After the three brothers had their breakfast, they strolled back to the guesthouse.

Four armchairs were placed side by side by the windows in the room, and on the back of each chair was a peregrine falcon wearing a hat.

Hearing the door opening, the four falcons looked up at the same time, but because their hats blocked their eyes, they could not see. After a brief moment of hesitation, they regained their composure.

The scale that Jun brought was an old-fashioned platform scale with a tray on top, a horizontal bar underneath, and weights of different weights.

This thing is rarely seen in ordinary people. It is basically only used in places like supply and marketing cooperatives or mountain product purchasing points. Using it to weigh an eagle is a bit of a waste of equipment.

“How about it, does this scale work?” Brother Jun asked with a smile.

Yue Feng nodded: “This thing can open a ten-jin object, it’s a waste of talent to use it to make an eagle!”

Ye Jianjun: “It’s good enough! Call it whatever you want, I’ll just follow and learn!”

“It’s simple. Put on the gloves to hold the eagle, throw the eagle and the gloves together on the tray, weigh them, and then calculate the tare weight!!”

While speaking, Yue Feng put on the mid-length gloves used for falcon training, then directly untied the five-foot gloves and held the first peregrine falcon in his hands.

The eagle tossed around in his hand for a few times before it stabilized. Yue Feng then took off the gloves and placed them directly on the tray.

After deducting the weight of the gloves, the weight of the first pigeon falcon with two openings and the eagle hat was one pound and one ounce and five cents.

This was the first peregrine falcon caught on Dawang Mountain. When the net was cast, Yue Feng estimated its weight to be more than 1.3 jin and close to 1.4 jin. It had not eaten during this period and had probably lost about 2 jin in weight.

Yue Feng took out an ordinary weighing pad and recorded the net weight and date. Then he used the same method to weigh the other three peregrine falcons.

The weight fluctuations of the first few peregrine falcons were very normal. They were put in the net for three, four or five days. Compared with their weight when they were put in the net, it was normal for them to lose about 10% of their weight.

But when it came to weighing the last pigeon with the best temperament, Yue Feng frowned when he looked at the weight data.

One pound, three ounces and three ounces.

“Eh~~~~something’s strange!” Yue Feng let out a light exclamation and checked the weight on the dial again.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” Brother Jun rarely saw Yue Feng in this state, so he looked at him curiously.

The weight was verified and there was no error in the calculation, but the weight of this duck falcon was still obviously abnormal.

“It’s been four days since this pigeon falcon was put in the net. Amazingly, it hasn’t lost any weight at all! Not only has it not lost weight, I even suspect that it is slightly heavier than when it was first caught in the net!” Yue Feng said as he examined the pigeon falcon in his hand.

“You must be kidding! I didn’t eat or drink anything. I only came back to get some water and ate three pieces of meat. Most of it was excreted through drinking water. How come I didn’t lose weight? Is it because your estimate of the weight when the eagle dropped the net is wrong?”

Jun Ge doesn’t understand eagles, but he understands the basic principles of how animals’ body functions. Any living animal will lose weight if it goes hungry for three days.

Yue Feng put on his gloves again and weighed the pigeon in his hand again. There was nothing wrong with the feel. There was almost no noticeable difference compared to when he first weighed it by guessing it in his hands after putting it in the net.

In fact, for a falconer of Yue Feng’s level, if he were to handle a peregrine falcon himself, the weighing step could even be ignored.

Yue Feng knew exactly how much an eagle weighed when it was caught in the net, and how much it would weigh after being kept for a few days. He made this weight record form so that he could give it to his fellow soldiers for reference in the future.

But now, this little pigeon tiger not only has a good personality, but also has a strong body. After being hungry for several days and only given a little meat and water, it didn’t lose much weight.

“Hehehe, we’ve picked up a treasure! This eagle’s body is quite strong!!” Yue Feng put down the eagle and a happy smile appeared on his face.

“What do you mean? We are just weighing the eagle, why are we talking about the softness or hardness of the body? Is the scale broken? If not, I will find a new one.” Brother Jun didn’t understand what Yue Feng meant and was quite anxious.

“No need! My family has encountered this kind of eagle before! Good thing!” Yue Feng waved his hands repeatedly.

“What do you mean? Why aren’t you losing weight?” Brother Jun continued to ask.

“The fact that eagles don’t lose weight shows that their digestive and metabolic systems are more efficient and consume less energy, which is a reflection of their higher overall quality.

Didn’t this little guy eat a few slices of beef when he started his secret diet last night? The weight he lost during the past few days of starvation has been regained by eating meat and drinking water!”

“This… is too different! How much was the portion of beef last night!”

After hearing Yue Feng’s explanation, Brother Jun was a little bit unconvinced.

After all, you don’t eat much, and a few small slices of beef can’t make up for the body’s metabolic deficit unless they are fully digested and absorbed without any waste.

Yue Feng grinned, pulled the armchair on which the falcon was standing near him, and pointed to the spot under the chair where the eagle’s poop had landed.

“Look, the other three eagles all had stripes. Logically, since the little pigeon tiger ate meat yesterday, it should have had more stripes, and it should have digested and metabolized waste such as uric acid!
But other eagles have two or three water stripes, but there is only one stripe under its chair!” If you don’t look closely, you won’t notice this detail. After Yue Feng reminded you, it is really the case.

