I Have a Safari Park

The square was demolished and the statue of the boy was empty. Now, several large trees with lush branches and leaves have been planted here. There is a circle of flower beds under the trees. As soon as you step into this place, you can smell the fragrance of flowers.

Against the backdrop of the emerald green lawn, the flowers are even more gorgeous, making the tourists feel relaxed and happy. If you get tired, you can sit on a bench by the flower bed and relax in the cool shade of a tree.

Going down the square, there is a large green lawn on the outside of the road, separated by a simple and natural wooden fence, and many tourists stop here.

"Yingying, you see it's a peacock!"

Liu Xueqing placed her hand under Yingying's armpit and gently lifted Yingying into her arms, so that her daughter's head was the same height as hers, and her vision would be wider. Yingying's father took out the camera from his backpack and became a loyal photographer behind him.

Yingying cast her eyes on the lawn in front of her curiously. A few peacocks were far away. Under the trees and among the bushes, the one not far away was brisk and vigorous, and seemed to be walking down vigorously. Its tail is parallel to the ground, and its head nods with the footsteps, occasionally lowering its head, as if looking for traces of insects.

There is also one standing on the wooden fence for half a meter, almost a distance that can be touched by hand, and let the tourists appreciate its beauty generously. The blue fluff on the neck is like smooth and supple satin, with a hint of cyan in the blue, and a piece of grass green is exposed on the back of the neck, and the rest is covered by the wings closed on both sides. Swing back.

With his head held high, he proudly looked left and right at the tourists. The crown of feathers on his head was like a flower arrangement, and he kept shaking as his head turned.

Liu Xueqing looked at the peacock, a little fascinated. She also went to the zoo with her mother when she was very young, but she completely forgot what she saw. When I saw these peacocks today, I was attracted by the confidence and beauty of the peacocks, felt the long-lost natural atmosphere in the city, and evoked memories. Did my mother hold her like this when I was a child, so that she could see better What about animals?

It's a pity that the old mother and the old father stayed at home today, such a beautiful zoo, they should have been coquettish and brought them along.

In this way, I can listen to the old mother talk about what I saw at that time, and whether there was any interesting incident.

"Mama, what is this called?" Yingying asked suddenly.

"It's a peacock." Liu Xueqing took the opportunity to popularize science for her daughter, "This one with a tail as long as a skirt is a male peacock, and the one without a skirt is a female peacock. In animals, male is male and female is female."

Yingying's concept of male and female is rather vague, but men and women still know it.

He wondered, "Why isn't it even a girl wearing a skirt?"

It seems to be for courtship, right? Liu Xueqing was also not quite sure.

There just happened to be a vertical sign next to it, so she took two steps closer and read the text on it clearly.

This brand mainly introduces the living habits and reproduction methods of peacocks. Among them, it is mentioned that peacocks open their screens for courtship and may fight for females.

Liu Xueqing explained softly: "Because it wants to chase girls, and to chase girls, you have to dress up a little more so that people can see it."

At this time, the peacock cocked its tail proudly and unfolded its tail fan. You can see that the long tail feathers are decorated with beautiful blue eyes, and then the peacock shuddered quickly, as if a gust of wind had blown.

"Wow!"

"so beautiful!"

The tourists exclaimed, and Yingying's eyes straightened: "Mama, what's wrong with the peacock?"

"This is the peacock opening screen..."

Some tourists took pictures with their mobile phones and shouted excitedly: "Hey, turn around! Look here!"

When the peacock heard the sound, it really turned around! Holding the tail fan proudly, she took two steps like a model walking the runway, showing off her beauty.

"Wow, this peacock is so fun!"

"interesting."

"Yoyo, come to Xiaozhi and feed it some bread!"

A parent stuffed a piece of bread into the child's hand and encouraged the child to hand it over. The child was happy to hold the bread and hand it over through the gap in the fence.

"Ah this..."

Liu Xueqing frowned slightly, and the sign on the side clearly said "If you love me, don't feed me", it's not good to do so.

Children don't know right or wrong, adults should give proper guidance. Otherwise, the child will form the wrong concept.

Just when she was hesitating whether to speak up to discourage her, a loudspeaker suddenly sounded behind her, which startled the tourists: "The zoo prohibits feeding, this parent in a gray shirt and black pants, yes, you don't need to look at it. You, please let your child take the bread back, thank you for your cooperation..."

It turned out that a camera and a speaker were installed on the street lamp on one side, and the sound came from there.

The parents in the gray shirts were surrounded by the strange gazes of many tourists, their face flushed, and they were so embarrassed that they wanted to hide themselves in the cracks in the ground. Quickly pull the child out of the crowd.

The child asked strangely: "Dad, what's the matter, what happened? I haven't fed the peacock bread yet."

The gray-clothed parent said annoyed: "Hey, hello, don't you hear it? Let's go and see something else."

"Then I won't feed it, I'll just look at them."

The gray-clothed parents felt that the gazes around them were getting hotter, as if they were laughing at themselves. They slapped the child on the forehead and lowered their voices: "Why are there so many nonsense, hurry up."

"Wow, no, I want to see the peacock..."

The child burst into tears, and reluctantly looked back at the beautiful peacock, being dragged away.

A few had the idea of ​​feeding, but those who didn't feed were secretly glad that the parents in gray clothes made the first move and became a negative teaching material, otherwise the one who would be embarrassed would be themselves.

At this time, He Yifei, who was wearing work clothes, also came from the other side, came to the crowd, and explained patiently for everyone: "I'm sorry, but please don't feed the animals. The recipes for the animals are carefully arranged by our breeders according to their conditions. , a lot of the food that humans eat is not suitable for animals, and it is very likely that they will get sick if they are fed randomly. I think what everyone wants to see is a beautiful animal that is full of vitality, not an animal that is sick and suffering. Bar?

Our zoo also considers everyone's desire to be close to animals, and specially arranges a small pasture where you can get close contact with alpacas and feed them for group photos. A breeder will give you feed. In addition, all places in the zoo are prohibited from feeding Hello, and they are all installed with cameras, thank you for your cooperation..."

"Clap clap clap..."

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, the tourists applauded enthusiastically, and Liu Xueqing couldn't help clapping along. Although Yingying didn't understand why she was applauding, she followed everyone's example and clapped her little hands happily.
