    "If Qin Shiou hadn't dealt with old James and knew that he was serious, he would have thought that the old man was joking with him.

    This is a bald eagle?  Is this guy with gray-brown feathers like a gray dove the famous American national bird?

    Qin Shiou didn¡¯t know much about seabirds. Hearing what Old James said, he was full of surprise.

    Old James was also surprised and asked: "Can't you recognize it? This is a baby bald eagle, a very small little guy."

    Qin Shiou felt ashamed of his ignorance and muttered: "Um, isn't the bald eagle's head snow-white? Isn't its beak golden? Why is it so - uh, such a bird?"

    After listening to his words, old James burst out laughing and explained: "My oriental young man, you don't know enough about the bald eagle. This bird is like an ugly duckling. In childhood, its feathers are dark brown, which is very ugly. But when it grows up,  Big, it will change completely and become a magnificent sea eagle king!"

    Only then did Qin Shiou understand what was going on. He had never paid attention to this kind of raptor, which was revered as a sacred bird by the natives of North America.

    Old James pointed to the big tree next to Qin Shiou. This is a tall North American redwood, more than thirty meters high and nearly two meters in diameter. The trunk rises straight into the sky, majestic and proud. In Gloucester Harbor, this  The tree is the landmark that gives the lighthouse its name.

    The North American redwood is one of the four tallest trees in the world. In its native California, it can often grow to more than 100 meters high and more than eight meters in diameter. It can be called a giant on land.

    There is a bird's nest at the top of the trunk of this redwood tree. It is made of branches and sticks. It is also very large. Even from a distance of more than thirty meters, Qin Shiou can notice its magnificence.

    Old James pointed to the bird's nest and explained: "There live Mr. and Mrs. Bush and Barbara. They are the only pair of bald eagles in our harbor. You know, Qin, this kind of bird is very rare now. We keep encroaching on it."  Their habitat and the use of bis-p-chlorophenyltrichloroethane-based pesticides that prevent them from laying eggs are reducing their numbers."

    "In addition, the way this bird reproduces also contributes to their scarcity. The female bird in the bald eagle begins to hatch after laying the first egg, and then lays a second egg in the early stages of incubation, causing the chicks to hatch.  The dates can differ by a few days, so the chicks that hatch first are often much larger than the chicks that hatch later."

    "In this way, when food is scarce, the bigger chicks that hatched first will eat the smaller chicks that hatched later as food!"

    Qin Shiou grinned. Damn it, tigers are poisonous and don't eat their seeds. This bald eagle is so dangerous in its nest. How can the elder brother and sister use the younger brother and sister as food?

    But it¡¯s normal to think about it. The more brave and good at fighting birds and beasts are, the more cruel and harsh the living environment is. Otherwise, their fierce and fierce temperament cannot be polished.

    For example, Qin Shiou's hometown used to raise mastiffs. When nine puppies were born in a litter, they were stuffed into the cellar when their baby teeth had grown and made them kill each other. The one that survived in the end could be a powerful figure in the mountains.  Look at the mountain mastiff.

    As he spoke, Old James knelt down, pulled the little eagle, and said regretfully: "Barbara gives birth to two children every year. For some reason, she and Bush's children always like to fight, and the older chicks will be bitten to death.  A little baby bird. This little bird probably fell from the nest after being attacked by its brother. Unfortunately, its wings have not grown yet and cannot fly. It can only be opened to cushion"

    As he spoke, Old James shook his head in frustration.

    Qin Shiou saw that the little eagle was still struggling slightly and said, "It's not dead yet. Now let's get a doctor to take a look at it. Can't it be saved?"

    Old James said helplessly: "The bald eagle's vitality is very tenacious. Even if its head is chopped off, it can still fly several kilometers. But this little guy is finished. My young man, fell from a height of thirty meters, even if he spreads his wings to cushion  But its internal organs were shattered, and now it's just shining brightly."

