Chapter 988: . Touch the Mastiff Ass (4/5)

Once winter arrives, even with the support of the heart of the pasture, the growth rate of the forage grass is still reduced to the slowest point of the year. The forage grass in this season is completely dependent on the old roots.
In this case, Wang Bo believes that the priority of the pasture is to reduce the consumption of pasture, especially to reduce the damage to the pasture by some animals.
For example, prairie possums, these rats are particularly fond of grazing roots, and they are very good at burrowing underground, so every winter, many forages are destroyed by possums.
Wang Bo said this, the cowboys nodded, and Peterson said, "Yes, this is a headache for all ranchers, but what does this have to do with the pecking parrot?"
"Of course it matters. We saw that the pecking parrot is fierce, capable of flying, strong in motion, and has a strong predator ."
"So, can we tame these pecking parrots and use them to hunt opossums? Let them work for us so that they have food and will naturally not attack our sheep."
Sheep parrots are a very social bird species. They like to live in groups, which is also a favorable condition for dealing with possums.
There are too many possums. A few parrots have no effect on them, and a few parrots are not worthy of being Wang Bo to domesticate them.
"This is an idea. This bird is an opportunist. When they are hungry, they will attack various small animals. Their movements are as agile as a fierce eagle. If you use them to deal with opossums, then Rats are in trouble. "Cousins ​​nodded.
In fact, according to research, pecking parrots did not attack the flock at first, after all, to them, sheep are foreigners to New Zealand, they are indigenous.
Just before the sheep arrived in New Zealand, because they had many parasites on them, these worms were one of the food for sheep parrots, so the parrots flew on them to catch the parasites to eat.
Due to some accidental opportunities, they pecking the sheep's skin and eating the meat of the sheep, they found that the taste of the meat was better, so they gradually changed their eating habits.
Wang Bo saw this research and had the idea to train them to deal with possums.
Apparently, the recipes for sheep parrots can be changed, and they can change quickly. When they find that possums are also great food, they will actively catch possums.
In this way, what Wang Bo has to do is to make parrots think that eating possums is more suitable than eating mutton.
Peterson didn't quite agree with his approach and shook his head: "You may not know, Boss, the pecking parrots usually have nowhere to stay, most of them are nomadic foraging, they will not stop somewhere."
"No, my man, they will stay. The sheep-pecking parrot is not stupid. The sunset town is beautiful and the people are kind. When they find that there is a lot of food here, why do they leave?"
Peterson laughed: "You overestimate the IQ of the birds."
Wang Bo laughed without saying a word. He had absolute confidence, because there was a heart of the bird's nest in the box of the heart.
There are several hills on the edge of the southeast corner of the pasture. In the past few years, the sunset town has been planting trees every year. These hills had no trees. Now they are planted with some fir trees and pine trees.
He took out the heart of the bird's nest and placed it in the center of the hills.
The heart of the bird's nest spreads on the ground, covering the entire hill.
It seems that it could have extended into the ranch, but the hearts of the two territories could not be superimposed. In the end, the heart of the bird's nest controlled the position of the hills and some grasslands in the future.
The next thing to do is to capture these pecking parrots and domesticate them to catch mice.
Seeing Wang Bo's ambition for this matter, Peterson shrugged: "Okay, boss, you are the boss, I listen to you, let's try it, maybe you can domesticate them into a master rat hunter."
Coxie did not approve of this, she shook her head: "I don't think it would be better to mobilize the townspeople to catch rats. This is how he cleaned the possums in the past when I worked in Kered's ranch."
"Maybe we can do both." Wang Bo laughed.
Peterson rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, let's start working. The first thing to do now is to grab the pecking parrot."
Coxie said: "It's not difficult. It's difficult to get rid of the pecking parrots, but it's too easy to catch them. These little idiots, they are naturally curious about anything new, as long as they find something strange. Things will definitely come forward and look. "
This is the nature of sheep parrots, in order to be able to quickly find any food that can be belly-swelled.
Wang Bo nodded and said: "That being the case, let's decorate the hills and get some food to seduce them, maybe they will like it here."
"Boss, you are too idealistic." Peterson laughed.
This is not his idealism. He thinks that the plan is feasible, especially the pecking parrots are really fierce. Of course, they can be said to be stupid.
The herd's unrelenting resistance fueled the arrogance of these birds, scattered across the pasture, chasing the panicked fat goats.
Since the past fall, the flocks completed the task of Timothy, so they grew fat, ran slowly, and couldn't shake off the birds.
The birds don't even have to fly, they can catch up with the sheep by just jumping on those two short legs.
They have strong short legs and sharp claws.
In Wang Bo's eyes, this is a good tool for dealing with possums.
But they were a little too arrogant, too blindly confident, and ran, a sheep-pecking parrot bumped into the prince who was patrolling.
The princes are carefully trained and they do not hunt casually in the pasture unless they encounter hares or wild rats and pecking parrots are not within their target range.
So, although the birds were spotted early, they did not attack.
In the eyes of a pecking parrot, the eldest prince is just a black quadruped. What is a quadruped? Their food!
Found that the eldest prince was blocking his way, the pecking parrot jumped up quickly, jumped to the eldest prince's back with a thunderbolt, and lowered his head to his butt.
The eldest prince, who was thinking about what they were, was bitten by this moment. It really hurts!
The Rottweiler is a well-known mastiff. The eldest prince is extremely fierce. He is very good at fighting and shakes off the sheep-pecking parrot.
Then, turning around, the eldest prince opened his mouth and bite at the big parrot, grinning his teeth and murderous!
The big parrot was intimidated by the sudden murderous anger, staring at the big prince with a cute look. If it could speak, Pharaoh guessed that it would definitely say: I am so cute, are you willing to eat me?
The eldest prince was definitely willing, but he didn't, and he shouted hard, "Prince, come back!"
