Snowy owls are birds that need to be raised by both parents. They do not have any hunting ability when they are young.
The snowy owl father will hunt for food and bring it to the snowy owl mother. Then the snowy owl mother will carefully break the food into small pieces, remove the bones and feathers, and feed the pure meat to the little snowy owl.
Snowy owl mothers usually lay 4 eggs per clutch, sometimes as many as 11, or even 13, and at least 3.
There are many brothers and sisters, which means that not every snowy owl can have enough to eat.
If there is insufficient food, the larger Little Snowy Owl will grab the food first, while the smaller Little Snowy Owl will probably die of hunger over time.
This situation will get worse and form a vicious cycle. The snowy owls that have grabbed the food will learn the ability to fight for it, and the smaller snowy owls will lose the ability to eat because of hunger.
In nature, competition often begins from the moment of birth.
But what surprised Huo Yu was that the little snowy owl in his palm didn't look like a relatively small cub.
Instead, it looks chubby and plump to the touch, and looks more like the strongest individual in the litter.
Good guy, could it be that Lao Liu stole the strongest one in the litter?
This bird thief is really worthy of Xiaoliu’s father, his genetics are really strong...
"The system starts the live broadcast." Huo Yu placed the little snowy owl on the console of the studio, and then decisively communicated with the system.
Cute little animals are perfect for harvesting recognition points.
"Ding! The live broadcast room has been opened."
"Current number of viewers: 219W people"
After the system prompts in his ears dissipated, a dense barrage instantly appeared in front of Huo Yu.
"Oh my God! Did I read that correctly? Mr. Yu just finished the live broadcast yesterday, and it's being re-broadcast today?"
"Mom, go buy some firecrackers to celebrate. Master Yu is no longer short and weak!"
"What is Mr. Yu holding in his hand? Is it a ball of cotton?"
"Unprecedented, is this the Master Yu we know? His body won't be taken away, right?"
"Wait, my God, that thing in Master Yu's hand is a living thing, it can move."
The little snowy owl was facing Huo Yu, its head turned 180 degrees to look at the small black ball aircraft floating in the air.
"Cuckoo?"
Seeing this scene, the audience felt as if they had been shot by a little angel with wings.
It’s almost too cute!
Huo Yu stretched out his hand to straighten the little guy's head and explained to the camera:
"Brothers, please add this in case of emergency. I picked up a little snowy owl and am now going to give it a full body check."
Huo Yu poured some hot water from the thermos beside him into the basin, and then mixed some cold water in until the water temperature became warm.
Then he soaked a clean towel with warm water and wiped the little guy carefully.
The Little Snowy Owl was dirty, and because it was almost held in Lao Liu's mouth, there was Lao Liu's wolf saliva on the down, which made it difficult to check whether there were any wounds on the surface.
As Huo Yu continued to wipe, the true appearance of the Little Snowy Owl was gradually revealed in front of everyone.
The little guy's head is round and small, the face plate is not obvious, and there are no feather clusters around the ears. Just looking at the head, it looks a bit like a little monk with hair.
The beak is pointed and has a curved hook at the top. The base of the beak is covered with whisker-like feathers like chicken down, almost covering the beak.
The irises of its eyes are golden yellow, the beak is lead gray, and the mini talons are pure black.
Its feather color is very beautiful, its whole body is snow white, like a large dandelion, and its hair is thicker than that of a dandelion.
What the audience couldn't bear the most was that the little guy kept staring straight at Huo Yu.
No matter how Huoyu plays with the little guy, its head can always rotate 360 degrees without blind angle, allowing its big Kazilan eyes to always be aimed at Huoyu and emit radio waves.
Huo Yu was a little annoyed by the little guy and stretched out a hand to turn the little guy's head back.
Unexpectedly, the little guy didn't hold on for two seconds and turned his little head back again, his big eyes full of curiosity.
Huo Yu didn't believe in evil and turned the little guy's body around.
Unexpectedly, the little snowy owl was stunned for a moment, turned its head 180 degrees again, and returned to its original position.
Huo Yu helplessly waved his hands at the camera: "Forget it, this little guy is also a stubborn owl."
The audience burst into laughter and left messages:
"The pure white little owl is so cute. As expected, any animal with the word 'cat' in it is a cute animal."
"Giant pandas, red pandas, owls, chinchillas, civet cats... I'll go, what's said upstairs seems to be true."
"Master Yu, is he ready for the sea, land and air? This child is quite pitiful. Let's adopt him."
"Ah... this is not good. Didn't Mr. Yu say that he would only adopt animals that have no father or mother and cannot survive on their own? This child should have parents, right?"
"One person writes in blood, and Master Yu adopts the little owl."
"The two wrote in blood that Mr. Yu will adopt the little owl."
"10086 people wrote in blood, Mr. Yu adopted the little owl."
Huo Yu looked at the barrages that were flooding the screen and fell into a tangle.
To be honest, he still wanted to adopt this little snowy owl, and he also had a flying pet skill book in his space backpack, which would be useful.
The most important thing is that animals in the owl family are one of the few handsome and cute flying animals. Coupled with the snow-white feathers of the snowy owl, it fits the aesthetics of Huo Yu.
Even though Huo Yu is relatively face-blind when it comes to humans, he has standard facial control over pets.
"We'll discuss this later. Let's finish the little guy's physical examination first and treat him as soon as possible if there are any wounds or diseases."
Huo Yu did not make a decision to adopt hastily. No matter what kind of pet he keeps, it must be carefully considered and considered repeatedly. This is the basic respect for life.
This truth was not realized by Huo Yu after he became an ice guard, but was taught to him by his excellent family education since he was a child.
When he was a child, Huo Jinghuan would not object to any animal Huo Yu wanted to raise, but he would not buy it on the spot either.
Huo Jinghuan first took Huo Yu home quietly, and then never mentioned it until a week later. Huo Jinghuan would call Huo Yu and ask him if he wanted to keep this pet.
If Huo Yu's idea remains unchanged, Huo Jinghuan will let him learn knowledge about this pet, and then go to the pet market to buy the one Huo Yu likes.
This education model allowed Huo Yu to understand responsibility from an early age.
Huo Yu wouldn't even look at products like the dyed chickens and painted turtles in the market that didn't care about the life and death of animals at all.
Thinking of the dyed chicks, Huo Yu came back to his senses and looked at the little snowy owl on the table.
Isn't this a high-end version of dyed chicks?
As if feeling Huo Yu's gaze, the little guy tilted his head and blinked Kazilan's big eyes at Huo Yu.
The corners of Huo Yu's mouth twitched.
Damn it...I really want to raise it, the little guy hit me right...on the heart.