    Thinking of the majesty of the bald eagle he had seen on TV or in movies before, Qin Shiou felt itchy in his heart. He asked, "Old man, can I take this little bird away?"

    Old James shrugged and said, "It's up to you, but I advise you not to waste your efforts. This little thing is destined to meet God."

    Qin Shiou carefully held the little eagle in his hands and hurried to the yacht. Old James shouted behind him: "Don't expose the little eagle's body when you are at sea. Be careful of getting into trouble! The sea supervisor will not listen.  Your explanation!¡±

    The U.S. Wild Bird Protection Act stipulates that fishermen are not allowed to kill birds when going to sea. In addition, the bald eagle is a cites first-level protected bird in the Washington Convention. Trading and killingBald eagles are illegal.

    Sea Monster and Shaq were shopping, replenishing the boat with bait and other accessories. When they saw Qin Shiou hurriedly ran to the yacht and asked them what was wrong, Qin Shiou didn't have time to talk to them, so he went directly to the yacht, found a basin of water and put the little eagle in it.  Get into the water.

    Being jolted by him, the little eagle, which was about to reach the end of its life, almost died, and its tender little mouth was covered with bloodshot eyes.

    After putting it into the water, Qin Shiou frantically drove the Poseidon energy into it from all directions. The little eagle lay helplessly in the water, eyes closed and motionless.

    "Shit! Damn it!" Qin Shiou kicked the basin angrily, and the basin swayed. The little eagle inside flapped its wings, opened its eyes weakly, and looked at Qin Shiou in panic.

    Seeing Xiaoying's reaction, Qin Shiou was so happy that he rushed to inject Poseidon energy into Xiaoying's body. As long as the little thing was still breathing, he believed he could save it.

    Behind him, Shaq and others boarded the yacht in a panic and asked anxiously: "Boss, what's wrong?"

    Just now, only Qin Shiou went to the children who were watching. Shaq, Sea Monster and others were not in this leisurely mood, so they didn't know about the little bald eagle.

    Qin Shiou raised his finger and shushed, pretending to be nervous, he looked outside and took out the wet eaglet from behind.

    "God, bald eagle!" cried the sea monster.

    Shaq covered his mouth and asked Qin Shiou carefully: "Hey, boss, where did you get this?"

    The bald eagle is a species that is prohibited from trade and poaching in both the United States and Canada. It is protected more intensively than rare birds such as Darwin's rhea, razor-billed pheasant, emperor woodpecker, and Cuban hook-billed kite. After all, it is the national bird.

    Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "I picked it up. Those children found this little bird that fell from the tree. They thought the bird had fallen to death, and then I picked it up."

    Poseidon energy is not a quick-acting heart-saving pill. The little bald eagle is still wilting now. It lies weakly in Qin Shiou's hand, with all kinds of weakness, and it is difficult to open its eyes.

    Shaq and the sea monster looked at each other, and just as they were about to say something, Qin Shiou waved his hand and said, "Don't persuade me to give it back to anyone, this little guy is mine, and I want to take it back to Farewell Island."

    ¡°Then take it back, and hope you can leave the United States safely.¡± Shaq said, since this is a bird obtained from the United States, it would be better to bring it to Canada.

    Qin Shiou built a nest with wood powder in the corner of the yacht, and then put the ugly little bald eagle inside.

    The little bald eagle was listless. He looked at Qin Shiou with half-open eyes, stuffed his head into his wings and lay down to take a nap.

    Seeing how lazy and ugly it looked, Qin Shiou originally wanted to name it Chou Chou, Lazy Egg, or something like that. But then he remembered that its father was named Bush, so he patted its little head and said, "Okay, you can just call it  George W. Bush."

    Mainly because he felt that George W. Bush seemed to sound better than names like Chou Chou and Lazy Egg. Huzi and Leopard snorted dissatisfiedly: Dad, we two brothers have something to say about the name issue.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
