<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >01, northeast pheasant flood</h1>
In recent years, with the initial effectiveness of environmental protection, the number of wild animals has increased significantly, and large beasts such as tigers and leopards have frequently appeared in the human world, but to say that the most headache for farmers is the wild boar, the damage of this animal to crops is large, a time can harm several acres of land, farmers do not dare to go forward to drive, after all, its attack power is too strong.
It is reported that the number of wild boars has grown to more than 1.5 million, and they are not only frequent in villages, but also in cities, and many people have also been injured or even injured by wild boars. In order to curb the "contradiction between man and pig", many places have set up professional "hunting teams" to reduce the scale of wild boars.
However, the problem of wild boar flooding has not yet been solved, and now people in the northeast complain that pheasants are "flying all over the sky", these pheasants are not afraid of people at all, and dare to run to the farmland to "scatter wild" in the daytime, whether it is wheat, corn, vegetables, rice or whatever, these pheasants do not let go.
When the farmers approached, the pheasants brushed and flew away, but after the villagers left, the pheasants landed in the farmland again, which made the farmers curse and grin. Some villagers complained that pheasants, in addition to going to the farmland to find food, even ran to their homes to grab the chicken's feed.
Some people began to wonder, the pheasant is so delicious, why don't the villagers catch it? Allow them to destroy crops and rob food? In fact, today's pheasants have really become "phoenix", and farmers really dare not provoke, what is the matter?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" >02, why don't farmers dare to mess with it? </h1>
Compared with domestic chickens, pheasants have stronger flight ability, but they can only fly short distances, but they run fast, which gives them a great weapon to avoid predators. At the same time, don't look at the pheasant's small amount of food, but it eats more than ten meals a day.
Northeast pheasants mostly grow in the mountains of about 800 meters, because they are omnivorous animals, eat everything, basically in the mountain forest can solve the food problem, and after being frightened, the pheasant will be hidden. But as the number of pheasants increased, there was not enough food in the mountains, and pheasants could only come to the fields to plague the crops, which caused annoyance among the farmers, and everyone began to catch them in large quantities.
Many people found that pheasants have a unique taste and taste delicious, many people began to catch pheasants to sell money, and their prices also began to rise, soon rising to 100 yuan a catty. Seeing that the profit is so high, the farmers come to the mountains and forests to arrest and make various traps, which can be described as a full harvest.
But it is the national trend of hunting pheasants that has caused the pheasant population to decline sharply, and if it is not stopped, it will be extinct. To this end, in 2000, the state listed pheasants as "three protected" animals, and rare breeds were listed as second-class protected animals.
In this way, the peasants naturally do not dare to provoke, after all, with the protection of the law, once someone is arrested and then reported, it will not only be fined, but even jailed.
For example, in July 2018, a villager in Henan arrested four or five pheasants and took them home to cook and eat, and after being reported, he was fined 30,000 yuan and imprisoned for 5 years, which shows the severity of the punishment.

With the rise of pheasant status, coupled with the improvement of the ecological environment, the pheasant population is also recovering rapidly. Especially in the northeast region, pheasants can be described as many as cattle feathers, flying everywhere.
In fact, the breeding ability of the pheasant itself is strong, the hen can breed 2-3 nests a year, a litter of more than ten eggs, so that a hen can produce twenty or thirty chickens a year, it can be said that the breeding speed is amazing.
At the same time, because pheasants are good at running in the complex mountain forests, they can avoid predators very well. The number of pheasants such as wolves, foxes, eagles, etc. is not large, so the pheasant population has increased explosively.
In the past, pheasants mostly searched for food in the mountains and forests, and rarely came to the farmland. But now that pheasants are flooded and food is tight in the mountains, these pheasants will look to the farmland. And after a long time, the pheasant seems to know that humans can't kill it, so it is more bold, not afraid of people at all, and is not in a hurry to avoid when it sees people coming.
These pheasants love to eat crops, especially freshly planted farmland, and if left unchecked properly, a flock of pheasants will cut out the seeds and eat them. After the seedlings germinate, they will come to eat the seedlings again.
Such behavior made the peasants angry, but there was nothing they could do. At first, farmers planted scarecrows in the farmland to scare pheasants, but after a long time, the pheasants saw that the cat was tired, and they were not afraid at all, and even wreaked havoc on the scarecrows.
As the largest grain area in China, the northeast has many farmlands, and these farmlands also feed a large number of pheasants, so the number of pheasants in the northeast is the largest in the country. Many villagers said that when they went to work in the fields, they could always find a lot of wild eggs, take them home to hatch, and they could also hatch pheasants.
So, how can you deal with pheasants in farmland? At present, there is no good way, the most common is to hang anti-light belts, place empty wine bottles, or buy bird repellents, but these things are not curative, and farmers still bother.
Hopefully, experts will come up with a better way to stop pheasants from harming farmland so that farmers can cultivate their land with more confidence.
