Jiang Feng fed so raw at to the Golden Eagle.
This fellow wasn’t shy at all, eating as much as he was given.
After it had eaten about half a pound, Jiang Feng waved it off, "That’s all for now, off you go."
"Don’t co to the ranch to steal things in the future."
"If you want to eat, I’ll feed you directly."
The Golden Eagle stared at Jiang Feng, unafraid.
After a while, seeing that Jiang Feng wouldn’t feed it anymore, it flapped its wings and soared away.
On its first takeoff, it was a bit unsteady, wobbling slightly.
It quickly adjusted and flew up into the sky.
Jiang Feng watched as the Golden Eagle went away, seeing it off.
One has to admit, the Golden Eagle is indeed impressive.
Especially soaring in the sky, the sense of having the whole world beneath one’s feet is even more pronounced.
The live stream viewer count reached over 80,000.
Feeding a Golden Eagle live, such scenes are rare.
As Jiang Feng watched the Golden Eagle disappear into the distance, he said:
"The Golden Eagle is one of the largest birds of prey, and also the coolest."
"As everyone saw just now, the feathers of this Golden Eagle aren’t gold; they’re mostly brown."
"Does anyone know why it’s not called ’Brown Eagle’ but instead the Golden Eagle?"
Hearing Jiang Feng’s question, everyone grew curious.
The Golden Eagle’s feathers are mostly brown, with patterns on them.
But why it’s called the Golden Eagle is quite perplexing.
Jiang Feng imdiately explained:
"It’s because the feathers just behind the Golden Eagle’s head and around its neck are golden yellow."
"This golden hue is extrely dazzling in the sunlight."
"So when people look up at the sky and see a massive bird of prey soaring under the sun, radiating a golden glow."
"They call it the Golden Eagle."
"Just like now."
Jiang Feng looked up at the sky.
The prairie sunshine fell on the Golden Eagle, and the feathers behind its neck emitted a golden brilliance.
Everything seed so dreamy.
The drone’s cara captured the scene in the distance.
Under the high-definition cara, online viewers clearly saw the Golden Eagle soaring in the sky.
[Oh, that’s the reason!]
[The Golden Eagle really does appear golden under the sun!]
[So cool!]
[Class I protected animals are no joke; wherever it appears, it’ll make it to the local news!]
[The wildlife on the prairie looks so wild!]
The barrage kept flowing.
Viewers were extrely excited.
Living in big cities for a long ti, many have seen very few wild animals, so only knowing them by na.
And now, a Class I protected animal appears in the live stream, naturally drawing massive attention.
Seeing the lively barrage, Jiang Feng shared more about the Golden Eagle:
"The Golden Eagle is formidable. Adult Golden Eagles hunt not only rabbits, but also foxes, blue sheep, marmots, and roe deer."
"There’s also a much-debated topic online about whether Golden Eagles can hunt wolves."
"Because there are videos circulating of Golden Eagles attacking wolves."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, several viewers imdiately chid in:
[I rember, I’ve seen that video, Golden Eagles can even hunt wolves!]
[This bird’s wingspan can reach 2.3 ters! What a concept, its wings spread wider than a human’s height! It’s normal to hunt wolves!]
[Really? Wolves aren’t that easy to bully, right?]
[There’s video evidence, can’t fake that!]
Seeing everyone’s debate, Jiang Feng explained:
"Golden Eagles don’t have the ability to hunt wolves but can help humans hunt them."
"The Kazakhs have a culture of falconry. Speaking of which, I’m a bit envious. Their adult males can ride horses, holding eagles to show off the birds they’ve trained."
"Then, when there’s a need to hunt wolves, the Kazakhs will send out their eagles to attack the wolves, but it’s humans who finish the job."
"So strictly speaking, Golden Eagles don’t hunt wolves on their own, because both are fierce animals, and the Golden Eagle could also beco prey to the wolf."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
At this mont, soone else asked:
[Ranch owner, do Golden Eagles hunt lynxes? Lynxes are on the sa level as wolves; would they catch them?]
Seeing this question, Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback.
He laughed and said:
"Lynxes are cats, nature’s perfect predators are felines."
"Birds dare not ss with cats."
"Golden Eagles wouldn’t be so reckless."
The Golden Eagle had already flown far away.
There were still so matters Jiang Feng needed to handle on the ranch.
He walked out from the yard, heading to the sheep pen to check on the sheep.
His ranch covered a vast area.
Today, over two thousand sheep and more than a hundred cattle were brought in.
Eight dairy cows also arrived at the dairy farm.
Seeing the sheep in the pen, Jiang Feng said to everyone:
"Do you know what’s the most troubleso thing about such a big ranch?"
Hearing this, the online viewers listened with great interest.
Jiang Feng continued:
"Counting the sheep is the most troubleso; the numbers always fluctuate within about ten, and no matter how you count, you can’t be accurate."
"We even thought about numbering each sheep, but with four thousand sheep, it’s too cumberso and unnecessary."
"If two ranches share a pasture, both would color-code and number their sheep to distinguish their own."
"Since this is all my own ranch, there’s no need for numbering."
"So counting sheep is a hassle."
Everyone imdiately burst into laughter.
[Would you fall asleep counting them?]
[So counting sheep ca from this!]
[Count in tens!]
[But sheep move around, and counting in tens is tiring too.]
[Actually, it’s just not wanting to bother because they don’t care about the discrepancy.]
[That’s true, the ranch is big enough, you can’t lose sheep, missing a few doesn’t matter!]
Seeing everyone’s comnts, Jiang Feng nodded,
"Yeah, it’s really unnecessary to fret over these sheep, just roughly estimate."
"However, 108 cows arrived at the ranch today, that I’m clear about."
"Cows are valuable, each one counts, so they must be accurately counted."
"No matter how big the ranch, the number of cows has to be precise."
He walked from the sheep pen to the cattle pen.
Here were all beef cattle.
Cattle have more at and are more expensive; they’re the most valuable on the ranch.
Gelya was busy feeding the cattle with forage, as it was already late today, letting them eat so feed first.
In the early morning tomorrow, they’ll be let out to graze on the prairie.
[So it’s okay to roughly count sheep because they’re cheap!]
[Hahaha, is the strear really this candid?]
[One sheep costs a few hundred bucks, but a cow is worth tens of thousands, definitely not the sa.]
[I won’t count sheep anymore when going to sleep; they’re too cheap, doesn’t fit my status, I’ll count cows instead.]
Jiang Feng was quite relaxed at the mont.
There wasn’t much work, so he just wandered around the ranch.
The little Border Collie, cute and fluffy, followed him wherever he went.
The online viewer’s comnts were also in his view.
Jiang Feng, with an indifferent expression, explained:
"Counting sheep originated from abroad because the word for sheep, ’sheep’, and the word for sleep, ’sleep’, are homophones in English, so counting sheep implicitly suggests sleeping, helping people fall asleep."
"No one counts sheep dostically."
"If you really have insomnia, I think you should count ’dumplings’ instead."
"Because ’dumplings’ sounds similar to sleeping in Chinese."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the viewers were slightly bewildered, and the chat imdiately beca lively.
[Yet another piece of useless knowledge, but the strear is so quirky, quite interesting, hahaha!]
[Counting dumplings, genius, I’m getting hungry just hearing it, can you really sleep like that?]
[Makes sense, too hungry to sleep, counting dumplings, then get up and order takeout to sleep well.]
[One dumpling, two dumplings, three dumplings... not sure if I can sleep, but I’m definitely getting hungry counting them.]
