Chapter 569 - 249: Rainforest Scenery_3
As he was discussing with his live-streaming audience why the parrot was behaving so unusually, the answer was soon revealed.
The parrot’s belly feathers slowly tightened, revealing a foot underneath.
Unlike typical parrots that stand on two feet, this one was standing on only one foot, while the position of the other foot was just a half bald leg.
Just a minute ago, what the audience had praised as a beautiful treasure turned out to be a parrot missing its left foot.
Noticing this, Lin Yang quickly adjusted the camera to focus on the parrot’s foot,"We’ve solved the mystery: this parrot has a disability. Look at its foot."
While giving a close-up, he turned to ask Guide Tata Luo, "In the local tribes, does anyone specifically hunt these parrots? This one obviously has an old injury."
Sun Zheng relayed his words exactly to Tata Luo, who quickly explained, and the gist of it was quite simple.
"In the rainforest, parrots are very common birds. Although there are national protection measures, in many remote tribes where even eating is a problem, they don’t consider animal protection much."
"The adult hunters in the tribe mostly don’t hunt these birds that don’t have much meat, but the tribe’s older children use blow darts, short bows, traps, and even slingshots to hunt birds. The situation where such a large parrot is missing a foot could very likely be due to hunting by the tribe’s children."
