It is no longer particularly unusual to keep pet cats or dogs, but now many friends take the unconventional route and raise some uncommon animals. Recently, it was reported that a man was raising a grass hawk, a kestrel. The kestrel is a national second-level protected animal and is not allowed to be kept privately. But the man felt that if he released it, the kestrel would not adapt to the environment and die.

Ms. Wang, a citizen of Changchun, called yesterday: On West Zhonghua Road, there is a man who treats an eagle as a pet. You can always see him walking the eagle, which is quite funny.

New Culture reporter Duan Chao verified reports that Ms. Wang lives near the intersection of West Zhonghua Road and Jianshe Street. On West Zhonghua Road, she can always see a man walking an eagle. The man's surname was Chu. He tied the eagle's neck with a rope and wandered nearby. Sometimes the eagle flew to his shoulder, sometimes to his head. Mr. Chu said this was the eagle's way of expressing friendship.

Mr. Chu introduced that this is a 3-month-old grass eagle, kestrel (sn), given by a friend. The eagle's beak was somewhat damaged. Mr. Chu said that more than 20 days ago, he planned to cut off the rope under the eagle's neck. Unexpectedly, the eagle picked up the scissors and pecked off its beak. He said that in the past, when the eagle ate meat, it used its two hooked talons to press the meat and tear it open with its beak. But now it can no longer be done because its beak is no longer sharp, so he had to cut the meat into small pieces and feed it.

He said that the eagle's way of "bathing" is to flutter in the sand. There was a pile of sand in the nearby yard, and they often led the eagle there, and the eagle would "bathe" by itself. As time passed, the relationship between Ying and Mr. Chu became closer, so he held his fingers in his mouth and pecked them as if he were joking. "It's not good for strangers. I always tell people who are curious about watching eagles not to let the eagle bite them."

Mr. Chu said that he knew that he was raising a second-level protected animal in the country. "I also thought about releasing it, but I was always worried that it wouldn't survive."