Among the four eagles, only it ate a few slices of beef properly, while the other eagles only drank water. However, it ate the least, which was a clear difference from the other eagles.

“Is this kind of eagle a top-quality one?”

“That’s understandable! But for an eagle with this kind of physique, the fattening training is a bit difficult and hard to grasp. It’s a challenge!!” Yue Feng nodded and said meaningfully.

“Yes! You can keep fat by eating a little bit of meat. It is more difficult to lose weight by starving yourself!” Brother Jun nodded.

“It’s okay, one way to tie each monkey! As long as it has a good temper and can complete the training subjects, a higher weight will actually perform better in actual combat!

Anyway, we’ve already weighed him, so let’s feed him today’s food! Xiao Tao, I’ll hold Ziying for you, and you can make the food.

Add all the soft hair I brought to it. It’s enough for two rolls of meat rolls. If you add more, it will be hard for it to eat it!!”

“Oh!” Xiao Tao responded and immediately got busy.

Slice the beef, then roll the bird feathers moistened with water into the thin slices of meat, making a meat roll about the thickness of your little finger.

“Such a thick meat roll? Can it eat it? Last night I saw it tear the food into pieces before swallowing it?” Brother Jun was a little confused when he saw the details of the cooking.

Yue Feng nodded: “This is just the beginning, let alone a meat roll as thick as a little finger. If you are really hungry, you can swallow a meat roll as thick as a thumb!
This is called the lower shaft, I use a hair shaft!! You just watch, I think this little guy is smart enough, he will learn it once he has the chance! “

Yue Feng picked up a piece of ordinary meat and whistled. The little falcon standing on his hand immediately reacted very quickly and lowered its head to look for food.

Seeing this scene, Yue Feng was in a good mood. Eagles are smart and easier to train, which is a good thing.

A piece of meat was handed to its feet. The little eagle immediately grabbed it in the dark with its mouth, then used its claws to tear and swallow it.

After finishing this piece of meat, Yue Feng took the Toba meat roll that Xiao Tao had made for the second time.

The whistle was blown again and the meat roll was brought closer. The little eagle found it by touch and tried to step on it and tear it apart.

Yue Feng tightly grasped the eagle’s two legs with his right hand, preventing it from lifting its legs. At the same time, he held the meat roll with his left hand and pulled it back, pretending that he didn’t want the eagle to eat the meat easily.

Although the little guy couldn’t see, he felt the force of his meat being snatched away, and he bit one end of the meat roll tightly and refused to let go.

After about two seconds of stalemate, Yue Feng slowly slowed down his strength, and the little guy won the tug-of-war.

At this time, its claws still could not be lifted up, but it was hungry, had food, and was afraid of being snatched away by others, so it did not bother to tear the meat slices at the first moment, and directly tilted its head back to swallow the meat roll into its throat.

The meat roll was as thick as my little finger, so it was not difficult to swallow. I quickly swallowed the whole thing after tilting my head back and trying a few times.

The next one was the second one, and the same method was used. After swallowing two meat rolls wrapped with a lot of bird feathers, today’s cap feeding was completed.

“Hehe, this little thing is really smart! It’s not hard to train it! Look, it ate it whole!”

After eating three pieces of meat, the little pigeon tiger immediately shook its neck to press the food into the bottom crop, and it was in very good condition.

“What are the uses of those feathers that you rolled in the meat and fed it to the eagle just now? I’ve seen you feed eagles before, but why haven’t I seen these feathers before?” Brother Jun asked curiously.

“This is one of the core techniques of falconry training, and it is rarely shown to outsiders!

In addition to food, this little hair shaft plays a very important role!
When eagles in the wild eat, they will also swallow indigestible bones, skins, hairs and other things. After digestion is complete, these wastes will be spit out, which is called spitting out!

This spindle-out behavior is an important part of maintaining the health of the digestive system of birds of prey. It can not only promote the metabolism of digestive juices, but also increase the peristalsis of the stomach, intestines, crop, etc.!

If you want to make an eagle obedient, food is the most important medium, and this feather shaft simulates the state of eating in the wild.

The spitted-out hair shaft will bring out a lot of digestive juices and chamber oil, which will keep its digestive and metabolic functions at a higher level, making it easier to get hungry and more controllable! “

“Hearing what you said, this wool shaft is indeed very important, but the eagle is wearing a hat. If we want to take out the shaft, will it get stuck with the hat on?” Brother Jun has learned from his experience and has begun to think about the risks involved.

“Yes! If you feed the eagle with feathers, you have to take off your hat to make it fly before dawn tomorrow!
This little thing has a good temper, is bold, and has a high digestion and metabolism rate. I originally wanted to take a few days off and not have to start hawking so early.

Now you see, you can’t be lazy! Let it eat and sit there quietly without moving, the fat won’t come down!!”

While speaking, Yue Feng held one of the hat straps in his mouth and loosened the other strap with his other hand. Then he pinched the hat tassel and took off the little pigeon falcon’s hat directly.

When the eagle took off the hat, the performance of the little pigeon tiger once again made several people sigh that a good eagle is really different. (End of this chapter)
