I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 324 It's Going Mad With Laughter

After taking two turns along the walkway, they finally neared the giant tree at the center of the exhibit!

The closer they got, the more majestic and unbelievable the giant tree seemed, stirring an impulse to bow in reverence.

One could see that the giant tree was about thirty to forty meters tall, with roots two to three meters above ground, resembling a thick wall, and some ant-like visitors were taking photos together beneath it.

Yingying's father murmured while looking at the plaque in front of them, "So this tree is called tetrameles nudiflora, what a strange name!"

Most visitors to the aviary were clustered in this area at the moment!

Walking under the huge, dense canopy, watching various parrots flying by from time to time, was an absolutely magical experience!

Liu Xueqing saw a grey parrot that seemed to be tired from flying and had stopped to rest for a while on the handrail beside her.

She approached it carefully, and the grey parrot, which had been relaxing with half-closed eyes, suddenly opened them, appearing somewhat guarded.

It looked at Liu Xueqing sideways, its eyes brimming with intelligence.

Liu Xueqing turned to Yingying and said, "Hey, Yingying, look at this parrot!"

As she turned her head, the grey parrot angled its head slightly, taking the opportunity to size her up.

Yingying looked at the grey parrot, drab in its grey plumage, and bluntly said, "Mama, it's so ugly!"

Liu Xueqing replied, "How can you say that, it's quite cute, isn't it?"

Seeing the grey parrot watching her, she greeted it with a smile, "Hi~ How are you?"

The grey parrot turned its head away disdainfully and moved a couple of steps further with its feet.

Yingying's father couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Yingying, you disdain it, and it disdains you too!"

At that moment, a weirdly hysterical burst of laughter came from nearby, "Wuwuwu hahahahahaha!!"

The family turned curiously and found Fang Ye there!

He was holding out his hand, with a bird perched on it that had a greyish-brown back and a white chest and belly. It tilted back its head, opened its mouth wide, and the ghostly loud laughter seemed to come from this bird. Despite being alone, the bird managed to convey the feeling of a crowd of people laughing riotously at a gathering!

The beak opened in a wonderful curve, much like the crazily upturned corners of a person's mouth!

All the visitors couldn't help but laugh along!

"Hahahaha!!"

"What kind of bird is this? It's so funny!"

"This laugh that knows no relatives!"

"It's cackling!"

As the laughter from the bird died down, Fang Ye introduced to the visitors, "This bird is called the laughing kookaburra, a very famous bird from Australia!

It gets its name from its laughter-like call. There's also the white-breasted waterhen, whose call sounds like 'kue, kue' which is a bit like saying 'bitter! bitter!' but not as distinct as the laughing kookaburra. We have white-breasted waterhens here in our park too, and you are welcome to listen to their calls if you are interested."

Someone started filming with their phone, "Director Fang, make it laugh again, will you?"

Fang Ye laughed, "Sure! Actually, it's very easily amused. Let me show you."

He puckered his lips and uttered "woo, woo, woo," mimicking the sounds of a monkey.

The laughing kookaburra immediately burst into an uproarious laugh again!

Its sharp, long beak first opened wide, "hahaha" laughing in a devilishly enchanting manner.

Then it tilted back its head and partly closed its mouth, "gaga gaga," releasing a series of short, loud laughs!

At last, its throat even moved visibly, "Woo, woo, woo, woo~~~~" bursting into a bizarre laughter, making people wonder how such a small body could have such strong lung capacity to laugh non-stop for so long!

Suddenly, the laughing kookaburra's laughter came to an abrupt halt, it closed its mouth, lowered its upturned head, and calmly watched the visitors.

"Hahahaha!"

The visitors were made to laugh out loud by the laughing kookaburra, and whether they were adults or children, their eyes were shining bright and their faces filled with smiles!

Someone mimicked the method that Fang Ye had taught and made a few monkey calls, the laughing kookaburra again opened its mouth and tilted back its head, "Hoo hoo hoo ha ha ha ha ha!" and burst into wild laughter!

Liu Xueqing had been laughing from the beginning, her cheeks aching from the laughter, covering her face and rubbing it: "This laughing kookaburra is too funny!"

Yingying was also laughing "giggle giggle" nonstop, and if she hadn't been holding onto her leg, she might have laughed herself to the ground, "Mama, I like the laughing bird!"

Liu Xueqing corrected her, "This isn't a laughing bird, it's a laughing kookaburra!"

Yingying's father was laughing so hard his shoulders shook, and he could hardly steady the camera he was filming with, overwhelmed with amusement, "This bird is something else, I'm actually worried it might laugh itself to death!"

Among those taking photos were not just tourists, but also reporters!

For the opening of the tropical rainforest aviary, Mi Jin, of course, came over as well, vigorously taking photos of Fang Ye holding the laughing kookaburra and the smiling faces of everyone around. She thought to herself, Zoo Director Fang's zoo always brings pleasant surprises to people!

In the direction of the waterfall, a faint whistle sound was carried over!

One of the tourists asked with curiosity, "What bird is making that sound?"

Fang Ye turned off his affable skill, and the laughing kookaburra on his hand flew away on its own.

Normally, the laughing kookaburra isn't very afraid of visitors at the zoo, but since it had not been trained, only his use of the skill kept it calmly perched on his hand.

He explained to the tourists, "That's actually not the sound of a bird, but a whistle used by the animal keepers for training!"

As he spoke, Jinzhi and a few macaws called out, "Caw caw."

Brethren, the animal keeper is giving out food, let's go!

The parrots resting on the treetop or the handrails also took flight, following behind them, forming a colorful cloud that flew towards the distance.

In the sky, it was as if a parrot rainbow brushed across, magnificent and beautiful!

The tourists were astounded, "Wow!"

"Getting to see something like this today is really worth it!"

"This is a jackpot, right?"

Mi Jin hurriedly snapped photos!

The parrots had flown towards the waterfall valley; some tourists turned back, wanting to check out the parrots' activity over there, while others went to different spots, and Liu Xueqing and her family came down from the upper corridor by elevator.

There were many attractions below as well!

The environment of the tropical aviary is surrounded by plants with a big tree in the center, so the lower part of the central area is relatively open, with sand, a pond, and grassland.

On the grassland, there were birds shaped like cranes with beaks resembling chickens; three were nestled on the ground basking in the sun, while another was pacing!

Their chests and bellies were black, their backs were gray, and there was a touch of blue on their necks.

Yingying's father found it interesting, "Hey, this bird looks pretty funny, as if it were printed but ran out of ink halfway through!"

Liu Xueqing thought this comparison was quite apt, with its black color abruptly turning to gray on the back. Out of curiosity, she asked, "Can this bird fly? Its wings look so short."

Yingying's father speculated, "Maybe it's like a peafowl."

While they were talking, the bird pacing around suddenly puffed up its back, its slender legs supporting its elliptical body, looking like a cotton candy, very amusing.
