A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 51 The case is solved! It's a golden eagle!
The next morning, Qi Yue got up and prepared to go out into the courtyard.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I heard a series of chirping sounds.

He immediately realized what was happening and walked over to the shoebox to check it.

Sure enough, the egg I found last night actually hatched into a baby bird!
The little guy was bald, with hardly any hair, and looked a bit ugly.

Birds are like that; they're ugly when they're young, but they become beautiful when they grow up.

Mammals are also cute when they are young, but they are not so cute when they grow up.

At that moment, the little guy looked up and saw Qi Yue.

It immediately raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and let out a series of cries.

Qi Yue hadn't expected the egg to hatch so quickly; he wasn't prepared at all.

Upon closer inspection, the chick was quite large, even larger than the small yellow chicks available on the market.

It's already this big right after it was born; it's clearly a large bird.

"It must be a bird of prey."

"It's still unclear what kind it is."

"That's easy enough. After all, feeding raptor chicks only requires feeding them meat."

Qi Yue identified the breed and immediately went to the kitchen to find fresh pork for it.

Birds of prey are carnivorous from birth.

Previously, a kestrel nested outside the glass of a high-rise apartment, and the owner fed the mother bird and chicks meat.

Later, they developed a bond with each other, and the kestrels came to breed every year.

Qi Yue found some fresh pork, cut it into small strips, and then used tweezers to feed the little guy little by little.

The little guy is really energetic; he swallows meat quickly whenever he sees it.

"This little guy is really tough."

"I don't know how many days have passed since I fell from the tree, but I was never carried away by a snake or a wild cat."

"I didn't know if it would survive when I picked it up, but it hatched overnight."

"I'm really into eating meat now."

"This is definitely a formidable character."

Qi Yue praised the little bird's actions.

The differences between individual animals are significant.

Some individuals are born with the qualities of a king, while others are somewhat sloppy.

Qi Yue fed the little guy several pieces of meat, and the little guy gradually calmed down after eating.

Then, with her eyes half-closed and her movements slowed, she gradually fell asleep.

Qi Yue thought the little guy was quite interesting.

Although it's a bit ugly now, if you raise it long enough, it might become quite stunning when it grows up.

Of course, you still need to report it to the police.

Otherwise, if we raise this little guy to adulthood, he might end up in jail.

Qi Yue immediately dialed the police and told them what happened, only saying that he found it while inspecting the mountains.

In the afternoon, the police station sent two officers to investigate the situation.

The police officer's name was Liu Kai. He was a burly man with a somewhat rugged appearance and a keen eye for detail.

After understanding the situation, Liu Kai communicated with the police station.

The dispatching tasks of local police stations are often quite outrageous, especially those near mountainous areas. Many times, passersby find injured protected animals and bring them to the police station.

After all, everyone knows that if there's a problem, you should call the police.

So Liu Kai has raised sika deer, owls, and macaques.

He really didn't want to raise them anymore.

This thing is really a hassle.

"Boss Qi, I heard you're quite good at raising animals. Your piglets can roll balls, and your rabbits know martial arts."

Liu Kai chatted with Qi Yue very politely.

"No, they figured it out on their own. I only take care of their food and water."

Qi Yue was telling the truth, but most people didn't believe him.

"You're too kind. Our scenic area also has a responsibility to protect wild animals."

Liu Kai inquired.

"Yes, there are. After all, there are wild animals in the mountains, so we have signed all the relevant procedures."

"According to the plan, a rescue center will also be built to help treat animals."

Qi Yue nodded.

"That's perfect. If possible, let's leave this little chick with the scenic area."

"We can't tell what breed it is right now. We'll come back and take a look when it grows a bit bigger."

"If there are any problems with the bird, just let me know."

Liu Kai revealed his purpose.

“Sure, no problem.” Qi Yue readily agreed.

The two hit it off immediately.

At this moment, Qi Yue seemed to remember something and said again:

"There's something else. Recently, a little fox keeps running to my place. I've fed it twice, and now it won't leave. Sometimes it even sleeps in the yard. Is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Kai explained:
"No problem, as long as you don't imprison it or interfere with its freedom, there's no problem."

"There are many wild animals in the mountains, which is normal."

After a few casual words, the matter was settled.

Another adorable little chick has joined Qi Yue's side.

However, he couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, since the birds were all bald.

It can only be roughly identified as a bird of prey, possibly an eagle, hawk, or falcon.

After the police left, Qi Yue looked at the little guy in the shoebox.

The little guy had just woken up and was looking up at Qi Yue.

"From now on, I will take care of you."

"Just don't take away my pets when you grow up."

Qi Yue said to the little chick with a smile.

The little guy couldn't understand what Qi Yue was saying; he just blinked his eyes, looking adorably silly.

"I'll give you a name, see which one you like."

"Just call out whichever one you like."

Qi Yue seemed to remember something and then spoke again.

"Xiao Fei?"

Qi Yue called out the first name, but the bird did not react.

"lightning?"

Toothless?

"Tom?"

"Diga?"

"Xiao Jin?"

"Squeak!"

Just as Qi Yue was calling it Little Gold, the little guy, as if possessed, raised its neck and squeaked.

"Xiao Jin?"

Qi Yue called out again, and then the fledgling chirped once more.

Qi Yue immediately smiled.

"With so many good names, they chose Xiao Jin."

At this point, Qi Yue seemed to have thought of something.

"Could you be a golden eagle?"

Qi Yue continued.

He looked at the chick and became more and more suspicious. Then he went online to check what golden eagle chicks looked like and found that they looked exactly like the chick.

Even their postures and movements are the same.

The case was solved immediately.

It really is a golden eagle!
"It really is a golden eagle!"

Qi Yue was extremely surprised.

The golden eagle, a Class I protected animal in China, is known as the king of birds of prey.

To put it simply, birds of prey are the kings of the sky, but other birds of prey can only call the golden eagle the king.

This creature is enormous and has an exceptional hunting ability.

Very fierce.

Qi Yue was very excited to see that the chicks were golden eagles.

"Keeping a golden eagle as a pet would be nice."

"If it's raised properly, it could even become a landmark of the scenic area."

He teased the little guy, who seemed extremely happy, chattering away.
Clearly, it has already recognized Qi Yue as its father.

However, teaching a golden eagle is not an easy task; it will also need to be taught to fly later.

Let it heal slowly, one step at a time.

Generally speaking, raising birds of prey is not allowed in China, but he can.

Because he has two mountains.

When the time comes, just say "I didn't raise it" or "I've already released it," and there won't be any problems.
