Chapter 66: Don’t recognize the cat when you go down to the field? Give Tiebeihong a lesson
The time it takes for the eagle to react to the command is extremely short, and its flying posture is in a straight line. The eagle flies close to the ground and its flight is very straight.

From Yue Feng’s perspective as an expert in falconry training, this eagle is almost ready. It can slide 30 meters high with just a raise of the hand, which is basically enough for it to become a falcon.

Yue Feng repeated his old trick and fed all the meat rolls and bird feathers in the bowl to the eagle, and then he continued to raise the eagle for another day and night.

The next morning, Yue Feng took the eagle for a stroll on the village road. The eagle was in full condition at this moment.

After returning home and having breakfast, Yue Feng called Xiao Tao, and the two brothers, one holding the hawk and the other carrying a thin bend wood stick, strolled out of the village and came to the field that had been harvested.

“Brother, what am I responsible for today?” Xiao Tao asked casually.

“What you do was called driving a stick in the past! You hold a stick and hit the rabbits as you walk. When the rabbits are driven out, you shout ‘cat! ‘ I will release the hawk immediately after hearing it!” Yue Feng explained very patiently.

“Okay, let’s go! Where to go first?” Xiao Tao continued to ask.

“You don’t have to go too far, just go forward, there should be rabbits around the small vegetable garden of Ergouzi’s house!” Yue Feng casually pointed in a direction and said.

“How do you know? I’ve never been there!”

Yue Feng grinned and said, “Don’t think that jumping cats are all in the mountains, in fact, there are quite a few wild rabbits around the village in this season!
The land near the vegetable garden is relatively flat, there is not much debris around, there is a road next to it, and there is food to eat. If you were a rabbit, would you stay there?”

With this change of thinking, Xiao Tao instantly understood what Yue Feng meant.

“Then let’s go!”

“Walk beside me, don’t go beyond my height, or you might block the eagle’s view if you get up. As you walk, knock on the grass by the roadside! You might be able to chase the jumping cat away before you even reach the vegetable garden!”

“Then let me try!”

Xiao Tao walked a few steps to the side, putting two body lengths between him and Yue Feng, and then he started walking while hitting the haystack very hard, as if he was driving a stick.

Yue Feng really came true. Less than 300 meters ahead, a wild rabbit suddenly jumped out from the ditch on the side of the road.

“Cat!!” Xiao Tao shouted, pointing in the direction of the rabbit.

Upon seeing this, Yue Feng immediately held up the big red eagle in his hand and prepared to release it.

But the rabbit stood up from less than five meters in front of it, and the big red eagle was completely indifferent.

In this situation, we definitely cannot release the hawk, Yue Feng pouted in annoyance.

“What’s going on? Is the eagle in a bad state? Why doesn’t it react to the rabbit?”

After flying kites for a period of time, Xiao Tao had a preliminary understanding of some of the habits of eagles. When he saw that the big eagle on Yue Feng’s arm did not respond, he quickly realized that something was wrong with the eagle’s condition.

Yue Feng nodded helplessly: “Let’s go back, the eagle won’t be able to survive today!”

“What’s going on? Is the eagle sick, or is it not cooked enough?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “It’s not that the eagle is sick, it’s that this big eagle has never eaten a rabbit in the wild, so it doesn’t recognize it!”

“With such a big body, you have never eaten rabbits in the wild? That’s impossible.” Xiao Tao was skeptical about Yue Feng’s statement.

The goshawk’s diet in the wild includes hares as an option. When this large iron-backed red eagle was first brought home, both Brother Feng and Uncle Yue gave high praise to its appearance.

Could it be a silver spear with a wax head, which looks good but is useless? Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “It is not uncommon for the young eagles who left the nest that year to have never eaten rabbits in the wild!
There are two possibilities. The first is that this eagle has poor hunting ability. It tried in the wild, but failed to catch the rabbit after a long effort, so it could not eat the rabbit.

After a long time, the eagle thought that the rabbit was not its food and would not recognize it when it saw it again.

The second is that an eagle has an innate high success rate in hunting, and can easily fill its stomach by catching small and medium-sized pheasants, birds and other prey. In this case, there is no need for the eagle to take greater hunting risks to compete with rabbits!

An eagle is a flying bird, and its flying speed far exceeds the running speed of a rabbit, so when it chases a rabbit in the wild, there is no problem of wanting to chase but not being able to.

Judging from the appearance and physical fitness of the eagle in my hand, it has never eaten rabbits, so it is definitely not that it cannot catch up with the rabbit. By the process of elimination, I can conclude that it should be the second possibility! “

“What should I do? I can’t just use it to catch pheasants after training it with great difficulty. If I had known this would happen, I would have trained the little chicken hawk tied in the barn!” Xiao Tao scratched his head, feeling a little at a loss.

Yue Feng explained: “Don’t panic. If it doesn’t recognize the rabbit, we can just find a way to teach it! Let’s go back to the village. I’ll think of a way. Let’s give Tiebeihong a lesson!”

“Can I give Eagle extra lessons?” Xiao Tao’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, it’s not difficult! Let’s go back first!”

The two brothers went to the fields excitedly and returned home early.

As soon as he entered the yard, Yue Lei was playing with the small autumn flower pine nut rack that Yue Feng had tied for him.

This little guy has become Yue Lei’s pet now. When he is holding the big eagle, he doesn’t have time to play with it. When he has a little free time, Yue Lei will hold it in his hand. At this moment, the little eagle has become very close to people, and its body is covered with fur like a little ball of fur.

“Is Yingcheng on the field? Why did he come back so early?” Yue Lei asked curiously.

Yue Feng shook his head: “Don’t mention it, this big iron-backed redfish has never caught a rabbit before the net was cast! Xiao Tao and I left the village and caught a rabbit on the other side of the ridge at the end of the field, but this guy didn’t react at all when he saw the rabbit!

Dad, where are the rabbit skins that our family has saved up over the years? I’ll make a notebook and let the eagle identify them!”

“It’s on the cabinet in the northwest corner of the barn! This eagle doesn’t even recognize rabbits. It won’t have any trouble finding food in the wild!”

“Yeah! I think so too. These three short eagles have strong explosive power and must have a fast start-up speed!”

“Take the notebook and roll it a few times!”

“it is good!”

……

After a brief exchange of words, Yue Feng came to the warehouse and then directed Xiao Tao to find a pile of rabbit skins from the old cabinet.

These rabbit skins were caught by Yue Lei and Li Wen when they went up the mountain to trap rabbits. Rabbit skins can’t be sold at a good price these days, so they were dried and stored at home. There are at least twenty or thirty skins in the pile in the warehouse.

Yue Feng briefly rummaged through the skins and picked out the largest rabbit skin. Then he took the skin and grabbed half a basket of grass from the haystack and asked his mother Meng Yulan to help him sew a book for the eagle.

The so-called book is a fake prey used to simulate actual combat. The rabbit skin is sewn together and some soft grass is filled in the middle. Then, when feeding the eagle, it is fed on this book.
