Chapter 322 Like a Dream, Like an Illusion!
Upon crossing the square, they arrived at the entrance to the tropical rainforest aviary!
It turned out that the path here had been sealed off, and the only option was to make a detour, but now they could finally approach it.
A massive oval building stood here, its shape resembling a bird egg half-buried in the soil.
Through the stainless steel mesh, one could faintly make out the lush greenery inside! Enjoy new stories from empire
At the entrance of the aviary stood a chubby volunteer in a green vest, and it was Daigo, looking fresh and energetic.
Animal keepers wore blue uniforms, while volunteers donned grass green vests similar to those worn by traffic directors.
Today was also the day the volunteers began their first shift after completing their training.
Seeing visitors approaching, Daigo pointed to a sign beside him, "Hello, visitors, please take a look at this before entering the aviary.
Since this is an open aviary where you can come into close contact with the birds, please be aware not to make too much noise or chase and drive away the birds to prevent scaring them!
It is absolutely forbidden to throw objects at the birds or to catch them, or to make any other action that might harm the birds.
Parents with children, remember to keep an eye on your little ones and set a good example for them!"
Filled with curiosity, Yingying's father asked, "What if the birds are willing to come into contact with us?"
Inside, Daigo thought to himself that you're not the Archdruid, how could the birds be so enthusiastic to come up to you? It's good enough if they don't run away when they see people approaching. This question had been asked several times today.
Still, he responded with a smile, "If the birds themselves are willing, it's fine!"
After being advised, the family entered the aviary.
As soon as they walked in, Liu Xueqing looked at the forest in front of her and exclaimed in awe!
The surroundings were filled with dense greenery, fig trees, palms, ferns, and other tropical trees dominating the woodland floor, along with ferns and other forest ground cover plants, truly capturing the atmosphere of a tropical rainforest! A vibrant green was the main theme throughout the exhibit.
The air even smelled better, fresh and moist with a subtle fragrance of leaves and wood.
Taking a deep breath, they felt completely relaxed!
Yingying's father took out his camera and started clicking away!
He captured the environment of the exhibition hall, including signs about the birds at the entrance—there were five or six of them, lined up one after the other, each one providing information about the different species in the enclosure, complete with pictures of the birds.
Since the birds' activity areas were not fixed due to mixed species housing, the descriptive signs had to be placed at the entrance.
Then he took a couple of pictures of Yingying and Liu Xueqing as well.
"Ga, ga!"
"Oh, oh!"
"Chirp chirp~"
Chirping sweetly, roughly, melodiously, lightly, and loudly, the birds' calls of varying tones and pitches came from near and far, merging into a chorus, rising and falling as they sang.
Though there were many calls, the sound wasn't chaotic at all, but rather harmonious, almost as if it was meant to be.
This was the song of the birds!
Liu Xueqing couldn't help but say to Yingying's father, "This environment is amazing, right?"
From the heart, Yingying's father exclaimed, "It must have cost quite a bit of money! Wow, you can tell a lot of effort went into this!"
He added, "This must be the best aviary in the country!"
The birds soared in the sky, sang loudly from the branches, each creating its own music, beautiful and melodious, free and lively, joyous and cheerful!
Visitors widened their eyes, turning their heads curiously like babies, listening to the birds and looking for their traces.
"Mama, mama! Look, there's a bird over there!"
Yingying was ecstatic, pulling Liu Xueqing and pointing the way for her.
Liu Xueqing looked in the direction given and saw a small bird with chestnut-red underparts and blue head and neck perched on a branch like a little round ball. It seemed to sense someone watching it and, flapping its wings, flew away.
"What a beautiful bird!"
"Mama, there's another bird over there!"
A grey and white bird was standing on the railing of the walkway, with what looked like a rather sharp beak.
Liu Xueqing was slightly overwhelmed: "Wow, I don't recognize any of these birds!"
Yingying's father took out his camera and flipped through the photos he had just taken, comparing them with the patterns of the birds, but there were so many different species that he was dazzled and couldn't make any distinctions.
He simply gave up trying to identify them!
After all, appreciating the beauty of the birds and listening to their melodious calls, enjoying the splendor of nature was enough.
Walking along the path, another pristine and beautiful bird flew by and alighted on a nearby handrail.
Around its eyes, there was a ring of blue skin, as if it had been touched up with eyeshadow, and the ribbon-like crest on its head looked quite amusing.
This one didn't seem to be very afraid of people!
Yingying promptly greeted, "Hello, little bird!"
The bird turned its head, looking around, and upon hearing someone call out to it, suddenly opened its mouth and emitted a short and loud chirp: "Chirp chirp coo quee!"
Being so close, Yingying's father quickly said, "Don't hurry away, let me take a photo of you!"
"Chirp chirp coo quee!"
The white bird soon flew off again.
Every few steps brought new discoveries! Even if one stood still, different birds would come and go.
After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up.
"Wow! What is that!"
The tourists exclaimed in surprise.
They saw a huge, attention-grabbing giant tree in the center of the garden, very striking!
Liu Xueqing didn't know what kind of tree it was, but the tall one stood towering, piercing the sky, as if to break through the aviary's dome.
The trunk was thick; it seemed that several adults together couldn't embrace it, which looked very spectacular, almost like the World Tree from a fantasy novel!
The verdant canopy was like a vast umbrella, with sunlight piercing through the dense leaves and falling in streaks, shining on the dozens of parrots of various sizes flying around the giant tree.
Hyacinth macaws, red-and-green macaws, scarlet macaws!
Lorikeets, grey parrots, Amazon parrots, white cockatoos!
Strands of golden sunlight sprinkled down, reflecting on the parrots' brilliant grey, white, red, blue, yellow, green, and purple feathers, casting a rainbow of dazzling colors, like numerous beautiful rainbows frolicking up and down in the air.
Chasing and frolicking, flying at will!
They traced elegant and intricate paths in the sky, weaving a tapestry of colorful splendor!
These parrots seemed to carry all the colors of the world, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene, making one feel as though they had accidentally entered elven dwellings, and their eyes couldn't bear to look away for even a moment.
Parrots are very sociable birds; they flock together quickly, and dozens of parrots soon started playing together.
The macaws originally from Linhai Zoo led the flight, with the other parrots following behind them.
Fang Ye had been trying to feed the animals some spiritual water for a while and noticed that the effects of spiritual water were not limited to just restoring energy or speeding up recovery for the animals. It seemed to also enhance their intelligence, which was most evident in the macaws.
In any case, the macaws at the zoo were quick learners when it came to talking, and they interacted pleasantly with the other parrots. Now, they had become the leaders, guiding them in their aerial patrols.
