you. Did you handle it? Now you blame others for not handling it in time, causing serious consequences. Then where were you? If you were on duty, you were responsible for sleeping?"

Lao Gao didn't give him much face. After all, he was the other party's senior, and the teacher's status was also high, so why should he be afraid of him?

Other people at the Bird Research Institute didn't like this guy either. When they heard Lao Gao scolding him, no one came to help and say a word.

The man was so angry that he thought for a long time and blurted out "This is an internal matter of our bird watching station", but was slapped back by Lao Gao with a chuckle.

Finally, someone nearby couldn't help it anymore, so he pulled the man aside and whispered, "Our bird watching station is administratively supervised by the rescue station. Teacher Chen Ying and Teacher Gao are our superiors."

Chen Ying watched for a while and was too lazy to pay attention. He decided to let Lao Gao, the bird expert, deal with those who played with birds.

The five animals to be sent to the rescue center have had their wounds treated and are now all put into cages, with the help of forest rangers taking them to the first aid station.

After a simple operation there, someone from the rescue center will come to pick them up.

The other few little ones who were not seriously injured but needed dressing changes and observation were put into two cages separately and sent directly to the animal house at the management station. After about a week or ten days, they can be released to the original place.

Chen Ying arranged a place for the injured animals to go. Then she looked at Lao Gao and saw that the guy who was trying to pass on the blame had already left in anger.

Lao Gao took the two poor guys on duty and put the bird in need of rescue into a cage, covered it with a light-proof cloth, and then had people from the Bird Research Institute carry the cage to the bird watching station.
