Li Wenzhe replied, “There’s a lot of dew in the morning. If we leave too early, the eagle’s feathers will get wet. Why don’t we leave at seven or eight o’clock? It will take about a morning. If we’re lucky, we won’t be late for lunch when we get back!”

Xiao Tao did not agree this time, but looked up at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, then I’ll listen to you! When the time comes, ask Xiao Lei to come and call us!”

“Okay, that’s settled then!! My eagle has been conditioned and is in very good condition now. It will definitely become an eagle tomorrow!”

“Okay, let’s follow and see your rich bean yellow!” Yue Feng nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the main goal was achieved, Li Wenzhe said, “You guys go ahead and do your work. I’m going back. I’m worried about the little guy flying the eagle. See you tomorrow!”

“Don’t you want to play for a while? Take care!”

“gone!”

……

After watching Li Wenzhe leave, Brother Jun, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Yue Feng and Xiao Tao with a strange expression.

“When did you get in touch with him? His last name is Li, and he was hired by Lao Qian!”

Yue Feng scratched Little Pigeon Tiger’s chin with his finger and said calmly: “What’s the connection? It doesn’t matter. We just bumped into each other a few times outside and chatted with each other. We’re not even acquaintances!”

Xiao Tao also added: “This guy might be pretending, stuffing an eggplant into his crotch, not hanging a big one!!
He doesn’t know the Purple Eagle, but he says our Purple Eagle is rotten and has broken feathers! His ordinary light bean yellow, he insists on saying it is strong bean yellow! My brother won’t let me argue with him, otherwise, with his behavior, he would have been beaten long ago!”

“I’m not familiar with you, so why did I come to find you? I can’t even knock on the door before entering the house?” Brother Jun was speechless after hearing the answers from Xiao Tao and Yue Feng.

Xiao Tao curled his lips and said, “He’s old, so he’s just showing off! My brother doesn’t let me confront him, but he really thinks he’s a big shot. He can’t tell the difference between a few players. Tomorrow, let’s hold up the Purple Eagle and tell him what to say to broaden his horizons!!”

Yue Feng did not agree with Xiao Tao’s words, but looked at Jun Ge and said: “Isn’t it because you don’t know his background? Last time you said that he has someone behind him. Xiao Tao and I came to your unit. We can’t cause trouble for you! Just be a little polite to him!”

After hearing these words, Ye Jianjun had a preliminary understanding of the situation.

He nodded at Yue Feng: “It’s really the right thing for you not to cause trouble! This guy is quite difficult to deal with!”

“Difficult? How do you mean?”

“When I first proposed the Air Force bird-scaring project, the leaders above me were very supportive, but Uncle Wang and Lao Qian were not on the same page.

Although Lao Qian is a deputy, he is in charge of the original bird-scaring team and other work. Procedurally speaking, the work of scaring away raptors is also under his charge.

After my project was initially approved, he immediately found Lao Li from Yingtun.

If you had fought with Lao Li before and he knew your details, who knows, there might be some trouble during the inspection of the raptor bird-scare work!”

Hearing this, Yue Feng nodded slightly and understood what Jun Ge meant.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. Brother Jun has a strong backing, but some things have to be done according to the rules. It is not easy to strike the right balance here, after all, one has to appear harmonious on the surface.

It can only be said that Yue Feng’s idea of ​​being cautious and not offending anyone after arriving here is correct.

“Then…when we go to drive the rods tomorrow, should we still bring the purple eagle with us? We’ll be exposed if we start working in the fields!” Xiao Tao also understood, and he felt a little lost as he looked at his eagle.

Yue Feng waved his hand: “What are you bringing? Forget about it! If the other party wants to show off, let him do it! Let’s go with them to chase the birds, just to get to know the wild bird resources and environment around the airport in advance!”

“Okay!” Xiao Tao responded reluctantly. It was obvious that considering the overall situation made him a little unhappy.

Jun also comforted him: “Xiao Tao doesn’t have to worry too long, as long as our little pigeon tiger can get big, we can show our cards!
Old Li thought we were just doing a small trick and was definitely not impressed by our falconry training skills.

We will make a big splash when the inspection is completed. Even if Old Qian comes up with something weird, at least we will be on the same starting line as Old Li and the others, and we won’t suffer any loss!”

“Well, are you still going to the bait-spinning game today?” Xiao Tao continued to ask.

“Go! I’ll take you to the big square where there are fewer people!!”

Yue Feng: “Okay, I’ll do whatever Jun arranges!”

……

The brothers discussed for a while in the room. After they finished drinking the water and rested their legs and feet, Xiao Tao tied the purple eagle to the reclining chair. Then Yue Feng took the training bait gloves and other eagle equipment, and took Xiao Gehu straight to the big square that Jun Ge mentioned.

The big square is relative to the small square. The small square is next to the playground and closer to the living area, so there are more people walking around on weekdays.

The big square is located in the administrative district. Except for a small number of military officers and civilian administrative personnel, few ordinary people go there.

The three brothers carried the pigeon and falcon and strolled to the small square. Yue Feng then handed the falcon to Xiao Tao to hold temporarily, and took the bait tied with a one and a half meter rope and walked to a position about 20 to 30 meters away near the center of the square. Whoosh!

