“Old Li, this is Minister Wang from our airport! Minister Wang, this is the eagle training expert I found from Yingtun, Old Li Li Wenzhe!!”

Wang Yuanchang glanced at Lao Li and nodded as a greeting: “Everyone is here, let’s go in!”

The leader spoke, and everyone passed through the guarded gate and came to the inside of the airport runway.

“You all brought eagles with you, so we don’t need to beat around the bush. Today we will conduct a preliminary assessment within the airport. Which of you two eagles will go first?” Wang Yuanchang asked, looking straight at him.

Yue Feng did not raise his hand in a hurry, but looked at Lao Li next to him.

Old Li felt numb at the moment and felt a little unwell.

Facing the leader’s gaze, Lao Li said in a trembling voice: “Well, leader, I have something to report!
The notification to me was a bit sudden. The eagle in my hand has been fed this morning!! It cannot be released at the moment!”

Uncle Wang nodded and said, “Then you come, Xiaofeng! I heard from Xiaojun that the little eagle flew very well yesterday. Now that everyone is here, let’s go and have a look together!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, then I will show you how ugly I am!”

After saying hello, Yue Feng handed the little eagle to Xiao Tao, then he took the lure and walked towards the middle area of ​​the airport runway, quickly opening up a distance of at least thirty or forty meters.

After walking to the preset position and standing still, Yue Feng shouted, and Xiao Tao immediately took off his eagle hat.

A whistle sounded, and the little pigeon tiger, which was in excellent condition, immediately spread its wings and took off, flying straight towards Yue Feng.

The little guy had already gone through the training of hiding the bait and lifting the plate yesterday, so it was not unfamiliar at all today.

After the eagle took off and flew towards Yue Feng, it saw that its owner did not show the bait and did not make any unnecessary movements. After flying over Yue Feng’s head, it quickly moved away, and while flying, it also used the air currents to gain altitude.

As soon as the little eagle spread its wings and made its debut, the reactions of the birds around the airport runway during yesterday’s training were almost replicated again today.

There was a loud clattering noise, and all the creatures, from sparrows to doves and pigeons, ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

A group of people focused their attention on the eagle, watching the little eagle fly towards Yue Feng, flying farther and farther, higher and higher, and several people were a little curious.

“This eagle won’t run away, right?” Lao Qian asked Jun Ge next to him in a low voice.

Ye Jianjun was quite confident in Yue Feng. He flew farther yesterday and didn’t lose the eagle.

“Don’t worry, you can’t run away. The whistle will be blown soon!”

While they were talking, Yue Feng whistled loudly. Upon hearing the command from his master, the little pigeon tiger immediately changed direction and came back.

Seeing this scene, Li Wenzhe, who was holding the light bean yellow and feeling uneasy, looked at his son, and there was a look of surprise in each other’s eyes.

In the eyes of Old Li and his son Li Xiaolei, the brothers Yue Feng and Xiao Tao are just two young men who are in contact with birds of prey for the first time and don’t know much but have good family education. They are still far from being able to train eagles and drive away birds.

But just now, when Yue Feng whistled, the little eagle turned around and returned. This at least showed that the little eagle that he looked down upon was at least forty or fifty meters away.

I’ve only been here for a few days, and I haven’t seen any operations related to hanging up the line or sliding around on weekdays. Yesterday I took them out to chase rabbits like an eagle, but I didn’t expect that the eagle in their hands has already become quite skilled.

“Wow! The eagle came back with a whistle? Lao Li, what’s going on?”

When Qian Zhaoqiang saw this scene, he turned around and asked Li Wenzhe.

Li Wenzhe pretended to be calm and said, “In our falconry jargon, this is called ‘yuan! ‘ It’s also called ‘liu zi! ‘”

When the eagle is well fed, if you blow a whistle while holding the food, it will fly over to eat the meat! When the eagle is full, it will not listen to people’s calls!

This big eagle in my hand, with its dark yellow color, can fly forty or fifty meters without any problem if it has not been fed!
Just wait and see, the eagle will come back and land on your hand to eat your meat!!”

As he was speaking, he saw the pigeon-tiger quickly flying towards Yue Feng, but Yue Feng neither turned sideways and spread his arms to let the eagle land, nor did he show the so-called eagle food.

The little eagle flew over Yue Feng’s head and flew forward again.

Back and forth, the eagle circled above Yue Feng’s head with the top of his head as the center, just like it did yesterday.

At this point, Li Wenzhe and his son Li Xiaolei were a little dumbfounded.

Falcons are good at dive attacks and are also accustomed to long-term low-intensity cruise flight using air currents.

However, birds of prey like the goshawk prefer to stay in hidden woods most of the time, except during the migration season when they will fly for a long time with the help of air currents.

In simple terms, falcons cruise and search over large areas, using their height advantage to dive and attack their prey.

Birds of prey such as eagles, which are forest-dwelling birds of prey, prefer to stay in the woods most of the time. When they encounter a suitable hunting opportunity, they use their advantage of short-range and super-strong burst of power to launch a surprise attack and hunt prey.

