Recently, Americans have been a little worried, and in the grain harvest season celebrated by the whole world, 250,000 uninvited guests were actually "urged".
They are fat and strong, catapult and defecate at a height of thousands of miles, snatch food, and encroach on ponds, which can be called the "destruction army". The appearance of this group of wild geese made the local farmers in the United States cry, and in order to eliminate them, Ying-chan even used the mysterious power of the East - Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Explore the life story of wild geese
This flock of rampant wild geese is not without a place to come, their scientific name is the snow goose, which is a large migratory bird of the family Duckidae. Due to its innate strength, the snow goose has a body length of 66 cm to 84 cm and can spread its wings from 135 cm to 170 cm. The snow geese are snow-white, with plump wings and pure black at the tips of their wings, like elves from a snowy country.
If you look closely, you can see the pink beak and legs of the snow goose, the snow goose is medium in size, but it gives people a very "stocky" sense of weight, just like the big white goose raised in the countryside. Snow geese have brown irises and small, round, small eyes, and in their spare time, they also tilt their heads sideways to observe humans.
Snow geese are a cold-loving species, and they are mainly found near water in the polar regions. What is unimaginable is that the snow geese, like locusts crossing the border to snatch food, are actually very fearful, they are timid by nature and have a strong sense of vigilance. However, they are loyal to the pack and are good at team fighting, and when traveling in groups, the snow geese will appear very brave and even martial arts.
Snow geese are vegetarians, they like to eat corn seeds, grains, crop branches and leaves, and even if they are vegetarians, they can eat themselves like a "solid ball". Before winter, they eat heavily and eat food frantically in order to survive the winter. Snow geese are very strong in flight, they are natural high-altitude kings, and at the same time, their eyesight is not weak, and they can keenly detect the movement of the ground while flying against the wind.
The snow geese, feared by Americans, are in fact monogamous, which contributes to the consolidation of their population. It is known that the lifespan of snow geese is about 25 years. Snow geese are accustomed to migrating, starting in May every year, entering the breeding period, can lay 4 to 6 eggs at a time, after about 1 month of incubation, the baby snow goose can break out of the shell.
However, before the species multiplies, the snow geese migrate tirelessly, and their sightings can be found in parts of Greenland, Alaska, Siberia, etc. When the sky crosses the neat and orderly "herringbone" snow goose flock, the originally silent sky also adds a bit of vitality.
An army of attacking snow geese
When the mighty army of snow geese poured into the territory of the United States, the black oppression seemed to put a thick coat on the United States, and this scene frightened the American farmers. They know that the purpose of the snow geese is to "plunder", whether it is food or ponds.
At the end of August every year, the snow geese play a triumphant song of attack, and they drag their families and friends to embark on the road of migration together. With this sortie, the number can reach more than 10,000 in an instant. The snow geese flapped their wings and barked clearly, as if to announce their arrival.
However, this is only the number of snow geese in a group, and when each group responds to the call of the body's genes and starts the journey of reproduction, Eagle Sauce will face the pressure of 250,000 snow geese. This scared the farmers out of the way. A dozen or even thousands, they have a way to solve it. But the number of people who poured out the nest really couldn't "digest" the eagle sauce.
When the "crooked nut" meets the mysterious oriental art of war
In China, snow geese are protected by law, and they are national third-level protected birds, and they are also provincial key protected animals in Anhui Province. But the annoyed Americans don't think so. In order to avoid the loss and impact of snow goose pressure, American farmers have spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Although a variety of "goose removal" methods have been used, it still cannot shake the huge flock of geese.
The "bald" American farmers did not know where to search for the mysterious theory of the art of war from the East, and looking at those dazzling anti-enemy strategies, the American farmers patted their heads, and it was all right!
After judging the hour and sizing up the situation, the American farmer resorted to the trick of "throwing bricks and attracting jade", using illusions to confuse the enemy, lure the enemy into dispatch, and then annihilate him in one fell swoop. A large number of "artificial snow geese" were laid on the grain field, and even the "martial arts instructors" wore white battle suits in an attempt to confuse the ears and eyes of the snow geese.
In order to increase the realism, hunters hired by American farmers also imitated several vivid snow goose calls. Sure enough, under some lure, the snow goose tribe really went towards the trap carefully designed by the farmer, and the charging snow goose died on the spot. Just when farmers and professional hunters were triumphant about their "studiousness", the situation changed again.
The snow geese in the front are "killed", and the substitute snow geese are more and more like "stabbing a hornet's nest". It's not that the art of war doesn't work, but that the snow geese are too large and the food is too fragrant, and they can't resist.
The battle of the humans and geese continues
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if this plan fails, the Americans began to think of other tricks. Although the snow geese were extinguished, several battles at least to a certain extent controlled the situation of the snow geese overflowing, the damage to farmland, and the occupation of ponds. Next, the Americans began to prescribe the right medicine, as the saying goes, "know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles".
However, to control the scene of up to 250,000 snow geese swooping on farmland and human habitats, there is no single approach. In terms of snow goose control, the United States has liberalized the "hunting license", and qualified hunters can "work with a license". The snow geese can be disposed of at their own disposal.
On the other hand, in order to have economic development, the United States has linked snow goose hunting to tourism. Visitors only need to spend a small amount of money to experience the joy of hunting. At the same time, some private farmers will hire special hunting companies to issue "hunt and kill orders" against snow geese that "invade" their farms to protect cash crops.
Some people think that these snow geese are like "wild meat" delivered to the door, and they don't eat for nothing. When it comes to wild animals like snow geese, Americans are more fond of turkeys. However, in any case, this huge "human-goose war" will continue for a long time to come.
The 250,000 snow geese flew to the United States in a rage, and the extent of the damage caused by it was not boasted. Once the snow geese flock is successful and unrestrained, then the farmland, pasture, and grain that the Americans have maintained for many years will suffer, thank you for reading.
