He saw a beautiful purple bird perched on the branch!
Its body was very smooth and streamlined. Below the neck, it was tall and full. The feathers on its wings were also dotted with white spots.
If one did not look at its long purple tail feathers, when it slightly puffed up its feathers, it really looked like a bunch of grapes that had just been washed and were dotted with water droplets!
[F * ck, this bird is so beautiful!】
[I've never seen a purple bird before!】
[Brother Lu, Brother Lu, is this grape bird also an endangered bird?】
"What grape bird? He has his own name and is very domineering.”
"
It's called the Purple Whistling Thrush, but it's not an endangered bird. It can be found in many places in our country."”
【？That doesn't make sense, Brother Lu. Since there are so many places, why haven't we seen them before?】
"That's because it doesn't live in cities like magpies and sparrows. They only live in mountainous forests, along the banks of streams, or at the entrance of caves.
Therefore, if one did not frequent the mountains and forests, it was rare to see this kind of bird.”
"
But isn't it cute?" Lu Chen smiled.”
The Purple Whistling Thrush was a very sensitive bird. In order not to alarm them, Lu Chen deliberately hid a distance away and used the drone to hide and shoot.
The parent bird stretched its neck and spat out the ground worm meat from its mouth, feeding it to the nestling.
After feeding the third chick, the parent bird hesitated for a moment before feeding the fourth chick.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
That nestling was the one he had just sent back.
A moment later, the other parent Purple Whistling Thrush flew back.
The two little purple grape bunches stood by the nest and looked at it for a long time. From time to time, they would whisper as if they were discussing something.
[Brother Lu, did the two of them find out that you were the one who put the little chick back?】
"I'm afraid it's the other way around."
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said,
"But it's fine. When I released the little chick back, I was very careful not to touch the rest of the chicks. Therefore, even if they want to abandon the chick, they should at most just throw that chick out again."
If it really doesn't work... I'll take care of it."
Lu Chen gritted his teeth.”
They had already prepared for the worst, but the next moment, the two Purple Howling Thrushes suddenly flew up and landed on the empty space under the tree. They jumped back and forth as if they were looking for something.
……？
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that these two Purple Howling Thrushes knew that their baby had fallen out, but as birds, they couldn't pick up the baby that had fallen out?
After looking around the ground, the two parent Purple Howling Thrushes flew back to the branches beside the nest.
It was actually feeding the chick that was sent over!
"So clever, ah!"
Lu Chen could not help but praise in a low voice,
"I'll first see if my child is on the ground before deciding whether to raise this nestling that has somehow returned. I didn't expect these two Purple Howling Thrushes to be quite smart."”
By feeding the nestling, it proved that the two of them had already accepted the nestling again and would not throw it out to be abandoned. They could rest assured.
Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to recall the drone and continue exploring, he saw the two beautiful little grapes fly straight to Lu Chen's hiding place after feeding the chicks.
Lu Chen cursed in his heart. Just as he was about to escape, two small grapes had already taken the lead and stood on the branch of the tree in front of him. They tilted their heads and started chirping.
Although the Purple Whistling Thrush's name had the word "whistle" in it, it did not mean that its voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as the roar of a tiger and the cry of an ape.
On the contrary, its cry was extremely crisp and melodious, and it sounded quite comfortable.
Afraid that the little snake would scare them, Lu Chen quietly put the two of them into his pocket before reaching out to the two Purple Howling Thrushes on the branch.
After hesitating for a while, the two little fellows finally flapped their wings and landed lightly in Lu Chen's hands.
As mentioned before, the purple whistling thrush was a very sensitive bird. Although it was widely distributed, very few people could catch it in the deep mountains and forests, and there were not many photographs left behind.
It was his first time observing the Purple Whistling Thrush at such a close distance.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the outer layer of their bright purple feathers was covered with a thin layer of slightly reflective feather powder.
When the light shone on them, they would see a layer of light that looked like powder. It was especially beautiful.
The most special thing about them was their small claws.
Lu Chen had not noticed it before, but now that he was closer, he saw that their little claws were also deep purple.
The entire bird looked as if it had been dyed in grape juice. It was very pleasing.
The two little flash python sisters, who were in Lu Chen's pocket, were also very curious. They wanted to poke their heads out to take a look, but just as they poked out half of their heads, they were discovered by the Purple Whistling Thrush. It pecked at them fearlessly.
The beaks of insect-eating birds were usually very hard and sharp. Lu Chen was shocked and quickly reached out to block, but he was still unable to match the speed of the birds.
Fortunately, it was a small white flashing python that poked its head out. It was very cunning.
The moment it noticed the Purple Whistling Thrush pecking at it, it quickly retracted its head.
No matter what he did, he was the first to bully the weak and fear the strong.
After scaring the little Flash Python back, the two Purple Howling Thrushes jumped on Lu Chen's arm and chatted for a long time.
However, Lu Chen only had the Affinity of All Things, but he did not have the ability to understand the birds 'language. He could only nod his head and try to brush them off so that they could send them away.
After calling for a while, the two purple whistling thrushes finally ended their "speech."
One flew back to the nest to take care of the nestling, while the other flew in a different direction from the dense forest.
……？
Realizing this, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Logically speaking, when feeding the nestling, the parent bird should be constantly catching insects to feed the nestling.
However, it did not fly to the forest with many insects. Instead, it flew to the other side of the barren land.
This was very problematic.
The purple whistling thrush was very smart, there was no doubt about it.
Otherwise, it would not have checked if the nestling on the ground was still there before deciding whether to accept the new nestling that suddenly appeared in the nest. It could also keenly sense Lu Chen's location.
Such a smart bird. Lu Chen would not believe it if he said that it was useless to fly to the open ground.
Then, after eliminating the other wrong choices, there was only one answer left.
That seemingly empty rocky clearing had more bugs than the forest!
Lu Chen's lips curled into a smile.
There was only one possibility for more insects, and that was that there was an entrance to the underground karst cave near the rock field!
Only damp and dark caves could breed large groups of insects.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen released another drone, ready to wait for the Purple Howling Thrush to come back to change shifts and follow it to see if it was as he had guessed.
Not long after, the Purple Whistling Thrush that had flown away earlier flew back and began to feed its chicks.
The Purple Whistling Thrush from its nest flew out, its target still the bare rocky ground.
Lu Chen hurriedly controlled the drone to follow.
A moment later, a small hole that could only accommodate four to five people appeared behind a very concealed rock wall.
He really found it!
Little grape skewers, yyds!
