Chapter 368

"The satellite computer can count clearly. I asked. There are about 2.2 million birds flying this time. It is a rare large-scale short tailed babbler group in recent years. You can get 220000 yuan a day." Hamley has a lucky look on your boy's face.

Qin Shiou is really happy to hear that the Canadian government is good, and the protection of fishery owners is in place. According to Sark's estimation, these birds will stay for a week, that is, an income of about 1.5 million yuan, which is much more cost-effective than fish farming.

However, instead of directly putting the money on the card, the government gave him an equivalent shopping voucher and asked him to go to the seawater production company to buy fish feed, fish medicine or fish fry, shrimp fry, crab fry and so on.

In short, the Canadian government is also working hard to protect and develop fisheries.

Short tailed babblers are fat and small. They don't look amazing. In fact, they are global migratory birds. They fly across the whole earth twice a year.

From the beginning of May every year, they will gradually wander in small groups to the North Pacific, from the equator to the north, through Japan, the Ogasawara Islands and California to the east coast of Canada, and then fly all the way to the Arctic.

Therefore, Qin Shiou didn't see them before, because they didn't pass through the Atlantic Ocean during the transfer in the first half of the year.

In the second half of the year, that is, in November, they will fly east from Alaska to Newfoundland, and then fly all the way along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands, where they spend the cold winter.

Short tailed babblers are a help to fishery owners and can ask the government for compensation, but their damage to the fishery is indeed true, so shack asked later whether to find a way to drive away these seabirds in advance.

Qin Shiou shook his head and refused. Migration is the nature of seabirds. Before saying goodbye to the island and establishing a fishing ground, these seabirds left here. People can't be so overbearing. In fact, they occupy the living space of these seabirds. It's natural for them to feed and rest here.

After listening to his words, Winnie smiled sweetly with him. Qin Shiou didn't know what to laugh at.

Not only did Qin Shiou not drive away the short tailed babblers, but Qin Shiou did not deliberately catch them.

Short tailed babbler is a kind of bird with good meat quality, but it is difficult to catch it because its habitat is either very south or very north. Only when they migrate through a place can people there have a good meal.

When they learned that the short tailed babblers had arrived at the farewell Island, many people in St. Johns came with a bird net. The birds were so dense that they could catch more than a dozen or even dozens of them. This was a real "beating roe deer with a stick, scooping fish with a ladle, and pheasants flying into the rice pot.".

Qin Shiou hated this act of hunting wild animals. He issued a statement with Hamley: private fishing ground, refused to enter.

In this way, if people in St. Johns want to hunt short tailed babblers, they can only go to public fisheries.

But the public fishing ground in the small town gathers many tourists, and the Chinese cameras are snapping there. If they hunt short tailed babblers, they will be disgraced and thrown abroad.

I have to say that the quality of Canadians is still good. The party walked around with a bird net, and finally walked away with a few birds.

After staying in the fishing ground for six or seven days, the short tailed babbler group embarked on the expedition again in the early morning of the end of November.

Qin Shiou became a witness. Standing on the dock, countless seabirds seemed to get instructions suddenly. They spread their wings and flew up from the sea, forming a cloud with almost no edge to fly to the South

The tiger and leopard stay on the beach with some melancholy. These days they have a good time with the short tailed babblers, or they have a good time with the short tailed babblers. These birds fly away, and the day will be boring again.

Looking at the figure of the short tailed babblers slowly disappearing, Qin Shiou's shocked mood has not subsided for a long time. He carefully took a photo and spread it to the space, with a name: the greatness of life.

The seabirds disappeared at the sea level. Qin Shiou walked slowly down the wharf and took a look at the beach. Shit, there are a lot of white things. What is this? Bird shit?

Watch carefully. Qin Shiou is happy all of a sudden. These are bird eggs! A lot of eggs!

Yes, there are many gray and white bird eggs scattered on the vast beach. Qin Shiou only found 12 bird eggs in the beach of more than 100 square meters around him. How much would it cost if he turned over the whole beach?

When the birds left, shack sea monster and others took the box to the beach. They lined up and began to look for bird eggs.

Qin Shiou ran over and asked, "is this what you call the gift of seabirds? Ha ha, a lot of bird eggs, really good. "

Shack said with a smile, "this is just a small gift, boss. There are more important gifts behind."

"Don't spoil the boss's appetite. Tell him the truth." Said the sea monster.

Shack nodded and said, "it's the fishery doctor. The excreta of the short tailed babbler has attracted the fishery doctor. Peter Songyan shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, Squilla and other shrimps have come to our fishery."

After listening to Sark's introduction, Qin Shiou knew that short tailed babblers like to eat shrimp, but as we all know, shrimp are marine benthos, that is to say, they live on the seabed.

In this way, it is difficult for short tailed babblers to capture these foods. Long-term evolution has made their excreta contain a mineral phosphorus. These mineral phosphorus are essential for the growth of shrimp such as Peter Songyan shrimp, hedgehog shrimp and Squilla. They will follow to find food.

Every place where the short tailed babblers stop to rest will slowly attract a large number of shrimps such as Peter pine rock shrimp, hedgehog shrimp and Squilla, which is a compensation for the fishing ground.

Qin Shiou wanted to control Poseidon consciousness and go to the sea to have a look, but shack and others were picking up bird eggs, and he also participated.

The breeding period of short tailed babblers is from the end of September to the beginning of May next year. During this period, they will lay eggs. In these seven days, more than two million short tailed babblers laid at least tens of thousands of eggs on the beach of the fishing ground.

Birds' eggs gather in several concentrated places, which is related to the breeding habits of short tailed babblers. They like to nest in caves on the coast or island and often nest together in large groups. Therefore, the nests are quite dense, with an average of one nest per square meter.

These nests are simple. The mother bird will dig a sand nest with her claws and sit in it to lay eggs. If it is a habitat in the Arctic in September, the short tailed babbler will spend a month digging holes and laying eggs.

In addition to leaving so many eggs, the unqualified parents of the short tailed babbler also left a lot of old birds and birds that can't keep up with the population.

For nature, this is normal. Birds eliminate unqualified people in this way to promote the evolution of the population.

In the morning, all the birds left, but in the evening, many birds and old birds flew back.

Looking at these birds, Winnie said painfully, "they will all die. As long as the cold current comes, they will freeze to death. Even if they can carry the cold current, there is no food to supply them on the sea in winter, so they will starve to death. "