Their natural wild habits determine their two completely different performances.

The Li family father and son thought that the little pigeon tiger would land to eat after hearing the whistle, but they didn’t expect that the eagle would not land, but circled back and forth over Yuefeng’s head. Although it has not caught any bird prey, the functional effect of the airport’s bird-repelling device has been initially reflected.

“What’s going on? Didn’t you say that an eagle would fly over and eat the meat?”

Qian Zhaoqiang also noticed something and continued to ask with a frown.

“This… this Blue Swallow is not very useful for hunting. It can’t catch anything even after flying for a long time!!”

Old Li also touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge. He had some limited experience in training eagles to chase rabbits and catch pheasants.

But when it comes to circling falcons, he is already over fifty years old, and in all his life he has never seen anyone who can play with a hawk like this.

At this moment, it doesn’t matter whether it catches something or not. The eagle is cruising in the sky, and all the birds, big and small, around the airport scatter and disappear without a trace. This kind of immediate effect can be seen, and the leaders present are not blind.

The senior executives of this era are all talented and knowledgeable people. It is not possible for a fool to occupy a high position in a technical position.

“This little eagle is flying very well in the sky, Xiaojun. How long can it fly once it takes off?” Uncle Wang did not respond to the person in front of him. Instead, he turned his head and asked Ye Jianjun in a low voice.

Ye Jianjun replied: “It took us about half an hour from taking off with the bait to landing yesterday at noon. Xiaofeng said that once the eagle is trained, it can stay in the air for an hour or even longer!”

“Yes, this idea of ​​flying in circles to drive away birds is quite effective!!!”

Uncle Wang mentioned two good things in one sentence.

Wang Yuanchang is a person who is a little reluctant to accept new things, but after seeing the results himself, he also highly recognized the plan of using peregrine falcons to fly around and drive away birds.

“Minister Wang, actually using a hawk to drive away birds is also quite effective. Otherwise, why don’t we wait until the hawk is hungry and give it another chance to try?”

Qian Zhaoqiang gritted his teeth and continued to fight for opportunities for his relatives to show up.

Wang Yuanchang glanced at the eagle on Li Wenzhe’s arm and asked, “Comrade, if you let the eagle in your hand fly, how long can it fly?”

“Well, if there are prey targets such as pheasants or pigeons, we can chase them for several miles at a time!” Lao Li answered incoherently.

“What about time? The prey the hawk catches is actually not important. Our airport’s primary concern is the safety of aircraft. The purpose of bird-chasing is to drive away birds, not to train hawks to catch them!”

“The pursuit will probably take a few minutes! The eagle can catch all the birds that move around. If you let it go for a while, the birds won’t come back!”

Old Li’s brain circuits finally reconnected and he said the only useful sentence.

“Oh? You mean, this big eagle hunts around the airport, and after a while, the birds are afraid to come?”

“Yes! Birds also have their own territories. Other birds dare not show off in the eagle’s territory!
If the eagle is well trained, it can catch at least four or five pheasants a day. Other water birds, doves, pigeons, etc. are no problem at all!”

After listening to Lao Li’s explanation, Wang Yuanchang nodded and didn’t say anything else.

The little pigeon-tiger continued to fly in circles on the field. Yue Feng’s attention was mostly focused in the air. Once the eagle’s flight radius showed signs of deviating, he would blow the whistle to guide it.

After about twenty-five minutes, the little eagle began to gradually descend in altitude. Yue Feng knew that it was almost exhausted, so he took out the lure and blew a whistle. The little guy immediately swooped down, grabbed the lure with a crisp sound, and landed on the ground to eat it with relish.

Soon, the piece of meat tied to the bait was eaten. Yue Feng took the hat and put it on the eagle, then walked over with confidence.

“The first stage of the Peregrine Falcon small plate has been demonstrated. Please give instructions, leader!!” Yue Feng said politely.

“Okay, not bad! This flying bird-repelling effect has already reached the initial stage of practical use!

I heard from Xiaojun that there are a few more eagles that you captured at your place?”

“Yes, I went out and caught four peregrine falcons, two males and two females!
In terms of training progress, one female is a little behind Little Pigeon Tiger, and the other two are not ready to fly in circles yet!”

Wang Yuanchang: “You continue with the follow-up training, the peregrine falcon flying and the eagle hunting.

If you need anything, just tell the contact person and we at the airport will satisfy you if we can!
Today’s drill ends here! Let’s disband here. Xiao Li, go back and summarize a drill record for me!”

“Yes!!”

……

The team of ten people disbanded on the spot at the airport. Several groups of people had different positions and left the runway area in twos and threes, returning to their own places first.

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao were thinking about Jun Ge’s plan to invite the leaders to dinner, so they walked slowly. They returned to their residence slowly, but Jun Ge didn’t come over right away.

“Brother, why do I feel this is a bit weird? From what the leader said, we should continue to train with Lao Li! The gap is so obvious, but he still doesn’t stop. What is he thinking?”

Xiao Tao scratched his head, a little confused. (End of this chapter)
