Chapter 245: Red-Faced Peony

Guo Dongyue has been hiding his anxiety under a calm appearance, because he doesn't know if he can find the pair of peony parrots in his memory here. He visited some pet stores before, and also went to the Fanxing pet supermarket chain in Xicheng District, and visited the largest pet trading center in Binhai City - the dog market. However, pet stores and pet supermarkets basically did not sell parrots, while in the dog market Although there were many parrots, there were none like the one he remembered.

Not only that, he also looked for it on the e-commerce website, but there are only common parrots on the e-commerce website, and there are almost no rare parrots.

When he saw the pair of parrots on the branch, he was finally relieved, and his anxiety disappeared instantly.

When Zhang Zian heard that he had found his target, he felt relieved. He no longer paid attention to the black-collared peony, but looked up at the pair of parrots that Guo Dongyue was pointing at. It just so happened that one of them turned around as if feeling shy from being watched by everyone, allowing Zhang Zian to get a glimpse of the front and back.

Their chests and abdomens are yellow-green, the backs are darker, roughly emerald green, and there is a blue sky above the tail feathers. The most obvious difference is their faces and necks, one is bright red, the other is bright red. It is only yellow-orange, and the claws are a beautiful silver-gray. The two of them leaned close together, the one with the bright red head and neck stuck its beak into the neck of its companion to comb its feathers, the one with the yellow-orange color was not idle, and used its beak to clean the stained beak of its companion. Food scraps look extremely loving.

Depend on! Zhang Zian's first reaction was not to know what kind of parrot it was, but that even parrots started to abuse dogs these days...

Wei Kang looked up, oh, and said, "No wonder you came here to look for it. Although this kind of parrot is not as rare as the black-collared parrot, there are very few people raising it."

"This kind of parrot is also very picky?" Zhang Zian asked subconsciously.

"That's not true, because they can only be kept in pairs, otherwise it is very difficult to raise." Wei Kang said, "The name of this kind of parrot is the red-faced peony. If the peony parrot is a love bird, then the red-faced peony is one of the love birds. Lovebirds." He pointed to one of them and said, "The one with the red face is the male, and the one with the yellow-orange face is the female. This kind of bird is extremely strict about the choice of mates, basically it can only rely on natural courtship, and it is difficult to do it manually. Intervene."

Guo Dongyue didn't care about these, he asked eagerly: "How much is this pair of birds? I want to buy."

Wei Kang hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.

Guo Dongyue's heart sank suddenly, thinking that it was very expensive, or it might not be for sale.

"Money is not a problem—Mr. Lu has already said that if you want it, I can give it to you directly." Wei Kang said in a deep voice, "I don't know why you named this parrot, but I remind you, the red-faced peony hard to feed,

So there are very few people raising them. Besides..."

Guo Dongyue doesn't think there's any problem with this, it's nothing more than parrots, as long as you make sure they eat and drink well, "What else?"

"Look, they are so close, they are like glue, they are indistinguishable from each other, and there is no place in between." Wei Kang motioned him to observe carefully.

"So?" Guo Dongyue didn't understand what Wei Kang meant.

"They don't develop a deep bond with their owners like other parrots, you know? They only give each other their affection, and the owner is only third. No matter how long you keep them, they will only be with each other. Play together." Wei Kang explained.

Guo Dongyue thought about it, and felt that it had no effect. He just wanted the pair of red-faced parrots to accompany his mother for a while, as long as he could, as long as his mother was happy during this time. As for the future...he didn't want to Think more.

Zhang Zian raised a small question, "I remember you said that your mother called her two parrots 'Little Purple' and 'Pea Yellow', and the female parrot looked like Pea Yellow, but the male parrot, Why can't it be connected with 'Zi'?" He asked this question because he was worried that Guo Dongyue had bought the wrong one.

Guo Dongyue replied very simply: "Because my mother has color weakness, she sees the blue area behind them as purple."

"Oh." Zhang Zian was a little embarrassed, feeling that he was too worried.

Wei Kang walked to the nearest empty birdcage, unscrewed the cap of his bottle of mineral water, took a few sips to moisten his throat, then poured the rest into the water basin in the birdcage, turned around and left Get some distance.

Not long after he left, two red-faced parrots flew off the branch almost at the same time, flapped their wings and flew into the cage one after the other, drinking the water in the water basin.

Wei Kang walked over unhurriedly, closed the cage door, took off the cage and handed it to Guo Dongyue.

"Here you are, take it away. I'll give you the cage too."

Guo Dongyue took over the cage happily and excitedly, and stared at the two red-faced parrots as if they were babies.

"Attention, this kind of parrot is difficult to feed." Wei Kang reminded again.

While Guo Dongyue was excited, he didn't pay much attention to Wei Kang's warnings, he just wanted to take them back quickly, as if he was afraid that Wei Kang and Lu Mingyi would suddenly go back on their word.

"Is it because they are not suitable for cages?" Zhang Zian was in the calm and objective position of a third party, and did not ignore Wei Kang's reminder.

"It's hard to say." Wei Kang shook his head, "But it should be somewhat related. No animal has evolved to live in a cage, especially for birds with two wings. In short, the survival rate of red-faced parrots raised by individuals Very low, even in such a superior open environment as the Fengming Aviary, with a dedicated bird doctor, the survival rate of the red-faced parrot is less than half. If it is replaced by someone else, I do not recommend raising it...but There must be a reason for you to name this parrot, so I won’t say more.”

Wei Kang said something seriously, Zhang Zian believed that he was not scaremongering, it seemed that red-faced parrots were really difficult to raise, and he couldn't help feeling confused, because these two parrots must be stored in his pet shop, Let Richard try to teach them to speak. If they die after raising them, it would be a shame to Jiangdong's elders.

"There is one more point." Wei Kang added, "When the partner of this kind of parrot dies, the other will be immersed in pain all day long, and probably won't live for a few days. Usually, once they die, they will die as a pair."

Zhang Zian was in awe. The red-faced parrot's steadfastness in love made even human beings who claimed to be the spirit of all things pale in comparison. It really deserved to be a lovebird among lovebirds.

Seeing that Guo Dongyue was in a hurry to leave, Wei Kang didn't want to keep him anymore, and told them a few things about the red-faced parrot's diet. Zhang Zian remembered everything in his heart, even an expert like Wei Kang was so cautious, it seemed that this red-faced parrot was really difficult to keep.

After explaining everything that should be explained, Wei Kang personally sent them out.
