The harvest in the past few days is not only to see all kinds of rare animals.
Once, Fang Ye saw the top of a telephone pole on the side of the road, with an apparently artificial bird's nest.
Inside there is a pair of hunting falcons!
A saker falcon squatted inside, as if hatching an egg. The saker falcon's father picked up a pika from the outside and brought it to his partner to eat. The two falcons enjoyed themselves.
Fang Ye curiously asked: "What's the situation?"
Qu Nan shook his head, saying that he only knew that some telegraph poles were equipped with this, and some birds were nesting on them. The specific situation was not well understood.
So Fang Ye took a picture and asked the teacher short-eared owl.
The short-eared owl teacher saw the photo and replied that the meeting was outside, and he came back to talk at night.
Fang Ye expressed his understanding!
Looking at his circle of friends, I watch animals outside all day long.
In the evening, Teacher Short-eared Owl sent a message back and explained to him in detail.
Because the Raptor itself likes to rest on high places, it has a wide view and overlooks the distance.
This kind of telegraph pole is called a tension pole. Compared with ordinary telegraph poles, the structure is different. The distance between the wires is shorter, and the wires are exposed on the top of the pole. Raptors are more likely to get electrocuted.
Raptors generally have no natural enemies. As hunters at the top of the food chain, if a large number of accidental deaths occur due to electric shock, they will inevitably have a profound impact on the local ecosystem.
When ecologists came to investigate a few years ago, they discovered this situation, discussed with the power company, put a layer of insulation on the tensile pole, so that the number of raptor deaths from electrocution was reduced.
The other methods are the bird repellent device and the eagle pole. The bird repellent device can drive the birds away from the tension pole. The eagle pole is also a high shelf, but one is the cost issue. The other problem is that the eagle pole is generally more than wire. The pole is short, not very attractive to the Raptor.
In the last two years, I have creatively thought of a way to get an artificial bird's nest specially designed for birds of prey, and combine the electric pole and the eagle pole.
The position of the bird's nest is higher than the top of the tension rod, and the distance from the wire is far, further reducing the risk of electric shock for the raptor, and the raptor can also use these nests for breeding.
This kind of ecological grid project has now been promoted in Yushu. About 3,000 special bird nests have been installed in 5 counties.
The telegraph pole with hidden murderous intent can also be the gentle cradle of life.
A lot of chicks are born and grow on the poles every year.
These birds of prey will make the ecosystem on the pasture more healthy and stable.
Fang Ye thought of this, and his heart surged for a while!
This is exactly what every person who loves wild animals aspires to pursue, the way that man and nature get along in harmony.
This kind of ecological telephone pole can also be displayed in a suitable place in the zoo in the future.
The trip to Angsai ended, Fang Ye and Qu Nan said goodbye to their family and thanked them for having a pleasant journey here.
got in the car and returned to Yushu, took the plane to Xining, and went to have fun with the head of the garden.
When I came to the Xining Wildlife Park, he usually received others at the zoo. This time, Qi Yuanchang came out to pick them up, and Fang Ye felt quite fresh.
Although it is the first time to meet, they usually chat a lot on WeChat, and the relationship is relatively close, and there is a kind of cordial feeling of meeting old friends.
The director Qi shook hands with him enthusiastically and smiled: "Hello, director Fang, welcome to visit!"
and Blue Carp also said hello.
Fang Ye joked: "President Qi, I didn't expect you to be handsome!"
President Qi put his hand on the hair curtain, and drew it back and raised his eyebrows: "Every time people see me, they will praise me for my integrity, kindness, handsomeness, and handsomeness. What a handsome man!"
Fang Ye was taken aback, shouldn't you say that I am handsome and handsome, this is not a common sense, but he started to cry.
"Damn! I have never seen such a brazen person!"
Both of them laughed.
"Look at the circle of friends you posted. I can see the snow leopard mother and child playing in the wild, which is so enviable!"
While chatting, under the leadership of the director Qi, visited the zoo.
In fact, the environment of Nishino is pretty good, but the various buildings can indeed see a breath of poverty.
Tuxie's cage is about the size of a bedroom, and the floor is also masonry.
Fang Ye When they came over, a few rabbits were jumping up and down inside, chasing around.
The head of the garden squatted down, smiled through the glass, and greeted the rabbit in it: "Simiao? Little sister? You are here, come and say hello."
The rabbit in ignored him at all, and didn't even turn his head!
Should be noisy, what should be played.
Tutu has a very interesting behavior, the end of the tail shakes slightly and at a high frequency.
The tail has its own ideas!
The blue carp watched the rabbit wagging its tail, his eyes were daunting: "So cute!"
Although poor, Feng Rong did a very interesting job.
There is a tree perch, which is diagonally placed on the back wall. The rabbit can enter the house from the ground, or climb up from the trunk, and enter from the upper window.
There are several spherical toys of different sizes on the ground. They look like children's toy balls, which are just the right size for the rabbit.
Fang Ye noticed a rubber hose on the ground at a glance, the kind that is connected to a household range hood. A pipe is placed there, and the caliber is about the same as the waist circumference of a rabbit!
It should be quite fun to think about the way rabbits run in the pipe.
asked curiously: "Does the rabbit like to use this pipe?"
The head of the garden said: "I can play, but I don't play very often!"
Pointing to the woven straw nest on the side platform that looks like a bowl, he smiled and said, "This is donated to us by tourists recently. We rabbits especially like to stay in this place and shrink into a ball. It's fun to show your eyes outside."
Well, even the cat litters are donated.
Fang Ye both sympathizes and admires him!
Nishino is a little poor, but he is really raising animals with his heart.
Like this perch tree trunk, this rubber hose, a few toy balls, how much money can we make together?
But if you put these things in, Tuxie can live a lot happily.
Many zoos are engaged in various fee-charging activities for feeding and petting the cubs, but they don't even think about getting some income to improve the living environment of the animals.
What the zoo was like ten years ago, and what it will be ten years later, except that the animals in it have changed a lot.
Poorness is not a reason, the most important thing is the zoo's philosophy and attitude.
Is it to use the zoo as a tool for making money, a supporting institution in the city, a pure entertainment place, or to shoulder the sacred duty of inheriting fire and raising public awareness of environmental protection?
