Chapter 459 Hunting Birds

Li Xuan nodded, as a way of agreeing with Chen Tianfeng's words.

Seabirds are birds that can adapt to the marine climate environment.

Most seabirds are quite different from other birds in terms of their living habits, attitudes, and physiological functions.

Seabirds generally have a strong convergent evolution, so the ecological positions of all seabirds are very similar.

In terms of life characteristics, seabirds generally live longer than other birds.

It's just that seabirds generally give birth later, so they all have the problem of population aging.

This is because seabirds enjoy their youth more than other birds.

Most species of seabirds live together in groups ranging from dozens to millions.

Many seabirds migrate regularly every year, and the distances involved are long. It is not uncommon to fly across the equator or around the earth.

Many seabirds are able to forage on the ocean surface or underwater, so most of the time, there is no shortage of food for seabirds.

Aging, combined with other reasons, has led to the vast majority of seabirds, which are now on the verge of extinction.

Seabirds have a long history of getting along with humans, and they can also be used as a compass in the sea, guiding fishermen to fishing places, or leading sailors to near shore.

However, human activities that destroy the ecology have made many types of seabirds endangered, and the problem is becoming more and more serious.

Li Xuan looked around, and said: "Puffins generally don't go to the shore. Although they can fly and swim, they can't live on the water for a long time, and they also need to sleep and rest. Nearby, they should There are islands."

Chen Tianfeng also nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, otherwise, these puffins would not be able to survive here."

Islands are paradise for birds.

There are nearly [-] species of birds on Baodao, the largest island in my country.

The Nansha Islands and Xisha Islands are even more populated by seabirds, with bird eggs everywhere.

For a long time, the red-footed boobies, brown boobies and other seabirds living in Liangsha have flocked in tens of millions, and the excrement on the island accumulated into layers and became phosphate rock.

Guano is the best resource of phosphate fertilizer. All islands in the South China Sea produce guano. It is estimated that there are more than 20 tons of guano stored on Yongxing Island alone.

In addition, many uninhabited islands along the coast of my country are also places where seabirds such as seagulls and herons inhabit, and are veritable kingdoms of birds.

Chen Tianfeng looked at Li Xuan, and suddenly pointed out: "The hunting bird resources in the sea are very rich, not much less than the fishery resources. As long as you have the ability to catch them, you can make a lot of money by catching birds."

"Hunting bird?" Tang Yuting wondered, "What kind of bird is this?"

Li Xuan explained: "Hunting birds do not refer to a certain type of bird, but to food or feather birds with economic value. Generally, they require large body size, fresh and tender meat, and thick down feathers."

"Of course, the most important thing is to protect animals."

Tang Yuting pointed to the two puffins and asked, "Are these two puffins hunting birds?"

Li Xuan nodded, "Yes, hunting birds are not protected animals in our country. They are only protected in certain areas of Liaodong."

Hunting birds can be found all over the country. For example, Poyang Lake, Hongze Lake, and Weishan Lake hunt a considerable number of waterfowl such as geese and ducks every year. The highest record in history has reached 30 kilograms.

Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake, Dongting Lake and other places are also important waterfowl production areas.

Coastal and riversides are also important producing areas for various waterfowl, and the vast mountainous and hilly areas are also important hunting grounds for various pheasants.

In addition to edible value of many birds, their down is also an industrial raw material, such as goose and duck down feathers are used as thermal insulation filling materials, and are deeply loved by people because of their soft feathers and good thermal performance.

Many birds have beautiful shapes, gorgeous feathers, or melodious songs, so they become people's viewing objects.

There are many kinds of ornamental birds in our country, such as the red-billed lovesickness bird with bright plumage, oriole, embroidered eye, peacock, and asura.

Thrushes and larks with beautiful singing voices.

There are also parrots and mynahs that can imitate human speech.

Beautiful red-crowned cranes, lady cranes and so on.

The hunting value and ornamental value of birds are only a small part of the contribution that birds make to human beings.

The main performance of the contribution of birds to human beings is to eliminate agricultural and forest pests and maintain the ecological balance of nature.

However, although my country's bird resources are relatively rich, they have been severely damaged due to people's arbitrary hunting and hunting.

Li Xuan looked at Chen Tianfeng, "Brother Feng, are you going to catch these two puffins?"

Chen Tianfeng shook his head first, "I can't catch it."

Then Chen Tianfeng asked again: "Brother Li, you do this professionally, what can you do?"

Li Xuan was quite speechless, "Since when did I become specialized in this?"

Chen Tianfeng laughed, "Aren't fishing and bird hunting both hunting?"

Li Xuan shrugged, "In the sea, if you want me to catch two seabirds that can fly, then I really can't help it."

Chen Tianfeng sighed immediately when he heard the words, "It's a pity that two such fat puffins can only be seen, but cannot be caught."

Li Xuan shook his head with a smile, "Actually, compared to these two puffins, I am more concerned about where there is a small island nearby."

Chen Tianfeng glanced at Li Xuan, gave a thumbs up and said, "You still have to be you, brother Li. When I was still thinking about how to catch these two horned puffins, brother Li directly thought of the old nest of the horned sparrow, and brought them all together. gone."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in these two horned sparrows, nor in those seabirds on the island." Li Xuan shook his head.

"Brother Feng, do you know Xingdao?" Li Xuan asked.

Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows, "I've heard of it, I heard that Brother Wang's family still has some business over there, but I seldom go to Star City, and it's because the Fire Dragon Hotel opened recently that I often come to Star City. I haven't been there, why?"

Li Xuan pointed to the sea and said: "Actually, there are many islands in our Yulong Bay. These islands are of different sizes and small. They even go directly to the bottom of the sea when the tide rises. They can only be seen when the tide is low. , the big one, not much smaller than Xingdao, in the past, in Yulong Bay, there were quite a few fishermen who went to various islands to catch the sea."

Chen Tianfeng asked in surprise, "Island not much smaller than Xingdao?"

Li Xuan nodded, "Not to mention, I have just been to an unnamed island, and it takes more than half an hour to walk around at a normal walking speed."

Chen Tianfeng's eyes lit up immediately, "If you walk around for more than half an hour, then this can be regarded as a big island."

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, believing that with Chen Tianfeng's business acumen, he could already think of countless ways to develop these deserted islands.
