Although this song didn't have the explosive beats of electronic music, Jin Martin was still dancing with great enthusiasm.
It also liked being the center of attention; with so many caras and people's gazes fixed on it, it got excited and started shaking its head and body, forgetting itself in the dance.
After dancing vigorously for a while, it gradually beca tired and rested on the handrail, panting for breath.
He Yifei saw it in this state and said, "All right, looks like the parrot has tired itself out from dancing, let's pause the music for a mont."
Once the music stopped, he walked to a distance and blew a whistle; this ti Jin Martin and a few other parrots took flight, and with a loud flurry, a large flock of parrots ca flying in, unabashedly calling out, "Food, food!"
"Okay, food for you all!"
He Yifei took out so peanuts from his pocket and scattered them around.
Then he suddenly noticed that Jinzhi, after taking a peanut from his hand, did not eat it after peeling but silently watched Jingwen.
After Jingwen finished her peanut, with the peeled peanut in its beak, Jinzhi went over to Jingwen's side and stretched its beak out, seemingly wanting to offer the peanut to Jingwen.
It felt a bit like a boy offering flowers or chocolates to a girl! Clearly aiming to flatter and please her.
Jingwen turned her head to look at Jinzhi, then took the peanut and chewed it down.
After that, Jinzhi gently brushed Jingwen's cheek with its beak, and Jingwen didn't walk away.
"Huh?" He Yifei was pleasantly surprised, "Are the parrots starting to fall in love now?"
Parrots can court year-round and practice monogamy.

They are quite selective about their mates! If you forcibly pair up incompatible parrots, the disharmony in the family can lead to dostic violence, with one bullying the other and fights breaking out between them.
So, it is best to give them more choices and let them choose their own partners.
He Yifei had observed a few parrots over the past months; Jinzhi seed a bit interested in romance, occasionally courting the female parrots by offering food, preening their feathers, but the passion was unrequited—the two female parrots were indifferent to his advances.
Although the parrots got along well, they were just friends!
After arriving at the aviary, living in such a beautiful environnt, the female parrots seed to be in the mood for romance, becoming willing to engage in courtship!
For humans to get married, there must be a house involved; a major reason for late marriages or even no marriages at all is the inability to afford a house, right?
Animals, too, have environntal requirents when it cos to courtship and breeding. Take the bowerbird, for instance, which decorates its nest with flowers, glass beads, feathers, and the like to attract a female's favor.
The previous parrot enclosure, jokingly referred to as "houses with local charms" by Fang Ye, had ropes, tires, perches, and various enrichnt items, but these only t the parrots' basic living needs and weren't enough to spark any romantic interest.
Now, having moved to the spacious and beautiful bird pavilion, they gradually began to ponder matters of the heart. It was a significant mont in their avian lives.
In excitent, He Yifei said, "That's wonderful! Keep it up, Jinzhi, and win the girl's heart soon! Here, have another reward—a walnut!"
Usually, they would be given peanuts, but a deluxe treat like a walnut was a reward for the parrots' excellent behavior.
At the mont, Jingwen only seed to have a budding interest in Jinzhi; if they actually started dating, the two parrots would nibble each other's beaks, much like humans kissing.
Jinzhi received the walnut and offered it to Jingwen, who accepted the gift and seed to be in a good mood!
Jin Martin, on the side, watched enviously and started clamoring, "Walnut! Walnut!"
He Yifei chuckled and said, "You want a walnut too? If you want a walnut, go find a love of your own! Aren't you and Jingwu a perfect match? You spin the records and she dances!"
He left, uplifted, thinking, "I'll report this to the director during the morning eting!"
On the other side, Director Xu saw the parrots fly away and said, "Everyone get ready! Let's start shooting!"
...
Although the MV shoot encountered so unexpected troubles, they were all minor issues, and overall the filming progressed very smoothly.
Whether it was Director Xu, the staff, or the Sparkling Girls, everyone felt this was the most interesting MV shoot they had ever experienced!
"Cut! Yang Xiaochao, your expression is a bit stiff!"
Yang Xiaochao, looking through the glass at the saltwater crocodile floating leisurely in the water tinted blue and green, said helplessly, "Director, give a mont to adjust!"
Staring into the cold eyes of such a massive creature, anyone would stiffen.
Initially, the plan was to create a butterfly special effect, with Yang Xiaochao smiling and gently touching the butterflies.
Now it had turned into a gentle tap of the saltwater crocodile, and Director Xu thought this looked even cooler!
He wanted the MV to have not just the sweetness of the girls, but also a touch of coolness and dazzle!
As ti passed day by day, it was soon ti for the main event, a segnt where the girls danced together.
This group dance included shots of parrots spiraling and flying, an effect the other animal keepers couldn't manage to direct, so Fang Ye had to step in.
Fang Ye pulled a few parrots along with Jinzhi to the side, like a soccer coach discussing tactics in a huddle, surrounded by a circle of parrots, so perched on his head pecking his hair, others hopping on his shoulders.
The Sparkling Girls reviewed their dance, singing and hopping on the side, occasionally glancing over curiously.
Surrounded by so many beautiful parrots, they felt like princesses in a Disney animation!
Fang Ye pointed at the girls and made a circling gesture with his hand, "Hey, when I clap my hands later, you guys take the group and fly around them, just like you do under the canopy of the trees. Can you do that?"
Although the command was complex, the parrots, having frequently drunk spiritual water, were a bit smarter than average.
Plus, his Heart of Nature also had a passive effect that made it easier for animals to follow instructions.
Jinzhi listened intently and nodded twice!
The other parrots busied themselves with their affairs, figuring as long as they followed their big brother, everything would be fine.
Fang Ye shooed a parrot off his head and walked over to Director Xu, "Director Xu, I just explained it to them. Shall I direct a rehearsal now?"
Director Xu nodded slightly, "Okay, give it a try!"
The best effect would be for the parrots to fly around the girls, complenting the elegant dance with their fluttering movents.
But the difficulty of this operation was very high!
Director Xu didn't hold much hope, but seeing how attentively the parrots listened to Fang Ye and nodded, he felt a faint glimr of expectation.
His original thought was to split the parrots into two groups, having them fly in a big formation from front and back, which was easier to execute, and the effect would be sensational if achieved.
This dance segnt would be interspersed several tis in the middle of the MV, with the shots of parrots flying not needing to be continuous, allowing for retakes of this footage.
If the final result didn't live up to expectations, then use the dance shots without the parrots.
But the paynt still had to be made to Fang Ye.