Two short and bright whistles sounded in succession. The little pigeon tiger standing on Xiao Tao’s arm, without even taking off his hat, began to nod frequently, eager to try.

“Take off your hats!!!” Yue Feng shouted and blew the whistle again.

As soon as Xiao Tao took off the little eagle’s hat, the pupils of the little pigeon tiger’s big eyes began to change immediately to adapt to the outdoor lighting environment.

After a few seconds, its feathers were fluffy and it shook its body off. Its tail was slightly lifted to pull out a small piece of poop. Then the little eagle kicked its legs and flew towards Yue Feng.

The falcon has been recognizing the lure for several days and knows that the bright bait is a signal for feeding, so it is very eager.

When the eagle flew close to him, Yue Feng let go of the lure and let it fall from his hand. Then he swung his arm and the leather lure that was tied with pheasant wing feathers immediately drew an arc and flew out beside him.

When the little pigeon tiger saw the lure flying out, he failed to catch it and had to continue flying forward, trying to turn around in the air and continue attacking.

Yue Feng was not in a hurry to continue whistling, and most of his attention was focused on the little pigeon tiger.

This little foodie had a very strong desire for food. He flew less than 20 meters before changing direction in the air and continued to dive in pursuit.

Yue Feng swung the lure again and repeated the previous action, allowing the peregrine falcon to keep chasing but unable to catch it.

Back and forth, diving and turning, the maximum radius of the bait-spinning flight is less than thirty meters, and the height is only about ten meters.

Compared with the big black hawk at home that can fly at an altitude of one or two hundred meters, the performance of this peregrine falcon in swinging bait is very average. However, there is a difference between large falcons and small and medium-sized falcons. The size difference is more than half, so Yue Feng doesn’t worry about it.

He has a trick!

After swinging the bait around for about a dozen or twenty times, Yue Feng loosened his fingers and separated the double-strand bait rope into a single strand. The range of the bait flying in the air immediately doubled.

As the flying radius of the lure increases, the flying pursuit radius of the little pigeon tiger will naturally be affected. Although it is not multiplied, it is more than ten meters farther than before.

Yue Feng swung the lure for a while and felt that it was about time. He consciously slowed down the speed of the lure and exposed a flaw.

The little pigeon tiger seized the opportunity and dived down to accelerate. With a crisp sound, the tiger paw pad behind its claws accurately kicked the back of the lure, and several pheasant feathers fell from mid-air.

The little pigeon tiger, who had succeeded in the attack, changed direction in the air and headed straight for the landing point of the lure. Without waiting for the lure to hit the ground, he grabbed it and dropped it to the ground.

There was meat tied to the back of the lure. The little guy stepped on the meat with his claws and lowered his head to eat frantically.

Although the series of actions seem complicated to describe, in fact, only less than ten minutes passed.

From the perspective of falcon training techniques, swinging bait evolved from calling out from a fixed point, and later evolved into small and large plates. When the falcon has the awareness to follow its owner and wait in the air, the falcon can be considered to have graduated.

For this little pigeon tiger, which is currently performing very well, this process will not take long. Yue Feng is confident that after two or three more training sessions with bait, the pigeon tiger can get used to the chasing game and the training progress will be quickly advanced.

Yue Feng stood there, whistling and letting the pigeon tiger finish eating the meat on the lure. Then he picked up the meat roll with ingredients that he had prepared in advance for feeding the eagle and blew the whistle again, letting the little guy jump from the lure to his hand.

The amount of meat on the lure was far from the daily ration that Yue Feng gave to Ying, not even one-third of it.

After eating the piece of meat, the little guy was still not satisfied. When he heard his owner whistle and called him, he immediately let go of his claws and jumped onto Yue Feng’s gloves.

He touched its fur and claws, then grabbed the two ropes tied to the eagle’s legs and placed the meat roll in front of the eagle.

When the young eagle saw the meat, it pecked at it and immediately caught the meat roll in its mouth.

He couldn’t lift his paws, but still wanted to eat meat, so he could only swallow the meat roll as thick as his little finger raw as Yue Feng requested.

The remaining food was fed to the eaglet personally in the form of meat rolls wrapped in bird feathers. When the little fellow was full, his crop swelled up and his feathers became fluffy. He lowered his head to peck at the blood on his nails to clean up his food, and soon he stood on his hand with his eyes wide open and relaxed.

Jun, who was standing still, saw Yue Feng boldly swinging the bait to call the eagle, and then guiding the little eagle to take off the plate, chase the fake bait, expand the flight radius, and finally land to eat, completing a whole set of actions. He waited until the eagle was full and its feathers loosened up before he approached Yue Feng.

“Yes, this little eagle really followed the bait and swung it!”

Yue Feng grinned: “Hey, how’s it going? Is your performance okay?”

“Great! This little eagle is in your hands now. It’s so relaxed! But I have a question. Now that it’s swung up with the fake bait, how do you make it transition from a small plate to the big plate you mentioned before?”

Yue Feng didn’t keep the secret and pointed at the bait on the ground: “This is easy, wait until the little eagle gets used to the bait swinging game, then just hide the bait!

If it can’t find the bait, it will naturally increase its flight distance and altitude. When the altitude and radius reach the expected level, we blow the whistle to light the bait, and then gradually increase the time it stays in the air, and the eagle will be ready!” (End of this chapter)
