Chapter 1418: Bird Ann

Zhang Zian returned to the pet shop in Wuling Shenguang. On the way, he did not turn on the air conditioner but opened the windows. One is to save fuel, and the other is that the car transports pets all day long, including aquarium pets. It is inevitable that there will be some smells. Close them in summer. The windows are rather smelly.

To his surprise, Grandma Gu was standing at the door holding a small cattail fan, as if waiting for him.

"Grandma Gu!" He got out of the car, opened the store door, and invited Grandma Gu to enter, "Why don't you go in? There is air conditioning inside."

In order to attract customers, the glass door of the pet shop inevitably hangs the sign "air conditioner is open". The air conditioner in the aquarium next door is turned on even harder. The outdoor unit runs 24 hours a day. A shocking figure.

"Hey, grandma, I don't feel hot, so I can fan it just fine. I'm getting older, and I can't stand the air-conditioned room, so I'm prone to air-conditioning disease." Grandma Gu explained.

Grandma Gu didn't enter the store, but Richard took the opportunity to fly out from the crack of the door and land on Zhang Zian's shoulder.

"Where is it? Grandma Gu, you are obviously getting younger and younger!" He complimented: "82 this year, 28 next year!"

"Grandma, I'm not yet 82 this year! Do you look so old?" Grandma Gu touched the wrinkles on her face depressedly.

"I didn't mean that..." Zhang Zian hurriedly changed the subject, "Then what... do you have something to do?"

"It's like this... The battle against the pest plague has temporarily come to an end with the victory of the people, but... a group of birds rescued from sister cities in other places are used for biological control to eat caterpillars, and it seems that they have suffered a lot." Grandma Gu took out a document, put on reading glasses and read the scriptures, "We must keep in mind the selfless assistance of the sister cities. It is not easy for these birds to breed, and considering the possibility of insect infestation in other nearby cities and the resurgence of insect infestation in Binhai City possibility, so the superior instructed us to try our best to protect the living and breeding environment of these birds and prevent them from being harmed.”

Zhang Zian listened carefully, but for a moment he didn't think it had anything to do with him.

During the worst period of pest infestation, due to the strong resistance of certain species of caterpillars, ordinary insecticides cannot be effective, so other methods can only be used, such as new insecticides or biological control, and birds are used to deal with it. The caterpillar's approach is one of them.

Grandma Gu took off her reading glasses and glanced at Vladimir next to her. "Someone said that many birds were killed and eaten by cats."

"Uh... you mean... stray cats?" Zhang Zian asked.

If it is a stray cat, Vladimir must strictly restrain the stray cats under his command. Never underestimate the determination of the Binhai City Government, which has become frightened, to control the hidden dangers of pests. Once it is determined that stray cats are eating birds, they may think Ways to manage stray cats.

Stray cats are killers of small animals in cities. They hunt and kill all mammals, rodents, reptiles, and especially birds indiscriminately, so they are regarded as ecological disasters in many places.

Objectively speaking, part of the reason for the pest infestation in Binhai City can also be attributed to the fact that there are too few wild birds in the city, and it is impossible to suppress caterpillars in the early stages of the outbreak, but this situation exists in most cities of.

Grandma Gu nodded first, then shook her head, "Stray cats are indeed a problem, but there is no good solution for now. What we can do now is to find a way to stop domestic cats from eating birds."

Telling domestic cats not to eat birds is a false proposition in many people's eyes. Isn't domestic cats kept at home, how can they eat birds?

But in fact, only young people in the city tend to hide their purebred cat Jinwu at home, while middle-aged and elderly people, as well as cat owners living in the suburbs and villages, are more inclined to disperse Breeding means letting your own mixed-breed cats find food outside by themselves during the day, and then go home by themselves at night.

Except for a few purebred cats that are not suitable for living outdoors, it is not difficult for most cats to hunt or forage outdoors, and they hardly come back hungry.

Not only in China, there are more than 80 million pet cats in the United States, more than half of which are free-range. Coupled with a considerable number of stray cats, this poses a serious threat to the survival of small animals in cities.

"what do you mean……"

As soon as Grandma Gu mentioned this, Zhang Zian had a rough guess, but it's better to ask clearly.

"Xiao Anzi, grandma, I know you know all kinds of pets like cats and dogs very well. Is there anything you can do? This is a task assigned by the superior, and those very precious birds were eaten by cats. It's a pity." Grandma Gu said.

Zhang Zian thought for a while, "There is a solution, but I'm afraid it will be troublesome to solve it. You have to go door to door to notify it, and you can imagine that you will encounter resistance."

Grandma Gu raised her head, "If there is a way, I'll let Grandma handle the rest!"

"Actually, this kind of thing is also a headache for foreign bird lovers, but then someone invented a collar for free-range cats to wear around the neck, called birdbesafe, which literally translates to bird safety. I have to say that foreigners named it The level is really unbearable to look at..."

"Quack! Birds are better." Richard muttered, and patted Zhang Zian's head with his wings, "You need it too."

"This Niao'an collar, does it work?" Grandma Gu asked curiously, "If it really works, Grandma, I will go door-to-door to inform the promotion!"

"It should be useful. This kind of collar will not affect the cat's eating. It is different from the Elizabeth collar, but because the color is extremely bright and eye-catching, it can make birds see and avoid it from a long distance." Zhang Zian stared at him warningly. Chad glanced.

In fact, the beneficiaries of this collar are not only birds, but any small animal that is visually sensitive to color can benefit from it.

"Okay! Well, Xiao Anzi, please sort out the information of this circle and the purchase price and send it to the street office as soon as possible. Grandma, I will deal with it immediately." Grandma Gu made a decision immediately.

This kind of collar is not sold in China, even Taobao, which is omnipotent, does not have it, but it seems to have no technical content, and it should not be difficult to imitate it according to the picture.

Grandma Gu left in a hurry to organize people to try it out in the whole street. Once it is effective, she will try to promote it in the whole city.

"Quack! As the only bird and intelligence representative in the pet store, I appreciate the collar of Bird Bian very much. Don't you idiot plan to promote it in the scope of the pet store?" Richard said seriously, " To save my uncle's life from being threatened at all times."

"The thing that threatens your life is your own bird's beak. As long as you know when to shut up, no cat is interested in your life, and the meat will smell like bird droppings!"
