The Bailing egg mouth is the first of the chicken mouth series, and it can also be regarded as the main product in the whole Bailing chain. The shape of the egg opening when Bailing presses the mouth can be said to be an important criterion for the success or failure of the press.
Judging from the practice of pressing the egg mouth, if you use a good egg mouth lark to teach you, the success rate of egg mouth pressure is still very high. But most bird lovers have a hard time finding a good master bird. Even if there is one, the "taste" of the pressed egg mouth is far inferior to that of real chicken or even the one produced by using audio. Therefore, bird lovers attach great importance to the original ecological and audio pressure methods, or use a combination of bird pressure and physical mouth pressure.
However, compared to using real chicken and audio pressure to press the mouth of the Bailing Master Bird, the catchment rate is very low, which can be said to be "very little"! This is what many bird lovers have experienced personally. The reason for this, based on the practical experience of surrounding bird lovers and bird farmers, I think the key lies in the method of pressing the egg mouth:
1. Choose the right egg mouth sound source
I think that not all chickens’ egg mouth lark will learn this. You must be clear when pressing the egg opening. This is also an important experience that many bird lovers have gradually discovered in the practice of egg-pressing holes.
Tell me an example:
There is a bird lover in my area who attaches great importance to the opening of lark eggs, but is reluctant to spend a high price to buy good lark chicks, so he buys a lot of lark chicks every year to put on chickens. The farm is pressed (mainly white-feathered chickens, wood-fired chickens, etc., and he is very familiar with the chicken farm).
However, for two consecutive years, not a single one has reached the egg opening (this shows the persistence of this bird friend). Later, through his friends, he recorded the audio of different egg openings (including the calls of lark), and finally a call of Yuanbao chicken was learned by lark (note: some bird friends said that imperial concubine chicken can also be used).
Afterwards, bird friends discussed and analyzed that the reason why Yuanbao Chicken is so catchy is that its sound frequency (sound frequency, also known as audio), its timbre, pitch, syllables and even volume and speed of sound are basically Matches or is close to the call of a lark. Mainly audio frequencies, just like radio signals. Only by matching can you find the correct channel and turn on the TV or radio station.
Bird friends also talked about other animal sounds that lark basically did not learn, such as dog barking ("car crushing dog" was later only taught to birds, and how to catch it at first was just a "mystery") , as well as pigs, cows, sheep, donkeys, etc. in rural areas, Bailing does not learn (or rarely learns) even if he is exposed to them frequently. The reason is probably that the vocal frequencies of these animals are too strong. Regarding the discussion and analysis of bird friends, I think it is reasonable.
2. It is best to find a "substitute" for the chicken
Many bird lovers also generally have this experience in the practice of mouth pressing:
When using the real thing When pressing the mouth, lark is most willing to imitate the song of birds. It is much easier to learn the calls of various birds than the calls of livestock, poultry, and insects. This is also true. For example, the call of a grasshopper only repeats one word, which is dull and single. However, the songs of various birds, even simple sparrows and swallows, have more words, more bends, and greater fluctuations than the calls of the grasshopper, but Bailing is willing to Like sparrows and swallows, it is not easy to get into the mouth of a grasshopper.
Taking livestock and poultry as an example, compared with kittens, chicks and even hen eggs, compared with soap-billed sparrows, small sparrows, etc. (not to mention the sparrows of large sparrows), the songs of the former are obviously not as good as those of the latter. People are complex and changeable, but Bai Ling is often willing to learn from the past rather than learn from the past.
However, once the sounds of domestic animals, poultry and insects are learned by Bailing, and Bailing teaches Bailing, it will be much easier to catch the song. This shows that larks are both birds, and the frequency of bird calls matches or is similar to them. Therefore, under the same exposure environment, larks are willing to imitate birdsong rather than learn from others.
For this reason, the egg opening must be pressed well. Currently, many farmers use large magpies with strong imitation capabilities as "stand-ins" for chickens. That is, first train the big magpie to learn from Dankou, and then let the big magpie teach Bai Ling. Bird lovers may wish to give it a try (it is known that magpies should be raised together with chickens from an early age. If you raise more and choose the best ones, they will definitely be able to lay eggs).
In addition, there are some birds with strong imitation abilities, such as red-billed blue magpies, blackbirds (white-tongued birds), etc., which imitate the mouth of a hen's egg very much, but usually make noisy calls, or have "exploding" sounds. "Sound, bird friends can use it when hunting lark, but they need to be careful.
3. When editing audio, pay attention to the mouth matching and Connection
Bailing uses audio to press the egg opening, which is economical and convenient, but the success rate is low. The key to success or failure lies mainly in technique. When recording audio, in addition to recording egg mouth sound sources such as Yuanbao chicken that are suitable for Bailing audio, special attention should be paid to the matching and connection of the mouth. My suggestion is to record a complete set of cries of an old lark, edit based on this, and insert the egg opening of a real chicken without disturbing the routine.
Recently, calligrapher Bird Friend said in the post "Re-discussing the rhythm of the lark's call": "The call of the lark has a rhythm", "...it is the lark who calls according to his own skills. The rules are arranged together, running through the front and back, and unified in the whole set of calls." I very much agree with this view of the calligrapher teacher. Specifically when it comes to the lark's call, it is necessary to follow the rhythm and rules of the lark's call and adapt to the habit of the lark's call.
Bird lovers who have raised larks for many years will know that for some old-fashioned larks, the egg openings are basically arranged behind sparrows, magpies or kittens. It can be said that sparrows, large magpies, cat mouths and egg mouths form small mouths respectively. Among these mouths, sparrows, magpies and cats should be the bedding mouths for the egg mouth. Only by calling the bedding opening first can we naturally call the egg opening and lead to the egg opening. Therefore, when editing mouth-pressing audio, you must adapt to Braun's habit to match the mouth well.
A special reminder is that the details of the connection cannot be ignored. For example, the connection between the sparrow's call and the opening of the egg. In the Bailing routine, the sparrow starts from a single call, a fighting call, and then to the forest, from single to complex, from slow to fast, from slow to fast, and finally leads to the chicken's egg. mouth. This rhythm and law cannot be broken and must be strictly followed. In the meantime, there is a transition that cannot be ignored. According to my memory, it is probably called "Gadfish, Drop, Drip, Drip, and Gum ... & Quot; Then the exit:" Giggle "! Duan Jingkou is the prelude to Dankou.
In addition, in the transitional mouth, careful birders will find that there are two and three characters "Gadi" and "Gadi" in front and behind it respectively. ". Don't ignore it when editing. Don't look at these two or three words. If you throw them away, they will appear out of touch or unfamiliar, which will make Bai Ling find it difficult to learn and give up.
In short, try to record an old person Try not to disrupt Bai Ling's routine so that the edited audio basically conforms to or is close to the rhythm, pattern and habits of Bai Ling.
