Chapter 971
After eating lunch, Wang An didn't even take a nap, cut some fresh small bear meat strips, scooped a few small fish, and carrying Da Jin and Xiao Jin, grabbing Da Cang and Xiao Cang, continued to go to the old courtyard to train the eagles.
However, different from the morning, after Wang An ran to the roof and threw the eagles for a while, he changed the training method.
Mainly because in the morning, all four eagles were forced to fly, which is to say, if Wang An didn't throw them, they wouldn't take the initiative to fly at all.
And what Wang An wanted to do in the afternoon was to let them take the initiative to fly and get used to flying; otherwise, as birds, eagles walking on the ground like chickens would be too inappropriate.
After Wang An climbed onto the roof, he put the four eagles on the roof, and then he climbed down the roof himself, walking to a place about 20 meters away from the house.
Several short whistles rang out in succession, and only then did the four eagles want to run toward Wang An.
The reason for saying short whistles is because Wang An wants to distinguish the way of calling dogs and calling eagles; otherwise, if dogs and eagles were the same, it would be very troublesome to go into the mountains in the future.
Actually, Wang An should have prepared a small whistle, which is a small whistle specifically for calling eagles, but Wang An found that the sound of blowing a small whistle is not as loud as the sound made by putting his thumb and index finger into his mouth.
Besides, for a whistle, one whistle has one sound, and there are basically no identical ones, so if the whistle is lost after going into the mountains in the future, what should he do if the eagles can't be called back?
These problems must be thought of in advance.
Wang An's whistle, although one after another, only the four eagles were on the roof, so when they ran to the eaves, they flapped their wings and came to an emergency brake.
It can be seen that these four eagles are very anxious, because they are already used to Wang An's whistle, and as long as this kind of short whistle sounds, it proves that Wang An is summoning them.
You have to know that this kind of memory was deeply planted by Wang An using the temptation of food from the moment they could move their steps.
After a stalemate for a while, Wang An moved forward a few steps and whistled again.
It must be said, no matter what you do, the most difficult thing is to take the first step; as long as the first step is taken, the road ahead will be much easier to walk.
This statement, whether it is placed on a person or an animal, is equally applicable.
After Wang An approached a few steps, these four eagles, although still very anxious, never spread their wings to fly over.
Consequently, Wang An retreated a few steps again, but the whistle never stopped.
Just like this, after several tugs, the four eagles still had no intention of taking the initiative.
To tell the truth, Wang An was really anxious at this time, because according to the silk cloth, if such a tugging time is long, the eagles will lose that sense of urgency, and it will be difficult to make them take the initiative to fly again.
After careful thinking, Wang An climbed the ladder again and took Xiao Jin, Da Cang, and Xiao Cang off the roof.
The reason for doing this is because Wang An discovered that because these four eagles grew up together, they are like brothers and sisters, and as long as they are all together, they will have dependence on each other.
Simply put, they lack independence now.
After taking these three eagles off the roof, Wang An stood again in that place about 20 meters away from the house, just like before.
Sure enough, before Wang An even whistled, Da Jin called out and waved its wings, wanting to fly over.
It can be seen that because Wang An and its three companions were far away from it, it was panicked.
Wang An was happy in his heart, turned his back to Da Jin, and whistled.
After another stalemate, just when Wang An turned his head and wanted to see what Da Jin was doing, he saw that Da Jin had already flown toward him.
Wang An's mouth twitched, and he smiled instantly.
It must be said, watching the eagle he carefully cultivated successfully take the first step, that feeling of joy is absolutely beyond words.
Mainly because Da Jin's behavior also set a perfect example for the other three eagles, which is the most important thing.
To tell the truth, although the "Eagle Breeding Method" mentioned on the silk cloth is much more loyal than the traditional "Eagle Taming Method," in fact, this "Eagle Breeding Method" wants to succeed, but it is much, much more difficult than the "Eagle Taming Method."
After all, the most difficult part of the "Eagle Taming Method" is "taming the eagle," because the process of taming the eagle is too hurtful, and after taming the eagle, it will also make people unable to recover for a long time.
But what needs to be known is that the eagle tamed in the traditional method is an eagle that can already forage alone. Such an eagle, besides letting it listen to the master, does not need to teach it anything.
But the "Eagle Breeding Method" mentioned on the silk cloth is different, because this method relies on people's training little by little, which belongs to letting the eagle learn the skills it should have had, and this point is the most difficult.
You have to know that any animal, as long as it is raised by humans, will inevitably lose its own wildness and part of its talent. How can it be possible to re-cultivate it after experiencing a series of twists and turns?
To reward Da Jin's performance, and also to deepen Da Jin's impression, Wang An took a piece of meat strip and fed it to Da Jin.
After Da Jin swallowed the meat directly, Wang An climbed onto the roof again and put Da Jin on it.
After taking the first step, the second step became very simple. As soon as Wang An's whistle sounded, Da Jin flew over immediately, flying quite smoothly.
Consequently, Wang An rewarded Da Jin with another small strip of meat.
Just like this, it came five times in total, and after feeding Da Jin 5 strips of meat, Wang An looked at Xiao Jin.
Da Jin and Xiao Jin are the absolute main force for catching hanging sheep, so Wang An naturally wants to train them first.
Almost the same operation as Da Jin, finally Xiao Jin also took that most critical first step.
Finally, Wang An put Da Jin and Xiao Jin on the roof together. These two little guys no longer had the previous mutual dependence and fear. When the whistle sounded, they spread their wings and flew instantly.
Just like humans who learn to ride a bicycle don't want to walk, and learn to ride a motorcycle don't want to pedal a bicycle, once an eagle learns to fly, it no longer wants to run on two legs.
After the two golden eagles all learned to fly, that is, when Wang An's whistle sounded, these two things would quickly fly toward Wang An, only then did Wang An look at Da Cang and Xiao Cang.
Although goshawks don't have much use even after being raised, they are already being raised, so Wang An will not give them up anymore.
But what Wang An never expected was that training these two goshawks was actually much easier than training the two golden eagles.
Of course, these two goshawks might also know that Wang An doesn't value them, so they are working very hard.
