Once winter comes, even with the support of the heart of the pasture, the growth rate of forage grass will still decrease to the slowest point of the year. Forage grasses at this time rely entirely on their old capital, and they cannot produce grass seeds and cannot regenerate.

In this case, Wang Bo believes that the primary task of the pasture is to reduce the consumption of forage, especially to reduce the damage to the forage by certain animals.

For example, grassland possums, these mice love to eat grass roots, and they are very good at digging holes underground, so many grasses are destroyed by possums every winter.

Wang Bo said this, the cowboys nodded, and Peterson said: "Yes, this is a headache for all ranchers, but what does this have to do with the sheep pecking parrot?"

"Of course it's relevant. We saw that the sheep pecking parrot is fierce, can fly, has strong sports ability, and has a strong predation."

"So, can we tame these pecking parrots and use them to hunt possums? Let them work for us so that they have food and will naturally not attack our flocks."

Sheep pecking parrots are a species of birds with a high social nature. They like to live in groups, which is also a favorable condition for dealing with opossums.

There are too many opossums, and a few parrots are useless to them, and a few parrots are not worthwhile when Wang Bo comes to tame them.

"This is an idea. This kind of bird is an opportunist. When they are hungry, they will attack various small animals. Their movements are as agile as a ferocious eagle. If they are used to deal with the possum, then the possum will be in trouble." Cousins ​​nodded.

In fact, according to research, sheep pecking parrots did not attack the flock at the beginning. After all, sheep are outsiders from New Zealand and they are natives.

Before sheep came to New Zealand, because they had many parasites on them, these insects were one of the foods for pecking parrots, the parrots flew to them to catch parasites and eat them.

By chance, they pecked the sheepskin and ate the mutton meat, thus finding that the mutton tasted better, so they gradually changed their diet.

It was precisely because Wang Bo saw this research that he had the idea of ​​training them to deal with possums.

Obviously, the recipes for pecking parrots can be changed and can change quickly. When they find that opossums are also great food, they will take the initiative to catch them.

What Wang Bo wants to do in this way is to make the parrots feel that eating possums is more appropriate than eating mutton.

Peterson disagreed with his approach and shook his head and said, "You may not know that the head, the pecking parrots usually have no place to live, and most of them are nomadic for food. They will not stop somewhere."

"No, my guy, they will stay. Sheep pecking parrots are not stupid. Sunset Town is beautiful and people are kind. When they find that there is a lot of food here, why should they leave?"

Peterson smiled and said, "You overestimate the IQ of the birds."

Wang Bo smiled but said nothing. He had absolute confidence because there was a heart of a bird's nest that had never been useful in the box of Rongxin.

There are several hills at the edge of the southeast corner of the pasture. In recent years, Sunset Town has celebrated Arbor Day every year. These hills originally had no trees, but now some fir and pine trees are planted.

He took out the heart of the bird's nest and placed this heart in the center of the hills.

The heart of the bird's nest was attached to the land and expanded, covering the entire hills.

It seemed that it could have extended into the pasture, but the hearts of the two territories could not be superimposed. In the end, the heart of the bird's nest controlled the location of the hills and the grasslands behind.

The next thing to do is to capture these sheep pecking parrots and domesticate them to catch mice.

Seeing that Wang Bo was determined to win this matter, Peterson shrugged and said, "Okay, you are the boss, I'll listen to you. Let's try it. Maybe they can be domesticated into mouse-catching masters."

Kossie didn't agree with this approach. She shook her head and said, "I think it's better to mobilize the townsmen to catch mice. When I was working in Corred's ranch, this is how he cleaned up the possums in the ranch."

"Maybe we can use both moves." Wang Bo said with a smile.

Peterson rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, let's start working. Now the first thing to do is to catch the sheep pecking parrot."

Koxi said: "It's not difficult. It's difficult to drive away the pecking parrots, but it's too easy to catch them. These little idiots have a high degree of curiosity about anything new by nature. Whenever they find something strange, they will definitely come forward to observe."

This is the nature of a sheep pecking parrot, in order to quickly discover any food that can fill its stomach.

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's decorate the hills, add some food to tempt them, and maybe they will like it here."

"Boss, you're too idealistic." Peterson laughed.

This is not his idealism. He thinks the plan is practical, especially the sheep pecking parrots are indeed very fierce, and of course they can also be said to be stupid and cute.

The unresistance of the flock encouraged the arrogance of these bastard birds, which spread out in the pasture, chasing the panicked fat goats everywhere.

Because in the past autumn, the flock completed the task of gaining weight, so it grew fat and ran slowly, so it could not get rid of the birds.

The birds don't even have to fly, they can catch up with these sheep by just jumping with their two short legs.

Their short legs are strong and their claws are sharp.

In Wang Bo's eyes, this is a good tool to deal with possums.

But they were a little too arrogant and too blind and confident. As they ran, a sheep-pecker parrot met the prince who was patrolling.

The princes have been carefully trained to not hunt casually in the pastures unless they encounter hares or wild rats, and sheep and parrots are not within their target range.

Therefore, although these birds were discovered early, they did not launch an attack.

And in the eyes of the sheep pecking parrot, the eldest prince is just a black four-legged beast. What is the four-legged beast? Their food!

When the prince was found to be blocking his way, the sheep-pecker parrot jumped up quickly and jumped onto the prince's back with lightning speed, lowered his head and looked at its butt for a moment.

The eldest prince, who was originally thinking about what they were, was stunned by the biting and it hurts really!

The Rottweiler is a famous mastiff, and the eldest prince is extremely fierce. He is very good at fighting. He shook his body and threw the sheep pecking parrot off.

Then, he turned around and pounced on the tiger. The eldest prince opened his mouth and bit the big parrot, grinning, and murderous intent!

The big parrot was shocked by the murderous aura that suddenly appeared. He stared at the prince cutely. If it could speak, Lao Wang guessed that it would definitely say: I am so cute, are you willing to eat me?

The eldest prince must have been willing to let it go, but he was reluctant to let it go, so he shouted hard: "Big Prince, come back!"
Chapter completed!
