I have a wildlife zoo

Meng Shi and a few robust animal keepers carried the transfer cage down, while Lan Li was recording on the side.

Black Whirlwind anxiously shrank into the corner of the cage, blinking his small eyes and peering at the outside world through the gaps!

By the time they had reached the destination, the anesthesia had almost worn off.

Fang Ye opened the cage door and blew a whistle.

After observing the environment, Black Whirlwind felt both nervous and frightened, unsure of what was going on today.

After hesitating for a bit, he suddenly took off, running wildly like a black whirlwind.

Another transfer cage was opened, and Maymay also bolted, with several piglets frantically following behind her.

Maymay hid behind a distant tree, waiting for the piglets to catch up before they all disappeared into the mountains.

Fang Ye waved and smiled, "Goodbye!"

Linhai had a relatively small population of wild boars, so it was better to release them.

The piglets needed to follow their parents to learn survival skills in the wild; otherwise, the golden period for growth and learning would be wasted in the zoo.

In the future, when it’s time to build a native animal exhibition area, he could file a request with the Forestry Bureau and catch a couple of wild boars to bring back.

The overall population of wild boars is relatively large, so if the zoo needs to display a few, capturing them is not a problem.

...

In the early morning, Fang Ye woke up to cheerful birdsong.

Standing by the window, he drew the curtains, and gentle Sunshine immediately poured in.

He took a breath of fresh air, stretched leisurely, and gazed out at the lush greenery.

Before he went downstairs, he heard the sound of cooking from the kitchen—a whiff of egg aroma made its way into his nose.

Lan Li, wearing an apron, was bustling about in the kitchen.

Although they usually ate in the canteen or brought breakfast back from the canteen, she occasionally felt like cooking herself.

Cooking by hand felt more intimate when eating.

Having just finished cooking the eggs, she heard him and cheerfully greeted, "Good morning!"

"What are you making?"

"Tomato and egg noodles, they’ll be ready soon."

After Fang Ye washed up, while Lan Li was seriously cooking the noodles, he took the opportunity to pick up Huahua for a stroke.

Huahua squinted, yawned widely, and looked as if she had not had enough sleep.

Fang Ye laughed, "You lazy cat, alright, continue sleeping."

He then took a stroll in the backyard to check the vegetables planted there!

Lately, he had planted cucumbers and tomatoes; the green seedlings were stretching out their leaves, looking quite pleasing to the eye.

"Time to eat!"

The noodles were cooked quickly, and after a while, Lan Li called out from the living room.

The noodles emitted steam, sprinkled with some chopped green onions. The red of the tomatoes, the yellow of the eggs, and the green of the onions combined made it look very appetizing and released an enticing aroma.

Fang Ye slurped a mouthful and complimented, "It’s pretty good."

Lan Li blushed with embarrassment at the praise!

Tomato and egg noodles were so simple, it would’ve been embarrassing if they hadn’t turned out well.

...

After breakfast, the livestream began.

"Here it comes!"

"First!"

"Director, not to criticize you, but can you make it longer? It’s always so short!"

"Exactly, my pig is more diligent than you are!"

"Hey, being able to find time to live stream once a week is pretty good already."

Fang Ye didn’t rely on live streaming for income, usually streaming whenever he felt like it, sometimes even disappearing for ten days to half a month.

"What’s the Director streaming today?"

Fang Ye said with a smile, "It’s bird breeding season recently, and our Linhai Zoo has received quite a few rescue calls, and we’ve taken in quite a number of birds. I’ll take you to see the rescued birds, and along the way, talk about what to do if you encounter similar situations.

Just yesterday, our rescue center received a call saying there was a pigeon laying eggs on someone’s balcony. Have you guys ever encountered this situation? Let me show you a photo."

He flipped through his phone for the photo sent by the person seeking help yesterday.

There was a bird squatting in an empty flowerpot on a balcony, looking somewhat scared.

It looked a lot like a pigeon, but around its neck was a black ring dotted with many white spots, similar to a neck ring studded with diamonds.

Although afraid, it remained still, pressing its body low against the flowerpot.

You could see a white egg beneath it.

Fang Ye explained, "When we talk about pigeons we’re usually referring to domestic pigeons or carrier pigeons. This bird is a spotted dove! Collared doves are part of the pigeon family indeed, and they do look quite similar, often getting mixed up with pigeons."

"I heard ’pigeon’ and guessed it might be a collared dove!"

"Haha, there’s a bird nesting on my window. I haven’t opened the windows for months because I don’t want to disturb them!"

"Wow, that’s a pretty rare experience!"

"A few years ago, there was a collared dove that built a nest on my windowsill, and it eventually hatched two fuzzy little doves. My two kids loved to watch the dove family from behind the window, and they didn’t fly away either."

"I’m envious, I wish birds would come and disturb me like that!"

"It’s still better not to watch them too often, better not to scare them; otherwise, it’s not good if they get nervous and abandon the nest."

"That’s true, maybe they became alert because we observed them frequently. After the little doves left the nest, they never came back. It feels a bit regrettable thinking about it."

"My grandma’s house had a swallow’s nest under the eaves. When I was young and naive, I poked at the swallow’s nest with a bamboo pole, and as a result, the eggs fell to the ground and broke, with the little swallows almost ready to hatch inside. It truly makes me sad to think about it. If I encounter birds nesting now, I’d definitely treat them well."

The online audience started discussing fervently.

Fang Ye said with a laugh, "The collared dove is a widely distributed and common bird!

Their most famous characteristic is their sloppiness in nest building, laying eggs just about anywhere, as long as the eggs don’t roll away.

The most common nesting places are windowsills; choosing a flowerpot on the balcony like this one is already being picky—ensuring the eggs won’t fall through at least.

There are also those who build nests in the tiny space between air conditioners and walls, in the baskets of bicycles, or even in pants if they haven’t been taken off the laundry line for a while, building nests in the pants."

The online audience was amused to no end!

"Hahaha! Can they really build nests in pants?"

"That’s indeed the epitome of sloppiness!"

"Awesome, aren’t they afraid the eggs will fall out?"

Fang Ye said, "Even if they fall out, it’s not a big deal. Collared doves are at the bottom of the food chain, and their reproductive strategy is to breed in large numbers. They lay several clutches a year, ensuring some of their offspring survive.

It’s quite common for collared doves to build nests on balconies or windowsills like this one. If you come across this, you don’t have to do anything.

A quick glance actually isn’t a problem, and it’s okay to go get some clothes from the balcony or something like that. Just don’t scare them. If they get too frightened, they might abandon the nest and leave."

Watching the audience’s comments, they all said they wouldn’t scare the birds, and Fang Ye felt quite relieved.
