"Oh?" Fang ye took it seriously, "what's the situation? Did you peck your feathers? It can't be stereotyped. "
He Yifei said: "Jingwen was extroverted and liked to interact with tourists, but tourists don't love to say hello to him in recent days. Sometimes they turn their back and get bored. It doesn't work if I play music to comfort him. I pecked Xiaozhi when I lost my temper last time."
Fang Ye felt his chin and was a little embarrassed. It's hard to guess the animal's mind. Who knows why he was suddenly unhappy.
Think of a lot of reasons, is the feed problem? be homesick? Poor cage environment? It's too hot? Which tourist annoyed it when visiting?
Guessed: "when you fed them recently, did you feed them the same? No favoritism? "
"I don't think so? I also pay more attention to this. " He Yifei thought hard and recalled for a moment. He was not sure: "when I sent walnuts the day before yesterday, it seemed that I gave Xiaowen a smaller one. Was it angry because of this? Would you like to send him more food today? "
"Well, what's the feed today?"
"Today is Wotou, beef, corn, strawberries, rape and peanuts."
Macaw's staple food is all kinds of nuts, berries and vegetables, but it also eats insects and snails!
So there should be some protein in the feed. In addition to beef, sometimes cooked eggs are mixed in the Wotou.
Fang ye thought for a moment and said, "when the meal is ready, you can slip one more strawberry into it while the others don't pay attention. Coax it a little. Don't let the others see it. If you see it, send another one. Observe the situation more and I'll go and have a look in the afternoon. "
He Yifei wrote it down and said, "OK!"
Fang Ye looked at another keeper with long hair like an artist and asked, "brother Lu, how are the macaques these days?"
Brother Lu, named LV Jiamu, is an older employee in the zoo. He has been responsible for taking care of macaques for seven years. The keepers of other animals may take turns to take care of them. He is the only one who has been in charge of macaques, because macaques are very smart and recognize people.
Recognizing people is not intimacy, but not bullying. They are taken care of by new employees. They are a little timid and unfamiliar. Macaques with keen perception will immediately find this emotion, and then they refuse to be managed with their moustaches.
Grab the food when feeding. Don't go back when it's time to go back to the house. If you want to catch it, you can't catch it. You have to turn back and make fun of it.
LV Ge took care of the macaques for a long time, was familiar with their habits, and established his dignity in the macaques. Generally, when he was present, the macaques behaved better, and the two yells would separate when fighting.
Instead of other keepers, oh, the monkey barks louder than the keeper's yelling, and even attacks when he is angry.
Macaque attacks people are not fun. Although they are small, they are very flexible and agile. They jump up and shine on unprotected hands or legs. When they scratch their claws, they are several hot blood marks, and when they bite, they are a bleeding tooth mark.
If people are prepared to take a stick or something, they will throw stones from a distance. Therefore, the slightly larger stones in the monkey mountain were cleared away, leaving only some small stones no larger than the nail cap.
Last time, white eyebrow and black claw macaques fought each other in front of tourists. Recently, Fang Ye has been paying attention to this matter.
It is normal for animals to express aggressive behavior. A certain level of aggressive behavior is the performance of healthy animal community behavior.
Take the highly hierarchical and well-organized macaques. When other low-ranking monkeys pass by the monkey king, they must show obedience, or they will be severely punished. This is the way to establish group order.
When the little monkey sees this situation, he will also know to abide by order and respect the monkey king.
However, excessive aggressive behavior may turn into a kind of harm. For example, the monkey king is irritable and beats everyone, even his wife and children. The interaction behavior of the whole community will deteriorate. The monkeys are in danger and are not in the mood to groom each other and have fun.
Keepers taking care of animals under such conditions are also vulnerable to attack and may leave a negative experience for visitors.
If a child of another family comes to visit and sees a monkey lift the other one, twist his head, pull it down with a hard click and spray blood out, he must not cry on the spot.
My heart will leave a shadow that can't be erased all my life. Don't say to play in the zoo in the future. I will be afraid to hear the word "zoo".
Therefore, excessive aggressive behavior needs the intervention of breeders.
Brother Lu said calmly: "black claw, a rising star, is still a little worse than white eyebrow. After the last fight, I'm not sure that I won't provoke again."
Fang Ye nodded with satisfaction: "well, that's good! We can change their environment in a while. "
The best way to reduce attacks is Fengrong!
For example, provide shelter and provide more toys.
When the monkey mountain perch was just erected, the monkeys had fun every day. They spent all their energy on it and were not interested in fighting at all.
It's good to have something to play with. If you don't deal with it at ordinary times, it may be pleasing to the eyes of the other party, and the population relationship is a lot more harmonious at the moment.
But after a period of time, the habitat is not as attractive as it was at first.
Moreover, July to November is the estrous season of monkeys, mainly in autumn. There is plenty of food. If you have enough food, you can enjoy it. During this period, monkeys are strong and strong. In order to compete for spouses and resources, there will be more friction. It is usually this time for monkey king to compete for hegemony.
Of course, captive monkeys don't worry about food, so they are debauchery all year round, but in autumn, their bodies will instinctively become more restless.
An ambitious monkey like black claw, who coveted the throne of Monkey King, began to make friction and wanted to fight with white eyebrow.
Fang ye asked Guan Shan again, "is there any problem with the little panda recently?"
Guan Shan was a little depressed and said, "headmaster, yesterday the crow flew over and robbed an apple, grabbed the tail of red beans a few times, grabbed two tufts of hair and was driven away by me, but I can't rush like this every day. How to solve it."
Fang Ye frowned and said, "shit, take an inch!"
Even if you steal apples, you peck the tail of the panda. Don't you know that the panda is the treasure of our garden.
This needs to be dealt with.
Pondered for a moment and said, "next time the crow appears again, you call me and I'll catch up."
Guan Shan is confused:???
Isn't it the same when I drive you? There's no difference.
There is a difference!
Fang Ye plans to frighten the crow with deterrence skills, leave a deep impression on it, and see if it dares to bully Xiaoneng again.
