Weekend, Liu Xueqing's house!
Liu Xueqing and Yingying moved a chair outside the balcony and sat through the glass door to observe the situation inside.
I didn't go to the zoo this weekend. I stayed at home and watched the turtledoves.
The little turtledove has been born for half a month.
During this time, the turtledove's parents flew around every day looking for food and came back to feed them.
When I was born, I didn't open my eyes. Now he can stand up, jump out of the flowerpot, stretch his wings, comb his feathers, kick his legs and jump, and carry out activities on the flower rack on the balcony. Liu Xueqing is surprised by the growth rate.
The last two days seem a little different!
After feeding, father turtledove didn't stand on the railing of the balcony as usual.
Instead, she flapped her wings and flew from Liu Xueqing's balcony to an air conditioner diagonally opposite.
It's about 4 or 5 meters away!
Looking over here, he opened his mouth and shouted twice, as if to let the little turtledove learn to fly over.
The two little turtledoves have combed their wings all the time in the past two days, as if they were preparing for flight.
A little turtle dove looked at his father on the air conditioner, stood up slightly, walked around, raised his feet and jumped twice, as if he were doing preparatory activities.
Move out from the flowerpot bit by bit, jump on the shelf of the balcony, spread your wings slightly, take a look outside, take it back, turn around and jump back into the flowerpot.
He shrunk into a ball and looked a little uneasy. He looked at the mother turtledove standing next to the flowerpot!
A timid one looked at the opposite air conditioner and was so frightened that he shrank directly under the turtledove's mother's stomach and buried his head deeply. It seems that only by sticking to his mother's warm fluff can he feel a sense of security.
Mother turtledove looked at it and did nothing else.
To stay here so quietly is to appease and encourage the little turtledove.
Liu Xueqing is also very nervous. Her palms are sweating. Her home is on the 7th floor!
Looking at this posture, the little turtledove has begun to learn to fly. If he doesn't fly up and fall down at such a high place, he won't directly fall to death.
The little turtle dove shrank for a while and came out from under the mother turtle dove's belly.
Father turtledove flew back from the opposite side! His mouth opened and cried twice.
It seems to say that flying is actually very simple. Look how I fly past and back!
Mother turtledove also stood up, jumped onto the railing, spread her wings and clapped twice. Looking at the little turtledove, she seemed to be demonstrating and guiding them to fly.
Learning to fly is the first step in your life! You can fly now. You should overcome your fear. You can't grow up if you don't learn to fly.
Two big turtledoves took turns and jumped up and down between the balcony railing and the flowerpot.
Yingying looked at this scene and understood something. She asked, "Ma Ma, is the little turtledove going to fly?"
Liu Xueqing said, "well, it should be!"
"Oh!"
Yingying saw it with relish. She didn't worry about the little turtledove at all.
Isn't flying a natural thing for birds.
The turtledove's father flew over to the air conditioner opposite and demonstrated it several times!
Three big turtledoves flew over and landed on the flower rack on the balcony. Looking at the little turtledoves, it seemed that their uncles and aunts came to visit.
It's said that the child is going to learn to fly. Come and have a look. You don't bring any gifts. You're welcome.
Yingying waited for a long time, so she took out her toys and played on the ground.
Liu Xueqing also went back to the house and took a look at her at dinner.
At night, the little turtledove stayed in his nest and didn't fly over. But tonight, when the turtledove's parents are away, they leave them alone in the flowerpot. Usually, at least one big turtledove is guarding the side.
Seems to want to cultivate children's independence.
The next morning.
Liu Xueqing thought about the little turtledove in her heart. She got up at 7 o'clock and saw that they were still in the flowerpot.
At this time, the turtle dove father spread his wings on the railing again to show the little guys how to fly.
After breakfast, heyingying continues to move a stool to observe.
After the inner struggle of repeated test flights yesterday, the little turtle dove stayed in the nest all night without the company of his parents. It seems that he has grown up a lot. Today, he boldly stood directly on the railing.
The turtle dove's father called twice and turned to look at the little turtle dove. Good. Come with me!
When flapping its wings and flying to the air conditioner diagonally opposite, a small turtledove took the lead in spreading its wings and jumping from the balcony!
Liu Xueqing immediately opened her eyes, subconsciously stood up and followed the little turtledove with her eyes!
The little turtle dove flapped its wings and flew over after his father!
The other one, who was a little timid, saw that his brothers had flown. For fear of being left behind, he also summoned up the courage to fly over.
All landed smoothly on the air conditioner opposite.
"Ma Ma, the little turtledove can fly!"
Yingying happily jumped down from the chair, opened the glass door and ran to the railing.
"Wow ~"
Liu Xueqing also breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and followed her to the balcony.
Looking at the turtledove family opposite, his face showed a heartfelt smile!
I don't know why, I'm very moved.
Suddenly I remembered that when the little turtledove took off just now, he was so absorbed that he forgot to take a picture.
Hurriedly took two photos of them and sent them to the circle of friends: "ha ha, my little turtledove can fly! Great!"
The turtle dove's father was not satisfied with this and flew to the windowsill of a family in front of him.
He shouted twice, as if calling the little turtledove to follow.
But two little guys, after flying once, all their courage has been used up.
They leaned together on the air conditioner and shrunk into two groups. They refused to follow the past.
Liu Xueqing's balcony allows them to jump and jump. The area of the air conditioner outside the wall is small, just like the protruding rock on a steep cliff. It's very afraid to stay here.
The turtle dove's father flew back and lowered his head, as if to encourage and praise the two little guys.
After a while, he flew back, opened his mouth, fed the little turtledove food, continued to fly around and guide them to fly.
A little turtle dove seemed to be moved, but he stood up, took a bubble of shit and fell down again.
This evening, the two little turtledoves stayed on the air conditioner opposite without their parents. They looked pathetic.
The next morning, Liu Xueqing habitually came to the balcony.
Looking at the air conditioner opposite, I found that the little turtledove was no longer on it, leaving only a few traces of bird shit.
"Did you fall down, or did you fly away with your parents?"
Liu Xueqing turned her mind.
Just thinking about it, I saw two little guys in my flowerpot, huddled together and looked at her.
It was flying back again.
Compared with the narrow air conditioner, I feel safer where I grew up.
Maybe I'll stay here for a while and fly away when I'm proficient in flying skills.
