Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 241: The Avian Dragnet

The surrounding parrots had already received the alert and chirped in response, "Backup is on the way!"

Before the words even faded, a dark shadow streaked past—Master Crow. He spread his wings majestically, his voice thick with excitement.

"Stand back! This one's mine!"

"Don't you dare steal my credit! This is my performance review on the line!"

Master Crow executed a sleek dive, silently tailing the middle-aged man carrying the stolen goods. High above, the Cockatiel pulled a sharp U-turn, locking its gaze onto the original thief in the mask. Six other parrots quickly split into two teams like a squad of elite special agents, following their respective "captains."

Back at the entrance, only the "King of Roasts"—the African Gray—remained at its post. It diligently looped its megaphone message: "Queue up! Visit with dignity! Cutting in line is shameful!"

Nancy immediately lowered her voice, signaling to the two nearby officers. "Officers, I just received a report from the parrots. We have a thief."

The officers' expressions sharpened. "We'll notify our plainclothes colleagues inside immediately!"

"I've already deployed the Parrot Squad to track them," Nancy added quickly, her tone decisive. "According to their observations, it's a gang. Tell your colleagues to follow the birds' lead. We need to round them all up before they scatter."

Master Crow was wearing a smart watch, so his location was trackable at any moment. Nancy made a snap decision and bolted in the direction the Cockatiel had gone.

Meanwhile, Barry—wearing his snow leopard ears and tail—stood uncomfortably in the shadows of a corner, pulling a mask over his face. If an employee saw him like this and it ended up on the trending charts, he was finished.

Barry had just secured his mask and was about to find Nancy when he saw her charging toward him like a sprinting alpaca.

Nancy locked onto him, her eyes lighting up as if she'd found her savior. "Quick! Follow me! Catch up to that Cockatiel!"

Expecting her to chase someone on foot? With her stamina, she'd be out of breath in seconds.

Before Barry could react, Nancy grabbed his hand and dragged him along, following the Cockatiel guiding them from the sky. They kept their eyes on the target, weaving through the park.

As they passed the Giraffe Enclosure, two "drama-loving" giraffes were following their keeper's lead, clumsily but earnestly performing a "Leg Sweep Dance"! The surrounding tourists were doubled over with laughter, filming the scene.

"Hahaha, this is amazing! Built-in long-leg effects!"

"The person who thought of making giraffes do a leg sweep is a genius!"

The taller giraffe had been placed toward the back because of its height. It swept its long legs half-heartedly, grumbling under its breath.

"Why am I in the back? That shorty in front is hogging all the glory!"

The shorter giraffe interacted with the tourists with a grin, turning back to comfort its partner. "Oh, don't be like that! It's just because your legs are too long—the camera lens can't fit you all in!"

The tall giraffe huffed through its nose. "Hmph, you always were a smooth talker!"

"I bet you stood in the 'C-position' today just because you flattered the Director last time!"

Despite its complaining, its flexible tail flicked honestly—it clearly enjoyed being told its legs were "too long."

The man in the mask had used the chaos to blend into the crowd, his shifty eyes searching for the next target. Just as he managed to snag another phone, a tourist gasped, "Hey! Where's my phone?!"

"Thief!" The scene immediately descended into a commotion.

Sensing things were going south, the thief tried to bolt. Nancy, quick as a flash, grabbed the snow leopard's tail behind Barry. "After him!"

Being pulled like that made the tips of Barry's ears turn red, but his reflexes were lightning-fast. He lunged forward in an instant.

The thief dodged through the crowd, but seeing no way out, he acted out of desperation and leaped over the fence into the Giraffe Enclosure, sprinting toward the back wall!

"Hmm? A thief?"

The tall giraffe's eyes lit up. It was finally its turn to shine! It elegantly and swiftly raised its long leg like an experienced goalkeeper, executing a precise horizontal sweep—

Thud!

The thief felt his feet get caught. He lost his balance instantly and tumbled across the ground like a rolling gourd. He looked up, dazed, straight into the giraffe's gentle yet smug eyes: "Nice try, kid. Did you really think you could slip through my territory?"

The onlookers went silent for a beat before erupting into thunderous cheers.

"Holy crap! Has that giraffe been training?!"
