Chapter 229 Psittacosis
There was nothing wrong with each other, and Zhang Zian was very patient when he heard it. He asked, "I wonder what I can help?"
Guo Dongyue calmed down his thoughts and slowly spoke: "When I was in elementary school, I had two parrots at home."
Zhang Zi'an turned his head and looked at Richard, feeling worried that if Guo Dongyue proposed to borrow Richard for use, how could he refuse?
"It's not a gray parrot." Guo Dongyue seemed to have noticed his thoughts, "It's a peony parrot, a pair."
"Oh." Zhang Zian felt relieved, but at the same time felt guilty about the fact that he would feel relieved. If Richard was an ordinary gray parrot, he would not mind lending it to Guo Dongyue, but it wouldn't work...
Peony parrots, also known as love birds, are known for their deep affection and loyalty among birds. When they find a partner, they are best kept in pairs, otherwise they will be depressed.
It is not uncommon for people to raise birds in the city, and parrots are also very popular among birds. Zhang Zian knew that Guo Dongyue had some more words and asked: "Are that pair of parrots dead? Or did they run away?"
Guo Dongyue shook his head, "I didn't die or run away, but I gave it to someone."
Many people keep pets on impulse. When they keep them, they find that they don’t like pets or are not suitable for pets at home, so they give them away. This situation is not worthy of advocacy, but it is indeed very common.
"That pair of peony parrots was also given to my mother by others. My mother likes them very much and often teaches them to speak. But..." He gently touched his throat, "But something wrong with my respiratory system..."
Zhang Zian was stunned for a few seconds and could not connect these two things.
Just then, a figure outside the door swayed, and someone walked into the store with light steps.
"Is it psittaosis or pbl?" said a very familiar voice.
Zhang Zian subconsciously looked over and walked in. Sun Xiaomeng was still wearing a white coat, with a pocket on both hands, and a mask hung on one ear. Her face looked slightly tired. It seemed that she was walking through the clinic.
The calmness on Guo Dongyue's face turned into surprise. He looked at Zhang Zi'an and waited for his introduction.
"You wait for me, what the hell is psittaosis? What is pbl? Don't play puzzles, can you say something that ordinary people can understand?" Zhang Zian did not rush to introduce, but chose to satisfy his curiosity first.
"You're still selling pets. You don't even know this kind of common sense?" Sun Xiaomeng didn't hesitate to take a quadruple-legged steel pipe chair that Guo Dongyue had just sat down, took off his mask and stuffed it into his pocket of the white coat, and said to himself: "I'm so tired."
"What common sense?" Zhang Zian wanted to break his head and didn't remember what common sense psittaosis or pbl had been learned before.
Guo Dongyue looked at Sun Xiaomeng for a moment, silent, and seemed to have no intention of explaining.
When Zhang Zian saw that Sun Xiaomeng was about to keep it a secret, he decided to do a good job of food and clothing. He took out his mobile phone and searched for the three letters "pbl" and wanted to find out what the abbreviation was, but unfortunately the search was fruitless. The things found were wrong at first glance.
Sun Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Don't check it, pbl is a medical term, and it is difficult to find it from ordinary search engines. It means 'the pigeon feeder'."
Guo Dongyue nodded without a trace.
"What's the fourth and fifth brothers?" Zhang Zian was confused when he heard it, and he couldn't even understand what words it was.
"It's not the fourth brother, it's pigeon-breeder's_lung, and there's also a bird-breeder's_lung," Sun Xiaomeng explained. "It's literally translated into Chinese as 'the lungs of pigeons', which is a respiratory allergic reaction caused by raising birds."
She is not a good teacher, but when she talks about her professional field, she immediately starts talking.
Seeing that no one interrupted, she continued: "psittaosis is 'parastika fever', an epidemic pneumonia. Cases often appear in the homes of bird farmers. Adults are more resistant to it, and children during the growth and development period are much more likely to be infected. Although they are named after 'paras', domestic pigeons and parrots may actually cause this pneumonia..."
As Sun Xiaomeng was talking, she heard a hoarse cry from "Ga" and was shocked.
Richard couldn't bear it when he heard this, "Gaga! Is it true or false?"
Sun Xiaomeng had just had two consecutive surgeries and was exhausted both physically and mentally, so she went out to relax and passed by Zhang Zi'an's pet shop and came in to take a look. She heard Guo Dongyue's last few words at the door, and she was itchy at the moment, so she went in uninvited. After entering, she recalled the knowledge in her mind while telling it, but she didn't notice that there was another parrot in the pet shop, and she spoke with a straight voice, but her tone was a bit frivolous.
She looked at Richard who was jumping around the cashier table in surprise and asked Zhang Zi'an: "Is this your parrot?"
"...Is that true?" Zhang Zian said cautiously, "Don't pay attention to it first. This parrot talks a lot of nonsense. I'll tell you after you finish speaking."
"Uh..." Having said that, Sun Xiaomeng still couldn't take her eyes off Richard, after all, what was said just now was really the same as someone said.
Guo Dongyue had already seen the magic of Richard, but just raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
"Where am I talking about?" Sun Xiaomeng's thinking was interrupted and she couldn't get it for a moment.
Zhang Zian reminded helplessly: "Pigeons and parrots may cause pneumonia."
"Oh, yes, then is it psittaosis or pbl?" Sun Xiaomeng's target of inquiry was Guo Dongyue, in the tone of a doctor.
Guo Dongyue nodded, and spoke for the first time since Sun Xiaomeng came in: "It's psittaosis."
"Speak Chinese to me!"
Zhang Zi'an showed the majesty of the shop owner. He was speechless. One of the two presents was a designer who had studied abroad and the other was a top-notch veterinarian. His English level was very high. Only his English was average before. After work, he almost gave it to the English teacher. He pronounced the word psittaosis and almost bit his tongue when he was frying chicken.
Sun Xiaomeng couldn't help but look at Richard again and said, "Paritstiscia... Humans and pet birds, especially pigeons and parrots, may be infected and infected with them for a long time. Healthy adults are generally fine, only people with low immunity are more susceptible to teenagers. In addition to feces, pigeons and parrots are more lively and like to flap. When they are bored, they often scratch the feathers on their chests. A large number of dust feathers that are difficult to see with the naked eye fall out with their movements. Therefore, children should not live in a relatively closed space with pet birds for a long time."
Just as to prove her words, Richard poked his beak into the feathers on his chest and pecked.
Zhang Zian couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
