It’s So Noisy, A Friend Gave Me a Pearl Bird – CH79

Chapter 79: Extra — Let’s Build a Big Bird Nest Together (7)

The handsome brahminy kite circled high in the sky, the white fluff on his chest trembling slightly with each movement.

Big brother could fly!

He really could fly!

Yan Yan looked up and shouted, “Big brother, you’re amazing!”

The kite glanced down at him but said nothing.

Yan Yan: ?

…Not coming down?

Some male birds liked to show off their flying skills in front of their partners. Now that Si Jingce had finally learned, it wouldn’t be strange for him to stay up there a bit longer.

Yan Yan obediently curled into a little fluff ball, waiting.

But after a while, something felt off…

The pearl finch suddenly started screaming and flew after him—

Oh no! Big brother can fly, but he doesn’t know how to land!

After a long struggle, Si Jingce finally landed.

The posture was extremely awkward, but at least—

He was now a bird that could fly.

Yan Yan flew around him excitedly—only to suddenly get pushed over.

The little bird ended up on his back, flailing, unable to flip over.

The kite gently brushed his body with his beak, as if searching for something.

Yan Yan chirped in confusion, “Big brother?”

Si Jingce froze, tense. “You didn’t get bitten by that snake, did you?”

“I’m fine,” Yan Yan shook his head.

He had reacted quickly, and the snake had only frightened him—it hadn’t hurt him.

The kite helped him turn over, and Yan Yan immediately pressed close, unwilling to let go.

Only after calming down did Yan Yan notice—

Si Jingce was still trembling.

The little bird looked up and quietly preened his feathers… even though one feather was as big as himself, it still helped soothe him.

“Don’t be scared, big brother,” Yan Yan said. “This is just a dream.”

He flapped his wings. “That bad snake only bullied me because I’m small. If I were human, I’d definitely handle it easily!”

The snake hadn’t been large—but its mouth could’ve swallowed him whole.

Si Jingce closed his eyes.

If he had reacted even a second slower…

Thankfully, his eyesight hadn’t failed him.

“This almost turned into a nightmare,” he said softly.

Even if it was all fake…

Yan Yan immediately replied, “But no matter where we are, big brother will always protect me!”

“And now you can fly! From today on, you’re an even fiercer bird than a pearl finch!”

…

After that first success, Si Jingce improved rapidly—even gathering nest materials became much faster.

Learning from past failure, they spent three full days just building the foundation.

Meanwhile, they brought fish to the night heron several times. It finally calmed down and, one day, came to inspect their progress.

“Your speed… isn’t great,” the heron said, circling the structure. “Normally you’d already be living in it.”

“Still can’t fly?” it added smugly.

Both birds turned to look at it.

Yan Yan was shocked. “Where have you been these days? You’re completely out of the loop!”

Night heron: “Huh?”

Si Jingce carefully placed a branch, spread his wings—

—and flew off to gather more.

The heron stared.

“…What??”

“When did he learn to fly?!”

“Big brother learned ages ago,” Yan Yan bragged. “And he looks better flying than any bird.”

“Yeah yeah, sure,” the heron waved it off.

Then it seriously inspected the nest.

Tap tap tap—

It pecked at the branches, then suddenly pulled one out.

Crash—

The entire structure collapsed instantly.

Yan Yan froze—then immediately shouted at the returning kite:

“Big brother! There’s a bad bird destroying our home!”

The heron panicked, dropped the branch, and kicked it aside.

Si Jingce landed and looked between them.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” the heron said defensively. “I was inspecting! Look at this—sure, it’s sturdy, but pull one branch and it collapses. Still not good enough.”

It raised its head proudly. “Today, I’ll show you what a real big bird’s nest looks like.”

Yan Yan finally understood what the heron had been doing these past days.

Across the riverbank—

A complete nest.

To “avenge” their destroyed nest, Yan Yan immediately tried chewing and dragging out branches much bigger than himself.

The branches barely budged.

Even Si Jingce tried pulling one—

The nest didn’t collapse.

“See?” the heron said. “A proper nest must withstand damage—not just be livable, but durable.”

Si Jingce studied it seriously. “Mind if I dismantle it? I want to understand the structure.”

“No.”

Yan Yan added, “Then move out. This is ours now.”

The heron exploded: “You little cuckoo!”

It flicked its antenna-like feathers. “This is my carefully prepared wedding home. I’ve recently met a very beautiful night heron.”

It was breeding season.

“Can I meet them?” Yan Yan asked.

The heron paused. “Sure—after I beat ten or so rivals.”

“…Good luck,” Yan Yan said.

To figure out the structure, Si Jingce stared at the nest all day.

Eventually, the heron gave up.

“I’ve never seen such a strange bird… fine, dismantle it. But rebuild it for me later!”

“You’re a good bird,” Si Jingce said. “I’ll cover your meals for a month.”

Deal struck.

He began dismantling immediately.

The heron watched its hard-built nest being taken apart—

and slowly broke inside.

…At least it wouldn’t have to fish for a month.

That helped.

Rebuilding from scratch worked.

After a full month—

The nest was complete.

It was large enough for a brahminy kite, and for Yan Yan, it was basically a luxury mansion.

He immediately began interior decorating—

collecting feathers to make himself a tiny bed.

But after a few days, it was abandoned.

Why use a tiny bed—

when big brother was the perfect one?

…

With a new home, they slept comfortably and got to work.

Two birds needed two fish per meal—

plus feeding the heron—

which meant Si Jingce had to catch nine fish a day.

After catching them, he still had to bring them to the staff station for cooking.

They returned to the fishing area.

The fish here were fat, slow, and easy to catch.

Nearby, bird photographers were already waiting.

Suddenly—

A reddish-white bird burst out of the reeds.

With a tiny pearl finch on its back.

Yan Yan poked his head out, helping spot fish.

“There’s a big one over there!”

He chirped rapidly.

The kite dove.

The rush felt like a roller coaster—

Yan Yan clung tightly, feathers flying like a dandelion.

Splash!

The fish was caught.

Yan Yan shook off water and exclaimed, “It’s huge! One equals two!”

Si Jingce barely held onto it as he flew back.

The scene—A kite carrying a finch, catching fish—was captured on camera and quickly went viral.
